Almost a year

Who else is surprised...this blog has been in existence for almost a year and i feel like an update about school is necessary. This is why i'm here in the biiiiig apple anyways!

1) still in school, didn't drop out and join the big apple circus...although how fun would it be! After a one month break during the summer we are all back at it.

2)Am still loving NYC, but the realities of living in this city are setting in and the reality of the ending of my time in NYC is creeping in. Let's not think of it yet!!! I'm not, that's forshizzle!

3)Am FINALLY in a hospital interning in Child Life. I'm at Morgan Stanley-Columbia Presbyterian Children's Hospital of New York, it's a mouthful, but up there as one of the best pediatric hospitals! I'm in GREAT hands for learning. Currently i'm there one day a week and in January i'll be there five days a week.

4)Was rereading one of my posts from the very beginning, said something like, this year is not hard yet, but i'm told it's just a break before year two. Um yeah, sooooooo true! Here is how i spend my days, reading, writing, reading, researching and ummmm READING! Good news is the stuff is brilliant and will be sooooo useful. Without trying to be too detailed, I'm taking a play therapy class and an art therapy class. Lots of art practicing and pretty soon we'll be playing with kiddos!

5)I am still a nanny to E and N (who just turned 1 ie: i've been with them for over a year!!!). I only see them once a week because school is just too nutso, but i care so much for those little monky's it's hard to not see them every day. E is as silly and fun as always and N is a big walker and dancer. Oh man can those kids dance, my type of people!!

anyhoo big couple of weeks coming up and i'm waaaay late on writing about some of my summer adventures such as Coxton lake for labor day. Maybe i'll get to them, kinda like i get to old photos who need to get into albums ie: never!

Happy fall
ps: no fall leaves yet, still too freakin' warm. Promise to keep you updated though!

advertisements gone nuts

This is a terrible picture, but i can't seem to find this anywhere clearer unless i take it myself and i'm not brave enough to ask someone on the subway to move so i can take the picture.

Story:
Riding on the subway the other day i see this poster. I read it casually and then all of a sudden i'm like, wtf? what is this an ad. for?

Update:

So i wrote this post ages ago not sure if i'd post it, but i soon found out what it's for...although this is still debatable. Kanye has a vodka i guess...if you drink his vodka you become him. Oh woop dee doo let's all be crazy, high strung Kanye.
check out the commercial. I'm not sure if this is good advertising or terrible advertising. how the heck do you know it's for vodka unless you actually bother to look it all up

Beware of what you ask for

So my old roommate and friend Jack came for a visit last week for approx. 32 hours on his way to Halifax. I'm not sure what it is about a blog, but he was begging me to have a post about him. I told him i only write about things that could be interesting or in times that i had a lot of fun...he had to really impress me. Anyways, the boy sure did try hard.

Begins with a fab morning walking down 5th and Mad. ave, birthday lunch at the Gordon Ramsey Restaurant (including his mild peanut reaction and fight with the manager), delicious dinner/wine and conversation, wrapping it up with rooftop drinks at the Empire Hotel and finally to secure his post on my blog, pizza at my fav. pizza spot Koronet.

Now why does pizza at Koronet secure his spot? because in classic Jack style after warning him the pizza is hot, having him balance a piece much longer than a dinner plate, and greasier and wetter than ummmm, well really greasy, he takes one bit and promptly drops it on the cement right outside the door. Realizing it is very delicious and he will miss out, he turns right around and buys another one. I laughed so hard i almost peed my pants (no joke!)

ohhhh jack, be careful what you ask for...you may not get your expected posting.


pizza on the ground
