It snowed again!! It was so pretty to look at, but like any kind of bad weather, it's only great when you can spend the day in bed with a book and the sweat pants. Oh well.....it was fun while it lasted.
We have a pitch meeting in 2 days....I have some ideas, nothing supremely great unfortunately. So as I was swooning over Brandon Walsh and Dylan McKay, I flipped through all my magazines. Got a few ideas, but still need to let them marinate for a day or two. Hopefully genius will come in my dreams tonight.
Oh how I love tv on dvd. This is how I spent my weekend - curled up on the couch with a pot of coffee and the alumni of West Beverly High. Should have gone out more, but it was just too cold.
so since the cable guy still hasn't come, i must revert back to the old way of watching tv - live!!! oh the horror! but i do have to admit, sitting on my little couch with my burrito for dinner, curled up under my blanket (which my mommy made, thank you very much!) and watching tv like i did way back when (oh i sound old) was kind of fun. with that being said - i don't know that i could do it week after week. i mean, as much as i love the office and 30 rock, could i really give up a social life to spend it each and every night with my remote??? thank goodness for hulu and itunes. how did we ever life without this great technology?
ok, last night was not good. i went to bed around 1 after staying up late reading, and i was rudely awoken around 215 by an odd noise. at first i thought someone has broken into my apartment, then i realized it was something just as bad - a mouse was attempting to break into my apartment. here's the odd part - it was via the brick wall. oh yes, he/she was burrowing through the brick and he/she made a gigantic mess. 
Marissa and I spent the day together. We went to Chinatown for a bit of fun and cheap retail therapy. As we're waiting on the train I realize it's snowing IN THE TRAIN STATION. Kind of weird, but I really enjoyed it. Can't really tell too well from the first photo. But then when we got back up town and came above ground the glorious Plaza was covered in snow. Thankfully without many tourists in the city right now things actually stay pretty and white for a day or so.
This was me at 11:00 last night finally eating dinner. It was a fun day. Exhausting day, but totally grand. This is one of my favorite go to late night, I haven't eaten since 3pm, too tired to actually cook dinners. There's just something magical about velveeta and bread.
This tangle of wires and box of crap has been the pain in my side for the last 18 months. My cable box has always had a hiccup in it, but you reset it every few weeks and for the most part it goes back to normal. Well evidently it's gone on strike and it ain't never coming back to work. I now have to wait 10 days to get some cable guy out here to fix it. I know I have plenty of dvds and more than enough books to be thankful for, but for someone who's career and life revolves around television this truly is going to be a challenge. I rehooked everything back up this morning and the results, well.........let's put it this way - if I get desperate, it will do.
Seriously best 150 bucks ever spent. 4 rows from stage. worth every penny. of course i was the person that was afraid to bring their nice, new camera w/ the telephoto lens and get some AMAZING shots because the tickets said cameras would be confiscated. then what do my wanderings eyes happen to peer? the security guards taking photos for people!!! bitter? oh yes...but at least i was there! i was actually kind of proud of my little bberry camera. if the second one had not been as blurry it actually would have been a really cool shot.
This is his chair and I learned the hard way that no one sits there. It's the perfect place to spy on the cat that lives across the street. This is just proof that I have the male feline version of Gladys Kravitz.
After a no sleep night this was the cute little face that was worth taking the first flight out to get home ASAP.
Not a great photo.....didn't really have tons of time today. As usual throwing things in a bag last minute before I get on the plane. However as I contemplated what to pick as my photo for today I realized that everything I packed was blue - including the bag! Now for those that know me I do wear blue, but I wouldn't call it a staple of my wardrobe, which is why this picture, while not great, is rather funny.
A friend brought me some flowers the other day. So pretty and I love fresh flowers, but it's kind of ironic to have something so beautiful and charming sitting on my kitchen counter when it's soooo frigidly cold outside. I met Amanda for dinner and a trip to the official Uggs store - oh yes, it exists and it's just like an Ugg shoe, all warm and fuzzy. It is starting to turn into that bitter cold outside now (hence the need for warm shoes) and yet after getting back to the castle this evening it's kind of funny that while the rest of nature is dead asleep, these pretty flowers brighten my little apartment. But instead of theorizing and philosophying (not totally sure that's an actual word, but in my brain right now it is) I'm just going to enjoy them.
Few things are as simple as apple pie....or as tasty. what is it about a cold cold night that makes you want to curl up with a plate of comfort food? tonight's choice? apple pie a la mode. and it was tasty, too! Amazingly fun day.....haven't had that much fun in a long time :) Am very sleepy now.......me go night night.
I chose two photos for today. This first being me playing with the flash mostly, but also because this is one of those little moments in my day I dread.....the end of my coffee in the morning. I know it's stupid, especially on my day off, but every morning when I reach the bottom of my coffee cup I get a little blue momentarily because this signifies that I must pull myself off the couch and actually get the day started. I like to pretend my morning coffee is my way of keeping a few moments to myself before the day must begin. But today was a great day. An old friend came over for a late lunch and we talked and talked and talked and talked. I love days like that where you're with a great person and you can just keep talking and forget the rest of the world exists. That's what's so funny about living in Manhattan - I can spend the entire day in my little 450 square feet and the rest of the world has no idea I'm in here. Some days it's the most perfect place in the city - especially those days when the temperature is in the single digits or triple digits and my air conditioner is my best friend. And although I did leave to fun a few errands later in the day, I finally conquered the pile of laundry today. The final load is in the dryer downstairs now.....5 loads......ugh. I knew the hamper was getting a bit full by the way it was leaning, but now that it's all washed, dried, and folded, I don't have the energy to put it away.
If the sink has dirty dishes in it, chances are it's Saturday night - and it's LATE. From Thursday evening until Sunday morning this is my life = sleep, work, sleep, work, sleep, work - literally. Don't get me wrong, I am in no way complaining and I really do love my job, but because of the nature of live tv the rest of reality and life has to be put on hold at times.
