Five hours reduced to this.

Today Today Today...

I was pretty impressed with myself today as usually I manage to get up at 7am promptly or at 8am at the VERY latest, but low and behold I did get up at 7am then decided to lay back down and wouldn't you know it, I slept until 10am!

That was basically the most exciting part of my day!

After that I took my time getting ready and ate then went down to Union Square, wandered through the market and went into some shops and sat in the park until I froze and then decided to head back uptown. Went to Barnes & Noble and got a British House and Gardens magazine...then got some snacks and came home.

That all in all actually took close to five hours, but it's just not worth throwing in the details. I walked two blocks to here then back...blahblahblah.

Anyway I'm already ready for bed and will be heading there soon! Tomorrow it's suppose to snow so I think I'm going to just get up and go to Starbucks then stay home for the day and watch all the college basketball games! Get excited!!!

An open letter to Today.

Dear Today,

You were a lot more fun than yesterday. Well done! Our morning together was rather slow and boring as we took the precious time to apply for a much needed job on my end. You were right to suggest that we go out early in case it rained, you're so smart.

Going to the Museum of Modern Art was fun, don't you think? I agree that people were walking too slow and what's with people taking 800 pictures while you're at a museum? Whatever happened to just enjoying your time at the MUSEUM? I don't know, I thought it was crazy. We did see some fun things though! Waterlillies by Monet...some Picassos, lots of Pollocks...overall I'd say the MoMA was a heck of a lot better than the Guggenheim, but you wouldn't know that as you're Today and not last Sunday. My favorite part, besides the gift shop, was the Frida Kahlos. She even got a bad ass frame to go with her bad ass art. You go Frida!

The gift shops were, as expected, AMAZING. But I resisted buying anything. :( Sad times.

After that we traveled to H&M where we got an amazing deal on a cute shirt ($5!!) and an umbrella so next time if it does rain, Mother Nature won't hold me back! Take that!

Then it was home again, nothing too exciting has been going on but it's been a good day overall don't you think Today?

I'll miss you tomorrow.

Love,

Cassidy

Ps. I'm not cracking up just tired and wanted a new format...and Today was pretty awesome, thanks for being awesome Today!

Pss. The pictures are brought to you today by the internet, is there nothing that internet can't do?

I meant to mention this yesterday but I forgot until I opened my email today...stop forwarding shit! I mean really. I NEVER read forwards, EVER. If you really want me to know something, at least trick me and take the FW: off the subject line. I never read them, or forward them so just don't...or I'll have to send the John Gotti poster after you.

It's nearly the weekend?

I don't know about you guys but today was terribly boring. I did not sleep at all last night, thank you Equate Sleep Aids, and was pretty grumpy today.

I got up and watched Stuart on tv...yeah he's a celebrity. It's a long story but basically he was speed dating the other night and some chick is doing a 90 day love thing for a tv show and she picked him as her number one so he went on the tv show she's working with and did an interview.

So I watched that and got ready and then was like hmmmm what do to today? I wanted to go to a museum but was too groggy to really go and fully appreciate it so instead I just wandered around for a bit in the hood and came back. Totally thrilling I know. I can't entertain you guys everyday okay??

I did apply for some jobs today and we'll see how that goes.

Tomorrow I am going to the MoMA and then not sure. Apparently also on my list of things to do tomorrow would be buying an umbrella as I know I had one and now it's disappeared. What will really grind my gears is that I know I'll find it as soon as I buy another. Just how it always happens you know?

Oh well.

Anyway I'm off to bed, I'm over today and just done.

Note: Picture above is brought to you by yesterday. Thank you yesterday for being entertaining unlike today.

Freedom certainly ain't free yo.

