OMG! Gossip Girl – Part 2

David is moving back to Seattle.  He’s saying good-bye to NY.  He’s saying good-bye to all his fave NY restaurants, visiting one of them everyday.  Saturday was supposed to be his last meal at Shake Shack.
It was not an usual Shack Shack kind of day.  It was drizzling.  The line was unusually short (but [...]

I Miss You Diesel

Have fun in Australia.  Learn some Chinese (with the $16 book you got in Chinatown with my mom).  Don’t eat too much. Run like the wind at the 8k.

Mom and Me on TV

My mom is visiting for a week.  She is fine hanging out and eating with Dies and me, but today I thought it would be fun to go to the Today Show, so we headed over to Rockerfeller Center.
My dream has come true.  I was on TV!  I was in the audience and only [...]

Queens Half-Marathon: Worst Race EVER

Top 10 reasons why this is the worst race EVER (in pics)

1)  It’s hella far:  got up at 4am, on the F train by 4:30, on 7 train at 5, in Queens at 5:30, on race bus after that, at McNeil Park where the race started at 6ish.  Waited about an hour for race to [...]

OMG! Gossip Girl

On Friday night, after my long run, Diesel and I laid low and had a quiet dinner.  We went to Brick Lane, one of he nicer Indian restaurant in Little India, which boasts a more Anglosized menu.  You do pay extra for the white linens and decor, but the food is great.
Anyhow, we were walking [...]

Still Alive Despite Ignorance

Since David and I are running the Queens Half-Marathon (part of the NY RoadRunners “5 Boroughs Challenge” series), I had to change my running schedule a bit and do my long run today, so that I could rest on Saturday and wake up at the ungodly hour of 4am to make the trek to Queens [...]

Only in NY (and the Middle/Far East): Eyebrow Threading

After a couple of days sick, I made it out of the apartment to get some fruit and get my eyebrows waxed.  But alas, my 5-dollar waxing place was closed today, so I went across the street to a place that was advertising “waxing” and “threading.”  Since I’ve moved to this city, I’ve wondered what [...]

WTF?

So, i come to London for two whole days and what happens? The whole country goes to black! Who is this crazy woman and who are these people that want to vote for someone who wants to start teaching creationism in school (or better – intelligent design!), overturn roe vs wade and goes on and [...]

Brazil Day

Last week while on my way back from a meeting, I stopped by a Brazilian store on 46th st (also known as Little Brazil Street – and little it is) to pick up some frozen pao de queijo (cheese bread) for Kelly. Little stores like this are the only acceptable place to spend what ended [...]
