Meaghan and I met up at her job at the south end of Manhattan and showed me around, and we had lunch at a cute little French place and afterwards, because she is a kind and indulgent person, to Kinokuniya.

We got matinee tickets to Avenue Q, so decided to see Ratatouille in the evening, which was a really, really good movie. I liked the level of visual detail that went into it--and the plot is more complex than you usually see in American animated movies. And then we played some Guitar Hero. I like Guitar Hero! It's almost like I can actually play music! (We played Guitar Hero a good bit this weekend, though not to the point of ignoring that I was in an actual real city with actual real things to do.)
Then, let's see: brunch, the Natural History Museum (I had never been in it before! They have some very nifty stuff there, though we didn't manage to see the mermaids and unicorns exhibit), Avenue Q (From the beginning, 'What can you do with a BA in English?,' it was laughing with me. Or at me. I enjoyed it very much, but at the same time I was sort of left going "... But I can go back to college if I want to!") We tried to go to dessert at Serendipity 3, but it was an hour and a half wait, so we had frozen hot chocolates at Dylan's Candy Bar instead.
And then it was time to go home! It was so short. Too short. And we had to drive home for nine whole hours. But it's okay because I will go back in December.
