Had a full day in the city, which is pretty rare. Had to take care of some school stuff in the morning and then wandered around Barnes and Noble for awhile looking at "Poetry For Dummies." Met up with Winnie and Carol at Saint Alp's in Chinatown for some buo-ba while we waited for Greg to come and eat with us. Luckily, we ate at Joe's Shanghai because i've been craving the shao long bao's for weeks now. We wandered around Chinatown for awhile, looking into some shops and stuff. Chinatown smells, straight up...its sick. Anyhow, i spent a few bucks on purely useless items like little basketball figures and a sheep that poops. The find of the day was this tiny tiny mah-jong set that is travel size, with pieces about as small as your fingernail. We played it waiting for Greg's church basketball team (they had a game at Chinatown's YMCA) and realized that the pieces are way too small. Still, a travel mah-jong set, pretty neat.



We ended up going over to Carol's apartment for a quick stop after that and i realized she lives a few blocks over from Amit so i stopped by his place and then we headed up to visit Randall and Gerard's apartment on 85th. Their spot is nice and all decked out, especially with Gerard and his pimp furniture (cheetah print pillows et al). We ended up watching Unbreakable for a bit until Hong and Lynn generously picked me up after their movie. I've decided that M.Night Shyamalan is a great director and the more i watch Unbreakable, the more i appreciate it. I was one of the few who liked it in the first place but watching it a few times over has given me even more insight into Night's vision and prowess. Check it out.
