Hodgepodge

So I have had several random thoughts running through my head this week but none of them are really substantial enough for a full blog so hopefully once I put them all together it will create some sort of blog like substance.

First Thought- New York City is an excellent diet plan. Both Ryan and I have lost most of our extra Mexican food weight. All my pants including my new jeans are too big for me but I figure once I start needing to put on those wonderful long underware contraptions I will need the extra space. I suppose all the walking and the not eating out and the no snacking and the living economically is really paying off.

Second Thought- The Daily Show is even cooler in person. He is very intelligent and that comes across even more in person. Watching them put the show together was really interesting. We were seated right behind the writers who watch the show and it was cool to see how everything works. Besides the waiting in line for HOURS just to get in- I highly recommend it. We are now trying for Colbert tickets but think we may have to wait until after the holidays and election to get in. We went Wednesday night if you want to watch, full length episodes are on the website.

Third Thought- New York is supposed to be a fashion capital. Oftentimes I see very stylishly dressed people walking down the street or sitting in cafes. However there are some fashions that are popular here that I do not understand. New Yorkers wear black and brown together all the time. I am personally against this. I will match my belt and shoes and clothing to either be in the black color family or brown color family but I can't do both. Same vein- Tights are not pants. I know leggings are in, but some girls seem to think that regular tights or hose work in the same way that pants do. I see tons of girls walking around looking like they forgot their mini-skirt. Today I saw a girl wearing tan hose with grey splotches on them and a regular length top. From far away she looked like she had on no pants and had big bruises on her legs. Every guy she walked by stopped and stared and so did most of the women. I can't believe that she paid money for that outfit. (I don't have any pictures of this because it would be rude.)

Fourth Thought- I got a haircut! His name is Tres Jordan and he is really good at his work. He made time for me to come in to his Chelsea Studio at the last minute which was great but I will have to wait for the color because he didn't have time. Not only did I get a great haircut for a good "by NYC standards" price but I also got to see the police take someone down AND I found a Boston Market. All in all a great day.

Time to think about catching the A Train to 42nd street for rehearsal. Woohoo- Friday night!

Onward and Upward.
