Happy Friday!
So today has been the slowest day ever after a tumultuous week. Yes, still waiting. I think the waiting is giving me an ulcer. My "Save Ugly Betty" group was not the big hit I had hoped for. So you can imagine my pleasant surprise when I saw this! Oh happy day! My mother has been telling me about a friend from her high school who has a blog, Out & About in New York City that she reads religiously and absolutely adores. Daryl's photos are in the moment, and give a picture as to what's going on in NYC - and her surroundings. She seems to have a super large following (slightly jealous) and I especially admire the snow flakes floating through her pictures. Coolness. So there you go. The world of blogging and Facebook crossing generations. And coincidentally, I now live exactly 10 blocks from my mom's high school, The High School of Art and Design.
And in other news.. comment sentiment concludes that that woman was doing the walk of shame, is possibly not wearing anything underneath her trench coat, and reminds us of yet another reason why we all love New York City. Nothing like creating an entire story around a picture of a stranger.
Re-Post
I'm going through my blog to find material for my novel. I know.. I know. I'm trying to write the great American novel. Well. Maybe not. I once met a guy at a bar (in my youth) who told me that he was trying to write the "Great American Novel." I guess looking back, I can give him credit and realize that's a lofty goal.. but back then, I was horrified and thought it was a very poor attempt to get laid. Anyway, this is one of the many mildly entertaining posts I found.. convo between me and a good friend.

Bloggersation
REDACTED: sup woman
ME: do you read my blog?
REDACTED: Ive read it before. I mean its funny. Im not a real blog fan tho. Just seems the stuff I would REALLY want to know about people, wouldnt be on a blog
ME: hmm, like what? i'm pretty honest on my blog
REDACTED: I dunno. I can't explain it really. I just feel like in general they are just...meh not that you/other lie
ME: but not necessarily too personal, more about my political opinions, religious views. etc. i think it's a pretty accurate depiction of who i am, and goes deeper than if you were to know me casually
REDACTED: are you pitchin' me to read your blog?!?!
ME: i guess it depends on who it is, if someone i had a crush on or wanted to get to know had one, i'd read it, but i really do it for myself. some of it's funny.. and relevant to anyone. like the squirrels having sex, and blog of superbowl party
REDACTED: yeah, those pictures were funny, I'm not accusing your blog of being ass im just saying blogs in general suck, so I dont read blogs
ME: i guess i'm more inclined to read people's now that i write one
REDACTED: If I had a blog... "law school sucks" "got wasted" "law school sucks" "fucking red sox"
ME: you sound so well rounded
REDACTED: I might talk about like...really loud burps, but other than that, meh
ME: I guess you don't have much to say
REDACTED: Im empty. I can make an emo blog
ME: emo blog?
REDACTED: "life sucks" "no one likes me" "look at my died black hair and pierced nose"
like emo kids, u know
ME: I try to have a more positive view on life and perhaps be inspiring
REDACTED: thats so BORING though. no one like happy. SAD sells
ME: boo
REDACTED: like...actually I would prob be less likely to read some emo blog than a happy blog
but whatever. porn trumps all every minute I spend reading a blog is a minute undevoted to porn
ME: Truer words have never been spoken
REDACTED: I can of course have two windows open, blog on one
porn on the other, but, I could have porn on both there is no escaping it.
ME: nice

Funny Cat Video

There's something about funny cat videos that have me laughing uncontrollably and in tears like within 5 seconds of viewing it. Does anyone else have the same affliction?
