6 53 - he gives me a ride to newark. so nice!!!!!!
7 23 - i take the path train (which is separate from nj transit, so....not on fire). my face is in some man's armpit. i hate crowded subways.

1 20 - we are done. i clean up, then go back into the city reading i capture the castle.
2 15 - i decide not to waste my day and head uptown to the met.
2 30 - buy some street coffee from a truck, sit on the steps of the museum. hot, sweaty, covered in paint. tourists gawk. i must be an artist, they think.

2 45 - wander around Renaissance and Romantic period portraits, then sketch some statues.
4 03 - lunch/dinner. linner. dunch. a pizza place off of lex. the old man behind the counter flirts with me ("you know why you're so hungry? you saw me, baby") and lets me pay for my $10 meal with all i have, $7 and a few pennies.
