Just another reason why the monthly unlimited MTA card should not increase to $103.

Ventura: “Kim, don’t put that on the blog.”

Sorry guys, that’s all you get from that conversation!

Today in the office: 10:30 am conversations about lunch. Today is apparently Fat Friday… AKA an excuse for the office to eat greasy, fatty New York Burgers. Thursdays = Taco Bell Thursdays…

How long until Martini Monday?

Apparently this is the Giga Pudding Dance…

Does anybody know what this “house” is, over on 63rd and 2nd Avenue? I didn’t see any signs for a business, and there’s a little greenhouse type building off to the left side… About 10 hours prior to seeing this little house, I was having a conversation about how weird it would be to have a normal, fenced in house with a yard in the middle of the city… So I’m wondering what exactly this is. Any ideas let me know!

50″ plasma tv + Xbox = highly productive day.

I have yet to try this app, but from what I read it sounds somewhat genius. I mean, sometimes you just need a clean bathroom that isn’t out of order, and doesn’t include a line of every Starbucks customer within a four block radius. So this app apparently tells you where the nearby restrooms are, and whether or not they are open; including ratings and features. This is all sponsored by Charmin, so I’m sure they have some agreements with the companies in the listing as to only stock Charmin toilet paper- perhaps? Genius though. I’m going to download it right now, even though I only use public restrooms as a very last resort kind of thing..

Waiting for the C train last night, I couldn’t help but notice the gummy bear stuck to the MTA map. I thought this was hilarious, not too sure why. While I was still giggling I walked over to the platform and saw another one stuck to the security monitor, about 9 feet high! I’m sure everyone in the station thought I was crazy, laughing and taking pictures of maps and tv screens at midnight.

There’s an old man that sits at the uptown A, C, B, D platform at Columbus Circle, with a portable cd player, and he has the most AMAZING voice! He was singing some blues last night, and he could amplify his voice throughout the entire station without a mic. He sounded great. If you’re ever in the area, stop for a listen.

Last night I went over to Terminal 5 to see the second of two performances by Bloc Party. All in all it was a pretty impressive show. They only had one opening band, Longwave from Brooklyn, and Bloc Party played for about an hour and a half. The place was sold out so needless to say it was packed. I can really tell I’m getting old though because after standing for 45 minutes I was ready to sit down. I miss my younger days when I would be front and center in the mosh pit at a Pantera concert, screaming until my voice was gone.

Oh & as a sidenote, they don’t permit Sharpie markers inside the venue, so leave them at home. I had about five markers in my purse (I had just bought a brand new pack!) and one of the security guards took them all away from me. After the show I hunted her down though and asked for them back, which she kindly agreed.

Ventura: “I have diarrhea all day every day.”
subtle office laughter.
Ventura: “Are you ‘overhearding’ my ‘I have diarrhea’?”
