Long time, no post!

This post is dedicated to my mum, who seems to be currently blog-obsessed :) I've been busy getting settled in at the Agency- going to keep the work deets at the absolute minimum. Too many horror stories about bosses finding blogs...you guys know how it goes. I will say that my internship is very fun- maybe even better than last year- and that yesterday I rejected something about a girl dying from Crohn's. Wrong person to be reading your letter, buddy!! Better luck next time. Or your dreams are crushed forever. Mwa ha ha.

There's so much stuff to write about! I'm going to write about a few tonight and some tomorrow...

First of all, how sweet is this guy playing accordion outside of the Smiling Pizza? Awesome. Only in New York....And yes, Mom, I gave him some money afterwards.

The frozen custard flavors at the Shake Shack in Mad Sq Pk look pretty good. I had Salted Caramel on Monday and it was truly delish. They have a different flavor for every day of the week for a month, and then it all changes. Tuesday's is Raspberry Jalapeno! I can't decide if that sounds good or bad.

Today when I was walking back from Loehmann's (=fancier Marshalls/The Maxx) ... I mean, eating lunch :) there was a woman on the sidewalk, maybe 60, with her feet all twisted and blood dripping from her mouth. There were about 8 people gathered around her so I kept going...but it was very odd. At first I thought you had fallen, but would she have blood on her face? Now I'm thinking she was mugged. Again...only in New York. But a darker side, cause she wasn't outside a smiling pizza and didn't have an accordion.

The other day, on my way to work, two women (strangers) were walking dogs. The dogs started playing together and the women started discussing dog floss. DOG FLOSS. Most HUMANS I know don't use floss. *no names- you know who you are, blog reader!!* That is nuts.

I had the most delish 1.50 coffee from the foreign-owned little deli across the street. I think they put crack in their coffee there. Seriously.

Wes and I just made a COMPLETE MEAL. It was nuts. We made linguine with sausage, peppers, and arugula and ginger snap peas with ginger. And garlic bread. It was SO GOOD. We're basically really proud.

Yesterday we met up with 3 of my friends from Italian class. It's so odd- out of a 7 person class, 4 of us are in New York. Kinda odd...we got delish dumplings at Rickshaw in Chelsea (between work and dinner, I played my favorite NYC game- "how far can I walk before I reach an H&M?" Yesterday's answer- 6 streets. And I bought something, of course.) Then we got gelato in the West Village. It was so legit, it was great! AND guess what? Everyone who worked in the gelateria spoke ITALIAN! And so did all of us (minus Wes, but he was a good sport). It was a huge pleasant surprise. Now I know where I can go to practice this summer. And everyone who came in spoke Italian. The dude who served us was even from Rome. That's awesome.

Tonight- VMars, of course. Color us both obsessed.
