Tangled Up In Blog

Odds and Ends

It seems like I have nothing to blog about this week even though it also seems like I've been really busy. A few things....

- a rat ran across my foot in the 34th street subway station on Monday morning. I understand that rats will always be in the subway but I expect them to be down on the tracks or at least near a garbage can, not running around on the station level where it is very well lit, in the middle of the morning commute

-Andy and I went to a surprise birthday party on Saturday night and we have another one this weekend...I've been to more surprise parties since I moved here than the rest of my life put together. Is this some sort of NYC thing or is this going on everywhere? what is up with all the surprise parties?!

-after the surprise dinner on Saturday night we went back to the friends apartment where his wife had decorated the whole apartment in a He-Man theme...it's obnoxious because this guy is so cool, he can make having a He-Man party seem cool

-I filled out my NCAA bracket yesterday but I couldn't muster much excitement for it..this is the first year since I can remember that I have watched basically no basketball for the entire season. I have seen 0 complete games and parts of maybe 5 games. I'll probably still watch a lot of tournament games but I just can't get into it this year. It has nothing to do with LSU not being in the tournament...maybe it's all the soccer I've been watching lately

-This really deserves it's own post but on Monday afternoon Andy bought me one of the best gifts ever....the MR. CLEAN MAGIC ERASER. You may be thinking Magic Eraser..is it really Magic? and I'm here to tell you...YES! The black marks all over your walls from shoe scuffs, etc...GONE! I spent two hours Monday night erasing all of the scuffs from the walls. Not only is the Magic Eraser effective, it also a joy to use. I'm considering intentionally scuffing the walls this weekend just so I can magically erase them later.
