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!!!

Hi Friends:)

So I know it's been a very long time! How is everyone doing?

A lot has happened in the last 4 months, yet at the same time nothing has really happend...

Here are some of the highlights:

I just got new headshots! :) thank you mom! here's the retuched version of the smile pic:

Cute right? What do you think? I have a seriouse shot too but the guy did a little too much retouching so i'm going to have him cut it back a little bit and then i'll post it!

An Entertaining Start!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

I hope that everyone's Year started amazingly! Jonny and I spent it with his family at a very fancy hotel... It was so much fun! The night ended with Jonny, myself, his brother Chris and his friends dancing to Madonna in some bar in DuPont Circle... I mean could it get any better than that?

I can't lie to you, I'm a little sad... Jonny left for tour today, he's going to be gone for 4 months! They drove to, some wear... he's told me like 45 times and I still can't remember! We dropped him off at the Kennedy Center this morning... Once we said goodbye, his dad took me to the bus so that I could come back to New York... Of course I have a story for you!

So I say goodbye to Jonny's Dad, everythings great, we're on time, there a couple people there so I send him off and go stand in line... As I'm standing there I realize that I'm about to get onto a bus for 4 hours and the Chipotle that I had for lunch yesterday was... well you get the picture. I run into this Potery Barn like store that was right behind me to relieve myself. Wait I need to go back a bit.

For Christmas I got Jonny / myself a record player. I found some vintage records of Madonna in St. Louis, had to get them, then had to get the player to play them on ... clearly! So anyway it turned out that Jonny's parents had two boxes of old vintage records that they told us we could have free rain on ... our best find was "LIZA WITH A Z!!!" My heart completely stopped when I saw it! (you're probably thinking what the $%#$ is that? It's Liza Minnelli's 1972 CBS special! It will change your life go watch it! they play it on Show Time all the time!) We found like a good 25-30 records that we liked! And they're heavy!!!

So I have 3 really heavy bags... my clothes and like 2 bags of records... I have this girl, wearing pink sweatpants, watch my stuff for me... ok now we're caught up. When I'm done I'm exiting the store when this homeless guy comes running up to me, he Say's "Hey man I'm spose to come and get you, the bus is leaving with out you! The girl left your stuff" I was like "WHAT!!!!" Just records and very expensive clothes left unattained on the streets of Washington DC... I start running!

When I get outside everything was still there - THANK THE LORD!!! Then this lady comes up to me and say's "Hey don't you know the bus Pick up was moved! they did it like a long time ago... you should know this!" Well this being my first time riding with this bus how was I suppose to know?! Out of the corner of my eye I see pink sweat pants girl turn the corner, so I just start to fallow her.

I'm sure I looked like Quasimodo trying to lug all this stuff down the street... the homeless guy starts to fallow me, he says "Hey man since I came and got you and made sure that your stuff was ok do you think you could give me some change or something, so that I can get a warm coffee? It's cold man!!!" I'm like, you've got to be kidding me do I look like I have a hand free to give you money right now? NO! So finally I see the very long line 3 blocks away, once I get there I give the guy 2 bux so that he'll get off my back.

I relax a bit. Pink pants girl and I start talking while waiting for bus to show up... it was late, of course! All that rushing for nothing! Apparently she's a drama major at NYU but loves musical theater and was really sorry for leaving my bags!

The bus finally show up... I go to get on, and the guy tells me I don't have the right conformation number... He says I need to get a hold of MegaBus and have them text it too me so that he can let me on. I call 411 - nothing! This person on the street looks up the website on her cellphone and can't find the number on line. I said to him "Dude the money has been withdrawn from my account! You got to admit this is a little ridiculous!" He was like hold on let me see how many people are suppose to be on the bus. He's gone for like 4 seconds then comes back and says "Whatever just get on"

So crises averted! The bus ride was very long but I made it home! It wouldn't be right if there wasn't a little bit of drama! And it wouldn't have been that bad if I hadn't of had Chipotle for lunch yesterday... hahaha

Well I love you all! Talk to you later:)
