Goodbye NYC

So today is the day. The evil day of leaving. It's not that I'm not excited to see Michigan people or that I hate Michigan but come on it cannot even come close to comparing to NYC! Today I got up and ready and went down to Union Square and was immediately sad and almost drawn to tears. So I went and bought some yarn! Yay! I got some Stainless Steel Wool (weird right?) and some fun other stuff. Then decided to walk from there to 42nd Street and just enjoyed the fact that it is a gorgeous day here.

Came back and now that leaves us here. I'm going to start re-packing in a few then eat and maybe get a nap in if possible. I'm super tired already. I have a car coming at 4:45pm to go to the airport. I'm glad to have that as I'm super anxiety traveler and hate my life until I get to the gate. Even then I'm a mess, I hate flying so wooo!!!

Oh well.

I am really going to miss Nyc but I've had lots of fun times...I will not miss the slow walkers that have to walk down the middle of the sidewalk leaving you no room to pass them or walking in the slushy snow on slippery sidewalks and dangerous stairs to the subway. But really those things can and are overlooked with the fact that I love it here. I am truly not meant for a life outside of a city. And it will happen, just not right now I guess. Too much upheave with the economy? We can generally blame our problems on the economy right? That's what I do anyway.

Anyway take care and this will probably be the last blog as life in Alpena is not that exciting but who knows where I might end up next! I sure don't!

Last few days :(

So I don't think I blogged yesterday. I got up yesterday super early and met up with Elissa. Got to see her before she left for Cancun...which is exciting for her but sad for me, no Red Bamboo!

After that I went to Union Square and got some groceries and walked around for a bit then went to Madison Square Park and got SHAKE SHACK!!! Delicious. Oh and I randomly came upon Joey Ramone Place, wtf.

After that came home and ate and tried to nap then I went to Central Park and then to Lush which is always amazing. After that just came back adn watched basketball and went to bed.

Today I got up early again and did some laundry and hung out for the morning and watched my Louisville Cardinals lose :( That was sad. After that went down to Brooklyn Bridge and then walked from there to 51st street which is a helluva walk and then came back here. Was going to start packing today but I'm way too tired. I think tomrorow I shall be able to get it all done anyway, it's all packed pretty much just some re-arranging to be done.

Tomorrow is the last FULL day in NYC which is so sad. I do not want to leave at all. I've had a ton of fun here, reconnecting with Elissa, going to basketball games and getting wasted, shopping, walking around all the time...I could go on and on but I will not because I'm way too tired to even type.

But I will miss you NYC.

We're down to less than five days. Which is so lame but I don't wanna talk about it.

Today I got up and ready and mailed a package home then walked from my place to H&M and the NBA Store for some shopping then I went to go to Shake Shack but the line was ridiculously long, like 100 people at least long so I figured screw it and came home and ate then tried to nap then went to the park and read...then dinner and now watching basketball.

Whoop.

Tomorrow I'm not sure exactly what I'm going to do but def Brooklyn Bridge then getting a delicious dinner for the big Pittsburgh vs. Villanova game at 7pm, I clearly have no priorities.

Busier days

Today was pretty full....I got up and ready and ended up meeting Elissa and Kent for lunch which was delicious as per usual and we didn't even go to Red Bamboo! Shocker!

After that I came home and had a phone interview for a hotel in Martha's Vineyard...longest phone interview ever. And we'll see how that goes...it's got to wait until I find out about the Chelsea and Ann Arbor.

After that I met Elissa downtown and went shopping with her for a bit then had coffee with her and walked her to work and came back...it started raining like crazy so I've been just hanging out here.

Tomorrow I have big plans for SHAKE SHACK!!! And a few other things. Mailing a package things like that...we'll see.

I'm off to watch some basketball and go to bed. Sooooo tired.

I refuse to leave.

The end. I'm not leaving NYC. I refuse.

I am going to be one depressed little girl if I do not get a job at the Hotel Chelsea or at least in Ann Arbor. Lame.

