why, oh why did someone think making another die hard movie was a good idea??but on another note, it's nice to know that a letter writing campaign to right injustice still works in this day and age. to learn more, go here Shirley hates the manway to go, my friendpower to the people!
journalists can get things so wrong!! a friend of mine was "accused" earlier this week by a student of hers in a tabloid here in town. he claimed that she harrased him and called him names. he also claimed that she said he was never going to pass her class because of his name. after reading this article i knew FOR SURE that this is something she would NEVER do!! why do people take a kid's word on a situation - true sometimes they can be right, but that's only 50%, giving them the benefit of the doubt. this kid claimed he was a good student, but somehow hardly showed up to class taught by my friend - interesting. obviously he would not be passed with having so many absents. maybe this kid is trying to hide something from his mom -shocker, i know!! maybe he's just a typical teen who doesn't want to own up to his shortcomings, or be responsible when it comes to doing your work. i just feel for my friend who's name has been dragged through the mud, when not only was she not named in any law suit, she never even heard of this kid's complaint before!!! accusations like this can ruin a good teacher's name. i hope this doesn't happen.tabloid journalism should stick to following the likes of hotel heiress and socialites around. and leave reporting real news to the experts.
there are a few things that have been on my mind lately.one - how much B.O can one person possibly emit before they realize it themselves? so far, in these warm summer nyc days, i would have to say A SHIT TON!! holy CRAP people in this town stink. and it's that lingering B.O (very seinfeld-esque) that just gets me. it is so nausiating it makes me want to vomit. how do these people walk around like that?? i mean, really! do you NOT know you stink?!? surely they must have lost their sense of smell in a war, or something.two - finding roommates...well, that was a concern, but i have successfully found myself 2 new roommates for my apartment and i am eagerly awaiting the move out of my current roommates. one has moved all her furniture out today - so that's a step in the right direction!!!three - a vacation for myself. and that has been solved. i'm headed to the upcoming hipster town of berlin, germany!!! headed out in september, so you can be asured there will be lots of pictures.four - where to buy a nice couch. i have my eye on a few, but somehow i feel that this is a big decision that i need to weigh over and over. i mean, i would be plunking down a nice chunk of change here. i don't want to get something i'll regret later. oy! where did you get your couch????five - my yanks look like they may be turning things around a bit. and i'll wait and see to believe if clemens is a bust. i don't think he's going to turn the team around - i mean he only works every 5 days - but if he can keep our pen from having to start working in the 4th inning, i'll take it!!
so what has been going on! well, i spent all last week being sick as a dog! it was horrible. cough, sneezes, stuffy head and clogged sinuses - oy!!!! and this week i started interview new potential roommates. i had one stop by tonight, and she was really nice. now if i can find someone for the other room, that would be awesome. i'm still looking, so if you know someone, send them my way!any big plans for the holiday weekend?? i don't have any either except for a bbq on sunday. but if you're near me, give a holla, let's do something.and as of this posting i can give a cheer for the yanks. let's hope they keep this up.
know what really stinks...having a cold when it's 80 degrees outside. you can't enjoy the weather, cuz your whole head is stuffed up, and you have a scratchy throat. but on the bright side, you get to take a sick day.
so it's been like forever since the last post, and i apologize. i've been busy. between work and getting my lazy butt to the gym a few times a week, i haven't been doing all that much. work is going great. i was hired at just the right time. we are expanding our dept, and one of the more senior members of the team moved over to our tech department, so i've moved right up the old production ladder. so that's awesome! and today i garnered my first official digital conversion - we get extra cash if we can convince a journalist to take our content via our digital delivery options rather than on tape. hopefully this is the beginning of some more.i'm still looking for a new roommate. next week i will start the public ads - so if you know of anyone who'd like to live in my place, tell them to get in touch with me! hopefully that will go well.and that's about it. NYC is enjoying a fantastic spring time. so that's great. though my hair is dreading the humidity that will soon show up.what have YOU been up to??
what is going on with my beloved yankees??i blame global warming
