Hello, how are you doin' today?

This is my first ever blog attempt! (thank you, thank you, really, the applause isn't necessary ....). I'm going to keep it short and sweet, since I am sitting in the corner in my local bar here in Astoria at 10pm on a Friday night on my laptop. It's a little more than nerdy if you ask me. I mean they have club music playing and I really should get home eventually.

OK, so! I've never done this, I have no idea if anyone will even see it and I have a sneaking suspicion that this may be short-lived for me. HOWEVER, I'm willing to try (of course, the shot of Patron and 3 Stellas helped in the decision-making process).

Just a quick chat about my hangout: Time Cafe. I've lived in Astoria for going on 4 years now. I never really hung out in the neighborhood - always went into Manhattan for my fun. Then my roommate got me going to this place less than two blocks from our house. What a discovery! I won't go into all of the fun details YET (something tells me I will be writing about the staff and events here frequently, so why blow the whole wad in my first entry). In a word: SPECTACULAR!

For now, I'll just say that I spent the day here drinking espresso, working on my resume and watching Time go from a happy, day-dreamy cafe to city-feel lounge vibe in a matter of a few hours. This has been my frequent routine lately (did I mention I lost my job?). But hey, it's better than sitting at home and doing all of this research and writing from my couch, right?
