Nothing to report

Self-flushing toilets. What an amazingly useful invention! Said no toilet user ever. They're terrible! They just flush randomly if you happen to lean forward a little while you're doing your business! And let me tell you, if you haven't done your business by the time this happens, you will get such a fright, that you will definitely be done by the time the flush is finished! Then you stand there like an absolute twit waving your hand at the sensor to try and make it flush again once you're done! 

The last few days have been fairly uneventful. It was memorial day weekend so we have avoided all things touristy so as not to get tangled in the masses of people who flocked here for the weekend. So I haven't much exciting news to share I'm afraid. I have very inconsiderate room mates who seem to think that nobody needs to sleep if they themselves are not sleeping, so regardless of the time that they arrive back or leave the room, they stomp around and slam doors and make enough noise to disturb a hibernating bear. It's rather annoying. 

In other news, we watched the third Hangover on Sunday morning. The movie theatre is HUGE! They have four floors of cinemas! It totally blew my mind. Each floor has up to eight cinemas, plus its own concession stand. Simon and I shared a large popcorn and I still didn't get the bucket! Very disappointing. I'm starting to think they're doing it on purpose. Jake and I then waited around while Simon went on a helicopter flip over Manhattan. It took a long time because the queue was so long, so eventually we just headed back uptown to our hostel and we played pool and table tennis until bedtime. 

Yesterday the weather was really crappy so I stayed indoors for a much needed rest, I did some laundry which was a fun experience and then Jake, Simon and I went to a nice restaurant last night (for some real food) and I had the most tasty and monstrously large blue piƱa colada cocktail. It was scrumptious! 

We have bought tickets for the Yankees vs Mets baseball game tonight. We are all very excited! So I will definitely have more exciting news for you guys tomorrow! Also, I have finally found a memory card reader for my camera, so I am one step closer to posting pics! Yay! 

Stay classy c",)
