Day 19 of Apartment Life…

Last days with Jason I’d better start saving now for Italy. Jason left last Wednesday night about this time for Italy. That was the last time I saw him. Oh, it’s not that bad, only 103 weeks left until he comes back. :( I miss him so much; for once I found someone I click so well with, and before I get to fully embrace it, he’s taken away. In this case, ordered; but I must say, I was very glad that he called and asked to spend his last days here with me. Made me feel so wanted and valued. I’m tryin’ to think of it as an opportunity though… now I have a place to stay and someone to show me around when I go to Italy! :)

Tea with “T” I met someone from MySpace the other day named Tucker, a very interesting individual; but one of the most honest and up front people I’ve ever met. Very commendable.

Shopsin’s Grandiose Menu A restaurant in New York with plenty to offer… as well as some pretty strict rules: - No cell phone use - One meal per person minimum (everyone’s got to eat) - No smoking - Limit four people per group page 4 of the menu elaborates on it’s last rule in case you weren’t aware of what a party of five is:

Party of Five you could put a chair at the end or push the tables together but don’t bother This banged-up little restaurant where you would expect no rules at all has a firm policy against seating parties of five And you know you are a party of five It doesn’t matter if one of you offers to leave or if you say you could split into a party of three and a party of two or if the five of you come back tomorrow in Richard Nixon masks and try to pretend that you don’t know each other It won’t work: You’re a party of five even if you’re a beloved regular Even if the place is empty Even if you bring logic to bear Even if you’re a tackle for the Chicago Bears it won’t work You’re a party of five You will always be a party of five A hundred blocks from here a hundred years from now you will still be a party of five and you will never savor the soup or compare the coffee or hear the wisdom of the cook and the wit of the waitress or get to hum the old-time tunes among which you will find no quintets — Robert Hershon

They seem to have everything on this menu!!! I’m curious to visit :)
