In Brooklyn

I have written about this song before I know, I know but I love it. It reminds me of this time I lived in a big white two story house alone and needed a roommate. It was late February so it was like Spring already in Austin. I enjoyed sitting outside and watching people go by on their way to work or school, watched birds, squirrels, lots of things. Little Blue birds lived under the window in the kitchen and every morning I'd open it and see the baby birds growing. They'd open their mouths when they heard me shriek about how cute they were, a very Snow White scene to say the least.

But I had to give the place up and so I ran an ad and into my life walked all sorts of people who would stay for a while to hours and just chat about all sorts of things. I can really only remember one person from all this, the very charming, Robert Ovetz.  The song reminds me of that time and place and conversations lasting 6 hours over a kitchen table in the cute white two story. What came out of it was a move to the apartments across the street and a few audition leads. I went ahead and auditioned and by mid-March I was starring in a few student films which lead to more auditions.

This part of my life had an obvious domino effect. Where I am and who I know today can be traced to this one day when I decided to give up the rental. It was by far the best place I have ever lived, spacious, cute and it held everything I owned so perfectly. It did get pricey though and rather than take in a roomie I moved.