Today was SUCH a good day. I got up and went to the Met and walked around there...I could've spend HOURS it was a damn fine museum. Lots of different stuff. Not as good as the V&A mind you but good still. Then I met Elissa and Kent for lunch and Red Bamboo...yeah like we didn't go there. I love their food! Amazing as always. Then we walked around for a bit and then we all went our separate ways...I came home and attempted a nap which did not happen and then went to the Knicks game!!!

I love basketball which is something that is just an open secret as of late. I had SO much fun. I went and the first quarter was amazing then the 2nd not so much...they were up by 20 and by the end (which was OVERTIME) they lost by five. LAME. I got a little bit drunker than I would like to admit but whatever I had fun.

The best part of the game, outside of the coaches, was when I was walking in...two dudes..

Dude #1 says "If I was a Knicks City dancer I'd strip during the day and dance for the Knicks at night."

What? HORRIBLE idea and something only a dude would come up with. Oy. Made me laugh though. And I managed to clear out a WHOLE row of people, yeah get away now thank you. It was great. Oh well.

But anyway I do not want to leave NYC at all. It's lame that I have to but I'm hoping and hoping and hoping you all will do whatever it is you do to hope with me that I get a job here and can stay. At first I have to admit I was a little blasé about staying here at first and wasn't sure if it was for me but really? I mean come on. It's New York City. Of course it's for me. Expensive and shopping and restaurants and sexy older men, YES SIGN ME UP!

I remember you well at the Chelsea Hotel...

So yeah about that blogging.

Didn't do it yesterday so sorry about that. Yesterday I had my interview at the Hotel Chelsea. I think it went well and I would definately love to work there, it would be a challenge but in a good way so no complaints! It was cool to at least have a valid excuse to go there and I got to see some rooms so that was good too.

After that it was freezing BUT I managed to obtain NO lines at the Shake Shack at Madison Square Park so I had to take advantage of this and I got a 'Shroom Burger and fries...ooooohmy. So delicious. Danny Meyer, you have out done yourself again. Well played.

After that I came home and ate my delicious food and then went out and about again, nothing too crazy went on. Actually ended up sitting in Madison Square Park again for awhile secretly egging people not to get into line at Shake Shack as if there was no line I was so going again, they did not get my subconsious willing though. Dang.

Came home and hung out.

Today got up and ready and went out and about just a few places and then back here. Going to possibly go out and about tonight depending on how I feel, I am exhausted but only one week left here in NYC. :(

Tomorrow I think I'm going to go to the Met and then downtown for some recommended food and then not sure. Thursday I have an interview at a hotel in Martha's Vineyard so I'm going to do that and then go to the Empire State Building at dusk and then not sure. Friday I'm going to head to Brooklyn Bridge area and explore and there is a valid excuse to head to Shake Shack as the custard flavor of the day is Cinammon Toast, yeah I'm there.

Anwyay just going ot hang out for a bit more then who knows.

The end of the weekend

I would say it's the end of the weekend but that really doesn't mean anything to me as I do not work.

Today I got up and watched Rock of Love, not as fun without Ashley and Farrah, what the French?

Then I went down to H&M to see what I couldn't find but decided on just wearing what I own as that is cheaper. I walked home from there, 51-92nd not too bad. After that went to the drugstore and got some amazingness...

Hairspray

Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate & Peanut Butter

Funyuns

Mt. Dew

People Magazine

Rice noodle bowl.

Best trip to the store ever? Possibly.

After that just came home and naturally got sucked into NCAA basketball. Now I look like death and am tired like whoa. So I'm really tired but it's okay because I get to sleep now.

Tomorrow is the interview then depending on the weather might go to the Empire State Building tomorrow night. Who knows.

It's almost less than a week here. Scandalous I know. I'm not happy about it but at least I've had fun here and got to pucker up with Russell Brand!

