It's Raining BOREDOM

Hello, Hanna.

...tropical storm Hanna, that is.

Heavy rains and strong winds have kept this city girl from venturing outside today. Taebo inside with Billy Blanks is a good enough workout for me, thanks.

But Billy can only keep a girl occupied for so long before she's forced to do things like watch her season one DVD of Gossip Girl for hours on end.

Hence, this blog post - a break from the catty schoolgirls and their Brooklyn boy toys.

So, fun stuff that I've been up to since I last updated (ages ago, I know, but due to the very minimal amount of people who read this thing...I don't feel too guilty):

- Dinner at Serendipity with Kaleyn. It was tres fabulous, take my word for it. Or don't, and try the Forbidden Broadway Sundae and Frozen Hot Chocolate for yourself. You'll thank me. ;)

- Viewing the Project Runway dresses made from Hershey's candy material last season. I wanted to steal Christian's Reese's Peanut Butter Cup dress, but alas. That candy store has some damn fine security.

- Bar-hopping with Justin down in Greenwich Village. Let's just say it involved incredibly strong margaritas and someone falling out of their chair at the last stop of the night. Let's also say that person was not me.

- Brunch with various people for various occasions. Seriously, I think brunch is the only meal New Yorkers regularly eat. The rest of their consumption seems to remain within the family of a substance called alcohol. And nicotine. And caffeine.

- Meeting up with Casey, yet another Mary Washer to hit up the city for fun times. We lamented over the fact that everyone we know is either married and/or having kids. Not necessarily in that order.

- Discovering the joys of shopping at markets down in the west 100s. Seriously, Garden of Eden. Go. Eat. Enjoy.

- Dying of heat in a mostly un-air conditioned apartment. My hair has not been looking hot as of late.

And that's about it, aside from applying for every job under the sun that somehow pertains to the publishing industry. Seriously, mediabistro and I are best buds. Word.

Anyhow, upcoming plans include seeing Dean as he interviews with law firms up here over the next few weeks. Rachel and Lauren also have plans to come up relatively soon. And the most exciting plan of all...Mary Wash for Homecoming! Yaaaay!

It's kind of sad how excited I am to be the old alumnus in the stadium drinking beer and saying things like, "When I went to school here..." Any and all former (or current) M-Dubbers should join in on the fun. It's sometime in October. I'm not sure of the date, but check the website for details. I'm far too lazy to check it myself.

...But I'm not too lazy to peruse weather.com. A quick trip to the site has informed me that I will be enjoying non-rainy, slightly cooler (low eighties) weather tomorrow. This calls for a trip to the park!

After brunch, of course. ;)
