As I'm walking to my date this morning, I pass a street festival. I love this city and all of their street fairs! The streets are packed with people and the smell of food and spices surround you as you walk past. My date is at The MoMA. It's the Museum of Modern Art. I find it interesting; him, I don't think so much. =) In order to really enjoy modern art, I think you need to have a huge appreciation for art. I mean huge! It's very eccentric, wacky, and really just doesn't make a whole lot of sense. But it's so fascinating!
One exhibit is a blank piece of construction paper, framed. That's it. If this tells you anything. I feel bad because I'm pretty sure he isn't diggin' it at all. I could be wrong, but the, "I could do without the painting and sculpture floor," comment kind of gave it away! ;) So, we leave and head to lunch. We go to a brewery where I have an interesting glass of beer. I'm not a fan of beer, but this one is infused with raspberries, pomegranate, and champagne. Sounds delicious? It is.
After the date, what better place to go than the street fair? They have so much stuff! Jewelry, clothing, food, the best fruit smoothie ever made! ;) I buy a beautiful scarf for the price of only $5! I love it! I'm one of the cheapest people alive, so places like this are right up my alley! I also make my first H&M purchase here in the city. That store is amazing! I buy a blazer for my job interview tomorrow! Again, please keep your fingers crossed! It's a second interview for the marketing company--tomorrow, I get to shadow an executive all day to see if I'd be a good fit! You bet I'm going to make myself be a good fit! I need a dang job! ;)
Congrats to the Yankees for making the Series! It's crazy here in the city! Sorry to my little brother who is a major Twins fan! I love A-Rod and he always gives me crap for it. Well, bro--thanks to him, the game got going! ;)
The rest of the day is spent relaxing and watching my favorite TV show: Brothers & Sisters. If you have never seen this show, watch it! They kind of remind me of my family! =) They are absolutely crazy, controlling, and opinionated. They drive you nuts, but in the end, they are always there for each other! And Kevin and Scotty, Rebecca and Justin--so cute in love! It's what I like to aspire to! More so like Rebecca and Justin just because that's the way I swing, but I think Scotty is so sweet! Tonight's episode is a total insight into what my family would do! It's great!
Note to self: Don't assume everyone in New York asks for your number because they "want to help you." When you go into a restaurant and the manager gives you his number and tells you to text him so he can "ask" around to his buddies for jobs, don't text him. He doesn't really want to help you. He just wants to hit on you. Which is obvious when he won't leave you alone! Why can't he be tall, dark, and handsome? Why does he have to be short, stubby, and bald? Damn! Everytime!