Saturday

Today was a pretty normal Saturday. I got up and went for a walk down to the East River and then to Starbucks for a sandwich and coffee. Then came back and watched some basketball. Thank you Villanova for being so awesome and winning by 20 points, if you could go ahead and keep that up my brackets would thank you.
After that this evening I went to Red Bamboo with Elissa and Kent. It was delicious as per usual. We walked around for a bit then they were going to watch Twilight so instead I came back here. Tomorrow I might go with them to Staten Island for brunch then back here to watch some more basketball and get ready for the interview on Monday!!!
I'm interviewing for the Housekeeping Supervisor position at the Hotel Chelsea!!! Woooo!!!
Anyway I'm off to bed but g'nite all!

HAHA!

I remembered today. I am on my way to bed and I was going through my web addresses and BAM there was the blog.
Today was far from exciting. I went out and went to Whole Foods. Told you. Not exciting.
Tomrorow should be about the same as the Villanova/UCLA game is on at 1pm. Yep I have March Madness, I cannot even stop checking my brackets. It's stupid.
Anyway. That's all but I remembered so ha!

So basically every night as I'm falling asleep I think dammit I did not blog. Sorry. I'm not that great at it.

Yesterday....let's see....I got up early and had a phone interview with a hotel in Ann Arbor then just hung out and went to another interview that was at a hotel but for a hospital? Anyway I went there and there was the registration table but no one there so I nosed around for a bit then went to the front desk, they didn't know anything so I left and went to the MoMA instead and got a few things and then walked around 5th for a bit doing some window shopping then came home and watched BASKETBALL GAMES!

I have to say I'm pretty impressed. My worst bracket right now is 14/16. Holla!!! Stupid Minnesota really jacked me up on all my brackets, I put faith in you and this is what you do to me? Unreal.

Also yesterday I got an email and now have a job interview for a housekeeping supervisor position at the Hotel Chelsea here in NY. If you don't know the Hotel Chelsea, google it. It's iconic.

Today I'm going to hang out for a bit as it's snowing? Lame. Then just going to Whole Foods as I have no food.

That's about it for fun today. I'm just terrified if I enter a store my willpower will (as it usually does) go out the window and BAM there I am with an armful of magazines I don't need or something like that. Plus tonight is MORE basketball, Louisville plays at 7pm!!!

So that's that for now. I'll try to blog more often or at least on the day of said blogging actitivies. We shall see how well that works though.

Yeah..

I'm really not great at this updating thing. Sorry. Just more on my mind than this I think. Just bummed about leaving but that's neither here nor there.

Yesterday...Hmmmm...I don't even remember what I did yesterday. Oh it was St. Patrick's Day. I went out earlish and went shopping which was a good idea as everyone was either at work, drinking, or drunk so no one was shopping. I bought something for Miss Jenna for her birthday and that was it. After that I tried to go a few other places but I was just done with the people so I went home instead. I did get a glimpse of the St. Patrick's Day parade, lots of drunks and Irish flags. Yippee. Then to top off that day I did laundry. Get excited.

Today I got up and went downtown to the Virgin Records at Union Square hoping they were in sale mode as well but they were not. So I went to Barnes & Noble then went from 14th on Broadway down to Little Italy. I was hoping to do lunch there but I already ate so oh well. So I went to the shoe store that use to be John Gotti's hangout. I wanted to go in but temptation told me not to. I knew if I went in then there was a HUGE possibility that I would be buying something that I didn't need to buy. Then I walked around down there for a bit then went back to Union Square and took the subway to 42nd Street....from there I walked around and went to Columbus Circle and did a little shopping, or rather window shopping. Then I went to the park as it was gorgeous outside and read for a bit and then came back here and have just been hanging out.

Tomorrow I have a phone interview and a face to face interview so that'll keep me busy and probably heading to the MoMA to get a few things for presents then just back here for the night...or at least that's the plan depending on the weather. Might try a movie? I don't know. We shall see.

Anyway just enjoying the last few days in NYC. Lame.

NYC

Also it should be known that sadly I had to purchase a ticket back to Michigan today. Two months here without a job has drained my savings...no regrets though. I have loved every minute here...outside of the outstanding phone bill.

Nothing has been better but it's just not working out right now which sucks a lot.

