Spud

Posted on September 6th, 2008

Today, I have been a “spud.” (You can thank my recent interactions with a host of people from England for that one. Their lingo has been all but reinforced given all of the Top Gear that I have been watching, too!)

Maybe it has something to do with my first named storm bearing down on the city all day today, or maybe it has to do with how exhausted I have been all week. (I have been sleeping quite poorly for a couple of weeks now, and I’m not sure why… I’m not stressed out or worried or anything. Perhaps my new, brutal gym regiment has something to do with it.)

This, however, has started to get me thinking about how I make use of my time in New York. On one hand, I have been in the city for well over a year (combined), so I have done a lot of the touristy things and have seen much of the city. Maybe it is reasonable for me to be settling down into a routine and doing the same sorts of things on a day-to-day basis (with exceptions on weekends, of course). On the other hand, I’m in New York City! I mean, people would contemplate killing to be here! (Maybe not. Hopefully not.) This is a city that never sleeps, and there is just so much to do. Am I squandering my time here?

Maybe I don’t know enough people here. There are the people at work (most of whom live in Jersey.. boo-urns!), a handful of Waterloo grads, my roommates, and that’s basically it. It’s ironic that, in a city as big and populated as New York, I don’t know more people, isn’t it? Or maybe the density overwhelms me. Or maybe it has something to do with my being a big chicken.

Yep, you heard it here first folks: Justin Chan is a big chicken [potato].
