Go Yankees!
I have no idea how’s the Yankees season going, to be honest. I haven’t followed in quite a while. But yesterday I went to the storage room to look for something and instead, I found my baseball/softball stuff. A few balls, 2 bats, my glove. One ball signed by Elio e Faso (Elio e Le Storie Tese) [ndr. this is a long story, will take another post someday] and one ball with “New York Yankess” printed on. This one is 26 years old. My brother was a few months old and my father was sent to NY and then Houston for work. He brought us back a tennis-player Snoopy he got at Fao Schwartz. If you have never heard of it, well I think it’s the gigantic toys store you see in the movie ‘Home Alone’. And he also bought that baseball ball with a NY Yankees print. The print is almost faded. Not being a priceless item, I guess I can use some sharpie on it to revive the print.
Well… All this made me think of my first short trip to NYC. I spent the Christmas / New Year’s Eve Holidays there, in 2003/2004 and it was grand! I absolutely loved the city. And I miss it! The only other city where I had a similar feeling was London, though it’s not quite the same. I like both cities and the vibes they send. There’s always something to do, you never get bored. But NYC has that something special that I haven’t found in any other city I visited or lived in. This year is pretty busy, but I have to think of some short trip next year, mmm. Definitely. Or should I say Defi-f***ing-nitely? Naaah, it doesn’t sound too well…
Sorry, this post is more of an inside-jokes galore, haha. Too many references, will do better next time. I promise 
Well, I guess it is no secret that I fell in love with NYC too…I miss it so much. My man is so tired of hearing of my year in the big apple he has started talking about trying to find a way to live there…as if that is so easy. *sigh* He IS a phd student though…so perhaps if he can find someone to collaborate with over there, it could work out. i can only cross my fingers. In the meantime i will keep visiting what I think of as Europes new york: Paris. Not quite the same, but pretty damn close!