I will def miss you NYC. Frank was wrong..I can make it in London but not here. Wtf Frank, this is clearly why I'm a Dean Martin girl.

Don't ever change, don't ever worry

Because I'm coming back home tomorrow

To 14th Street where I won't hurry

Where I'll learn how to save not just borrow

And they'll be rainbows

And we will finally know

Why'd you have to break all my heart

Couldn't you have saved a little bit of it

Why'd you have to break all my heart

Couldn't you have saved a minor part

Rufus Wainwright

14th Street

So while it's on my mind I'm going to blog as I am making it a hobby not to.

Yesterday was actually close to being a Perfect Sunday. It's a proper noun. I got up and watched stupid Vh1 shows all morning. My girl got eliminated on Rock of Love. Lame. And then I met Elissa....we went on a adventure and then went to RED BAMBOO which is becoming the love of my life. We had some delicious soy protein then went out and about and took pictures of the Joey Ramone and Billie Joe dolls!

This is quite the tradition as some of you might know. Billie Joe is a somewhat recent addition to the family but Joey has traveled to Toronto, Niagara Falls, and London (where he was joined by his brother Billie Joe). Also Joey spent one day working at Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort as a reservationist. What a guy.

So we spent most of the time just in the village roaming around with the boys. It was fun and always a laugh.

After that just came home and hung out and wanted to go to bed early...yeah that didn't happen. I went to bed at, are you ready? 4:30am. Who even does that? Me apparently. I have to say I was not impressed at all.

Today I got up and tried to visit a bed and breakfast I interviewed at, of course I couldn't get in? Weird. Anyway I was tired as hell and did not have a very successful day. Two rejection letters from companies and one was one I was really interested in. Not a good time. So I spent the afternoon job hunting and am pretty much at my wits end.

Bonus, I got mail from Jalen Rose and I have a sleep aid running through me.

Word.

If you want to see the Billie Joe and Joey pics let me know. Also if someone has an idea of where Joey Ramone Place is, please let me know as I am here to tell you it is NOT at Bowery and E 2nd. It really isn't.

Crabby what?

Today I was beyond crabby so I didn't spent too much time outside of just watching tv and trying to not be a total bitch out in public.
I watched tv and then went into the city and went to Virgin Records at Times Square which was a mistake on a Saturday afternoon but it was fun anyway. They are going out of business so I got a good deal on some cds! Holla! After that I went for a walk and went to Bryant Park and walked around there and sat and talked for a bit to Lisa and then came home.
Nothing too exciting but am now watching the Louisville vs. Syracuse game. It's a pretty good game and I'm hoping there isn't six overtimes!
Tomorrow I'm going to lunch with Elissa and then you'll see tomorrow!
I'm off to finish the game and knit and then go to bed!

Yesterday

I'm not getting very far with this updating everyday business. I tend to forget. Oops.

Yesterday I got up and ready and went to the American History Museum. Turns out, I'm not that interested in history. It was a good museum and they had some pretty cool exhibits...however. I don't like rocks, minerals, or animals (sounds like I"m trying to play 20 questions) and that was a good bulk of the museum. The minerals were actually more interesting than the animals. I don't like looking at real animals let alone dead ones or replicas of animals. The only part I really liked was the Asian Peoples and the African Peoples because it was more about their cultures. It was pretty interesting. Although I have to say I am pretty freaking jealous of the salmon the indians in this pic above have...so jealous.

After that just walked through the park and got some groceries and spend the night hanging out. Today is about the same. I'm tired and Saturday is my least favorite day to go out and about as EVERYONE is out and about.

Tomorrow I might be going out and about with Elissa for brunch or lunch and then going on a secret mission which if we suceed you will see many pics tomorrow.

So that is all.

the end.

March Madness

GAME DAY!!! Today was a good day. I got up early...well sort of and got ready and made spaghetti for breakfast which was delicious and then went to get my ticket for basketball!

All afternoon...

It was fantastic. I'm okay with the fact that this might be a little weird for some of you but I love it. College basketball that is.

