back in Brooklyn, finally. Have remembered some things about Israel and Egypt. I am reading a book called "Beirut to Jerusalem" and someone was talking about the sensuality of the women. There is sensuality everywhere and I admire that, cause as I was walking through the snow it occured to me it never snows there. But these are people who feel more than they think, which I envy, but common sense is missing. But I have envied these Italian and other Med women who seem slow and fiery and with their boobs hanging out of their dresses ......I would like to be that for a day.

This is what I missed, though, sitting in my place at night with the view of the other apartments, when it's quiet and only my cats for company. I missed this a lot. I wish I could stay here for months more just vegging out in my place but I can't.....I'm going to, I think, be working very hard in the upcoming months. BUt I'm so happy to have my place back after months of not having it and a week of strangers being here and just not having space. Non NYCers don't understand how hard it is to find a place in NYC and keep it. I wonder why people gravitate toward certain places, like if it's fated. Or at least there's a chemistry there.
