November 2011

This month has come and gone so fast!  The weather has been all over the place.  Some days it's extremely cold, windy or raining.  Other days, it's beautiful and I could wear shorts and a light sweater.  My Mom bought me a warm and long coat that I'll get a lot of use out of.  Thanks Mom!

My B.F.F. Jennifer and some of her friends came to NYC for her birthday.  It was so wonderful to see them.  Jennifer made NYC feel more like home.  Jennifer's hilarious friend Rhonda is like a NYC tour guide and helped us get $25 tickets to see some plays.  We saw Sister Act in the front row and it was amazing!  I've always enjoyed musicals, but this gave me a new appreciation.  The actors worked so hard and it was a riot.  We also got incredible seats for The Mountain starring Samuel Jackson and Angela Bassett.  Their performances were inspiring and I hope to be able to deliver like they did someday. 

A comedian friend from Vegas was in town and it was fun to hang out.  He performed in some shows and I made some contacts.  I'm going to get out and perform more stand up comedy during my Christmas break from my classes.  There is so much opportunity here and I need to take it.

Work has been so busy and I've decided that this past Black Friday was my last in retail!  No more retail craziness.  I'm continuing to learn a lot in my classes.  I have a bit of 'emotional blockage,' but I'm working on it.  I joined Costco because groceries are so expensive here.  I googled the location and was so excited to find that it was right next to a Target!  It's a trip, but worth it!

I've also decided to move by February 1st.  I want to find a studio by myself with cheaper rent.  I hope I find a clean place without any bugs.  I also want laundry in the building and for it to be close to the subways.  I know, I'm picky!!  I just saw a place today with lots of roach traps and dead bugs in the hallway.  Gross!  It was right across from Central Park, a block from the subway and a bus picks up right in front of the building.  It was in the basement and the trash was close by.  My Mom gave me a 'reality check' and told me to call her for more because that would have had more cons than pros!

I missed my family and friends on Thanksgiving, but I worked and had a nice time with my co workers.  We were really busy on Thanksgiving!  The city is so beautiful already with decorations for Christmas.  I will be posting lots of pictures.

If you like Supernatural movies and shows, check out Grimm and Once Upon a Time.  They're new TV shows and that's my style.  2 Broke Girls is also a hilarious TV show.  That's exactly the type of show I want to write for and act in.  It's my type of humor.  Only watch these shows if you want to get addicted and if you have good taste.

Have a great week!  xoxo


Lot's of rain!

 Saw this sticker on a wall.  This was our softball team's name.

 Daffy's store trying to channel Vegas.

 This made me laugh.  It was right outside my building when I left for work.  Looks like it belongs on the strip in Vegas.  First picture I've seen like this since I've been here.

A picture of my script that I accidently took.

One of the beautiful stores on 5th Avenue.  Just a few shops down from mine.

I took the subway to Costco and Target.  I was caught of guard that part of the trip was above ground.  This is a pic from the subway.

 Hollister has a live picture feed of CA beaches.

Radio City Music Hall Christmas Tree.

Not a great pic, but a lot of the walking signals display a hand and walking person at the same time!  It's a 50/50 shot to make the right choice.  It's a glitch in the system.

 My new coat.  Thanks Mom!

I dropped one of my vitamins on the ground in the subway.  No vitamin for me that day.

Part of the crowd I had to make my way through to get to work on Thanksgiving.  The crowd was watching the parade.  I saw part of the parade and was escorted with a small group of people to cross the street so I could get to work.  We crossed in the middle of the parade between a new car and a bunch of cheerleaders.

 Swarovski window across the street from work.  Corporate denied my request in Vegas to get mannequins for our window.  I had a dress shop willing to lend us gowns to display with our jewelry.  This looks great.
