Television's Biggest Night

I've kept up well with the awards shows this year. There were the Oscars. And the Grammy's. And tonight...the Emmy's!

It's 9:45 now and I'm DVR'ing the rest of the show. But nothing made me happier than Modern Family winning the first two awards of the night! Of the three guys nominated for Best Supporting Actor, Cam is definitely my favorite. He's such a performer!


And look at Mitchell, all crying and teary for Cam's win! They're just like their characters.

And I was laughing out loud when they did the spoof on the show with George Clooney.

I'm curious about best show, but not enough to keep me awake for another hour.

The Creepy Dreamer

I had to go buy stamps today so I paid a visit to the USPS. The post office on 3rd Avenue is on the 2nd floor of an office building so you have to take an escalator up. Along the way, there's a series of statues. They're all heads. The artist calls this one "Dreaming."


I call it "Creepy." Her eyes followed me as I went down the escalator. If I had to look at it every day, I'd probably go postal!

A Hammock Swings in Brooklyn

Today was my company's summer outing. Everyone was invited, from all three offices. It really made me realize how few people I know! The organizers spared no expense: they rented out a huge recreational area and picnic house in Prospect Park, had an incredible meal catered, supplied several open bar stations, bought and set up lots of sporting equipment and hired a team of masseuses who set up private massage stations in the shade. But what did I enjoy most?


Relaxing in one of the hammocks that was set up on the lawn. Swinging in the shade, I could hear people around me laughing, cheering for each other in the volleyball game and just enjoying the day. It was peaceful. And then the relay races started...

The Random Tree

I walk through Madison Square Park at least five times a week. And today, I swear, this tree appeared out of nowhere.


I have never seen this tree before. And considering it's right in the middle of my path, just between Shake Shack and the fountain, you'd think I would have noticed it before. There's no way it's new, right?

Rain, rain, you're welcome to stay!

It's been raining in the city for three straight days and it's delightful. The air is much cooler, the nights are more comfortable and the humidity is way down.


You'd think that I would have been cranky that my jeans got soaked on the way to work this morning and took forever to dry leaving me in soggy pants all day. But I wasn't. Or that my umbrella was still wet when I put it in my backpack and it soaked all the papers in there. But that was ok. I'm just so relieved that the 2010 heatwave is over that Mother Nature can toss anything my way and I won't be bothered! And no. I'm not just talking about weather because there's nothing else new today.

I went back to Elizabeth Arden for them to straighten out my haircut. Can you see a difference?


No, neither can I. It still looks crooked, it's just an inch shorter now. Awesome. As the haircutter reminded me, it's just hair. Let's all be glad that cardiology wasn't her chosen profession.
