The Uptown Life.
I went to a friend's place last night--a gigantic Tribeca loft. I live in a Lower East Side apartment that's really quite cool--great blasting sunlight, great roof with a panoramic view of the skyline. and my friend Amity hooked me up with some excellent interior decorating, it looks supercute. But, let's face it: it's SMALL.
I want room for a dining room table I can spread out a Sunday Times on; I want a piano. (not that I play piano, other than in a two-fingered techno-producer style; I just like messing around on 'em)
I want to move to Washington Heights. Way uptown, north of Harlem. Get a big place for the same dough I pay down here. What do I do around here, anyway? There'd be a long commute to see some friends; I would miss the vegan club sandwiches at Teany. There's great street art around here, too. But all the bars and sceney stuff--I just don't take advantage of it much.
I wonder if the commute would wear me down; then again, what do I do? See friends, get dinner; no job to go to. My day amounts to writing, playing, lunch; do I need to be in this groovy nabe to do that?
