Things that still make me go "Whoa...
I live in New York City.
Fifth Avenue had the sidewalks blocked off today. Which isn't entirely unusual - it seems like half the time I'm up there there are blockades - either across the streets or along side them - for some event or other.
Turns out the blockades were up this time because Britney Spears is performing out there tomorrow. Now, I don't give a rat's ass about Britney Spears, but it's still kind of cool to me that I live in a place where it's just common knowledge that a pop star will be performing right outside of work on a Tuesday in early December.
I don't work tomorrow, however, so I will not be subject to the Britney pandemonium. Unless she really shows up at the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting on Wednesday, when I do work. Apparently last year, building security kicked everyone out of the store before/during the lighting because Christina Aguilera was there and they didn't want anyone (employee or customer) messing up their security.
New York is crazy intense sometimes. But I do still love it here.
Plans for tomorrow: finish assembling the goddamn invitations. I've been meaning to accomplish a lot more of that over the last two days but I keep taking ridiculous naps in the middle of the day. I just need to tape in the border cards, and then start printing out the actual invitation cards. And then actually design the rest of the inserts. I drive myself crazy sometimes.
