a curious case of a flying wallet....

about a month ago i was leaving work and reached into my bag, to find, NO WALLET. it had been there when i got my venti iced coffee in the morning. where did it go? was it taken while i was crammed against everyone on the train that morning? did someone find it under my desk and steal it? doubtful. what the heck?

what an inconvenience. cancel all my cards, borrow cash, get a new ID...blah. plus i just bought this wallet, and it's freakin cute. ugh.


FIVE WEEKS LATER....

after work i get a call from my co-worker...he's wondering how i got on the train...i don't understand. he says my wallet is at work! but i have my wallet i say. no no no, my wallet from FIVE WEEKS AGO has now suddenly been returned. WHAT!?! apparently, a bartender from downstairs our work was out smoking and said he got hit in the head by this lady's wallet. so he saw my work ID and called upstairs. of course the first thing he said was "there was no money in it"...Mmmm Hmmmm well i had around $30 or $40...oh well. the perplexing thing is where the hell has it been for the last five weeks. did it really hit some guy in the head? how did it get somewhere to fall in the first place? hmmm so many questions. atleast its back.

if only wallets could talk.

new york stories

so i know i need to blog more, i'm constantly getting harassed to write more about my new york life...however i never think anything is that cool to write about. but i guess i probably do have some random tidbits of random interest.

last week i had the pleasure of running with the big dogs and social elites...not my normal crowd by a long shot. (see previous birthday post and pics). however i'm glad i got a chance to expand my social circle while also avoiding any talk of ivy league schools, the stock market or the status of my trust fund. (i don't have one, duh). but it was an experience. i felt a bit out of place like an ice cube in a desert...sweating of course due to the sudden climate change and humidity here. but all in all what a fun time. i've now become FB friends with all my new socialites and have made it on to invite lists for other parties, benefits and donations to causes. i guess that's what "big dogs" do.

let's see what else. i've found a new great brunch spot. blockheads on amsterdam between 105 and 106th. $10.95 brunch including all you can drink mimosas and champagne. delightful. the food was pretty good, and i recommmend the mimosas over the champagne as the brut is cheap. it's all you can drink what do you expect.

i'm loving living in the big city...as it seems there is always something going on. on my walk home from work today i saw a tent set up on the street and a film crew. of course i snapped a shameless picture. i have no idea what they are filming. most likely it's some columbia student shooting his senior project. oh well seemed glamourous.

hmm what other points of interest. oh of course, i went to coney island for the first time on friday. upon stepping off the train i was unnundated with the smell of hotdogs, saltwater and garbage. delicious. i was going to meet my old ASU friends at Keyspan Stadium. helen and katy and i were all in the same "activities club" in college. some may call this by another name. referring to siblings and family...anyway, helen's dad was a fire chief in brooklyn, now retired and we went to see the famous FDNY NYPD rivarly baseball game. such a crowd of good looking guys with their families...awwww and for an added treat after the game, there was a fireworks show. coney island does it up big. i can't wait to go back again and walk the boardwalk and lay on the beach, and not swim. i've been warned against the water.

this is all for now. and hopefully you've made it to the bottom of this page without dying of boredom. i will try to keep updating more news soon....

a very new york birthday...

so my friend, britten, invited me to celebrate her birthday this week! it was a fabulous time, and here are some pictures!

we ate dinner at her parent's house on 5th avenue, then caravaned cabs to the hudson terrace rooftop (46th and 11th). such a great spot! you gotta check it out!

never again.

soooo note to self: DO NOT get on the train after 1am, ESPECIALLY if your b.a.c. is above .10. not safe. also, do not take pictures while riding the train at 2:ooam, wasted. they're really not as fun as you think.

oh that chelsea...

so i have recently re-discovered the comedy of chelsea handler. omg. i've been reading quotes from her blog on e! and cannot get over how freaking hilarious she is. i'm going to be investing in her book, "are you there vodka, it's me chelsea" as soon as payday comes and as soon as i can venture to a target. no barnes & noble for this girl. why should i spend too much money on a BOOK...i don't read.



some of my fav quotes: Askmen.com says Chicago is the best city for men to live in. Loads of beef, beer and chubby girls, who could ask for anything more? I guess the best place for women to live is Alaska. According to Men in Trees, Northern Exposure and Bristol Palin’s sex life, it’s a great place to meet men. The weather is cold, so you can hide your Taco Bell weight with layers, and there are lots of moose there, who are known to be sensitive lovers.

John Mayer is rumored to be dating a waitress. That’s an insult to Jennifer Aniston. You can’t go from Aniston to a waitress. If my lover ever decides to move on, he’s only got two options: suicide or Oprah."

"Jon and Kate released a statement that they will no longer be releasing statements about their marriage troubles. Go ahead. I can speculate about your lives all I want. I don't need you to tell me what's going on behind the scenes of Jon & Kate Plus 8. At the end of the day, I know what I need to know. Kate's still got a sh---y haircut and Jon's still Asian." - - Chelsea Handler

A head’s up to anyone who missed the recent announcement on the show. We are officially referring to the Spencer-Pratt nightmares as Herpe Simplex 1 (Spencer) and Herpe Simplex 2 (Heidi), because they just won’t go away. If anybody wants to discuss them with me, I will only listen when they are referred to in this manner.

Paula Abdul has everybody talking since she said that she’s “not sure” she is returning to American Idol next season. Calm down, people, this isn’t as big of a deal as you’re making it out to be. She probably just doesn’t remember. I don’t even think she’s sure that she was on it last season.
In a recent interview, Jessica Biel complained that she can’t get good movie roles because she is too beautiful. I encountered similar obstacles along my path, and I would like to say to Jessica: Keep your head high and your standards low, and one day maybe you, too, can end up on the E Network.
