Fucking shit!!!

I've been reading Beck... I finally have time (except it's 1 AM) and I'm on the 14th volume of the 19 that I downloaded...

Somewhere in chapter 42 (they just got to NY), they had this panel:



Holy fucking shit. That's fucking Cooper Square!!!

At first I was looking at it to see if I could maybe recognize it (even though I had no hopes at all) but then I was like...Hey, that looks like the Starbucks at Cooper Square... And then I looked on the left side -- fucking hell, that's Barnes and Noble! That fucking cross-section that leads to the cube (and once you're there, you can't get off very easily) that would have been at the lower left corner...

It's Cooper Square!!! I walk down that way every single day to get to class and to go back to my dorm. It's like five minutes away from where I live.

Fucking shit, what a coincidence!

It makes sense though... Just down from Cooper Square is Saint Marks Place and that has a lot of Japanese people visiting it... A couple of Japanese tourists even stopped me and Janet looking for "Little Tokyo," lol. We had no idea what they were talking about but when we mentioned Saint Marks, they totally got it. Apparently Saint Marks is Little Tokyo. Go figure.

But still, holy fucking shit. I was in a state of disbelief for like a minute and I kept saying "fucking shit" and made my roommate toss and turn... *guilty*

But still!

I mean, wow! You can even see that newspaper stand that's right in front of Starbucks (though technically, there's a subway station there too).

Usually when I walk to class, I walk on the sidewalk right by Barnes and Noble and when I come back, I usually find myself walking over to Starbucks and then over to the Square unfortunately... It really is hard to get off of the damn thing... And the cube sculpture/figure thing is really large and scary! I mean, homeless people sleep under there (and use it as a public toilet but that's true of most of NY)... And it's really inconvenient to be there too... You have take two crosswalks just to get back on the right path when you could have just taken one if you had avoided the Square altogether.

Also, if you take the crosswalk right at the mid-right side, you arrive at one of the only K-Marts in NY. Just a piece of info that's really stupid.

Wow, I'm still marveling over it.

And I really need to get to sleep... Gah... Lab in 7 hours, wake up in less than 6... Haven't written to Masha yet, haven't taken a shower, still have 5 more volumes of Beck (damn it's addicting).

And I have Volunteer Training tomorrow in Tribeca (so far away!). I'm scared. I wanna skip but I can't... I have to be a good person. But I so rather be napping during that time...

And Janet wants to go out to get Japanese food and we were planning on going to a Japanese club party/poetry reading. I know, how the hell does that mix, but...

It's called "The Beginning 2004 - the eighth taste - the Helloween bash - There's also a $10 cover... God, I hope they don't card.

edit x1: Now I wonder if it was a coincidence that Maho wants to study film at NYU...

Damn.

This is my December
This is my time of the year
This is my December
This is all so clear
This is my December
This is my snow covered home
This is my December
This is me alone

And I
Just wish that
I didn't feel
Like there was
Something I missed
And I
Take back all
The things I said
To make you
Feel like that
And I
Just wish that
I didn't feel
Like there was
Something I missed
And I
Take back all the
Things I said to you

And I give it all away
Just to have somewhere
To go to
Give it all away
To have someone
To come home to

This is my December
These are my snow-covered trees
This is me pretending
This is all I need

And I
Just wish that
I didn't feel
Like there was
Something I missed
And I
Take back all
The things I said
To make you feel like that
And I
Just wish that
I didn't feel
Like there was
Something I missed
And I
Take back all the things
I said to you

And I give it all away
Just to have
Somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone
To come home to

This is my December
This is my time of the year
This is my December
This is all so clear

And I give it all away
Just to have somewhere
To go to
Give it all away
To have someone
To come home to

Eddie's dead.

And that song...It was my only sad song with me but it works for how I feel right now.

God, damn.
