The initial test run in LA went well, altough a lot of wrinkles came up in the plans. Venice Beach/Santa Monica might not be the slam dunk I had expected, so we're going to look at other neighborhoods now.
Driving to the hotel on Weds, I saw that The Rapture were playing The Troubadour. Sold out? No problem, thanks to Craiglist LA. Got to hang...

that gap used to drive me nuts! i have accepted it though 
not the best of picture of me in the profile but it does capture the feeling after having run the nyc marathon this sunday. it wasn't my fastest time -- 4:43, or almost 20% slower than last year. that wasn't what this race was about... i took my time crossing the bridges, soaking in the skyline from various vantages. i scanned the crowds along the...

Congrats on finishing the bloody marathon - nevermind what your time was! it sounds like you really made the most of it - New york in the fall can be absolutely beautiful...

I could not think of a better way to say goodbye to NYC :-( Although I'm not much of a runner... Someday though!
my halloween flat out rocked. went to a friend's place earlier on then went here for the rest of the night:

we went as batgirl and superman not out of any great love for the characters, but because it was easy and good for dancing -- which we did from 1 to 6. it was so much fun.

Market research mostly, as it's what I have most experience in. I'm finishing up my Masters in Business (Marketing) majoring in Consumer Behavior & Research. I've mostly been looking at the big research houses. I'm also into consumer products & consulting. My basic story is undergrad in IT, work for a few years, back to grad school, internship.. now?
At this point I'm pretty open to anything just to get a foot in the door and get my brain active again.
PS. Hi! Now you know my life story, feel free to share yours.

and now? fine as could be. figures. oh well.
i didnt dress up for halloween, it was just a chance to go see my sister and her husband.
but what did you do? anything interesting?
i tried to get a game of beer pong going, but half the people had no idea what i was taking about!

booked the thanksgiving flight to amsterdam, but still trying to decide where to stay. any suggestions for a centrally located hotel?
sg burlesque on tuesday night was really good. i esp liked the routines with Chloe, Regan and the new girl Reno. Great music selection, great themes, great everything. Way crowded though.

pop culture update:
saw stellastarr at irving plaza: solid performance, and the new album pretty much avoids the whole sophmore slump syndrome. but they were dogging it a bit. the band doesn't seem to be having as much fun as they did just last year. hope they get their spark back.
saw "tristram shandy" last night -- hilarious, esp for steve coogan fans. michael wnterbottom...

yes, yes, yes... you have THE BEST taste.... with the exception of my set (I don't think it deserves to be in that group, but that's just because I'm a perfectionist and I wish we could re-shoot it for SO many reasons). I hadn't seen 2 of those sets, and I just did. So thanks for pointing them out.... things to aspire to.
cat:
I feel like my BOX set is much more me.... much better, at least in terms of my part...
what's stellastar like? I've heard of them before.....
