I had a couple firsts today.
I sat through my first street performance in Washington Square Park today. A magician, who wasn't a great illusionist (he had nothing on that street magician I saw in New Orleans), most of his tricks were preformed props or easily seen-through. There were a couple that were good palming jobs (ones where you could tell he was palming, but his misdirection was so good that you couldn't tell when he palmed it or what he did with the object after palming it). Nonetheless, it was still a nice divertissement for half of an hour this afternoon.
The other first wasn't so entertaining. I saw my first (and second and third and fourth and fifth and possibly sixth, but I lost count) rodent in the building today. Don't worry (especially you, mom), they weren't in the apartment, they were in the trash room. And they weren't rats the size of medium sized dogs. They were just regular sized mice. But I did want to get out of there as soon as possible after seeing the first one dart across the room, then the second and the continued movement in the large garbage bag that was between me and the trash chute.
I also had that interview today, but I won't write about it until I know more... just in case.
