Miranda moment

Yes, indeed, I think I may have had a "Sex and the City" moment earlier this week when I had an $18 hamburger at Joe's Pub. Meghan and I went to see Erin McKeown, a very versatile and talented musician, perform. I swear there's an episode of SatC where they talk about how expensive hamburgers are in Manhattan. Somebody tell me I'm not making it up?

I can't sleep!

I think it's because I had an extended nap on the subway train a couple hours ago! Might as well catch up on things online.

Saw Dreamgirls with Keith and some of his friends from volleyball. Such a good movie. I'm glad I watched it again!

It snowed this morning! At first, as I was walking along W. 40th Street between 7th and 8th Avenue, I got really mad because I thought somebody's disgusting cigarette ash things were getting all over me. Then more snow started to surround the air, and I got really happy. :) Snooooow!! Not enough to stick but just enough to put me in a good mood before work.

I needed to buy some cards anyway...

... now I'll just make sure to go to Hallmark to get this Josh Groban CD. Oh, those marketers are good...

From FOJG:

Here's looking at you, 2006

The Year in Numbers

240: the number of times the song listened to the most on my iPod/iTunes, "Home," has played (acquired this track in early 2006 from Anna Nalick's special CD released in Australia)

20: books read (5 short of my goal for the year)

29: the number of musicals I saw this year (shatters the previous one-year record of 15)
