busking is alot harder than i thought. today, danielle and i decided to meet up and try to make some money with our singing. we strapped on our guitars and plopped down on the platform of the brooklyn-bound N, R, Q, W train at union square. i realized that you have to really work the crowd to earn their spare change. you can't just entertain them, you have to move them. i thought i could get away singing "california girls" and my unsoulful version of "ain't no sunshine". danielle demonstrated that you have to really sing your guts out if you want them to crack open their wallets. the songs that earned the most money were also the songs that appeared to touch them the most: "amazing grace" and "i still haven't found what i'm looking for". after almost an hour of singing, we had just enough to buy ourselves lunch at mickey-d's (off of the dollar menu).

i have an interview at a temp agency tomorrow. if things go well, i'll "get to" file paperwork and answer the phone for a living. whooopppeee
