Day 361/365 (August 14, 2009)

ok so the bulk of my day began after i uploaded a bunch of my pictures to facebook. I headed to the first apple store (14th st) and picked up my computer that thankfully didnt lose any data, then i began walking hardcore! i was looking for a particular place and despite having my phone that started to not cooperate just for this the should have been 10 minute walk took close to an hour and by the end i no longer cared about why i was trying to get there and i just wanted to find it!

after i realized i had lots of time to kill and it would make no sense to go home because by the time i got there i would just have to turn back around basically to get to the theater i was going to. so instead i walked to find where i was going later since i am so directionally challenged but it turns out it didnt help.  then i headed up to the second apple store (59th and 5th) and picked up the headphones. then i chatted with jordan on the phone for a while to plan for her arrival here soon and boy oh boy i was so very hot in my jeans at this point. 

i took the subway back to where the theater was and when i got off of it even though i had been there not long before i couldnt find where i was going without major help (yay phone finally kicking in to work) but until then i was once again reminded of my theory that i should figure out what my gut instinct is and then go in the opposite direction because 98% of the time my gut instinct is wrong!

i was unnerved to see how many people were already waiting in line for Vote! The Musical when i got there which was pretty early in general though late for me, but very excited and pleased to find jennifer and jo ann in line so that meant i didnt have to see the show by myself and we were able to talk and catch up :D

we also spotted joe (whom i met in the n2n rush line back in june) rushing down the street and i texted him to see if it was him and he came back and i went back outside at the point to say hi and see how he was. 

my thoughts on Vote! The musical:

i had gone to see it for two reasons (i had seen some of the songs performed when i went to vote or die a while back and i thought they were just fabulous and catchy, and landon (and morgan k.) were in it. the people in it were all really good for the most part but unfortunately there were some really bad sound issues like the mics just not working or my favorite the loud and lengthy JKLDK noise that lasted enough in the beginning to not be able to hear quite a bit of the song that was going on.i really liked most of the songs and they were quite catchy and there were a few things from the book that i liked. one in particular but sadly i couldnt remember it by the end of the show (why does my memory not retain things so easily). i laughed a bit with a few snorts and it was nice to see landon on stage again! bailey hanks was perfectly spunky and morgan k. was delightful in his crazy presidential aspiration way! i thought the person who played the other candidate and the teacher were quite fab. i do have some criticisms of the show but i enjoyed myself quite a bit and knew that it was a Fringe Festival show going in so that gave it some wiggle room in the place it was at. so congrats!

on my way home i stopped in path mark to buy some groceries and well every line was practically half way up every aisle! well it would seem the people in the express line with me were very angry shoppers! i understand it sucks that the lines are always like that and you want to bond over your unhappiness while waiting in line to pass the time but you shouldnt take it out on management with anger. you need to do it in a more constructive way! anywho i came home and was very happy to put my PJs on and get the internet i pay for to actually work for a change.

i am also annoyed by the child outside who is growling like a crazy person nonstop!

this picture is from the 59th and 5th apple store while emerging up the elevator and i need an idea for what my last picture will be and that is wicked soon!!!! and the other is from the inside of the "playbill"

Day 359/365 (August 12, 2009)

my day began by meeting sasha at the apple store and having her phone "looked at" so she could get new headphones for me since mine broke. i just have to go pick up the headphones today (so behind in writing so friday) now they have come in. then pip, her, and i walked to find a post office and then she went off to her voice lesson and i headed down to crumbs for a job interview. i got there wicked early of course but that is ok. the interview was really fabulous actually and well i love crumbs and after it was over i got to have a cupcake! hello raspberry swirl my favorite: how i have missed you soooooo much!

then i went back and met up with sasha and we hung and watched tv and stuff until i left to go help out kate (katlyn) with hair lotto. while there i ran into lots of people again, i helped pass out pencils to people signing up, and i ran into AnneMarie and Jean who i have not seen in a while. so we chatted and caught up a bit and i told them i would save them a seat for broadway in bryant park the next day. sadly we lost and then i went back to sasha's. when marty got home we begun the process of moving the furniture around in the living room and all that jazz. it looks completely different and its kind of fabulous! anywho then i left and swung by NWS for a bit because i wanted to finally check out jam sessions and was surprised at how hopping it was and i ran into Jo there... rather creepily if i do so myself :D

when i got home i found a swimming pool of dog pee on my floor courtesy of tucker i was so beyond mad and krysta cleaned it up though i feel like it isnt compltely clean still but that could be because he keeps peeing on my floor anywho it took a long time to clean up and i ended up going to be REALLY late.