Anyway the first game was Louisville vs. Providence and of course we (Louisville) won. Duh, like we wouldn't! It was fun, I got a pretzel and a beer just sat and enjoyed the game. Loved it!

After that was Villanova and Marquette...I stayed until halftime for this one as they were a SLOW moving game and the people around me were getting SCHWASTED and being toolish so I couldn't handle it anymore without a third beer and if I did that it would've been bad news. So I left and came back here and have just been hanging out.

I did not go to the Russell show as I didn't get it and neither did the box office at the venue or Barnes and Noble which is just as well, I'm pretty excited to sleep.

Tomorrow I think I'll be going to the Natural History Museum and then not sure...Oh well of course I'll be watching the Louisville/Villanova game at 7pm!

Any suggestions of what else to do while here?

Sorry.

Also I forgot to tell the environment that I was sorry. I really laid the hairspray on thick today/mostly tonight. I apolgize, tonight's all on me.

I kissed...

So today was quite a busy day! I got up early, and it wasn't as brutal as Monday so that was nice. I got up and ready and went to a temp service and they were nice and didn't diss my fashion choices like the other one I went to so I was there for a bit, came back to the apartment and had a phone interview...then just ate and hung out then went to another interview for a B&B manager position here on the Upper East Side...Then came home and was totally crabby and done for the day.

However, it was not yet done.

I went to Barnes & Noble in Union Square to the Russell Brand book signing. Now for those of you not in the know, Russell is a British comedian that I have loved since I was in London. He's fabulously sexy. Anyway so his book came out here in the States yesterday, perhaps you might have seen him on a few morning shows/late night talk shows? Or in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Or Bedtime Stories, point is he's fab and I love him. Anyway so I went to the book signing around 5:45 and I'm glad I got there early there were TONS of people there. It was great though, he talked for a bit then everyone got to have their books signed and I got a ticket to his concert tomorrow night...I think anyway. It's a bookmark with a number on the back? I have to really firm up details but if it is a ticket I'm well excited!

BUT...

Here's the best part. Okay maybe my shirt was a bit low but I got up there and he said "Well aren't you a woman" and I said "Thank you?" and he signed my book and asked me for a kiss! Duh! Like I didn't! So I got to kiss Russell Brand! YAY! He was throwing out the kisses but the girls were mainly asking for them or he was just doing the cheek kiss so clearly mine was special as HE asked for it. Like I wouldn't have asked him for one if he wouldn't have asked me...right. YAY so exciting! It was the best night EVER.

So you should probably google him if you don't know who he is so you can see the lips that touched mine. Wasn't quite dancing over to Dave Foley and Dave kicking out his leg for the pic with me or my mother stalking Tom Jones, yeah she did it--ask for details if you really want to know long story short she ditched me for TJ.

Anyway I'm exhausted and have a big day tomorrow!

I have TWO college basketball games to go to...first is

Louisville vs. Providence (who cares about Providence? I mean really.)

and then

Villanova vs. Marquette

I'm personally looking forward to lots of carbs (nachos and pretzels) and beer all afternoon.

And then if this is a ticket to Russell's show, clearly I'm going!

YAY!

Best day ever? It could very well be...because I got to kiss Russell Brand.

Nyc

So today was okay. Nothing too exciting, I was ubertired as I didn't sleep again, but we might have covered this already...

After that just went out for a bit and went to Union Square. I went to the Lion Brand Studio Yarn Store...lost my mind! There were so many delicious yarns! I got some cashmere, with attached photo from the store....only $ 14 for 82 yards! I got the blue, two skeins. What should I make? But whatta deal right? I know I know. I also got my mom a birthday present, it was the suggestion of the clerk.

Then went to Union Square and watched people and talked to Lisa then went to Whole Foods and got TOFURKY and TOFURKY JERKY! Best day ever.

Then just came home and have been hanging out.

I have THREE interviews tomorrow. Crazy right? Then I'm coming back to nap and shower and then I'm going to Russell Brand's book signing which I am pretty excited about!

Thursday is game day so holla for lots of carbs!

