lucky delivery.

picking up a missed package from the ups customer center was one of my first unpleasurable experiences as a manhattanite. the place pretty much sits on the westernmost edge of houston street, where the city quickly becomes dark and slightly industrial, and the line at the package pickup counter is always out the door and full of angry, frustrated people...



last week i ordered two pairs of shoes on too much of an impulse to remember not to have them shipped to my home address. receiving packages in the city can be a bitch unless you sit at home all day waiting for the ups person...which is quite unpredictable and a waste of time. you can always arrange to have them leave it at the door, but it'd most likely get stolen.



anyway...as a result of my haste, i anticipated making two separate late night trips "out west" this week. however, i was instead pleased to find both boxes stacked up in the hallway of my walk-up last night. somehow they made their way into the building and didn't get swiped!

also, the shoes were $25 and $33. now i'm really feeling kinda lucky...
