best and worst


as the driver pulled over around 60th street, a woman let out a horrific scream. everyone turned to stare. in a sad, sappy voice, she muttered about "cheap plastic bags" as she was surrounded by newspapers, magazines and toiletries.

best: the bus driver got out of his seat and offered to help her. the man behind her also gathered things. within 30 seconds, she had collected her belongings and exited.

worst: a group of UMN-adorned sophomores burst out laughing for the next 3 blocks--commenting loudly on her clothing, appearance, baggage, character, etc.

they were the only ones who didn't understand that her primordial scream was the fear of losing everything or missing her stop.... and thanks to our bus driving hero, she didn't have to make that choice.

people really have sex in the city


surrounded by rich mahogany and the smell of old money, i dined with a woman from four states away.

she invited a libertine who could eat me alive and another one who came off as an innocent, family-builder.

after talking about my friend's career, i realized i was in a sex in the city episode. women really do share cocktails, laughs and stories in what can only be described as a more-fun, walters-free version of "the view".

and returning home to blog about it can only mean i'm carrie (which iVillage confirmed)

here's raising a cosmopolitan to my new found womanhood--thanks for inviting me.

friends


the nz newspaper heralded the fact that a nz politician now has as many facebook friends as bill clinton. aside from the obvious question of "is this news"... i ask if this really means anything at all given the fact that the last thing bill clinton wants is a reputation for "the guy with the most school age friends"
