First Entry – Adventures in White Plains

    So let’s start with that today started as a good day. It’s my day off so I didn’t have to wake up at the crack of dawn to go sit in a class I should have been able to get out of cause of my previous credits…..but i digress. Now, for a project to work on in class I needed a ground plan and section in 1/4 inch scale. On 18 x 24 paper. Now, we all know that normal printers don’t print paper that big. Especially when you’re a cheap ass person. So i decided to venture to my good friends at Kinkos to do my work for me. Because really, it was either that or actually redrawing the entire thing and spending the entire day in the studio when I can pay 5 bucks to have someone else do it for me. No, it’s not cheating. It’s using my resources. So I successfully complete this quest and find that I have another hour to kill before the bus comes to take me back to Purchase.

So I decided to go walk around the mall and look it at things I can’t buy because I’m an art major and have sold my soul to my department. Here’s where it gets amusing, well, at least to anyone who actually saw this occur. As I was stepping off the escalator, my shoe lace got caught in that place where the stairs disappear to to recirculate back to the bottom. Now….it didn’t just pull at my shoe and I turned around and got it unstuck.

Oh no. I fell flat on my face at the top of one of the busiest escalators in the Galleria. There were quite a few people standing about…and I’m sure they inwardly laughed.

I think it’s karma for laughing at someone tripping and falling in the crosswalk just an hour beforehand.

Moral of the story? Don’t laugh at people unless you want people to laugh at you too.
