Oh, The City... (aka: New York - Day 1)

so, i've been putting off writing about my trip to NYC because it is so daunting, a LOT happened in New York that can be written about, BUT i am at work now, so i have the time... here it goes:

Day 1: we were quite hungry by the time we finally got around to leaving, so we stopped at a Panera Bread, and all got soup, and we ate and talked and it was fun. There was some dude wearing a cookie monster shirt (all ghetto large) and a cookie monster hat (all ghetto flat) we laughed at him and tried to get each other to go make a comment to him, but no one did. after that we took a fairy to the city, this is the fairy that Dorothy takes every morning to get to work it was fun. We took a bus to 5th, and then walked a bit, and checked out the Apple store which was kinda cool cause it was just a Glass box outside this building, but you go down these stairs or circular glass elevator and you go down into the center of the store... it was an apple store, nothing special... very crowded, after that we took a cab to the Met, it was kinda confusing wither or not we were suppose to pay or what... it said, "Suggested donation $20" we were like, "psh..." and gave $5 each and went directly into the Egyptian exhibit... (i thought this was the only way we COULD go but i was wrong) All the pictures from the Met are on my facebook. Check them out if you wish. I really enjoyed the black statues... and decided if i was an acient Egyptian king i'd have only black stone work for everything... cause it looks awesome especially when polished, everything would be black, and that cyan type color that they have, that is also quite interesting, though i found some of them are just painted that color... which is sad. i wanted the stone to be completely that color... oh well. Eventually we made our way to the Medieval section and there were some sweet statues of saints and dukes and Jesus... we were getting kinda tired and we sat down, and i took a look at the map that Dorothy had, and come to find out, there was a "Armor and Arms" section... i was like, "what the heck are we doing here, lets go there!" and then i pretty much fell in love, i wanted EVERYTHING in the whole section... it was all so beautiful, engravings and etchings in everything so intricate... GAH! I took pictures of everything... though i found out later that there was a shield room that i missed, and i nearly cried...
eventually we left the Met... 4 or 5 hrs later, and it was dark, and colder, and we were all very hungry... so we headed off to McGee's Irish Pub, the pub that the pub in "How I Met Your Mother" was based off of... it didn't really look anything like the pub in the show... but it was still cool, nice atmosphere... way better than anything in greenville... and on par with the Hibernian in Raleigh, i got some Bangers and Mash (Irish sausage and mashed potatoes) and we drank and laughed and talked and it was fun. then... we went to H&M to basically get all the stuff i wanted to do out of the way all in one day, i searched for my perfect jacket that i had passed up so long ago... and couldn't find it, i found one similar that was green... but i wasn't about the green... so i asked a sales person and she said they only had them in green... then i happened to check out some other jackets a little farther down were we were and behind some other style of jacket was MY jacket! its not the EXACT same one... but its close, and i love it. then we just kinda skulked around looking at other things, i tried to try on a suit cause i could have gotten a whole suit for $75 but they didn't fit cause im fat and i was sad. after that i think we just went back and tried to watch "Across the Universe" but Dorothy's dvd player didn't like it, and thought it was too dirty cause it put a parental control on it, and only it... we put in other dvd's, rated R dvds and they worked fine... just Across the Universe didn't work, and then i fell asleep. AND THAT was Day 1.
