I had an internship interview on thursday last week. I think it went a little worse than it could have gone, but not totally horrible. He told me that my interests in psychology are a lot different than the other people that usually want internships, so it might be difficult for me to be in the seminar that I have to be in. In the seminar I have to tell the people what I'm doing at my internship and listen to them say what they are doing. Most people want to work with kids or schools or something, but I want to work with the more physical side of psychology. I like neurology and behavioral psychology, so I told him I wanted to work in the U of R Sleep Research Lab. He seemed kind of put out that I want to do something different but he said he'd still help me, so hopefully it'll happen.

I am currently at Joe Perry's household in Geneva, New York. Last night was the start of my spring break (but you can also say it started on thursday night b/c I skipped my one friday class.) So last night I went to Naz and then Angie drove us down to Ithaca to see Joe.

We didn't do too much last night, we just sat around and had a few drinks and played computer games. We went to The Commons for dinner and since it was friday and I'm trying to practice the no meat thing, I had some white pizza and just cheese pizza. I had some cotton candy ice cream for dessert...mmmmm. I made Joe and Angie listen to "Feels Like Home" by Chantal Kreviezuk 3875 times because I'm in love with that song. I almost cry every time I hear it, and yet I want to hear it all the time.

Anyway, today we got up and around pretty late (Joe and Angie stayed up talking about state capitals all night while I fell alseep in the midst of it. I think I was like "Olympia...." then boom, I was out.) So today we went to The Commons again (I could live at that place) and just shopped around a little and ate lunch. Then we drove back to Geneva and went to The Outlet Mall for only like 10 minutes. Now I'm waiting for Joe to get out of the shower, and Angie is already on her way back to Naz, where we will be tonight.

Tonight there's gonna be some heavy drinking and some funny dancing, so I'm excited. This week I'm going to the mall with my mom to FINALLY do some clothes shopping, since I haven't bought one new piece of clothing since before Christmas. I want to get my hair cut too, so all that will be on the agenda for this week. I'm glad I get a week to kind of unwind and do nothing, it'll be good.

The Deal with Kevin Spacey: Part 2

Image
I figure I better finish this captivating cliff hanger before 2013, so I'm writing this just under the wire. Starting from the end of the previous blog entry, here we go: A little over a year ago now, my best friend Angie posted a link to my Facebook page of a trailer for Kevin Spacey in  Richard III . The thing is, this was not a movie, it was a stage play. And the even better thing is, he was performing at BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music). Mike and I had already moved away from Brooklyn at that time, but I had gone to BAM before, and it happened to be a quick walk from our old neighborhood. That got me thinking that it would not be difficult to get there. I looked on the BAM website, and saw that tickets were affordable. Also, Bank of America members (which, regrettably, I am) got early access to tickets. I believe the tickets went on sale in early November 2011. I called BAM the minute the box office opened that day, and ordered 2 tickets for Mike and I to attend in February

Celebrities May Be Smaller Than They Appear

Image
If there's one thing I learned since moving to NYC, it's that celebrities are tiny people. Usually both thin and short. When I met most of the cast of Ugly Betty , that was what I noticed first. I met Amanda, Mark, Hilda, and saw Betty (I don't know their real names, I don't even watch the show actually) and they looked like the littlest people alive. America Ferrera (I lied, I know her name) must be like 5'0. Last week I went to a broadway show called "Spring Awakening" that starred Hunter Parrish (Silas on Weeds ). On stage he looked thin but tall. Once we spoke to him afterwards he was shorter than me (I was leaning back in the pic) and definitely thinner than me. The day after meeting Hunter, I found "no parking" temporary signs on my street. These signs are posted all over the place when a filming is going on. I looked at what was filming, and lucky me, it was Flight of the Conchords , season 2! I've mentioned here before that

Reflections

Well once again, I'm getting a post in just under the wire. It's been about 8 months since I last posted, and that makes Simon 11 months old right now. I looked back at my last post, and many of the "bad" things have changed. We can go to restaurants now, and we can even bring Simon if it is appropriate! I don't have to run around like crazy trying to get things done, because Simon will sit and play by himself for awhile if I need to do something. Likewise, I can take my time eating again. After about the 4-5 month mark, things got progressively easier. He learned to hold and play with objects, then to sit up, then to crawl, and now he stands (holding on to things). This makes him more and more independent. He has 8 teeth now, and eats most of what we eat, but in tiny pieces. He can wave, and clap, and say little words like mama, dada, baba, hey, and yay. He is tall for his age, but slim. He looks like Mike from the front and me from the side. He hugs and danc
