friday night partee

hi. i am babysitting! tonight is a party, with me, the creatures, and my best friend, my computer. BABYSITTING is the best thing to do at night, second to watching movies, but alot of the time at babysitting you can watch movies too.
the other day i was thinking of jobs i could have and i was thinking i don't have enough experience to have jobs that i want. it made me think of a time when i was in college when a friend was moaning and groaning about freshman and sophmores in 300 level classes. the conversation went something like,
"i can't stand it when these people are in the class and have to have bullshit like terminology that they should already know explained to them, it totally slows down the whole class and it is just because they want the presitege of the upper level class."
"you don't think someone who didn't have the framework of the lower level classes could add something to the class anyway?"
this person went on to never finish college, having been placed in a high level job.
can i get a similar high level job? i never felt like i wasn't contributing to the upper level classes. besides isn't there no way that anyone could have a "complete background" in something?
it is annoying that my boss at my internship is only 2 years older than me. how do some people get such nice high paying jobs when they look for jobs and other people get such crapy jobs or jobs that don't pay them anything or crapy jobs that also don't pay anything.
it all seems very arbitrary.

this last week was the one year anniversary of me moving to new york.


things i know i like about new york:
puerto ricans
roofs
riding the train while reading
adventure walks
sitting in parks
sitting and walking in general
eating
people watching
chatting with strangers
maximizing space
sheer multitude of eating establishments
sheer multitude of people i like or would like to like
ease of bumping into people
ease of avoiding people
babysitting
witnessing details of strangers or aquaintances due to close proximity
lack of standard for exact time
rain and mist

today i bought 4 plants:
a money plant
a lavendar plant
english ivy
a heart leafed p____ (hangs!)
rue, a provincal country herb

i guess thats five plants
i also already have a basil plant, which i have nursed from a wee babe into a real grown basil plant.
i hope my plants will not die.
