Nevermind the skin flaps.
I've been in MA for two days now, left NYC on the 21st in an epic perilous journey because I'd only ever traversed anything coming out of Penn Station and was suddenly searching about Times Square for how the fuck to get into Grand Central, hopped up on all kinds of sugar and booze because that goddamned city is determined to keep me as drunk as possible.  For some reason this city is such a place that when walking around drunk for hours I don't sober up either.  Went to brunch before that, ordered a "Mexican Coffee" to top it all off, and good lord they put Kahlua and Tequila in a cup of coffee. Then they coerced me into a papaya mojito.  Jesus, and those were the cheapest drinks I've had in this side of the country at all really, I took a picture of the reciept to prove it to myself. But that was nonetheless a fine experience; that brunch was at a five star restaurant that apparently Donald Trump likes.  I had no idea that people out here thought so highly of Mexican food that it becomes a fancy gourmet experience... at home, it's ubiquitous and satisfied by taco shacks that Donald Trump would never go near, unless he was buying the land to build another one of his ego towers on.

Yes, met piperrhiannon  at Grand Central, who still does not feel real.  She resembles entirely a character from a coming of age cartoon in the 90s, all awkwardly pretty and young looking (seriously, she's cute), and wears ridiculously baggy clothes.  We looked at a store of things that look like stuff and I missed my train, bought a ticket to another one.  I will have to stalk her down again, and dream of her cat.

Yeah... So I'm spending time in Southern Mass and Connecticut now, and it's gorgeous and my hostess gave me a signed edition of her latest book, I had lavender ice cream, and bought my whiny bitch roommate a present and I hope he loves it.  It was either this, or bacon flavored toothpicks.  

In a coffee shop called Fuel, bought a toddy coffee from a countryside dyke, and I have to go to Western Union really quick.  Also, cardamom + coffee is a lovely combo because I love cardamom and coffee and there is a cat at my hosts's house who is in need of my lap.
