Oops...
So I didn't realize how much time had passed since the last time I posted.
I am still alive, just in case there was speculation about that. (Although I doubt there was.)
Anyway, a lot has happened since I last wrote. Kind of. My internships have still basically been the same routine (film tracking, organizing closets and discs, running errands at TFF, selling tickets, setting sets up and taking them down, and eating lots of smarties at OHT.), but I've made some friends and seen a few shows and whatnot.
My best friend from home came to NY a few weeks ago, so on the 9th I asked for the day off and spent it hanging out with her. We got tickets to see Passing Strange (amazing show, I talked about it in one of my earlier posts), ate at a restaurant where the servers randomly broke into song (kind of like how Ed Debevics used to be but not as fun...and our server's name was "Flip" which cracked me up...) spent some time going to the Empire State Building before the show, saw the show, then finished off the day seeing Mary Poppins (amazing set. Fricken' Disney.). We were planning on going to the bar in Times Square that I really like after the show, but I had work the next morning and Rachel felt bad for keeping her cousin's awake since she had no key or anything and it was late. Then on Friday of that week (the 11th) we went to the Statue of Liberty. We took a bunch of pictures that were pretty ridiculous, but all in all it was a good time. We also found this AMAZING mediterranean restaurant near the World Trade Center site. We wanted to get food at the Statue of Liberty but it was super expensive and the lines were ridiculously long, so we went back to Manhattan to try and find something. We wandered around for awhile, noticing a lot of stuff was closed or didn't have anyplace to sit, when finally we saw a resturant next to a cafe (the cafe was closed) and decided to eat there. The food made us feel like we were back in Israel because it was so delicious. I want a falafal ball maker. Slash I want to learn how to make falafals and also hummus. Which are both made from the same things.
Anyway. My show tally for this trip goes a little something like this:
Altar Boyz, A Chorus Line, Passing Strange (twice this trip...SUCKS that it closed yesterday), and Mary Poppins.
Movie count: Wall-E, Hancock, Wanted, Dark Knight, and Mamma Mia (I've seen all of these in the past two weeks, I think).
I made some friends at the OHT, so we've been hanging out a lot. The one I've been hanging out with most is Rachel. She's really cool, and she's introduced me to some of her friends, so I've spent most of my time with her.
Kelsey comes to NY sometime this week, and Erik comes tomorrow, so maybe I'll get to hang out with either of them.
Kate and Laura are finally going out with Kaitlyn and me to lunch on Wednesday, and Laura is organizing a meeting with Craig on Thursday, so I'll get to meet him in my second to last week. Finally. I met Jon a few weeks ago, but I don't think he remembers me. I've seen him around a few times and he never looks like he knows who I am, but it happens. I told Kate this and she told me that he barely knows who she is, so I feel a little better.
I'm staying at Daniel's now while he's in Israel, so that's cool. His ceiling leaks. I thought they fixed that last time I stayed there, but apparently the problem is back, but this time in almost full force. The light showered the floor this morning. (I slept on the couch because...I didn't feel like moving...)
I'm really sore from yesterday's strike. My body is literally hurting. Kind of ridiculous, but whatever.
Who's reading this? I have three subscribers.
Ok, that's all for now. Maybe I'll update more often? Maybe?

Movies, Parties, Sandals...
Nothing really all that new to report. Still lots of organizing and ticket selling at the internships. Movie watching, too. Bart Got a Room = good movie. I recommend it. We also watched I'm Reed Fish (which has Alexis Bledel), but that one...it's weird. It's not bad, just weird.
Friday I saw my first Broadway show since being here! Yay to that. Jeremy came to visit me (I haven't seen him in probably 5 or 6 years) and we went to see A Chorus Line (with MARIO LOPEZ). Oh my gosh, his arms. I was in the balcony and I could see every move he made. He's a ham though, that's for sure. The show was good overall though. Audition truth, perhaps? Then we found a good Irish Pub and made friends with Dublin Dave, the bartender. Definitely going back there at some point. He gave us a free shot. Niiice.
McKinley's bday party was Saturday which was...a party. Ha. It was fun. But then I had to leave for work and it was raining ridiculously hard and I got soaked. Which was kind of ok because when we turned the fan on it actually cooled me down instead of just blowing hot air in my face.
My head hurts. As does my neck and my back and my everything. I need a massage. And to pull my throat out. It hurts.
Had dinner with Tema tonight, which was quite fun. I haven't seen her in aaaages. Then after dinner I wandered around union square for a little bit, then headed back home because my tylenol wore off and I started feeling awful.
Also, what is it about sandals that make them cut into your feet regardless of how many times you wear them? Old Navy, I'm talking to you. No matter how many times I wear my black sandals I can't wear them in and they cut my feet. So I have these big ugly red blisters in one part on both of my feet, making all other shoes I wear look ugly on my stupid blistery feet. Ridiculous.
Ok, I think I'm going to take a tylenol PM and go to sleep. 'Night.
