new york is killing me

Summer in NYC is hot. NYC in a heatwave is hot hot hot and humid humid humid. There were several points where i thought NYC would kill me and subconsciously i'd start humming that Gil Scott-Heron song. There were several points when i'd catch myself in a shop window and thought i'd turned into a lion. Big hair don't kinda care.

In the spirit of all things hot and humid, when your brain is overheating and you just can't muster the strength to talk, i'll keep this short and sweet. A whistle-stop tour of my whistle-stop tour of NYC.

Good morning Manhattan, it's 100 degrees out.

Empire in fifty shades of grey

The setting of F.R.I.E.N.D.S. The programme which taught me most of my life lessons. Life lesson #1: when stung by a jellyfish pee on yourself. Life lesson #2: everybody has a lobster. Life lesson #3: it isn't common, it doesn't happen to every guy and it is a big deal. Etc etc.
