Joy

Someone is playing Christmas music on the streets down the block, and we can hear it in our office all day long! JOY TO THE WORLD!

I'm going to the Christmas Tree Lighting tonight in Rockefeller Center with the roomies and Andy!! Ahhhhhhhk I didn't think it was possible to love NY any more!!

On a side note...if you're a blog reader, post your own thoughts on blogs...the great thing about the internet is that it's interactive... :)

aaaaaaand it's cold.

Just incase you're looking for a heads up - life doesn't change much after college. Maybe I should rephrase that...people don't change much after college. Even if you skip across a few states to - say, a place like New York City...people (though drastically different from Southerners in a multitude of ways), are inherently the same. I watch what people do. People whine about their jobs to coworkers, they get "cliquey", and they say "how was your weekend?" - knowing good and well that the response will be something along the lines of "fine, and yours?". Amusing...

I've gotten really into the show, Gossip Girl lately. It's basically the Manhattan version of the "OC" - except they're Ivy-League-bound, keeping-up-appearances, Upper-East-Siders. Reaaaaally quite good.

FASHION UPDATE: I found this brilliant site that creates the #1 staple for living in the city. TIGHTS! http://www.welovecolors.com/ I've already ordered 2 pairs...(solid lavendar and some really crazy splash color ones - YAY!) So fun. The black sea of the New York masses could use some color.

It has taken me almost 3 years to find the video I've posted below. One of my professors showed this advertisement (Feed the Children - by the Ad Council) in one of my classes and for some reason, it really stuck with me. I just found it today and hope you can appreciate the (dare I say) artistic and heart-wrenching qualities it has, that you might not consider when watching "just another commercial".

Auf Weidersehn!!

212

Sometimes I have to remind myself why I am in NYC. Sometimes when I'm showing my beloved Infiniti QX4 to a potential buyer (because I don't need it anymore)...or when I'm scouring craigslist for a SECOND job (beacuse I refuse to give up the lifestyle I maintain)...or when I'm walking a combined 20 minutes a day to and from the subway to work, head buried down, running nose deep in my Burberry (because it's so incredibly frigid and it gets even colder when the wind blows off the water that my high rise towers over) - Sometimes.I.just.have.to.ask.myself. And then it hits me...

That's the roofdeck at my new apartment. 15 minutes from my office in Midtown Manhattan. It makes me so happy. I live with Gabor, (he's Hungarian, and works in finance) Claudia, (she's Colombian and from PA) and Natalia is a Latvian model who sleeps on our couch. Well - we just found out she's leaving us at the end of the month. I will miss her. Gabor, Natalia and I went to see Saw IV yesterday - awful. I'm not even sure who decided on that one.

I can't even think of a witty way to end this one...
