A Week In The Life...

I've been wanting to write this week...however, I found that I haven't had much time to devote to what I wanted to write...and then when I did, I was at a loss of what to write about. Go figure.

This has been an eventful week: Jack Bauer made his return, I have taken up knitting, I saw one of my favorite music groups, went to a museum and my boss met me dad. Where to begin.

So last Monday we had a day off as it was MLK day which was cool; it's always nice to have a little extra time to myself. I spent most of the weekend on my own as my roommate went home. I enjoyed the time I spent on my own but was thoroughly frustrated with getting together with other people...well, one person in particular to be specific. I know that friendships start and stop, and run in cycles but this is not the first time she has done what she did this weekend. She turned up in the city to hang out with her other friends then basically squeezed me in before she left. I was not happy. I feel like there are defining moment in friendships when you know that somehow, things are now different. This was how I felt last weekend.

Birthright Israel Alumni has all sorts of events and one thing they sponsored was a knitting class which I attended and am now in the process of making a purple wool scarf. I've never made things like that before...so I'm psyched :o).

Ah yes, there was an industry party this Thursday and my dad and my boss met for the first time. On the up side, my boss didn't do anything silly which made me less apprehnsive...but he did sort of joke about my dad getting him a job in the future. Oy.

Rockapella had a show in NYC on Saturday and I can't say it enough times: those guys are brilliant entertainers and top notch musicans. Go see them (www.rockapella.com) My mom asked me if I thought entertainers deserved what they got paid and I said it depended. As long as they have the tlent and the showmanship to back it up, I say bring it. Thise guys are not young; probably between mid-thirties and forties, yet they put on a show that's more energetic and entertaining than most shows out there.
