natasha and i are finally here in nyc!  we boarded a jetblue flight at midnight last night from the ontario international airport.  the flight was jam packed but we thought we would sleep right through the flight, neck pillows in hand.

how were we supposed to know the kind of weirdos we’d be sitting next to?!?

natasha and climbed into our seats.  i had the window seat.  natasha took the middle.  and a teenage boy, maybe 16 or so, sat in the aisle seat.  as we were taking off and engaging in some harmless girl talk, i couldn’t believe what this kid was doing!  natasha noticed the expression on my face and leaned in and said, "what?"

"girl, oh my god. that kid is picking his nose!"  we both started laughing uncontrollably, so hard that our stomachs started to hurt.  but that didn’t stop him.  no siree…he just kep right on digging away.  half his hand all up in his nostrils…  and then he had the nerve to touch the tv and light buttons.  doesn’t it make you wonder what you end up touching in any given day just doing your thing?

this natasha here… i just HAD to jump in… so after shanu fell asleep, i tried to do the same.  but the boy to my left kept squirming (poor me), hogging the armrest (which i didn’t want to touch anyways), and… dropping stinkbombs (no joke, yuck).  at one point i glanced across the aisle… his mom had opened a big box she brought on board, pulled out a mannequin head and began styling the wig it was wearing (hmmm).  oh, and she was a nosepicker too.  apparently inappropriate behavior in public runs in the fam.  ah well, no sleep, but we’re now in nyc, baby!

we managed to get to natasha’s friend’s place in midtown and crash for a couple of hours.  i had a phone interview with ismat mangla of nirali magazine when i woke up.  now we’re slowly getting our day going and figuring out what our plan is for the night.  heading to a desivision event and then off to the w to meet up with some friends…

i love new york!
