na-na-na-na na-na-na-na hey-hey-hey...

i quit my job today. i just couldn't really deal any more, so i decided not to. now's a good time because my savings are ok since i just got a bonus, and i've got fewer expenses now that andrew and i are splitting them. i've updated my resume, and have been sending it out. hopefully i'll get a job in a decent amount of time. so... yay!

shorewalk of shame anyone?

there's this organization called shorewalkers whose "mission is to enhance, enjoy and protect the parks, promenades, and paths along the waters throughout the New York metropolitan area." every first saturday in may, they do something called the great saunter, where they walk the entire perimeter of manhattan island. i want to do it this weekend and was wondering if any of you cats would be interested. i'm planning to do the whole thing (though it is 32 miles, which seems a bit daunting) but you can drop in and out at any time. anyone interested? here's details:

On Saturday, May 6, 2006, the Shorewalkers will hold their 21th annual Great Saunter—a 32-mile walk around Manhattan’s rim. The pace is steady, but not fast. Most of the route is fairly flat. We keep to the waterside as much as possible. No rain date. We’ll go rain or shine and some of us will make it round, regard­less of the weather. We walk through over a dozen parks, and touch a dozen cultures. You can drop off at many points.


The following are departure times. Be at your chosen start point at least 15 minutes before we depart in order to sign in.
