FLASH FLOOD WARNING!
I think I brought the rains! It is pouring here and there is flash flood advisories. So I feel right at home!
I made it and it was a crazy trip. Got up around 3:30 to get my stuff ready (bed at Midnight, yikes!) andf had a pretty bumpy plane ride. Sat next to a woman who is the Polish Diva from Milwaukee and plays with my friend Toby of the smiling Scandinavians. And she had just read the Seattle Woman article about LG

and knew immediately what I was talking about when I said I work with a company that does new work by women. Yay! Got a car from the airport which ended up being 1 1/2 hour car ride. Weird traffic in Queens coming from JFK, ended up going up around through Midtown so even though we were in rotten traffic, I sort of got to see a good chunk of the city and got oriented a little. Drove right through Times Square (SO COOL). Even McDonalds has a HUGE A** neon sign. So many things I want to check out but the walking of the city will come later. Or when I have an ark to float me through the rain.
I did get to take my first subway ride right away (thanks for the metro card Zoe!) it was great and totally easy. I SO wish we had a real transit system in Seattle. Went over to the Village with my new roommate John (who is totally sweet and considerate btw, score) and we had the best pizza ever at John's (not my roommate)
Stood outside inline in the rain waiting to to get in and it was totally worth it. Had a great talk about theater and art, specifically on female and feminist perspective.
Headed back to and stopped to get some breakfasty goodness and NyQuil. Did I mention I was totally sick by the time I got off the plane. Same craptastic cold the Quickies cast had. I was totally dying by the time I got back to our apartment and inflated the air mattress I will be sleeping on while I'm here. Passed out and I am laying low this morning for a bit. The lab starts with orientation at 2:30 today so I am inside blogging and trying to kick the a** of the little bacteria in my head. Starting to get that sort of nervous excited to really get started.
I settled in really fast here. I totally just feel at home. I think I expected it to feel stranger but it doesn't. Just feels like I am exactly where I am supposed to be right now, even with all the snot in my head...
