Three Things You Probably Shouldn't Do With a Chest Cold (but I did them anyway)

1. Drink so much beer that you make believe a bar stool is the hood of the car from the Whitesnake video while swinging your hair around and singing (very loudly), "Here I go again on my own!"

2. Run three miles.

3. Bikram yoga.

Anyone want to buy me some soup?

Jersey City in the Summer

More often than not, I get stuck in traffic on the way home from work. This has led me to find several back roads into Hoboken. Here was a view from one of them.

Fastest. Date. Ever.

One PATH ride. A couple stops on the L. Now I'm in Brooklyn, but I am early. I anticipated the trip would take an hour, but less than thirty minutes later, there I was. In Brooklyn. I texted my date, letting him know I was early and would be wandering, likely getting lost. This would be the second time recently I would be meeting someone I met through online dating. I've found these generally don't go well, but my friends have had some luck, so I forge ahead. 

Eventually I meet up with Mr. Brooklyn and we head over to the flea market. I don't really go to Brooklyn, so I was enjoying a view of the city I don't get all that often and the unusually warm day. After walking around the flea market for what must have been less than ten minutes, Mr. Brooklyn informs me that he's not feeling well and needs to leave. With my dating history, I'm not surprised or disappointed. It was more of, "Yea that sounds about right."

Luckily, I had randomly run into a friend (which is weird because I never run into him in Hoboken, but found him in Brooklyn) and had a lovely day walking the flea market and shopping in Brooklyn. Plus, I bought a necklace that says, "Fuck off," and I think that pretty much sums it all up.
