Ode to Times Square
Times Square is just as spectacular, if not more so, in the daylight as it is at night. Now that I get to actually SEE it in the mornings, I am very impressed!
Musings from the Queen of Queens, or My 6 years of living in Queens and greater NYC, where I moved to work for the water department and ended up, among other things, traveling the world and appearing on a billboard on Times Square.

I start my new job in midtown Manhattan tomorrow. It is located between Times Square and Central Park. yay.
I was on 30th Avenue by Athens Square Park last night when I saw a girl wearing a karate outfit, roller-blading across the street.
I have been accepted as a mermaid in the Coney Island Mermaid parade! Now -- to organize an outfit where I wear seashells as a bra!
Today at Grand Central Terminal, there is a wedding cake display and tasting! YUM! Over 50 cakes! That's great -- but what are all the other people going to eat? ha ha
At 10:30 am, I saw a man at the corner of E 63rd Street and 3rd Avenue, holding up a cardboard sign that read: "Can you spare some change so I can buy pot?"
Today I met my friend EXD and her dog B in the Central Park Conservancy at E 105th Street.
A guy just walked by the female cop at 30th St Ave and 34th Street in Astoria and said to her "You're too pretty to be a cop, you know that?"
HADITH OF THE DAY: NO RACIAL SUPERIORITY
I went to Japas 55 in Times Square with a friend for a surprise birthday party. It is a Japanese tapas bar with kareoke rooms upstairs, which you rent per head per hour.
I was coughing so much in my apartment tonight that I decided to go out and get some meds at Rite Aid. Out on the street, I continued coughing so much that I actually activated my gag reflex and threw up in my mouth a little.
I have only been in NYC a year and I am already recognizing the faces (and music) of the buskers in the subway systems.
My sister graduated from The American University today, from where I graduated in 1995 and my other sister in 2000. So basically there has been one of us at AU since I started there on roughly August 26, 1991.
There were 2 blasts at the British consulate in midtown manhattan (about 50th and Lexington) early this morning. The British elections are slated for today as well.
I was on the Long Island Railroad into New York today. As we passed behind Shea Stadium in Flushing, Queens, I saw a swan in a marshy lake there.
I attended a meeting of the Business Network International group, which was interesting.
