Last night, I had another wild and crazy time working til midnight. I’m wiped. But tonight, I will pour some caffeine down my throat, throw on some foot-tappin shoes and head down to Alphabet Lounge for another night of Benjamin tunes.
If you’re around, please join us.
This morning, in the pursuit of clothing, I pulled my leather blazer from the closet where it had been resting since fall. In the inappropriately bulging pocket, I found, to my extreme delight, my sunglasses. This makes me a very happy girl. I was all set to shell out the dough for another pair, but truthfully, it wasn’t really in the budget. There were so many things I needed more – like new earbuds, god damn it.
To add to the delight of lost & found treasure, I got a “good morning, beautiful” and a “wow” from a couple of guys on the street this morning. Normally, I would find this annoying and make grimacy faces at them. But — and I know it’s just so boring to talk about the gym and one’s weight and that any blogger caught in such a grievous offense is heading straight for blogger hell to burn in pyres of bad chick lit forever — having been sweatin’ it at the gym more regularly lately, I was tickled pink to be objectified.
I got reacquainted with my triceps the other day. Also pleasing.
So, right. Join us tonight. If you’re good, I’ll save you a piece of my grilled cheese sandwich. Mmmmmcheese.
Hey, just a note about the earbuds that might save you some money… I thought mine were broken for a while, but it turned out that it was actually the little remote-on-a-string thing that was causing the problem. I just disconnected that and plugged the buds directly into the iPod, and I could hear my music again. I don’t know whether you’re using the “remote” but if you are that might be the problem.
I’m with you. Normally, I get all nose-in-the-air indignant about admiring comments from strangers on the street, but every once in a while, it makes my day. Especially if said admirer has more than two teeth and doesn’t appear to be inebriated at 8:40 a.m.
Love your site. Have a great weekend!
Hey Fish: If you don’t mind a couple of mailing days waiting, you can totally have my extra pair. Long story, my daughter thought she lost hers, so I gave her mine, bought some new fancy ones, and promptly found hers.
So I have an extra pair, and I totally can’t listen to two sets at the same time. And these new ones that I bought are the white ones, but with different size ear cones for better sound quality, and for different size ears.
Want em?
awe, steph – that is so nice!
if i were anywhere near NYC, i’d come hear ben play tonight. i am a fan from far away – i fell in love with the Mister Rogers story a long time ago.
have fun!
I looove grilled cheese! My favorite is when the cheese hits the skillet and gets a little crusty and brown. I’ll have to try that place next time I’m in NYC.
Sounds delish! I’ll take it as a sign to leave this desk and hit the comfort food.
Love the blog!
well again the details lays in the devil (i don’t know if that’s english ? but it’a french expression) and I like the fine analysis of compliments given on the street, the nuance, very glamourous…
Glad to hear you’re doing better today, Fish!
It’s very cool of you to invite us and I would have totally stopped by were it not for my own temporary bicycle.
Some boys are no fun…
btw-congrats on going back to the gym!!!
“temporary bicycle” i love it!
Well, if I was in Manhattan today I would but alas, I am in Sydney.

Actually, Apple will send replacements if it’s up to a year old. They just sent me two pair for some reason. Give their customer service peeps a call (number’s on website) and they’ll hook you up. Very friendly-like!
