You can see De Niro in the brown trenchcoat! Happy Tuesday! I was supposed to be in Washington, DC today, but due to some delays at work, I have to ride out tomorrow at 6am! :( Then I ride back home again at 6pm. Great.
This morning was hectic. I took a $30 cab from 96th Street because the trains were delayed and I couldn't miss my ferry. Note to self, never take a cab if I am that far uptown to my ferry. Waste. Of. Money.
Upon arriving at the ferry, I saw a cluster of people outside the ferry station and some cameras. I figured perhaps something happened and they were using our ferry station to broadcast. Did I mention I was late? So I ran towards the ferry and ducked around people, microphones, and cameras on my way to the ferry entrance. As I was about to enter, I heard people yelling and again, I had my earphones on, so I turned around and was swiftly grabbed by some security guy! The ferry security guard, Eric, saw me getting hauled off, and ran over to retrieve me and told them I was a government worker! Ha ha ha! The guard told him "handle her!" Then walked away. Again, super cheesy grin on my face, I told our security guard that I was so sorry and I thought it was news coverage. As we walked to the ferry, he whispered, "This is a De Niro movie. He's right there in the trench coat. Why did you run?" I told him again, that I thought it was a news conference so I just ducked the cameras to catch my ferry. He laughed and told me to get on the ferry.
Our security guard let me take a few pictures before I had to board the ferry. It was excellent and I'm glad they didn't arrest me or knock me out for running on their set. Although, I think if I would have actually seen De Niro first, I would have screamed and freaked everyone out.
Today was a tiring day, but for some reason, all I wanted to do was go home and cook. I wanted rajitas de chile con queso and shrimp and some grilled chile and cheese and the my grandmother used to make, along with tortillitas a la parilla. :) So, that's what I did. I came home and made my own feast for the hubs and Melina, my sister-in-law. She opted to eat out with friends but my dinner was very fulfilling and delicious. I think my grandmother and mother would be proud. There's something so calming about cooking and some days I love it, others I hate it. But on days like today, it is just what I needed.
