40 Feet from Denzel

Last week I finally saw A Raisin in the Sun! I was able to get a seat in the 10th row, just right of center and it was amazing, The Ethel Barrymore isn’t a large theater, so I’d imagine that there is not a bad seat in the house, but I was exceedingly pleased with…

BK Hip Hop: Roots & Future

One of the great things about NYC is the abundance of free things to do (which seems to increase tenfold in the summer!). I’m lucky enough to live a short walk from two awesome spots in Brooklyn (BK) that put on some really great events at no or low cost. One is the Brooklyn Academy of…

Super Bowl XLVIII Champions, Seattle Seahawks

I’m still amazed by by team’s flawless performance. Our 43-8 victory over the Denver Broncos has finally, I think, given the Seahawks the recognition they deserve on the national stage. I won’t rehash what you’ve already heard on every news outlet, but will give you my version of history. The week leading up to the…

My Seahawks – NFC Champs

As my grandmother affectionately calls them, “My Seahawks” won the NFC Championship title in a tense, competitive game against the San Francisco 49ers – which means they are coming to my new city to play in this little game you may have heard of called the Super Bowl. I am beyond excited and beyond disappointed…

Never Too Late…

…to figure out how to properly execute moves in this game called basketball that I’ve been playing for the last nine years. So I signed up for a class that will basically be like playing for a real team – except there’s only one practice per week instead of five, no additional strength training, and…

A Rant: Sportsmanship is Not Overrated

Now that I’m living away from home I find myself on facebook a lot more in an effort to keep up with everyone’s lives since I don’t have time to talk to everyone – this three hour difference sure does put a cramp on coast-to-coast socializing. It has been great because I miss my friends…

Two Month Anniversary

Today is the two month anniversary of being in my new place, so I thought it’d be appropriate to share some updated photos with yous o you can see the slight change from the nothingness there was when I moved in.    As you can see it’s come a long way but I still need…

New City. New Year.

Happy New Year! Personally, I’m looking forward to a fabulous 2014 here on the East Coast, full of new experiences. Looking back on my 2013 resolution I think I failed a bit! I didn’t take the fashion chances that I would have liked to during the year, but I did take a few these last two…

New Chairs & New York Muscles

It’s starting to feel more like a home! I ordered an accent cabinet and two dining chairs online – I was particularly excited about the chairs because I so desperately wanted to be able to sit at the table and have some yogurt and granola while reading The New Yorker. When I opened the chairs…

Munchkin’s Visit Part II

Tuesday night we went to our first show on Broadway! I met a woman in West Elm who told me she’d just seen Annie and loved it, so we went with that. The lobby was quite small, but your could take food and drinks into the theater (much different than the 5th Ave back home) and…
