Weekend


This had to be one of the most unproductive weekends ever. Mainly because I meant to clean and throw stuff away but this is what really happened.

Friday - Saw a play
Saturday - Went to Co Op city (The Bronx) for a food tasting - Sick that evening
Sunday - Sick (no cleaning accomplished)

The highlight was taking a ride out to Co Op City. The bus took about 45 minutes, but it was a straight shot out there. The buildings are gigantic with shopping malls and a 13 screen movie theatre complex. I had heard of Co Op city, but didn't know what it was about. I thought it was a housing project (public housing), but come to find out the residents own their spaces. The income requirements for owning was eye opening (Click Co-Op to see). The organizers of this community definitely want it for low to moderate income people. What a concept. Housing in New York City for people who don't make six figures and above. I just wonder how the air quality is out there. I've heard reports that so many children raised in the Bronx have asthma. Do I hear conspiracy theory?

Being sick on Sunday caused me to watch the rest of the major TV shows on my DVR (except for The Twilight Zone marathon). With that out of the way I can now get back to my video games.

Oblivion
Killzone 2
Fat Princess

Imagine, I'm in a warm apartment, can't have the air on because I start to sneeze uncontrollably and I'm drinking and eating like it's going out of style. Oh and then sleeping. It did wonders because I feel a lot better this morning at work in air conditioning.

What a difference a day makes! Happy Monday.
