"once in a lifetime"

things: i moved to brooklyn last weekend. i like it much better in williamsburg than in midtown. my new room has a green wall.

i'm reading haruki murakami's 'the wind-up brid chronicles' right now and am kinda freaked out because i've seen two other people reading it on the subway in the past three days. yesterday, the guy who was reading it was sitting next to me and he noticed me reading it as well and we smiled.

today on the train into the city, a youngish man was listening to the talking heads on his ipod and standing stark still in his kenneth cole overcoat, not realizing we could all hear his music. that's the great thing about ipods. possibly, one of the only great things about them really.