Day 358/365 (August 11, 2009)

i dont remember the first parts of the day but i know i went to apple to drop off my computer for them to fix it. it was supposed to be a quick drop but instead it was a i had to wait twenty minutes to drop it off drop. Then i headed over to Hair Lotto to help Morgan K. with it since he tweeted asking for help. Sadly we all lost for him and everyone else i knew there that i randomly bumped into. After sasha and i got some subway for dinner and went back to her place.

we watched tv and hung out and eventually marty came home and we continued doing the same, i think this was the night we watched the emperor's new groove or i should say they watched it since i was busy applying to jobs. but the parts i paid attention to were quite funny!

then i headed over to The Irish Rogue for Shoshana's birthday party and i was a little worried at first since i knew the only person i was going to know there was actually Shoshana and contrary to what people might think i am actually quite shy and not always up to breaking the ice to make nice nice with new people and become their friends. well i was proud of myself because i forced myself to become a chatty person and had a most fabulous night and the shirley temples at place were laced with so much grenadine it made my taste buds happy! it was hot inside because the AC wasnt really working but that didnt stop us from having fun and taking about a bazillion pictures, true stalkerazzi! eventually we left and spent 40 + minutes just talking on the corner of 42nd and 7th ave until we finally went home. i had forgotten to take a picture until about 11:40 that night and it was so dark in there which isnt good for my iphone camera so this was the best i could do with the use of using a candle for light which was our second candle since i breathed on the first one to blow it out and we had to use all the napkins to hold the candle because it was very hot!

Day 355/365 (August 8, 2009)

looking at my blog trying to work up motivation to write about today with my sad headphones

i went to bed so late and had to get up so early for my apple genius appointment. i basically got a little over three hours sleep and i was NOT a happy person. i made my way to the apple store on 14th street. just before i got there the right ear bud of my headphones decided to stop working which would have been fine if my phone was under a warranty but alas it is not so no replacement of headphones would happen for me and i will now have to suffer :(

anywho i really thought there was nothing wrong with my computer but it turns out they have to fix the back light and replace something on the mother board! so i have a couple of days to organize everything and back it up before the parts come in and i have to drop it off for them to fix it. The apple guy loved me though and it paid to be nice to him because even though my headphones werent under warranty he tried looking around to see if there was a pair he could just give away. sadly there was not so that was a fail but at least he tried :D

i came home and ended up beginning to watch a lot of tv and krysta eventually left and i instead of getting my act together to go work on my computer i ended up falling asleep and getting a nap that helped me but i will regret since it is almost midnight as i type this and i am not tired.

anyway i finally woke up because krysta had come home and discovered that Pip had Peed on her clothes and ironing board (should have closed her door before she left like i have been trying to do but i guess not everyone gets the point). so i worked on cleaning that all up by washing everything by hand so the pee wont settle in until it gets put through a washing machine. eventually she ended up making cookies and i ate a bunch of those.

i am really hoping i get some sleep before i head out for my plans tomorrow... and tomorrow begins the 10 day countdown to my final 365!

Day 139/365 (January 4, 2009)

I was torn between 4 photos i took during the day. There were ones from the final Hairspray lotto and ones from Starbucks. Even though Broadway died a little with 10 shows closing i felt like this was the best picture.

After i lost Hairspray and Wicked i headed to Apple for my appointment and after being told to restore my phone (scared to do) i took my newly exchanged headphones (real reson for visit... success!) and walked from 14th and 9th Ave to 50th and 8th Ave, while walking up and down random aves on the way to waste time. I finally ended up not in my Starbucks (since every seat was occupied, the nerve!) but in the one close by actually on 8th Ave. There i sat people watching and when i took a phot of my view, i noticed how interesting my bag looked with the headphones on the table, so i took one of just that. i really enjoyed all the competing colors and patterns of everything.

Afterwards i met up with Mark, Lynette, and Michelle (not MacDonald) in my Starbucks and we just chatted for a really long time, then MArk and I headed to Chipotle followed by Coldstone (i tried for Pinkberry) and walking around.... oh yea i saw the marquee for Guys and Dolls but couldn't bring myself to take a picture of it. Then we headed to sasha's for a potty break, and got into some mischief... but it turned out to be a great day!
