and took a lot of pictures as we walked. Messed around with the shutter speed and settled on 100, great for walking and taking pictures. We went straight to the hill. I wish I took more pictures, everything looked so amazing! The first time we went down we sort of ran and plopped down, hurt my butt. Went down a second time and then moved to the other side of the hill. First was was fun, went pretty fast. Went a second time on my stomach, it was so much fun! Then we walked to the art museum to see the Rocky Steps and take a picture with the Rocky statue. From there, was basically walked around and he showed me a few buildings and told me what they were and I took a few more pictures. Headed home and I stepped out front to get a few more pictures after we dropped off the discs and I saw his other snowboard/Trinity's old bike. We arrived around 11:09am. After coming inside, I went back out real quick to take a few pictures with my phone to send to Ben/Ashley/Mom. Jimmy told me about meeting the cast of The Happening and the story about the clubs and party at 11:25am. We had coffee and pancakes for breakfast just before 11:56am, then went outside to shovel. I either shoveled first or ate first, whichever.Afterward, we left to go get Trinity's bearded dragon at 12:13pm. First we stopped off at the equivalent of a Walgreens. Trinity had to get toothpaste. Then, we went to Jimmy's old apartment to get some mail that was sent there. After that came the bearded dragon at the pet store, and then a bar place to get champagne, then another place to get apple cider. We arrived home at 2:35pm.
Between 32-35 degrees.
Left for China Town to get Soba noodles and sauce at 2:53pm. It was a pretty decent sight to see. The market we stopped at was fairly interesting, it felt like being in another country. I got to see how they killed fish :S. It took us a while to find the Soba Sauce. Headed home and arrived here at 3:49pm.
When I come home is when I try to post what I've done while I was out. I've obtained a lot of interesting, new information, such as rates for apartments and history. This place seems run down, but historical would be a more precise word. It's expensive, but very nice, very attractive. I totally want to live in the city, up north sometime, at least for a year.
Jimmy's "winter roast" or whatever coffee blend is very tasty, might I add. Camera is dying as I have taken a couple hundred pictures by now! Plenty more to come!

I pretty much chilled on my laptop and ate the leftover pizza until we were ready to leave at 5:20ish pm. We headed down the street to catch the bus. What a mishap :/ :/ :/
There was a holdup down the road because of a big hotel at a party, our bus driver honked the crap out of some of the people blocking the road. Thanks cop that sped past us and didn't help at all! Anywho, we got dropped off around 5:56ish pm and walked over the the plaza place and the fireworks began. We walked a bit closer and settled to take pictures/record a video. After about 10-15 minutes, we walked home. We hit city hall, I believe, and the subway was closed because the surrounding area was being blocked by police due to the parade tomorrow. Some band was outside rehearsing. We continued to walk, took some pictures of the Vans park, aka the LOVE statue. Decided to finish the walk home and arrived here at 7:14 pm. What a workout! I'm hot and sweaty, and Jimmy ran a few blocks to Rite Aid (a seemingly popular pharmacy store) to get Trinity a battery for her camera. Trinity and I watched the end of Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium. Stay tuned! [Weather was foggy tonight, seems to be a little misty and been stuck between 32-33 degrees)

Chilled on the laptop for a bit and started watching Into The Wild, Jimmy's favorite movie. It's great! He started cooking our Soba noodles for New Years. Near the end, we paused the movie to eat our dinner. Apparently, you must slurp all the noodles into your mouth before you begin to chew them or it's considered "breaking your luck" for the New Year. It was very tasty, yet spicy!
So then we finished the movie, it was pretty good. We started to watch TV and surf all the channels for the New Years Live shows. Some decent songs/concerts in NYC and the firework show here in Philly. We were at the 6pm show, but the 12pm show was a bit different. In one part of NYC, it was blowing snow all over the place, but in the other, I believe Times Square, it was raining. (Whatever the part with the big Y/fork in the road).Ben is over at Brittany's now, I think I've sat here for the past hour and twenty three minutes (1:23am) on the laptop and spoke with Ben a few moments ago about the blog. Jimmy is taking a quick nap apparently while Trinity gets ready to leave for the bus/airport. It's been lightly raining for a while now, and it's been ~33 degrees for a few hours. Florida has been ~60-64 degrees. Hmmm. :p
