New York, New York

I just came back from a wonderful trip to NYC! It was one of those great trips that take a week to recuperate from. My friend and I went for another friends 25th. We had a daily itinerary that we pretty much stuck too - food, Broadway, food, shopping, food, Empire State (took more than an hour to go up for 15 minutes!), food, the Underground, food....you get my drift...

I ate like food was going out of style! To top it off there was this wonderful restaurant/lounge in Brooklyn called "the sugarcane". (sigh) I need a moment of silence.

The food there was unexplainable through writing. It's a Trinidadian cuisine with callaloo to die for! I'm not a huge callaloo person. Used to hate it - the consistency, color, etc.... But I've since come to appreciate it. Let me tell you - ordering that side dish was the BEST decision I made. Needless to say, we went back twice over the weekend!

We saw a play called The Drowsy Chaperone, which was completely hilarious and shallow, and which my friends took a nap in....one was actually snoring for a bit....but it was okay, I could barely keep my eyes open - we partied hard the night before!

Hmmmm.....what else...? Did I mention eating? After the play we were supposed to meet up with some friends for dinner, but we had an hour and we were hungry - so we went to Junior's (known for its delicious cheesecakes) and had appetizers...then we went to eat....lol....

Anyway, to sum it all up - I had a GREAT time...now back to reality....

Off With Her ------!

So maybe, I'm completely shallow, vapid and lacking the creative outlook needed to appreciate this work of art. Perhaps I have metamorphed into a lazy viewer who only is pleased with a specific chain of events. Whatever the case - Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette was an utter waste of my money, and most importantly my time!

You know when you go into a movie with high expectations, and then end up being completely disappointed? Well, the disappointment quickly turns into annoyance and in some cases anger. Call me unrefined or immature. Frankly, I could care less. What I do care about is that I could of used those two hours of my life to finish cleaning my room!

Two hours of my life that I can never get back. Ever. So, if by chance you like I was, am anxious to see this movie. Take my advice and be prepared. It's long - quite ornate and glam - slow - and seems to be taking you somewhere until it abrubtly ends and leaves you wondering what just happened.

Honestly, I should of known that Jason Schwartzman or whatever his name is and Molly Shannon wouldn't appear in a movie that could be taken seriously. But that's the thing - it's not funny. At all. Plus, we got there early and people were still sitting in their seats watching the credits. Now I know that they were waiting for the last scene.....

(sigh) Okay. I'm done ranting....just thought you should know....

Needed: Maid

Alright. So, this isn't exactly rocket science, but I need serious help.

I cannot bring myself to clean my room! Don't laugh - I'm in dire need of counseling or something....it's almost been 3 months since it's really been clean. 3 MONTHS!!! And don't get the idea that I like it that way - cuz I don't. I hate it. However, I can't seem to work up the energy to do anything about it....3 months people....3!

By the way, the picture is NOT mine - actually mine is worse and lacking the wonderful teddy bear collection found here. They say that one's room is a manifestation of what's going on in one's life. I have no idea who "they" are - but I am clearly having issues.

Snow over Denver

I know it's been a while - I've been on a hiatus of sorts I guess....all types of things going on...but I'm back :OP.

Well, today marks the official day of winter or snowfall anyway, in Denver. But not surprisingly, it's not that bad outside. Nothing compared to New York, Chicago or Michigan! I can't wait for it to stop though - I don't actually enjoy driving in snow - but I am excited about snowboarding!!

Anyway, gotta go, but will continue with updates later...