So yesterday I completely flaked on writing a blog and by the time I remembered I had already shut off the computer so it was a done deal. Sorry if anyone was anxiously awaiting a post...I doubt that very much.

Yesterday I got up early which nearly killed me and went to an interview. It was more of a pre-screening type deal and then after just went back here, took a nap, bought new headphones and voila! You have my day.

Today I am extremely tired and crabby as I didn't fall asleep as early as I wanted to last night. I think I'm going to take a walk here in a few and go to Whole Foods. Might stop by Bleecker and Joey Ramone Place but I sort of feel like that is a wasted trip without the Joey doll. :( I need to enlist Elissa to take a trip around NYC with me and Joey and Billie Joe. I really would feel just slightly retarded walking aroudn with my knitted dolls taking pics.

Ha I just had a thought of me posting a craigslist ad for someone to help with the knitted doll crisis, like that won't bring out the crazies.

Anyway I am off to do something, what I do not know.

Look at how sad the kids are being stuck on the Upper East Side. :(

Ugh what the heck yo. I had a nice long blog typed out and then nothing. That sucks way much.

Long story short. Today was a good day with lots of delicious food.

Watched Rock of Love this morning, next week looks AMAZING.

Went to lunch with Elissa and her friend Sue at Red Bamboo which is sooo good. Lots of soy protein, loves it! And Elissa got a milkshake. It did not bring boys to the yard.

Then came home briefly to change and get directions then met up with Kayla from the island and we were originally going to this restaurant called Tea & Sympathy but it was too busy so we went to Little Italy instead. It was soooo good. I love the food there. I don't care what anyone says. Lots of men that want to flatter you into their restaurant and Dean Martin playing in the restaurant, yeah I'm there. And I got cannoli.

After that just came home and got a ticket to the Big East Tournament games for Thursday afternoon which I am very excited about. Beer, pretzels, and nachos. Holla.

Okay I'm totally tired and have to get up early for an interview.

A blurry pic of Grand Central for you.

Oh dear.

So I already gave the dl about today...but the real decision for today is...Do I spent the money to go to the Big East Tournament games? Yeah it's true I have March Madness...I'm getting excited. Thursday at 12pm would be the Louisville game. Any insights, it's not like I have anything else to do and I think I might enjoy that more than the Russell Brand show.

I NEED INPUT! Tickets will be bought tomorrow if I buy them!

65? what?

65-70 just seems a bit warm for March to me. Guess that makes me a true Michigan girl eh? It's blowing my mind how warm it is! It's good though, don't get me wrong!
Today, after another night of not sleeping much, I got up and ready and headed off...I walked through the Park and went to Lush...Oh Lush I love you. I got a few goodies then headed down Broadway and went and walked around and talked to Mira for a long time, which was excellent! I ended up a Rockefeller and just sat for awhile and chatted with her...then I went to Magnolia and got some delicious, or I'm assuming they will be delicious, cheesecakes. I got Key Lime and Caramel and Pecan...Oooo yeah.
After that talked with Lisa and headed back to the Upper East Side, got some food and have just been hanging out.
Tonight I was thinking about going out and about but that just sounds hard so I'm going to instead just hang out then watch the game then go to bed.
Holla.

Something to think about.

Just a quick vent.
Why do people always assume that what they like is what you like or want from life? I have never understood that.
Like just because you might want a relationship and to get married and have all that why on Earth would you assume that's what I want out of life? Someone said something very similar to that to me the other day and I was blown away. Really? They said having a relationship was better than the alternative of being alone for the rest of your life. Well, I'd say that's a matter of opinion beyond a doubt. I'd rather be alone and happy then in a needy or miserable relationship.
I don't know, just bothers me. Maybe because I'm open minded and let people make their own decisions and don't judge based on their beliefs...but you bet your ass I judge you on your fashion choices, hair, and shoes.
Just throwing that out there. Really?

"They assume that I want a boyfriend, and yeah, that I'd probably like to have a baby and get married - but they're wrong.”Amy Sedaris, how I LOVE HER!

Look what the cat dragged in.

