THE Joan Rivers

So, on Thursday, I found out that Joan Rivers was going to be at the Barnes and Noble on 66th Street. For whatever reason, I do have a certain fascination with famous people. I like to see them, and I like to say that I see them.

Now I realize that Joan Rivers is not ultra famous, but she is famous enough that my mom and I laugh thoroughly every time we see her interviewing the Stars on the Red Carpet. We were always amazed at the incredible amount of plastic surgery that she has done to her face. Secretly, I kind of just wanted to see her face live and in person...

I got there right as she was starting a lecture, so I was a good 30 feet away from her. However, I was able to snap a couple of good pictures!

New York, New York

It's been a while since I have posted something, and I think it's about time. I have been inspired by other blog friends to just post random thoughts, so I think I am going to try it out.

What better to think randomly about than New York City? So, here we go...

New York City...

1. Is absolutely beautiful to look at from a 40th floor window.
2. Is quite inconvenient for small errands.
3. Subway system is either incredibly efficient or utterly useless.
4. Is quite inconvenient for large errands.
5. Has loads of fun cafes, diners, and markets.
6. Surprised us with mice (yes, that's plural)...in our apartment.
7. Is home to many people who enjoy telling you what you are doing wrong, always.
8. Makes you darn tough because of these people.
9. Inspires creativity.
10. Is the one and only reason I may EVER wear a hat because it is sooo cold.
11. Produces fabulous bucket drummers.
12. Is actually really safe.
