Today is Harry Potter's birthday. The big 3-1.
In celebration, watch HP 7.
Oh, and have Hawaiian Haystacks (continuing with the Mormon theme. This time, focusing on the food.)

The Book of Mormon Musical
7/30/2011
I finally saw it. And I found it fitting to see during my Mormon themed weekend.
All I can say is: so great. Quick, funny, upbeat and, of course, inappropriate. Still, so great :)

Mormon Weekend
7/29/2011
I decided to have a theme this weekend. Mormonism.
Today's entertainment involved the movies of Richard Dutcher: Brigham City and States of Grace. The first was good storytelling. The second, better filmmaking visually.

LA and NYC
7/28/2011
I went to see Friends with Benefits. The show was alright. But, it was fun that it started off in New York, went to LA for a bit, and returned to New York.
I feel it could very well be prophecy of my life. Well, minus the friend with benefits part...

Competition on the train
7/27/2011
As I sat down on the train I heard "excuse me ladies and gentlemen, I hate to disturb you..." from the top of the train. At the same time, from the bottom, I heard "I had to bother you but I could really use some help...." I waited to see which one noticed the other beggar on the train.
The one from the bottom of the train heard the other first. Upon realization he cursed.
I wish he would have continued. I had actually seen the other guy begging before. Apparently he hasn't earned enough money to get back to Oregon yet...

MSN Wonderwall
7/23/2011
(In response to Amy Winehouse's death, MSN did a photo essay of celebs gone too soon. At the end they publicized their next Wonderwall story about Snookie. But, the caption remained the same for the previous photo essay. Pretty awesome if you just look at what I saw without that context.)

NYC-Restaurant Week
7/21/2011
Every few months New York has "Restaurant Week". They have a set price for a three course meal that allows poor... I mean, allows people to experience the food culture in the city, especially the high-end restaurants.
This week I took advantage of two places: Brasserie (French Cuisine) and Delmonico's (American Steakhouse). Both were delicious with a great atmosphere.
Even better, I knew Delmonico's was a big deal when I was watching Millionaire Matchmaker and she held a mixer at this 174 year-old restaurant.

I'm kinda excited. Just a few days until I order one...

Google +
7/17/2011
Was introduced to Google + today. Still trying to decide my feelings towards it. For now, I'll enjoy playing around with it.

Preparing for HP 7.2
7/15/2011
I am a fan of Harry Potter. I've been looking forward to HP 7.2 for some time. Some friends did an HP marathon, watching one film a night. I was able to make all but 4 and 7.1. I watched 7.1 separately tonight in prep.
And now I'm ready for 7.2.

Broken Toe
7/14/2011
A chair jumped out at me from nowhere. It left a mark.
I thought I broke it. I couldn't walk. But, living in New York, it is impossible not to walk.
So I walked.
While walking, painfully, I felt a click in my foot. It didn't hurt after that.
But the bruise remains.
Can you guess which toe it was?
After two days: the color has gone down but the bruise has spread.
At least the bruise matched my toenail polish...

Today's errands consisted of shoe shopping and a mani/pedi.
Not the worst type of errands I could have done...

Busy day
7/10/2011
I was given two days notice to give a talk in church.
I also had a Sunday School lesson to prep and give.
It was a busy day.
Luckily not a ton of people were at church.

Social Media
7/6/2011
Social media has changed my life. Thanks to Facebook, Skype, email, and other websites, I have met several people I will be going to school with and am almost done with finding housing for when I move to CA.
I love social media.

I went into work today instead. It was a good thing too.
So much to do when a new client comes in...

Two Announcements
Shortly I will no longer be posting one blog per day. I will be going back to school and my schedule will be somewhat rigorous. Therefore, I have decided that I will post when I can but will not be held down by my one-post-per-day rule. I have enjoyed it however.
This does not mean you avid readers will not continue to be entertained.
It is my privilege to introduce Brittany's blog. Essentially we are one person anyone, so for the days that I don't post, look to her blog for continuous entertainment.

Enjoy!!

5 am wake up call
7/1/2011
Beyonce held a free concert in Central Park. I woke up at 5 am to go. Too bad that was too late.
I still got to participate in the festivities. She sure has some crazy and devoted fans. The following videos don't even give justice to the events at hand.
***************************************************************************************
Shortly after people broke the police barriers
This guy climbed the tree to get a better view. He got more cheers than Beyonce did.
Looking at the stage, people breaking the barrier and being escorted away.
Although difficult to understand, you can hear the music. Fans cheering as well.
