What Did You Do Today?

[krulltime]

Ok sorry I was bored and misserable today since is a monday (and is raining)... So I wanted to know something interesting (or not that interesting) that you did today. :D

Please tell us...

[Gulcrapek]

Waited for a call from my almost definite roommate, went to the garden and picked a little, went online for a bit, and not much else.

[krulltime]

^ I was online almost all day... Hehehe... I am that bored. But I did order just plain cheese pizza... mmmm... I haven't eat that like in years (honestly).. it was really that good.

[NYatKNIGHT]

I got back from vacation yesterday and spent a brain-dead day catching up on e-mail, bills, appointments, laundry, etc....

I like vacation better.

[BrooklynRider]

I went to work and it was actually cool outside I was very relieved. It was the first day in over a month I did not bring an umbrella to work.

I ate a bagel for breakfast and a salad for lunch. I had steamed veggies for dinner. I went to the bank three times to make deposits. In between all of that, I worked.

I'm eating Quadratini Italian cookies right now.

[BrooklynRider]

... before I go on extended vacations with other friends.

Where you going on vacation?

[NoyokA]

Where you going on vacation?

I'll be in Philly tomorrow. Ill be in Pittsburgh at the end of the month.

[Gulcrapek]

Speaking of vacations.. I need one. I haven't exactly been doing much, but I need to get away from here... this is the first time in around ten years we haven't gone away some time during the summer. Work and school schedules in the family ended up preventing anything.

[BrooklynRider]

I started a new job, so no vacation. But, I spent Sunday out at Sagamore Hill in Oyster Bay, Long Island. Home of Teddy Roosevelt. Now, THAT'S a beautiful home. And, he was very involved in the design. I recommend it, if you need a day trip.

[Gulcrapek]

Yes, I'm 18, but I'd really rather not go by myself...

[stache]

Well it's tomorrow now, but yesterday I made two necklaces, went to the library and grocery plus did aerobics. eh -

How do you get there (without a car)... Long Island railroad?

[BrooklynRider]

I have a car, but Long Island Rail Road goes to Oyster Bay or Cold Spring Harbor. You can take a cab from either.

[JMGarcia]

Yesterday, I went to work, browsed the internet ;), came home and went to the dry-cleaners, then went the gym and got flirted with :), then got my haircut. After getting home I had chinese food delivered and then watched a little TV - the Six Feet Under recap I had recorded earlier.

[TLOZ Link5]

Yesterday I went to work (today is my last day), watched auditions for the play that they're doing (I work[ed] at a theatre company), got a call from two friends I worked with and went down to meet them at Union Square, saw an anti-war protest there, went to a play reading at work, met up with some friends of one of my friends and took them to a hookah bar, escorted them back to Grand Central, went back to the Village with one friend who lives in my neighborhood and had falafel, then took the subway home. Went to sleep around 3:00 am.

[Gulcrapek]

I got a phone today.. my first cell phone. I also emailed more people who have rooms available.

[krulltime]

What? Are you moving out of your place?

[Gulcrapek]

Verizon.

Krull: yes, if I can find somewhere to go... I'd rather not commute an hour and 20 minutes each way to school.

[Schadenfrau]

I'm at work now and am going to see Darwin's Nightmare tonight at the new IFC Center.

[NewYorkYankee]

Gul, where did you decide to go to school again?

[Gab]

Maybe I'll go to Quintal pool close to my apartment. Today I spent my time at the huge library in Montreal and here's the official website http://www.bnquebec.ca/portal/dt/accueil.htmlPS: I think the tax payer got their money's worth.

[krulltime]

^ Looks like a real nice Library... :)

[krulltime]

Today I walk around Queens... I visit my old Junior High school for the first time since 1990! PS. 125... It seems like the added more to it. The back used to be playgrounds... now there is a building.

[Gab]

^ Looks like a real nice Library... :) Yes it is.

[Gulcrapek]

Mr Yankee - Honors College @ City College of New York

[Schadenfrau]

Schadenfrau, do you work in Manhattan?

I do.

[ryan]

...tonight at the new IFC Center.

How was the Darwin? I loved Me & You & Everyone We Know, and I liked the space (felt like home)

[Schadenfrau]

I have to say, that is probably the best theater I've seen in the city. I like the mood at Cinema Village, but it's so cramped.

