Not a super fan of anyone involved, but this looks really good.

Overheard In New York
Once in awhile, this site has some real gems. I don't read it as often as I used to - why? Not really a concrete reason, there are just too many good sites to remember.
Here are some of my favourites from over the years:
Man: You look like the black Sigourney Weaver.
Woman: I'm not black.
Man: Are you Sigourney Weaver?
-- Oasis Coffee Shop
College guy #1: Yo, do you know who directed Jaws 2?
College guy #2: Yeah. Oh wait, you mean the second one?
-- 23rd & 3rd
Guy #1: So she fine?
Guy #2: Yeah, man, and get this, guy: she's got full benefits!
Guy #1: Yo man, you better marry that shit!
-- Elevator, 42nd & Madison
Crazy man: Why did Freddy Krueger kill Martin Luther King? 'Cause he had a dream!
-- 1 train
Boy: Mom? Mom? Can I get this?
Mom: No.
Boy: I see you as a stranger now.
-- Burlington Coat Factory, Atlantic Center Mall
Dude: Look at those people there on the bench?
Chick: Which ones?
Dude: Those six people, all sitting there, all talking and animated and engaged with each other, each a representative of a different family of hair colour. We totally just walked through their sitcom and we didn't even know it.
-- Washington Square Park
Man on stoop on cell: Son, it sounds like you got yourself an STD.
-- Windsor Terrace
White girl: I'm sorry, I don't have any money.
Black guy: I didn't ask you for nuthin', lady!
-- 57th & Lexington
Man: Oh my God, it's sold out. What do we do?
Woman: I don't know. Suicide?
-- Film Forum, Houston Street
Woman: Hi!….Oh, I thought you were someone else.
Man: I am.
-- 52nd & Broadway
Conductor: Watch your step as you exit the train, and if you're late, just remember that life is a lot like being on this train: we may not be there yet, but we’re getting there.
--2 Train
Oh Mandy - The Spinto Band
Still one of my most favourite music videos to watch. Just gorgeous.

Eye Tips of the Day
- Line the lower rims of your eyelids in white to look more awake.
- Hold a small post-it between your lashes & eyelid when applying mascara. The sticky strip sticks to your finger and lets you really work the mascara in.
- A splash of olive oil on a cotton ball removes eye makeup.
- For a more dramatic curl, use your hairdryer to heat up your eyelash curler for a few seconds.
- A bit of shimmery white eyeshadow dusted in the inner corners of your eye sockets will brighten up your whole face.
Who's The Boss - 'Misery' Episode
I love this Who's The Boss episode. Always makes me laugh. Well, just a few lines specifically (I'm not going to say them here because then you'll hear me say them and they'll lose hilarity in repetition), but just a good episode. Love Tony Danza. Love him in the later seasons especially, he got better with age (in the same way that Cory's brother Eric got ridiculously funnier in the last season of Boy Meets World). Anyway, if you remember liking the show, and have 22 minutes to spare - it's a good watch.

Tissue Box = Plastic Bag Holder
Do you keep your plastic bags? I used to just hoard them all in one large bag and keep it in my closet. UNTIL NOW THAT IS.
This is a genius way to store them - just use an old tissue box that's finished tissuing. So much prettier. (Okay, "genius" is over-selling it, but it's a damn fine idea.)

Somewhere inside of me there will always be the person I am tonight.”
