I jsut saw the craziest interview on Today. The authors of a book called The List were on, talking about how you should be able to tell if a man will marry you after 30 days. It was The Rules crazy, it was.

I saw that! That shit was BANANAS. Even Ann Curry thought it was bananas. Luckily, they emphasized it was only for if you were looking to get married on a schedule.

Jesse, my folks used to love taking the Staten Island Ferry and driving around looking at the Mafia mansions. There is also an Old Sailor's Home turned Arts center caled Snug Harbor. Check it out: [link]

We only had a couple of hours today, so just went into the city and shopped around a little, and had lunch, and they're off! But I really need to go out to Staten Island some time and actually do stuff.

Jars - most impressive hair colour in the NYE photos!

And looking at them, I've just realised how badly I need to do my roots.

Yeah, it was a lovely night. Completely unstressful, which is always good for NYE.

Luckily, they emphasized it was only for if you were looking to get married on a schedule.

Evidently I need a copy.

DH liked the the mah jongg set. People at the cafe said I looked much better.

I made a list of things to do. Included on the list is catching up on Lost.

I wonder if will be able to convince DH that I really don't want to go back out in the rain...

I just took a short errand trip outside. It looks like my building will finally be getting fencing of sorts around the flowerbeds. They have been working on this for at least 3 years, so yay! They will help to keep the flowers beds nicer and untrod upon by man and beast.

There were approx 50 police officers hanging out on a corner in the hood. Now idea whyfor and I didn't ask, but odd.

Now I think it is time for lunch.

Jesse if you are around, pop on IM.

Hey, my 2006 is actually off to a great start. I met up with some good friends for brunch this morning, and then when I was running errands in town this afternoon, the cute bookstore guy who flirted with me last time I was in the store asked me out!!

Now we have each other's phone numbers, and I am realizing that we probably should have just made a date right then, but I was all flustered, and now I am getting nervous about calling him. But, yay, a date!

Fantastic! A date with a cute guy who works in a bookstore! Hell, I fancy him, and I've never even seen the guy. But - bookstore!

I've spent most of this weekend sans internet -- for some reason, my cable (tv and internet) have been on the fritz since Friday. Time Warner is sending a technician out on Friday (can't get one sooner).

I just hope it's something they can fix inside the apartment, because access to the cable box is through a neighbor's back yard. I've been online now for about ten minutes, catching up, which means it's about to conk out again, so I'd better make this brief!

"Ooh, can I touch your employee discount?"

"Uh, we're alone now...you don't have to be cute."

"I'm not. Seriously."

Ach, Jessica, that sucks! I hope they can fix it soon.

But - bookstore!

I know! I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high, because I don't really know anything about him, and so this could easily turn out to be nothing I want to pursue. But I can't help thinking that the bookstore bit bodes well.

"Ooh, can I touch your employee discount?"

Heh.