Judging by all the reviews I've read, I must be the only person who didn't swoon for Darwin's Nightmare. I thought the director bit off far more than he could chew. He managed to hit upon poverty, environmentalism, globalism, AIDS, prostitution, murder, corruption, arms trading and pretty much everything else you can think of, without hitting the mark on any of the subjects.

[Gab]

Today I played volleyball in the gym with 3 people and then nowadays I'm in the huge library.

[NoyokA]

Where you going on vacation?

Just came back from Philly.

HAD A BLAST! my face doesnt look it, I guess you could say I was recovering.

Myself (center) and friends:

[NewYorkYankee]

Mr Yankee - Honors College @ City College of New York

Which CUNY? Is it in Manhattan?

[NewYorkYankee]

Stern, you look NOTHING like what I pictured. What a surpise, I couldve seen you to look more like the guy on your left.

[Gulcrapek]

City College of New York. Part of CUNY, the flagship campus.

[NoyokA]

Stern, you look NOTHING like what I pictured. What a surpise, I couldve seen you to look more like the guy on your left.

I've learned that people online seldom look like how you envision them. Its interesting that you pictured me looking more like the guy to the left than to the guy to his right.

[Gulcrapek]

Today (yesterday) I woke up at about 4 PM (not sure why...) and went to Manhattan to see yet another place. I liked it lots. A little too far from school but not that bad. The parent has a problem with three of the roomies having a beer in hand. One of them is leaving anyway though. It's also rather expensive ($850/mo excluding if I want cable internet). But I am getting kinda desperate for a place to live nowadays...

[BrooklynRider]

Stern, you look NOTHING like what I pictured. What a surpise...

I agree. I think avatars have a way of skewing a person's perspective. I don't know if I really expected you to look like Keanu (your old avatar), but I formed an image in my head. (Poor Zippy, what will we think when we actually see him).

Now, is "Stern" a name or an adjective?

[Gulcrapek]

His name... by the way Stern, you should put that pic in the Forumers' thread also...

[NoyokA]

I was hungover. I have better pictures of myself. That I can post if you all so desire.

[NewYorkYankee]

Oh ok, good luck man. Today I went to work (I work at a bank) for the last time. Im taking the next two weeks off to relax. It was a sad moment, I loved the job. But, you got to give up things to get something better!

[NoyokA]

Here's a better pic of me.

http://img397.imageshack.us/img397/9391/andrewroom1vg.th.jpg (http://img397.imageshack.us/my.php?image=andrewroom1vg.jpg)

[NewYorkYankee]

AND I might as well add, I thought Stern was an adjective or something other than your name.

[NoyokA]

AND I might as well add, I thought Stern was an adjective or something other than your name.

My handel is Stern. My full name is Andrew Stern.

[NewYorkYankee]

Ahh I see, well my name is Brandon Andrew. Not like anyone cares, but just so ya know.

[NoyokA]

Where do you work? How old are you?

Perhaps you should tell us about yourself before you ask for personal information from others.

Yeah Law&Order I personally told you to stop asking private questions, if you keep it up you might face administrative action.

[Gulcrapek]

Now I'm at John Jay college... I got my laptop from phxmania2001... hehehehe...

[NYatKNIGHT]

Nicely done. Your internet connections are paying off already.

[krulltime]

Now I'm at John Jay college... I got my laptop from phxmania2001... hehehehe...

Congratulations!!! ;)

[Gulcrapek]

Thanks.

Today I went to my first English/composition class and it was ok, the prof. is pretty funny. The room sucks (small and windowless) but he's already requested a change.

I also got keys for my place on 147th and went to an art supply store on Broadway at 112th to buy stuff for arch. - $262.90 worth of stuff, I carried this huge back with things sticking out and held three taped boxes/tubes under the other arm and wore my bag on my shoulder. Needless to say my arms were a little burny by the time I got back to the studio. I then started on my studio HW - annoying, and the TA thinks I'm not going in the right direction but the assignment is kinda vague and it's the first one anyway.

Speaking of studio.. Stern, are you in it?

[NoyokA]

No, but Im around, surprsingly I have more jitters than I would expect from myself, I guess you can't tell because people are really nice and cool.

[Gulcrapek]

What's your schedule? You're not in my studio, humanities, or English class, but you might be in NSS?

