nyc: sleep

new york doesn't sleep. loads of shops are open all hours, and those that aren't either seem to stay open very long hours, of course there are exceptions to this and they are generally things that i want to be able to go, such as the camera shop i needed to go today - it closed at 5.30.
or the various galleries that seem to close for a couple of days during the week, even though they are paid galleries so they are losing money (the whitney and moma fall into this.

but right now i am in a 24 hour starbucks just by lincoln centre some 15 or so blocks away from my hotel.
i am shagged, it is nearly time to get up, but i am finding it hard to sleep, because i just want to be doing things, want to be experienceing things and you can't do that when you are asleep.

from the window where i am typing i can see a yellow cab and i can see the fog from the subway billowing out. the flags of the lincoln centre are blowing in the wind, i am guessing it is going to be very chilly out there. i am not going to walk back to the hotel i think i am going to catch the 1.
i am going to be pants tomorrow, when i am expected to be working....... ugh,
