Nik, my charming & jetsetting girlfriend, has arrived in New York!
It’s so nice to see her here, after two months apart. Not much of a shock for her: my furniture, appliances, etc. are all the same ones I had in Tokyo, so it was easy for her to settle in. Even more important, I am the same person she knew in Tokyo, except literate (I can read & write, unlike in Japan!) and more purposeful.
Soon after she got here, I introduced her to the thrill and romance of New York life by going for a walk in Washington Square Park, where they are filming “I Am Legend” starring Will Smith, possibly the biggest film shoot ever in New York. I fed her a nice meal, all sourced from shops on the block where we live.
Here’s Nik by night, lit by the movie lights:
