generally speaking

• i miss hanging out in annie's room because of little details like the fish we painted on the walls and there always being a clipboard with a half-finished friendship bracelet attached to it.
• you just have to trust that when you don't have a dishwasher, everything that looks clean, is clean.
• there is such a distinct atmosphere in the produce section of a grocery store on a really hot day (the smell, the general chill).
• i forget how much i love museum gift shops (until i am in one). and i find i am always and oddly attracted to the items that are not location-related and that i can find practically anywhere.
• when some people are nervous/bored/uncomfortable and walking on the street alone, they call people on their cellphones. when i am walking on the street alone and need to make a phone call - i get uncomfortable thinking that other people will think i am nervous/bored and need someone to talk to.
  
• everyday on my trek down from work in midtown to my home in the lower east side (either by walking or taking the bus), my thoughts always go to the idea of a magic carpet.
