The Bowery, 1883: [...]

Another accumulation post from Jan/Feb/March. But not that much actually, when I think about it. I’ve been really trying to hold back on the book-buying, which has been successful, so far I think.

So last weekend, we went to see Inception. But we had lots of time to kill because two movie times were sold out. So we bought our tickets and then had over two hours to kill. Josh was worried that we would have a hard time [...]
