Crisp cool day that began with me hugging my alarm clock (literally) and ended with a beautiful clear sunset out my windows.
The hugging alarm clock bit was due to me being only partially awakened by it - while wrestling to shut it off - I fell asleep, woke up, luckily 45 minutes later (6:51 am) and raced about to make to the subway by 7:18, made it to the train station by 7:35, and caught the train to Jamaica. In to work at 8:05, right after my boss - five minutes late, not bad. But very weird to wake up hugging one's alarm clock.
Am debating exploring areas of Brooklyn this weekend to determine new places to hunt for apartments in. Have been invited by a friend from church to check out an area around Brooklyn College. There's apparently some affordable condos out where she lives. But she just moved...might be better to wait a week.
Never know how personal to be in this lj. I think I tend to stick in the middle, flocking the ultra personal posts.
Still making my way through GRR Martin's Feast of Crows - which is a fascinating read, if somewhat of a downer.

This week's Grey's Anatomy was hilarious - well if you are geek and got the jokes. Or know geeks and got the jokes. Although I do resent the fact that in all these series none of the leads or regulars are geeks. Hello, completely unrealistic. The stereotype that all geeks wear horn-rimmed glasses, are under the age of 30, and look like Kevin Smith is such a stereotype.
It's ironic considering most of the writers are geeks - do they just have poor self-esteems or something? (Nothing against Kevin Smith - who is a multi-millionaire). Anyhow they bring in this bus-load of comic-con/sci-fi convention attendees who got in a serious accident. One is wearing hobbit ears, another is in a storm-trooper outfit. And the best two are arguing over a toy tardis.
