We Must Stop Carl From Mating

So, was that two dogs with 3 legs or one with 2 extra?

Decided to take a day to just relax and hang around the city, so I headed over to Washington Square to sit around and read a book, enjoy the weather and outdoors, etc. Chatted with a JC'er who was in the area as well.

Lots of performance artists in the park today- in particular one band over by the Garibaldi statue (who didn't sound too shabby) and a guy playing drums (albeit plstic drums/cans) who was closer to where I was sitting. That dude had to have been playing for like 3 or 4 hours straight at least.

Couldn't make out the exact situation- whether someone was trying to get a picture or something, but the drum guy kept saying "Five doallrs. Five dollars. Five dollars," So, from that point on, there really was no alternative to calling him anything but "Five Dollars".

The book I was reading was Stephen Colbert's "I Am America (and so can you)". Been meaning to read it for awhile- picked it up when it first came out but haven't had the right occasion to start it. I haven't finished it yet, but the first third so far is quite funny and very in-line with Colbert's character on The Colbert Report, with margin comments that echo the style of The Word segment on the show. If you're a fan, it's definitely worth checking out.


After reading for a few hours, I grabbed a bite at Cozy's Soup 'n Burger, which serves some awesome diner grub and some epic burgers. I'm sure most city goers know about it already, but for those of you who haven't been to it, it's located on Broadway between 8th & Waverly, pretty much just where Astor Place comes to a T with Broadway.
