An Idea Is Bulletproof

My last day in NYC.

( In which I do some random shopping, have a last lunch with friends, visit the Literary Museum, pack way too much into a suitcase and see Curtains before running for my bus. )

Sunday in NYC

( In which we spend the day at the BC/EFA Flea Market, I meet Bernadette Peters, and we go to The Color Purple )

Friday in NYC

( In which I see dinosaurs, unicorns and the stars, and spend an evening with Mary Poppins. )

I'm now back from NYC, back at work, back to real life. Of course I'm getting sick now lol. Both Ava and Julie were sick while I was there and I refused to get sick 'til I got home, ergo I'm getting a cold. I bought some Airborne while I was in the US though so I took a bit last night as I felt myself getting sick, hopefully it helps me get well fast and by Monday I should be shiny again :)

Anyways, I now bring you the first of my epic vacation posts:

( In which I travel to NYC, get a student ticket for A Chorus Line, get to see Ava and Julie and decide that Gossip Girl is going to be a crap show. )

Short update because I had to squee a little :) We met Claire Danes yesterday :) She was quite nice. Totally not used to the stage door thing and they REALLY need to get her a barracade ASAP but she was pulling through it alright :) I got my DVD of Shop Girl signed :) She also really holds her own in a fantastic cast of Bway actors. The girl has talent :)

Fleamarket today *yay*

Another busy weekend has flown by!

On Friday I bought my US money for my vacation. I'm wonderfully broke now but I'll appreciate being able to shop when I'm there :) Then I saw my parents off as they left for England for 2 weeks (lucky them!) and then went home to work on finishing up my tshirt screening designs.

Saturday I sent my ideas off to Mel so she could tell me how crazy I was trying to do the things I've chosen to do. Actually only one of them so far isn't working well so that's not bad... especially considering that I've somehow rotted my brain so much that I managed to screw up counting to 4 and designed 5 shirts. I honestly didn't even realize I'd done it until Tom and Jo pointed out I'd gone over the maximum. Oops. I may end up saving one to do next tshirt shindig lol. We'll see how timing goes.

Our internet also died completely again on Saturday and we've now FINALLY got a technician coming over next Friday (for free at least) to see what can be done. We did manage to get 2 of our computers back online, Jo and I are still out of luck :(

Saturday Tom also came by and brought Muppets DVDs so we could introduce Jo to the Muppets. We watched the episodes with Bernadette Peters and Julie Andrews! Fun!

Sunday I bought tshirts for the screening and found Xfiles figures from the movie, still in their original packaging, at Value Village. I restrained myself and just bought a Mulder and a Scully in their FBI suits I left Artic Gear Mulder and Scully and the alien ones behind. I also got a computer mouse since mine was having trouble tracking and it was getting really not fun trying to make icons and such with a mouse that didn't stay where you wanted it.

Today I have to fix one of my tshirt designs before Mel bans me from her house ;) and I need to start burning CDs for my bus trip which is so soon!!!!

She puts on a fantastic show!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sad this is just before I get there but she's playing here in October.

So other than the fun wedding last weekend this week has been great so far!

( NYC! )

and

( Evil Dead the Musical )

And lastly, the Serenity special edition DVD was released yesterday, I bought 2 (one as the other part of my brother's birthday present) the sales girl was a little concerened that I didn't realize I was getting the same thing twice... what kind of people don't realize that?! The sad thing is she has to ask because there must be a lot of cases where the person actually didn't realize they have the same movie/cd twice! Oh humanity makes me despair sometimes. At any rate the box looks shiny, I didn't even have a chance to open it yet, I may try to watch with the commentary on tonight :)

... My computer healed itself... again. I flicked on my external hard drive just to see what would happen and I hear the little noise that indicates a USB device is plugged in and suddenly I have all of my music again! I can't complain, I wish I knew what I did that fixed the problem, I tried everyone's solutions and nothing worked so I'd just given up and was waiting it out 'til I could get my brother to come over and see if he could fix it.

In other news I'm taking my roommate's cat on a play date tonight. I feel like such a yuppie. We have to see if he'll get along with the cat at my future roommate's place... I'm hoping he will or else we have to find someone else to take the cat really quickly.

Viv just got back from NYC, I'm jealous. I think I have to go for the BC/EFA fleamarket this year. I need a vacation :)

You Belong in New York

You're a girl on the go, and LA's laid back lifestyle isn't really your thing. You prefer a city that never sleeps, and people as ambitious as you are. Cultured and street smart, you can truly appreciate everything New York has to offer.

Anyone surprised really? ;)
