Truckin'

Ah, summer. Even though it has been raining for what feels like a hundred days here in New York, it hasn't stopped Brooklyn's favorite entrepreneurs of the season: ice cream truck drivers.  There's this one guy in my neck of the woods that drives around in his big white truck at all hours of the day and night. It could be 8am, or 10pm, and he'll be out there, going at five miles an hour. Something else I've noticed is that he plays at least three different songs as he passes by. I don't know why I haven't yet taken advantage of such incredible access to ice cream at all times, maybe I'm just a little confused by it.

The other night I had a dream in which I was really flexible, and I ate more pizza in one sitting than I would ever be able to consume in real life.

It's Been a While, I Know

Dear Blog of Mine,

I want you to know that I am deeply sorry. I didn't forget about you, and you do mean a great deal to me. I guess I just let you slip into the back corners of my mind, and I know that might not be the most legitimate excuse, but it is the truth. All I can do is apologize, and hope that in time, you will forgive me. I am back now. I will not leave your side.

Sincerest Regards,

Tia

Wow, that felt good to get off the ole' chest. So, it has been a couple of months since my last post, and many things, strange, mundane and otherwise have happened since. My mom came to visit, and we filled up the days with many things. I now have two fully functional bookcases, having shoved the dilapidated brown one (from Target for a whopping $15) out of my room. These new ones are sturdy, they are black, they are from IKEA. They are called "Billy," because everything from IKEA has a name. I also bought a small plant there, did anyone else know you could buy plants at IKEA? News to me.

While she was here, we also went to the top of the Empire State Building (touristy), checked out artwork from the Middle Ages at the Met (goblets), and saw Cirque du Soleil: Kooza on Randalls Island (breathtaking).

Blog, I have returned.