So today was not my best day ever. Let's just preface this whole blog with a few facts:
I hate water.
I hate ferries.
I get motion sickness.
I have anxiety like you would not believe.
Keep these things in mind while you are reading the proceeding account.
So I got up early and got ready to go to Ellis Island/Statue of Liberty as the Weather Channel told me "winds were light and variable". So okay, I figured it would be safe day to attempt the ferry rides over to the islands.
So I got up and ready and headed downtown, which was nice because I did figure out that the 4 & 5 express trains near my apartment ran right down to Battery Park...but not so nice because it was rush hour time so it was hella busy on the subway. At least of my friends on the subway got off at 42nd or Wall Street. Suckas.
Anyway so I got to the ticket booth and did the security blah blah blah and went to the ferry. Here's the worst part of my day. The ferry was against some tires or something to prevent it from bumping against the dock too much but it was windy. And the ferry seats weren't facing front but to the sides if that makes sense. That was pretty much the end. I HATE being on ferries, thank you so much Mackinac Island for scaring me for life. Anyway so I was sitting there thinking about how I didn't want to get sick and managed to get myself SO stressed out that I actually cried. Yeah, I'm pretty awesome at blowing everything out of proportion. Yay! So FINALLY the ferry left so I just dealt with it. We got to Liberty Island and I calmed myself down...oy.
So Liberty Island was cool but there isn't much there, well clearly the Statue of Liberty. I didn't pay for the extra junk but I took some pictures and then went to the gift shop, totally lame. Well unless you wanted a Statue of Liberty ranging in height from three to like 30 inches. Wasn't something I was in the market for so I left. Peace out Lady Liberty. She is very photogenic though. Whatta gal.
The ferry ride to Ellis Island wasn't as bad so that was good. Ellis Island was infinitely more interesting/cooler than Liberty Island. They have a museum and part of it is set up like the immigrants would've went through...medical exams, etc. I thought that was the coolest part of the whole place. Word. So I went through that and tried to make the gift shop cool but again, no market for me and a Statue of Liberty statue.
After that I was ready to get back to Manhattan, it may be an island but it's still accessible by a bridge. Thank goodness!
So I got on the subway and came home, went to the grocery store and just ate lunch and after all the stress and Dramamine I've been pretty much dead to the world.
I think the rest of the night has a sleeping pill in order and finishing flipping in between the Knicks game and the Bulls game ...okay at that point my mom called and then I totally forgot I was blogging. Ooops, I got way distracted by tortilla chips and updating Lisa on my NBA info for the night. Dur.
Anyway I'm pretty much done blogging so I'm off to watch some basketball then bedtime for sure.
Still not really sure what the plan for tomorrow is..maybe a museum, maybe Little Italy...we shall see.
I'm open to suggestions!

TLC takes up too much of my time.

Today was a fun day overall. I was originally attemping to go to the MOMA, Museum of Modern Art and was planning on spending the afternoon there then who knows...well that was fine and dandy until I realized at like 11:30am that it's not open on Tuesdays. Ugh.

So my backup plan was to go to the History Museum which was a good plan until I realized that I wouldn't get there until 1/1:30 and there are four floors and my ticket includes the Space Show so I just didn't feel like rushing. So instead I walked from my house across Central Park stopping here and there to view things...like Cleopatra's Needle...Now Cleo and I have a beef on going because I wanted to see the needle in London and it took me literally about three months to find it and that was purely on accident when my mom was visiting...and wouldn't you know today just randomly walking I happened upon the one in Central Park, it's super close to my house too. Oh Cleo. Oh well. So I saw that and a few other things, I took some pictures but I'm too lazy to try to retrieve them today so you'll have to wait until tomorrow.

After that I did get to see Strawberry Fields, nothing to write home about or blog about.

After that I walked down the park to 6th Avenue/Avenue of the Americas and walked from there to 46th Street. 46th wasn't coincendental...I walked there and down in between 2nd and 3rd to see Spark's Steakhouse. I know I know you're already like what the hell does a vegetarian want with a steakhouse? Well first off, they have fish. But that's not why I wanted to go. It's the restaurant that Paul Castellano was killed at. John Gotti hired a hit on Paul so he could be head of the Gambino crime family and Paul was killed right outside that restaurant! Yay for being a mafia geek! It was cool though and I still want to eat there before too long.

After that I walked back up Lex and then 2nd home. Just hung out for the rest of the day. I'm pretty exhausted now. Walking lots is tiring! So I've been watching lots of TLC. Dang. These Toddler and Tiara people are mental.

I think tomorrow is going to be the Ellis Island/Statue of Liberty tour as the wind is suppose to be minimal which is a good thing for me.

Also today my mom asked if I've lost any weight from all the walking...I'm not sure because this week has been full of Easter candy. I ate the whole bag of peanut butter cups, ugh I want more!! I also have gotten Stuart addicted to Cadbury Mini Eggs, I'm an enabler like that.

Anyway I'm off to sleep. I'll post tomorrow with more pics.

G'nite!

Creeper

I totally was just a creeper but...they asked for it. The people across the street had their lights on and curtains open. You're just asking for it! I love when people do that though, it's my fave being nosy!
And I'm pretty sure the people across the street have a pool table.
