So it would appear that
Florida will be playing Ohio State at the National Championship game this January in Arizona. I have a couple of obvious problems with this.... has anyone seen Florida play this year? I understand that they are their conference champs (scaring thought after watching them attempt to play football against an even worse Florida State team last week). Being the conference champ should definitely give you some bowl game perks. Afterall, as a wolverine fan, I love nothing better than watching a Big Ten team kick the a$$ of an over rated, over talked, over estamated SEC or other conference team. Not to talk poorly of other conferences, some years, they have great teams... just not this year. This year, most conferences should feel slightly concerned about who their conference champs are. To be perfectly honest, even though I am a huge Michigan fan, believe it or not, I was not particularly interested in watching Michigan play Ohio State again. I think the first game was a toss up, I think the championship would be the same...and while I would have liked to see Michigan beat Ohio State, I would have loved to see OS beat the crap out of over rated USC and watch Michigan beat Florida.... you know, just for $hits and giggles. Unfortunately, that won't happen and unless Florida does a miraculous turn around before January (which, hey, we've seen happen with other teams in the past.... kind of....) the OS vs. Florida game won't even be much of a game. Which is a shame, I always like a good competition for a bowl game.
Patty and I met a few of her friends out for drinks on Friday night for happy hour. We went to the Rose, a laid back bar in Gramercy with cute interior design, pretty laid back crowd and manhattan priced drinks. We arrived by 7:30pm, by 9:30pm I went out to call my boyfriend back... I walked through the giant red velvet curtains, past the glass doors and found myself in the midst of a long line, paparazzi, security guards and Kate Moss. I looked behind myself back into the bar to make sure that this was indeed the nobody bar I had easily walked into just two hours before. It was. .... The security guard turned very nicely to me (dressed in my work clothes while everyone else in line was dressed to party) and asked me if I wanted to step out for a second. I stepped out, made my call and then the SG made sure that the crowd parted for me so that I could get back in again. Everyone sat there staring at me, like who the hell is she? Next thing I know I'm sitting back down at the bar and this guy sitting next to me starts talking to me:
GSNTM: um, hi... i know this seems kind of weird, but do you know how to get people in here?
Me (very confused): Get people in here?
GSNTM: yeah, I have a friend outside that can't get in. I saw you outside....Can you get them in?
Me: Quite frankly, I'm not sure how I got myself in.
GSNTM: haha... very funny.
Me: I've never been here before... I'm just here to drink the beer.
GSNTM (confused): to drink the beer?
Me: well, I was going to drink the gin, but I opted for beer.
GSNTM: so you can't get my friend in?
Me: no... sorry...
GSNTM: really?
Me: really
GSNTM: are you just being difficult?
Me: nope... i'm kind of confused right now, but definitely not being difficult.
One of the things I hate most about living in a big city is how easily my shoes get ruined. I almost died on three occassions on Saturday night due to the heal of my shoe getting stuck in a crack and today some stranger had to rescue me on my way into work when my heal got stuck in a pot-hole while crossing the street infront of oncoming traffic. It was almost like the scene in the Wedding Planner when
Matthew McConaughey saves
Jennifer Lopez from the rolling dumpster...except the guy that saved me was in Real Estate, not peds and I almost got ran over by a bus and some crazy lady pushing a stroller, not a dumpster. And my conversation that followed went something like this:
Hero: you work in my building
Me: yeah?
Hero: yeah, but you use the other elevator bank
Me (looking confused and assuming he's a stalker): hmm?
Hero: I see you all of the time... you fall alot.
Me (crap): I don't "fall"
Hero: you stumble
Me: I have wobbley ankles
Hero: you should wear sneakers to work
Me: Well, I normally do but my flats are in my desk...
Hero: ??
Me: It's just where they are today... every other day they are on my feet.
Hero: yeah?
Me (walking into our building, slipping again): woooo!
Hero (catching me again): you need constant supervision
Building Security Guard: you have no idea
There was no heat in our office building for half of the day. Patty and I literally almost froze to death. Finally the heat came on.... now that the heats on, somehow the AC has turned on as well.
