last night i fertilized the neighbor's garden with pukey puke

not the most auspicious start to the new year... a raging headache kind of put a bummer on the night.

however, i was genuinely touched when a male neighbor asked me if i was ok because he'd noticed me sitting there for awhile. no ulterior motives, he asked if i had enough water and all. also, i haven't noticed this in ny but here strangers on the street wish you a happy new year with a huge (albeit drunken) smile. it's nice.
