Round and Round

By urbanblitz • Sep 29th, 2005 • Category: Getting Crafty

It has just been a very long week. Partially because there has been so much to do. I was extremely tired and was thinking of skipping out on pottery. Yes, a chance to play with clay. Round and round it went. Very frustrating I say. Cause I don’t yet have the hand strength to wield [...]



Organic This

By urbanblitz • Sep 27th, 2005 • Category: All About Food

This morning I realized that I was having organic yogurt and granola. Personally, I think it’s a whole marketing ploy. Organic doesn’t really taste much different from non-organic food. I’m sure there are some people that disagree with me. I see no point to the mark-up cost. I picked up the granola from the street [...]



Calling Jenny Craig

By urbanblitz • Sep 27th, 2005 • Category: Straphanger Chronicles

So I get on the R train and plop myself next to this college kid and this lady. Let’s just say she takes up half my seat. The 3 seaters are meant for 3 average sized people that 3-1/2. As the train moved I plowed into the college gal. I felt so bad. It wasn’t [...]



The List

I rarely blog about work. But this was just too funny. Normally, it’s the darnest thing kids say. This one of those moments of “No She Didn’t. One of my co-workers couldn’t remember this band she’s looking for so she asked my other co-worker. Of course he promptly goes to iTunes. And immediately, she blurted [...]



Russian vs. Russian

Before we get to the title, let’s first start off with the Art of Getting a Seat during rush hour. As I spotted a girl about to get off I moved my bag aside to just slide right into the seat. Of course, there was another straphanger had his eye on the seat. But it’s [...]



Coupling

just give up. I make new friends and what do they do. They hook up with other people. And then they disappear until they’re single again or married. Well I’m starting feel it. No one ever wants to hang out and go to the movies because they have prior engagements. But the one [...]



Got Milk?

By urbanblitz • Sep 24th, 2005 • Category: Shopping

My mom is like the maven for the cost of milk in my neighborhood. She’s always on the hunt for the better deal. She buys a gallon of milk every week. Last week, the best deal for milk was $ 2.19. Then sometime this week someone pointed out to her some other store was selling [...]



Rubber Duckie

You’re the One I bet you’re saying what the hell. I sent out an email yesterday to my friends to see who wanted to go to the Million Dollar Duck Race at South Street Seaport today. Of course, I didn’t get many takers. Basically, you can adopt a duck to race for a chance [...]



Hack It All Off

By urbanblitz • Sep 19th, 2005 • Category: Just Me

Today was the day, I was to hack off my hair. I arrived at the salon at about noon. And spend the next 2 hours getting my hair highlighted and processed. During this whole time, I’m busy knitting away. Then at about 2:30 pm I was swept off to another chair to have someone cut [...]



Knitting Away

By urbanblitz • Sep 19th, 2005 • Category: Getting Crafty

So after my haircut, I met up with EH to head over to Brighton Beach to get our snack fix. That’s mean EH needs to stock up on his corn nuts. And I have to get more dried fruit and olives. It’s only $2.99 a pound for olives. So much cheaper than Garden of Eden. [...]
