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.

love love love

so i love my new job! it's great! right in times square. and we have roof access since we're on the top floor of the building. i work at a mastering studio, which is pretty sweet. so far everyone is really nice and i'm enjoying working in a small office again! more news to come soon....

gotta try it - dogmatic

one of my new fav nyc eateries: dogmatic.  it's in union square, and so far this is the only location.  so for all of your out of towners...you'll have to hit it up next time you're here.  

now at first glance it may sound absurd..."fancy street food".  well it's amazing.  they take mini baguette bread, toast it from the inside and wrap it around a tasty sausage (aka hot dog).  the flavors are simply tantilizing!  

sausages range from: lamb, chicken, pork, or asparagus (not really sausage but a vegetarian option)  the sauces are to die for, horseradish, spicey jalapeno cheddar, pesto and a minty one too.  the bread is toasty and crusty on the outside and chewy and delish on the inside.  

each "sandwich" is also served with a side.  i had the mini baked mac & cheese.  holy yum batman.  crusty baked cheese and yummy noodles.  simply perfect.

they also specialize in homemade "sodas".  i had a coconut one which was more like a dessert.  sweet coconut milk, a hint of spice and bubbly soda.  delectable!  my friend meredith had a raspberry one which was oh so refreshing.  

the ambiance is uber cute.  very modern, clean, minimalist.  my favorite thing was the large island family style table with chairs that slide out from underneath!  if you are in union square you have to try it!  you will not be disappointed!

went on a walk...ended up at a reunion

so i decided to go on a walk around my neighborhood...up broadway and around cathedral parkway, and mosey-ed through the columbia university campus.  turns out there was a columbia graduates class reunion..ha!  i may have stuck out like a sore thumb...but i tried to harness my "college kid" energy and seemed to fit in just fine...

i didn't really crash it, just walked by and of course took a picture on my phone :)

this is why i love living in new york, you never know what's just around the corner!

new new new

so within the last few weeks, i have moved to a new apt, in a new city, and will be starting a new job...life is crazy!  

in a couple weeks i will be starting a new job at sony music as an office assistant at a recording studio in times square.  i cannot be more excited!  this was a job i was interviewing for when i accepted my current (leasing office) job.  they took about a month to make a decision and just offered me this job about a week ago.

my new apt in manhattan is fabulous.  i'm loving my new digs and love being on the upper west side.  i've been able to discover some great new places around my neighborhood including: riverside park and the hudson beach cafe.  i laid out in the park and tanned on memorial day it was gorgeous.  i also found this gem of a cafe right on the parkway overlooking the hudson river.  the waiters are cute and the food is delish!

soon some friends will be coming out to visit me in the big city!  i cannot wait!  my place is steps away from the hampton's jitney bus stop...so naturally we want to hop on and check out the exclusive hamptons!!! :)  more blogging to come...

movin to manhattan!

i'm moving on up- to the west side!  i'm going to be moving into a shiny new apt. on wednesday!  it's in a great neighborhood about 3 blocks to central park, and one block to another.  so far i'm the first roommate to move in...it's a 4 BR apt share.  the owners live there, an older couple, and they are renting out the 3 other bedrooms.  it will be like living alone, since my room has its own key and is not directly off any common areas.  it's a modest sized room, but large enough for my queen sized bed, a built in wardrobe closet with overhead storage, full sized dresser with mirror (included), and a mini-fridge (included).  and i'm so excited to finally have a WINDOW!!!!  i found this place through a broker, and it's a steal.  all utilities are included, water, heat, gas, electric and wifi.  amazinnnng.  oh and the building...pretty posh.  whitestone, grand entryway with marble floors, elevator...front stoop.  i love!  i don't really have any pictures yet...so stay tuned! 

here are some pics:
