heh :-D

in the past 6-7 hours...

*the view from the staten island ferry is beautiful after dark

*only in new york do you get off the subway and immediately get offered condoms by a bum... while on a second date this is quite a bit strange to react to

*yay for german pubs for dinner -- thanks to them i had half and half beer and 7up... it's quite unique. :P

*even bigger yay for wonderfully smelling tea-shops

*i discovered i actually like guinness. (does this make me weird?) (the very irish bartender told glenn he extra approves of me)

*washington square is also really beautiful after dark.

*hot cider is extra wonderful after freezing your nose off in washington square in below freezing weather

*the staten island ferry is just as beautiful at 11:30pm as it is at 6:30pm if not better.

i'm feeling fairly warm and fuzzy, and like i won't be asleep for quite some time yet... suffice it to say, tonight was a really good night. :)
