Day 45 - February 14, 2008

Happy Valentine's Day! In years past this has certainly been a pretty horrible day, but today was actually really wonderful. My current boss, Chester, brought me the most ridiculous cookie that was shaped like a heart filled with strawberry jelly and both it and me became covered in powdered sugar. Then Kumi and I went to this amazing diner for lunch. It was quite a find on the Upper Eastside.

Then tonight Rohin was my valentine's date. We ate junk food and watched great 90s movies keeping in the tradition of the Spice Girls from this week. Rohin drew this picture at work today. He is doing an internship at a magazine in the city and today they went to interview people in line to buy chocolate at the Godiva store. Unfortunately, they didn't have a camera that worked so he drew a picture to portray what was happening. I thought that it was a great picture to show the day!

Day 44 - February 13, 2008

Umm! So for those of you who cook all the time, this is probably pretty boring, but I do not cook very often so it always makes me happy. There is just something about buying everything you need and putting it all together that is immensely satisfying. This is turkey chili and it was excellent!

Day 43 - February 12, 2008

So it snowed! However, I'm sure that none of my friends or family in the Midwest finds this exciting at all, since it has done nothing but snow there for the last month! Snow is only pretty while it is snowing in the city, by tomorrow it will all be black slush. Anyway, it was nice to enjoy the beauty while it lasted.

Day 42- February 11, 2008
Today was the much anticipated day of the month. That's right it was time for the Spice Girls Reunion tour! It was such an amazing experience. I just really loved the Spice Girls in middle school when they were in their prime, so it was a great opportunity to spend some quality time with Jeet and Rohin and enjoy an outrageous but amazing concert. Also it was in New Jersey at the new Prudential Center. So it was my first time taking the Path Train too! Overall it was amazing and I actually made it home at a decent hour, so that is nice to. People of the world, Spice Up Your Life.

Day 41 - February 10, 2008

So I didn't do a great job last week of taking unique pictures, so I am going to be making a stronger effort to do a better job this week.

Today I went over to Cobble Hill to spend a lazy Sunday with my friends Kumi and Abby. Kumi is training to run a marathon this summer, so she was going to run from Cobble Hill to her place on 119th street today as further preparation. We figure this is about 13 miles, so it is about half of a marathon. This is a picture of her at the beginning, before she took off on a cold, snowy afternoon. I am always in awe of people who run marathons and I wish her the best of luck!

Day 40 - February 9, 2008

Tonight we went to Caliente Cab for dinner. Caliente is Spanish for hot, and seriously this dinner was a hot spot for discussion and debate. It is pretty interesting what a thin line there is between debating and fighting, but at the end of the day it gives you a much better idea of who people really are! Also FYI Caliente Cab is not my favorite Mexican place in the city at all, their food is just a little too bland for me.

Day 39 - February 8, 2008

Okay, I'm not usually much of a Bush basher, but this is a pretty funny cartoon. Oh candy hearts, so helpful!
