Press...

Hey Y'all so I've been MIA because I didn't have my computer --- now that's it's back, I'm back in the game!!!

Now All of this Press stuff - phone interviews, radio interviews, TV interviews (live / prerecorded) are all new to me!!! This is the first time that I've been playing a significant part... I mean let's be honest no one wants to hear from the Basketball Hoop!!!

Anyway a couple weeks ago I did my first Phone interview ... it was for a newspaper in Scranton:

She didn't fully quote me correctly on some things ... but ... there you go:)

Today Rylyn, Ryan, Ashley and I did a TV interview at the theatre. It was prerecorded so luckily we didn't have to be at the studio at 5:30am - Thank the lord!!! It was so weird I was totally fine!!! Ashley and I were sitting in the lobby waiting, laughing, not really preparing anything. When we got in the room the lady from ABC talked to us a little bit, still fine, laughing. The camera started rolling she said "one - two - three" By 3 my mouth was completely dry and my mind completely blank!!! I was like WAIT "What's my name?" Stupid!!!! I don't know why I got so nervous??? I think my lips were quivering cause I didn't know weather to smile or not... Just Foolish!!! Ashley said that she had no idea that I was so nervous and seemed normal... It airs tomorrow so we'll have to see for ourselves!!! If it was shot in HD I'm screwed!!!

If I don't look a total fool I'll post it...

Yale

Today was our day off ... This morning a few of us went to go get some much needed coffee and being that we're in the middle of the Yale Campus we ended up going for a little walk... It's quite Gorges:

The campus actually really reminds me of Hogwarts - you know - the school that Harry Potter goes to (hahahaha i'm such a geek!!!)

Right!!! Well the First picture doesn't really do the likeness justice!!! When you are walking the streets you notice it more... Shortly after the walk began it ended due to the fact that there was absolutely nothing to do... google wasn't really giving us any good answers with things to do so we went back to the Hotel and then went to see:

It was SO INTENSE!!!! Surprisingly everyone was REALLY good!!! Even Miss, Lively she definitely upped the antie!!! :) After the movie I came back to the hotel to enjoy a sensibly quiet evening of relaxation before tomorrows 12 hour day!!! (Oh Lordy)

Love you all - talk to you soon:)

Bathroom Etiquette!!!

Dear Everyone who has once, is currently in, or one day will use the bathrooms at Pearl Studios,

Apparently we need to have a quick little class on bathroom etiquette! Here's a list of dont's to concider before entering the phisilities:

DO NOT:

-- Throw toilet paper all over restroom!

-- Throw more toilet paper in an already clogged toilet!

-- Poop /pee in an already cloged toilet!

-- Last time I checked a urinal is not a garbage can, so things like: paper towels, news paper, gum, babies should not be found here!

-- Snot rocket in the sink, it should be used for clensing your hands only!

Things of the hair grooming nature (I.E. Shaving, Hair Trimming, Wieve Mantence) should be done at home - if you must do it at The P.S. please clean up after yourself!

When you are in the bathroom and you watch an employee flush all the toilets -- flush yours when you are done!!! It's just common sense!!!

These are not all new things! We are required to check it every hour (it clearly is the favorite part of my job) and It would make my life a lot easier if you treated it like your own bathroom at home.

Texas Pride!!!

This morning I was in line at the Starbucks NEEDING a sensible bakon egg and cheese sandwich and old fasion donut... not wanting to deal with the very long line of degenerates in front of me! Well this guy is like 4 people ahead -- tall and very loud, he had quite the voice box on him - everyone could here his convo with the casheir.

Well I could only here was he was saying... Aperently he's from Texas and it's colder down there than it is in NY and they had 12 inches of snow the other day... he said and I quote "it's a world record" in my head I was like - really??? a world record??? maybe you've set a record for texas - but I can assure you that there is A LOT of other places in the world that have gotten 12 inches of snow in one day!

They exchange money and then he says to her ... your not ready for this!!! He says "Thanks A-Latte" and then - yes there's more!!! and then he says "Have a Grande-Day"

I died!!!

I just couldn't handle it! I wasn't shy about it eather! This was my face:

Is this normal? Am I overreacting?

Spills and Tumbles

Hello my darlings:)

Very funny story for you~

So one of my bestest friends ever - Nick - came to NY for the weekend. We were on our way to a friends going away party at a gay bar and needed some pizza before we went...

After a very akwerd confrontation with a straight drunk man at the pizza place, we were off to the party. We were walking down Time Square - Nick with pizza in hand - and me with phone in hand walking and texting at the same time -- something I always do!!!

Well we came across a huge pot hole in the middle of the street. Clearly we both noticed / jumped over it and went on no big deal! Well because I went back to texting I didn't see the little tini aftershock of the mother hole and totally biffed it!!! Like hard core!!! Like scidded on the dirty wet pavement rite in the middle of the road in the middle of Times Square with lots of tourist's waching!!!

What was going thru my head was: "Oh #@$&!!! didn't see that one!!! . . . Oh my god I'm still falling -- I can't catch myself" By this time my head was below my center of gravity and there was no saving it, I was going down!!! Then I hit the ground phone went flying I was like "Yep! That happend i'm lying on the grownd in the middle of time square and People are watching" Meanwhile Nick is just standing there dying with laughter pizza oil running down his arm!!!

It was terrible!!!

Moral of the day is freinds don't let freinds walk while texting!!!
