Oh, the local news never ceases to amaze me…

Weiner poopie…Haha.

Here are the latest episodes of two of my new favorite online videos.

Yahtzee is my Idol.

Poor poor Donnie. I suggest you watch this one from the beginning. It’s only four episodes in.

I treated my family to a trip to New York City to go see Cirque du Soleil: Wintuk. Tickets cost me well over $400 (and that’s not even including the Metro-North expenses), but at least we got awesome front row seats. I was nervous about the show since it got trashed in almost every review I read. The reality? For our first Cirque du Soleil show and generally low standards of entertainment, we thought the show was pretty awesome. Dialogue and songs were pretty bad, but no one goes to the circus to see those things anyways (maybe Cirque, but we’ll never be that posh). I thought the acts were fun and had me nervous for their lives. Isn’t that all that matters?

Anywho, the real purpose of the post was to post this paradox of New York City dining:

At Madison Square Garden, a bottle of water costs $4.25! Thirsty as we were, my brother bought two bottles.

My lunch, a delicious Bourbon Chicken Wrap with fries and a soda at the Manhattan Mall food court? $4.25.

My dinner, a huge bowl of really amazing wonton soup from some ghetto Chinatown Vietnamese establishment that only my family would go to every single time we go to NYC: $4. I’m surprised, after not having visited the city in at least 10 years, my parents still remember where the place even was!

Wary that a wonton soup dinner may not be filling enough, I ordered a rice plate consisting of beef and scrambled eggs for an additional…wait for it…$4.25. Turns out I barely touched it, the wonton bowl could’ve fed two.

Who would’ve thought I could eat cheaper in the city than in my workplace cafeteria? Remind me to drink my own pee Bear-Grills-style next time I’m thirsty in the city though.

5 minutes before New Years, I resolve to:

1. Redo this blog design. I’m already working on a mockup, and hopefully, I learn and will myself to code it out. And blog more.

2. Move out. It’s already marked on the calendar on April. But do I hold to the end of the year so I can buy a nice condo? Or do I rent immediately a lose a third of my disposable income?

3. Be young, but stop looking the part. This encompasses “the usual”, go to the gym more, eat smarter, read more books, enlighten the mind, body, soul, build confidence, etc.

Happy New Year!

Well, I turned 22, but came down with mono.

Scott and Katie got married! I went to my first wedding that I was directly invited to (even if I was invited due to begging).

Thanksgiving weekend in the city! Red Hot Hockey! Fun trip to the Met. Seasonal goofiness.

Desperation to move out is clearly setting in…

I paint my room. Truly one of my more exciting months…

Family trip to Montreal. I’ve either lost my Canada pictures or else failed to take any except for the one above.

Sadly, the only decent picture I take in July. Kailey clearly replaces Boston as my new muse.