Oh my. So today was overall pretty freaking lazy but whatever. Like I said, I don't have to impress/entertain you everyday I'm here. You try going out EVERY day and doing something new and fun, it's tiring. Trust me.
I did get up early though and got a call about an interview so I'm going to an interview on Monday morning. Holla.
After that I realized that if I did want to do this interview on Monday that I would have to do laundry beforehand so I decided to do laundry this morning. Wasn't too bad. Then just did some things around here, like applying for jobs and all that...then I got an impromptu call regarding setting up a phone interview for a hotel in Charleston so I will be doing that next week. Then I had an interview again after that! Whew!
After that I went for a walk and was STARVING so I came home and ate and just hung out and yeah I took a nap. Yay!
Then just ate dinner and all that and just went for a walk from here to 72nd so about 50 blocks in total. Since then have been hanging out and now clearly, I'm watching the E! True Hollywood Story of Bret Michaels...Ummmm duh like I wouldn't be.
Not sure what's going to do tomorrow. We'll see.
Off to watch Bret. It's going to be awesome, killer, and will turn Bret on.

RIP Snow Fairy

RIP Snow Fairy Shower gel, you will be sorely missed. You are sugary sweet and lovely. I will miss you dearly but Rub Rub Rub shall be a good replacement for you I think.

Fair thee well Snow Fairy...

Still pretty frustrated on what to do with being here and no job and the attempt to find a new job. I spent today searching and plan to do more tomorrow.. Yippee.
This will be a short post, I'm too tired.
Just looked for jobs this morning then this afternoon went wandering around. Bonus is that the Virgin MegaStores are closing here so 30% off. Holla.
And...that was about it for excitment.
Trying to think about what to wear to the Russell Brand signing, any suggestions?
Also, am thinking about going to a debate on Monday...it's Bill Maher *yay* and Ann Coulter *bitch* so might do that. Could be fun!
I'm going to bed. Way too tired.

Frustration.

I am so frustrated. I really really really want to just stay in New York but there are apparently no jobs here like the rest of the country so I haven't found anything. I'm starting to get a little worried about it as realistically, April is coming up soon.
Lame.
Just had to get that out there.
Today I got up early and got ready and I don't know why I had to share that with you everytime I blog. Anyway.
I went to Chinatown for a job interview today. I got there ridiculously early so I'm pretty sure the residents of Division Street to Allen Street think I'm stalking them, my apologies. It went well but the hotel isn't open yet. Great so we'll see how things go I guess. After that I wandered around but wandering around in the cold in a skirt isn't that much fun as it turns out. I went to Little Italy...thinking of going back there tomorrow for some cannoli. Yum.
After that I went to Whole Foods and forgot to get Tofurky, wtf. And I finally found where they keep the Tofurky Jerky. So basically that means I have to go back tomorrow. Dur.
After that just came home and applied for some jobs then at 6 I went to a knitting group which was fun. I was afraid they were going to make fun of me because I'm knitting plastic right now but they were all amazed so suck it! Then just came home.
Tomorrow is going to be applying for jobs, I seriously need some ideas of where else to look, anyone??? Ideas????? After that I might head back to Little Italy for the cannoli as previously mentioned and Union Square for Whole Foods..maybe a yarn shop. Who knows.

Ps No pic today as blogger is being a bitch about it. go to bed blogger and stop being like that. jerk.

Tuesday

Tuesday seems to be my down day for some reason. Today just got up and applied for jobs all day, I didn't feel fantastic. I blame the puddles from yesterday chilling me to the bone. Did go to the grocery store and got some stuff, was pretty stoked to get some COFFEE ice cream, one of the pleasures of life.

Just been job hunting since then. I'm getting super anxious about the job situation and am feeling rather unemployable. :( Not a fun feeling. I do have another job interview tomorrow but I don't think the money is going to be enough to support myself here. Bah.

So if anyone has any ideas for places to check for jobs, let me know because I'm getting desperate. I was applying on Mackinac Island today. yeah, it's reached a new low.

