The day wouldn't be a day without...
...some experience related to The Office. Today's involved my professor, a TV hooked up to a DVD player behind him, and one simple logo going back and forth on the screen. I have never been so tempted to take out my phone in class just to take a picture. Or, to cheer when the logo actually hit the corner.
I guess you had to have been there. Or, seen the episode.

First Tiramisu experience

Did you know mascarpone not only has an expiration date but it also has an expiration time? Good thing I used the mascarpone that I bought on Saturday when I did. It is set to expire December 1, 2010 at 4:26 am. I'm glad they gave me the additional four hours and twenty-six minutes.

Fire in Manhattan

I saw my first building fire. It would be more exciting if I had a picture. Too bad I didn't have my phone on me. Good thing my friend had a phone and took a picture. Too bad he is holding it ransom.

I was waiting to meet up with a friend when I saw a lady on a motor scooter coming towards me. She was taking it easy, coming along the street. Then I realized that she was slowing down. She literally stopped right in front of me and said, "this is the second time my battery died this week." I didn't know what to do.
So I just said I was sorry and walked away.
No joke.

Hurricane Earl
9/3/2010
Seriously, Earl!?! Where did you go? I went outside for lunch and felt a drop of rain and was a bit excited. What can I say, I like a good storm. Then I realized it was the air conditioner above me.
It was disappointing.
