Texas Cxn

Thank you Ben Davies for my first 'comment'. Good to hear from ya!

Someone told me that they think NY is 75% Texan. I don't believe them, but it makes me feel proud of our state, unlike the Naked Cowboy who stands in Times Square in his tighty-whiteys (a disgrace to the race of cowboys). However, despite my skepticism I had an encounter with a Texan today. Due to the fact that I am homeless in a matter of weeks, I have been spending every free moment on Craig's List. Tonight I stopped in Bryant Park (quickly becoming my favorite place in the city) and hoped online to do a little searching. I phoned about a place in Harlem and left a message. My call was obviously being screened cause Jenny, said poster of ad, called back immediately. And guess where Jenny is from... Ft. Worth! Love it! She said she wasn't sure if my call was someone from home or someone about the ad. We had a lovely chat and set up a meeting for tomorrow. Its way the heck out in Harlem (the safe part, though), so I'll time it tomorrow and see how long it takes to get to midtown.
I had my other classes today: Movement and Voice & Speech. Movement was ultra-relaxing. The guy who teaches it is Canadian, eh?! The point is to have your entire body connect with what you encounter and experience while acting. Its kinda hard to explain but basically its using your whole body as your instrument. Adam has the euphonium, Mattie has the piano, I've got my body. We basically hit the same point in Voice & Speech. I really like the teacher for that class. She actually taught at Carnegie Mellon (brush them shoulder off) and somewhere else too. I spoke with her after class about singing. She said our work in class will help me a lot and we could possibly set up something supplemental on the side. Uh, awesome!
So it was a great day. OH! Bryant Park! Has anyone been to Bryant Park? This is my favorite place. Its not huge, but its beautiful. Little cafe tables and chairs (reminds me of France). And the best part is free internet.... outside! How great is that. There are so many cool things in this city and I haven't even gone down to SoHo or Chinatown or Lil' Italy. So much to see and do. I'm glad I'm here for longer than a week.
Just a warning: I'm pretty impressed with myself for writing everyday so far. However, I doubt this kind of consistency will continue. I feel like a live several days in one 24 hour period. This city drains me. Its good cause this is kinda my public travel diary, and I will try to continue but lets face it, y'all probably don't read it everyday anyway. Thanks for those that do. And on that note, I will sign off. Thanks for joining me for another day in NY.
