June (or the happy post)

Summer brings a whole new feel to the city. And that sense of doom i felt when i looked forward at my empty calendar subsides as i remember the joys of sitting in a park on the grass long enough to finish an entire book. the mood of freedom and celebration is thick in the air. the mermaid parade today was great fun. i found myself exclaiming 'yay, i love summer!' at least 3 or 4 times.
it helps that i worked a ton in april and may. it helps that i finally connected with work friends. that i have found people to go to all the museums and things with me. that i'm happy.
i'm going to the beach tomorrow. third time this week, second time for swinging, first time for my birthday.

last summer, the heat of my room was unbearable. this summer, i think-well, i'll just go to the park around the corner (it was closed last year) or i'll just go to the mall (why did i never think of that before? everyone in the mall seems to be there hiding from the heat. none of us have AC)

Tonight I saw RED on broadway. with alfred molina and eddie redmayne. the lighting was incredible. the sound was great. they didn't use mics! (which was problematic when the inevitable cell phones went off, but the rest of the time great. and i was sitting as far from the stage as possible!)
i need to see a play a week, just to remember how i love theatre. because i do. (i know, i've said it before)