As Kids in the Hall say "The only thing worse than not having a job is looking for one. " ...Although they also say "If I can't keep Mr. Stevenson, I'm gonna hold my breath until I turn gay. "

Wheel...of....FORTUNE

Okay also I forgot to mention that I am a huge fan of the fact that Lisa and I can watch the Wheel at the same hour, but mine is SLIGHTLY ahead so it's just funny that I have to wait to blurt out answers.

Also, as some of you are not adhering to my rules, plllllllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease no more forwards. I'm so over them and they just make me sad when I see them. Lame.

GAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

So today was early.

I got up and ready and was all excited because it wasn't snowing even though we did get a few inches overnight last night...then at 8:45 right before I was going to leave wouldn't you know it but it started snowing. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh great. So anyway, here I am in my interview clothes and ballet flats navigating through the windy snow and ice to the subway. I'm impressed I didn't bite it and lived to tell the tale. Well done me.

First I went to the Upper West Side for an interview, it was for the Broadway Hotel & Hostel. It is basically a hostel so it's busy and crawling with Euro kids. It wouldn't be my ideal job but it would be something in the meantime anyway. We'll see. It's just front desk so it wouldn't really be enough to really survive on but, again we'll see.

Then after traveling AGAIN through the weather I came home for awhile and did some more job hunting and ate then went to 40th Street for this other "interview". Oy what a joke. It was really for a temp service so I ended up talking with this lady who was very over critical of the fact that I wasn't wearing winter boots? Wtf lady you don't know me biiiiiiiiitch. So I went in with a pretty bad attitude towards the situation anyway as she was a bitch on the phone too. Anyway I went there and obliged to a typing test, 78 words per minute, beat that. But whatever. So I did that and was going to treat myself to some Magnolia but was too tired of dealing with the snow so I just came home instead and am JUST starting to warm up again. Too much time out in the snow, wind, ice, and I pretty much managed to step in EVERY puddle from here to there and back. Figures. I should've been wearing winter boots. Because that looks professional with an interview outfit. Whatevs.

But tonight has been okay, just hung out and watched Tool Academy with Stuart. Those dudes are truly tools. Oy.

But good news is that one of the girls that I worked with on the island, Kayla is coming to NYC on Sunday! Holla! We're going out for tea and what not, I'm pretty excited. Two, this is the really exciting one...I'm sooooooooooooooo excited. Russell Brand is going to be signing books at the Union Square Barnes and Noble next WEEK!!! OMG I am so excited. If you don't know who Russell is, well he's pictured above but he's a British comedian. So excited!!! I'm thinking about getting tickets to his comedy show too, I wasn't going to but really? Am I going to really have another chance to see him? Probably not.

Might as well right?

Okay Im off to warm myself under blankets and sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

Best day ever?

So today was completely mindless but I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT.

I got up and ready early, as per usual and got Starbucks...wasn't the same without Cody but good all the same.

After that just came home and put on lounge clothes and did NOTHING all day. How fantastic? Very.

I watched some college ball, talked to Lisa, watched some more college ball, talked to Lisa, watched Rock of Love (the old ones, the new one is on in like 5 minutes!!!) and applied for some jobs.

Which is weird, I applied for some jobs on craigslist and I got two calls for interviews today! Weird? Weird. I'm going to one tomorrow for Broadway Hotel & Hostel and then Wednesday for a new hotel that is opening in Chinatown.

I am also going to an interview tomorrow with this lady from a temp service. I'm debating on calling it off though. She said I "wasn't qualified for the job and didn't know enough about Jersey City", yeah the job is in Jersey City but I "might as well come in anyway". I think Lisa might be close that she's a temp agent and has to bring in so many clients. We'll see. I also plan on calling Furnished Quarters to see if they made any decisions for the housekeeping supervisor position yet.

Oy.

Busy day, must tend to Rock of Love, Ohhhhh yeah a trashy but fab end to a boring but fab day!

Ps I just watched Rock of Love, OMG it is the best episode EVER!!!! BIIIIIIIIIITCH. Love you miss you mean it.

Pss Pics of two of my fave things today.
