Another day, Another dream
Waking up at 7:30 in the morning is not my idea of a fun time. So one can imagine how I felt when the most annoying sound in the world rudely interrupted my illustrious dreams of happiness. Thus is how my morning began. Strike that. Thus is how my morning has begun since I moved to New York. I jumped in the shower, threw on some clothes (and by that, I mean threw on a pair of 6 year old slacks and a short sleeve blue shirt that I am none too happy with, but can't afford anything else at the moment). Then I popped in a copy of The Eminem Show into my CD player (don't ask) and barely made the 9:05 1 train. After the 35 minute commute, I ran into Au Bon Pain and grabbed a muffin along with some juice, just cause I know that I will DIE of starvation if I don't eat SOMETHING. Then up the elevator (after waiting a bit, cause the elevators here SUCK ASS) and sat down in my chair, where I have been for the last 3 hours.
Highlights of the day thus far: Read a great NY Times article about hating christmas. It made me laugh out loud, which I'm sure is another strike to my case for sanity in this office (people tend to distrust you when you burst out in laughter for no apparent reason). Check the article out here:

On another note, JoJo Ripley sent me an email with a chuckling joke. here's that one for you:
REMEMBER THIS AT CHRISTMAS TIME
According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, while both male and female reindeer grow antlers in the summer each year, male reindeer drop their antlers at the beginning of winter, usually late November to mid-December. Female reindeer retain their antlers till after they give birth in the spring.
Therefore, according to EVERY historical rendition depicting Santa's reindeer, EVERY single one of them, from Rudolph to Blitzen, had to be a girl.
We should've known... ONLY women would be able to drag a fat-ass man in a red velvet suit all around the world in one night and not get lost.
I told her that Santa's reindeer are MAGICAL. That's why they can FLY. Therefore, the rules of typical reindeer don't apply and they MUST be male, since they have male names. She countered with "Are you high ? Since when did magical reindeer exist apart from in your head.... lol". I love that woman.
What else? So far I have been recommended a movie by my thirty something coworker Jules. It's called "Fear of a Black Hat" and sounds pretty funny. Although a review on IMDB said it was exactly like "This is Spinal Tap", except with a black cast. Interesting. I'm sure I'll find it hilarious. After the recommendation, Jules and I had a smoke on the back stairs, which was interesting. I somewhat felt like I was breaking the rules, like a high school kid smoking in the bathroom. But then I remembered I'm an adult now...rules don't apply to me. Yeah right. Don't I wish.
Plans for the rest of today...lunch in a bit, then another 4 hours of sitting here wasting my time. At 6:30 I have an audition for the AADA (American Academy of Dramatic Arts) for their evening program. Hopefully that will go well...we shall see. Afterwards, I'm meeting Brian for dinner. Then I will head home and watch the very last episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. That's gonna be hard to do. Kinda like closing a chapter in my life. Wait, what the fuck am I talking about? It's a fucking television show. Jesus christ, I am really lame these days.
And here's a picture of Saturn.
