Times Square?

This year, I’ve worked in San Francisco and in a skyscraper in New York. All I’m saying is that as far as childhood goals go, 2017 will have to involve me holding a comic bearing a writer’s credit in order to top 20161. However, what I didn’t really consider when constructing these dreams of being a fancy developer / consultant in a NY skyscraper is that I’m scared of heights. Terrified, even. Which makes for an interesting meeting in the ‘corner office’ with floor-to-ceiling windows. Or even just attempting to close the curtains in my hotel.

Also, I still find it amusing how astounded people are when I use public transport. Next time, I’ll wander around with a copy of Vignelli’s MTA map to do it properly.

Oh, and I booked my Christmas flights home. I’ll be back in the UK from December 17th until December 28th. I probably won’t make it to the south Bank this time around, sadly! Maybe next year…

Tonight’s blog was brought to you by Shimura Curves. Just because.
