New York, New York!

In exactly 1 week my friend Anna and I will be heading to NYC for 5 (much needed) days in the city! There are so many things to see and do and place to eat.. mmm NYC restaurants! I've been before, but the city is amazing and there's always loads more to see. 

So, I've got some destinations and tourist traps picked out and there's been lots of feedback from people about where to go in the city. I got a response back from a NYLON magazine writer about where to go see live bands(!), which should be amazing... I'm hoping to catch a local NYC band! I also wrote a guy I met last time I was in the city (he was working at the Paris Theatre-- hellllllo Sex and the City!) and he got back to me about a great reference magazine for places to go, see and eat! I'm so excited that they got back to me-- it's far more fun to hear where to go from the local New Yorkers! 

I've got: Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday--- NYC!  eek! Pretty exciting!

I've got a list of place to go and see and this is just the beginning.

Facebook

News broke today that Facebook owns your life. I'm not too sure why this is suddenly "news" as anything you send through e-mail is automatically the property of the e-mail provider and the same applies to facebook, but anyway, when you post images, notes, whatever, Facebook can do what they like with it. I guess that means that the awful ads at the side of the page: "What's you credit score", "I made $1 million dollars last month" etc could feature my face. Ok, that's a bit scary! Facebook is a great tool for communication and I can't help but love it. 

I'm sure you've read someone's "25 Things" notes which flew around facebook faster than... well, faster than something really fast. It's late. I'm tired. So I found a video on YouTube which I need to share:

watch. love.

I feel like I'm 15 again.

Rumor had it that Blink 182 were going to reunite tonight at the Grammy's. Not to perform, but to present, which pretty sweet. Well they came through, presented and announced that they would indeed be recording a new album! Album= Tour! 

So, my friend AB and I have discussed our undying love for Blink since the day we met 5 years ago. He has had the luxury of seeing them several times. I on the other hand, have not. I'm hoping this is going to be my opportunity!

If you hear when they are playing Toronto, do me a favour and let me know when! 

Oh, and Universe, if you read this, think you can hook us up with some backstage passes?

VISA must love me!

It's Saturday evening at 10:07pm and I have no money to spend at the bars this evening. It is entirely my fault as I saw a pair of the cutest Huntress boots in black that would be "perfect for walking to work" (this is what I told myself to justify the money). They now sit perfectly at my front door waiting for Monday morning at 7am, when I will rush out the door and jam my feet in to my new amazing boots. I am hoping they make my work outfit (scrubs) look a little cuter than they are; I have a feeling they may give the illusion of parachute pants, which were (questionably) cool 20 years ago and really should no longer be seen on anyone. Ever.

Hmm… I think I have a shopping problem. I find it not only fun, but it brings me all sorts of happiness both temporarily and long term. I rarely regret purchases (the exception being a $100 jacket I bought at a new store downtown that fell apart nearly instantly. ugh.) and I love everything hanging in my closet... There is nothing better than looking and feeling great!

These clothes are not for nothing (grammatically correct?). They are because I am searching for a real person job. I’m not entirely sure what happens in a real person job or how I am to go about obtaining such a position, but I do believe that a cute pencil skirt, great top and stellar shoes may help my cause!


So, in order to get said job, I am going to have to look work appropriate thus justifying my purchases of clothing, shoes and accessories. It makes sense to me!
