London Calling

And this is a video of the people I love from London.

London

I went to London to remind myself of the stinky things I didn't like about the city and all I got was re-confirmation on why I miss London so much! Pants!!!

Be Nice To Human Beings Program - Day 10

I was nice to another tourist in Times Square again today. Extremely helpful, advising where to get ice cream. My fellow resident knows about this and is threatening to expel me from the community. But this being nice to human beings business is starting to get too easy. I have no anger management issues. Give me a challenge. Yawn.......

Be Nice To Human Beings Program - Day 7

Residents of Times Square knows the unspoken rule. No interactions with tourists. No soliciting with tourists. They are the enemy. The less of them in our neighborhood, the further improvement to our quality of lives.
Today, I helped a tourist in Times Square. Recommending somewhere good where she could have some sushi. This warrants five points in The Program. I feel warm and fuzzy inside. Well done ME!

Hulk You!!!

New York City is turning me into an angry angry person. I am angry with the tourist who walks slowly ahead of me in my neighborhood. I am angry with the check out lady who is not moving fast enough. I am angry with my colleagues who asks stupid questions and wastes my time. I am angry at the traffic in my daily commute. I am angry at people who invade my physical private space because there is so little of it. I am angry at bad service. I am angry at slow service. And bitch, don't try to cut off my walking space. You will never beat me maneuvering through crowded human traffic. I will win. I am a resident of Times Square... RAHHHHH!!!!! I have worked 16 hours today. I would like to get some sleep so don't get in the way of me and my extra minute in bed!

Step one of managing my anger. I have made a resolution that I will be nice to my fellow human beings. I will be a nice person. I need the practice to make sure I don't forget to act like a normal human being outside of New York City.

The New York Children's Film Festival ends this weekend. This is my favorite clip at the moment.

Big Apple Bite

Working an average of 12 hours a day, 9 straight days in a row while I'm sick is turning me into a tired, bitter, corporate bitch.

Does the Big Apple chew and spit people out as the stressed individuals of what the world typifies as New Yorkers?

American Boys

American Boy: So... are you married?
Dozka: NO! (For bloggers who don't know, I don't believe in getting married.)
AB: Do you have a boyfriend?
Dozka: Um.. no?
AB: We should totally hang out!
Dozka: Uh... OK.

Is the forwardness of American boys sexy or shocking? Oh, did I mention I'm going to brunch on Sunday with AB?
