Overheard in the City
The past couple days have provided multiple opportunities to hear and witness some incredibly amusing conversations/exchanges. Here are a few of the highlights… Conversation #1 – Last night, my cousin and I went to Bryant Park for the HBO Bryant Park Summer Film Festival. (They were showing Bride of Frankenstein.) [...]
Continue reading...My First Week is Over
Whew! It has been a crazy week. Not crazy in a bad way, just kind of “head spinny” and overwhelming. Between the first week of classes, still trying to get settled into my cousin’s apartment (ordering an air mattress, shopping for a desk, figuring out where to buy groceries in [...]

I made it through the first day of all my classes! Yesterday, I had Acting with Suzanne Esper. She is amazing, completely vibrant and full of life! She has a very nurturing quality, but firm at the same time. She seems like she will give us all the room explore, [...]

So, the very first time I saw Crocs in the store, in all their splendor and variety of colors, I thought to myself, “What cute gardening shoes!” When I saw people actually wearing them out and about, I thought, “Wait a minute.” Now, I’m not one to judge. Live and [...]
Continue reading...The Beginning
Not really the absolute beginning…seeing as I have been around for a few years. (Not long enough to remember when Kennedy was shot, but long enough to remember actual music videos on MTV.) However, this is the beginning of my attempt to blog, not counting myspace. Life seems full of [...]
