A Leg Grows in C Minor

Or maybe with my "aura". Either way, I am breaking things lately. There are just way too many coincidences. Consider the facts: It all started when Mike and I went to Vegas with Smike and Melinda. The day after we got back, my computer died a very weird death. I could sign into Windows, then the screen turned black with just a white mouse arrow and I couldn't do anything except move that arrow. Mike and I tried recovering it and it was no use, my little computer, as I knew it, was gone. So Mike reinstalled Windows for me. Now it works, but I'm afraid to download programs so I just go on the internet with it and have nothing on my desktop. I know, Macs are better, but it's a brand new computer!! Then, I was trying to watch a show on Mike's computer while mine was down, and somehow I temporarily broke his audio input box. He set everything up for me, and it was working fine, and as soon as I turned the volume up (carefully I may add), the box died. On...

I love you, readers. Actually I probably don't love some of you, because I don't know you! But I'm attempting to say that phrase more so I thought I would start here. Here is the deal. I had been working with wonderful people named Annie and Alfred, and we became friends. We really liked working together, and we did a kick ass job. And I got to learn a lot about South East Asian customs! (Annie = Bangladesh, Alfred = Pakistan) But our supervisor has temporarily shifted my schedule to the weekends, so I'll be working with other people. That's fine, I like working with those people also, but they're not my close buddies. The thing about the people down here is that they say what they mean and what they feel (most of them at least). Whenever we couldn't work together, Annie and Alfred would text me and tell me that they missed me and that they love working with me. This morning Annie said again to my face that she was gonna miss me. This is completely...

I know that I'm a tad late on this (as in about 4 years), but I just started watching The L Word , and it is awesome. I was wondering if I would actually get that hooked on a show with all women in it, but the characters are so great and the storylines are so interesting, that it's my new favorite show. (Besides Fawlty Towers , which I just saw and also loved...but that's much shorter.) I've also fallen in love with one of the characters. I've been talking about her nonstop since seeing this show, and I think she is even hotter than Angelina (who I used to have a girl crush on). Her character name is Shane, and her real name is Katherine Moennig. She is apparently cousins with Gwenyth Paltrow, but they look nothing alike. Mike has been a little bit worried since I've told him of my love for her, but he doesn't have to be worried. Maybe I could be with a woman for a short time, and I definitely find some of them very attractive, but they are missing a v...

I found the quote. It is a pretty quote, and I thought of it that day that my cat was so overwhelmed at the park that she couldn't move. "We do not expect people to be deeply moved by what is not unusual. That element of tragedy which lies in the very fact of frequency has not yet wrought itself into the coarse emotion of mankind: and perhaps our frames could hardly bear much of it. If we had a keen vision and feeling of all ordinary human life, it would be like hearing the grass grow and the squirrel's heart beat, and we should die of that roar which lies on the other side of silence." -George Eliot--Middlemarch

So Mike has been working as a waiter at the US Open in Queens for the past 5 days straight. He is working/commuting 14 hours a day, for 14 days straight. My poor fiance :( He does it because it's very good money. He wants to get some cash so he can focus more on acting and not making money. (since usually those two things don't go hand in hand) So while he's serving tennis players (yes I get the pun also) I have my time to myself. LOTS of time. I finished my latest book (if you are into fantasy books and you are not planning on reading George RR Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" series, you should be shot) and I'm about to finish my video game. I've even started watching Ben-Hur only because it's a classic. Believe me, that is the ONLY reason I'm watching it, because it's really not great. So the cat has been bored along with me. Not so bored that she hasn't driven me crazy by becoming obsessed with the kitchen sink: or stoppe...

So I've mentioned in here before, multiple times, that my favorite romantic film of all time is While You Were Sleeping . More modern "romantic" movies like The Notebook leave me cold. I think that The Notebook is a piece of shit, personally. But it may just be my notion of romanticism. I love it when two people fall in love slowly as friends and then try to hide it from each other. It's kinda weird I guess but it works for me. Anyway, While You Were Sleeping is that type of movie, and back in high school when I first saw it I fell in love with Bill Pullman. Most of you know him as the President in Independence Day , but I have always loved him for the above mentioned film. So I went to Rochester/Buffalo/Geneva last weekend to hang out with friends and family whom I've been missing. On Sunday I went back to the Rochester airport to go back home, to Brooklyn. I was wandering around the extremely small food area looking for food, and I see someone wanderin...

Well I try not to go this long without writing something in here, but apparently when you move to NYC your life moves extremely fast. And I don't even live in Manhattan! With the exception of this weekend, we've had visitors for the last 3 weekends, and then I've been working the other days. Work takes energy out of me for a couple days past when it ends, so it's a good thing I only do it 3 days a week. I loved having visitors, getting to do things I wouldn't normally do if there weren't other people around. When Angela and her boyfriend came up, we went to Century 21 and a good dessert place in Times Square (although subsequent visits to Times Square has made me hate the place) and I saw my first Broadway Show ever. When Joe came we went ALL around Manhattan which was cool, and I had my first Grimaldi's experience (voted best pizza in NYC about a thousand years in a row) and my first Ice Cream Factory experience (also voted best ice cream). When my mom a...