[phxmania2001]

Now I'm at John Jay college... I got my laptop from phxmania2001... hehehehe...

Yes... you rep that nice iBook of yours... :D

[NewYorkYankee]

Oh Stern, your in college too? I must be missing something. Should I have went to John Jay instead of Pace? haha

[Gregory Tenenbaum]

Hasselblad Outing.

Thanks to all who came, except the guy who BROUGHT A FRIKKIN "LEICA" - What is that thing? FFS RETURN IT NOW TO TOYS R US WHILE YOU CAN and bring a CAMERA next time.

Great day for all concerned.

[Gregory Tenenbaum]

OMG it's been a year already.

What did you guys do today?

[musicial]

following the quotes and markets of stocks. oil and gold is decreasing, NYSE does not give trust for a short term for the whole world, all emerging markets collapse down including turkey. till the end of this year japan can increase the nightly interest rate one thick higher....etc. etc. etc. god! this business upsets me any more... I think I am gonna die young!!!!!!!!:(

[milleniumcab]

I drove 139 miles, in and around the city and still found time to log in...:cool:... A little less or a little more but will most likely do the same tommorrow...:)

[milleniumcab]

I think I am gonna die young!!!!!!!!:(

Only the good die young... Are you good musical?...:p

[musicial]

Are you good musical?...:p

yeap! but it could be better.... anyway! thanks...

[Ninjahedge]

I still feel sorry for Brenda and Eddie.....

[milleniumcab]

I still feel sorry for Brenda and Eddie.....

Forgive my ignorance but who is Brenda and Eddie?...

[Ninjahedge]

Forgive my ignorance but who is Brenda and Eddie?...

They were the popular steadies and King and Queen of the Prom!


Silly! :rolleyes:

[lofter1]

I went to see a preview of the revival of "A Chorus Line" on Broadway ...

No doubt about it -- Michael Bennett was a creative & choreographic genius.

[milleniumcab]

No driving today. Car was in mechanic shop all day, maybe tommorrow too..:(.. But that's allright , it gave me a chance to catch up with paperwork and some other stuff...:)

[wonder]

Well I revived this thread, and went grocery shopping earlier. Now I will make crepes with nutella and a little confectioners sugar on top, yumm. :)

[MidtownGuy]

Worked all day today, painting sandpipers for a beach design. I'm still not done, they need feet. And a few more seashells in the sand.

[Gregory Tenenbaum]

Realised I was a Missing Person on the Wired New York Forum.

That's a first.

I guess I'll have to post something on that thread letting everyone know I'm here and that Candyman didn't get me (see the thread about favourite movies for that).

G.T.

[Fabrizio]

This morning I finally decided to get rid of a HUGE glass jar full of Lira in loose change. The Lira is out of circulatation but the Bank of Italia will still convert them into Euros. They just dump them into this machine that sorts them out.

I put the jar... must have weighed at least 30 kilos... into a backback. I hauled it across town on foot, pausing now and then to rest, and to answer nosy questions. I finally got to the bank, set the knap sack down on the counter, unzipped it and found 30 kilos of loose change mixed with shards of broken glass.

I was informed by the teller that, "the machine does not accept broken glass".

[ablarc]

^ Funny story.

[Gulcrapek]

Got out of bed at 1PM, went to Jersey for cousins, came back late-ish, came online and vegetated. Alos worked on a city grid on sketchup (kind of stupid using a 3d program for a 2d thing).

[BrooklynRider]

Just got in from eating at Thalia and seeing the new Broadway musical "Spring Awakening" - a great restaurant, a phenomenal show and the hottest ticket on Broadway.

It was the Christmas gift from my partner and me to my mom, sisters and brother-in-law for helping me out during this recovery from being hit by a car. Being suburbanites steeped in Olive Gardens and Disney On Ice, they hated the restaurant menu and hated the show - and were considerate enough to let me know it.

Next time a speeding car is heading toward me, I'm gonna roll myself under the front wheel to ensure I don't have to endure another evening like this.

Oh look, it's New Year's Eve! Guess what people aren't getting calls from me at midnight?

[Gulcrapek]

Ack, sorry..

[ablarc]

Red and Blue America.

Lets, see ... the next election will heal the rift ... Right ?

[Punzie]

I was invited to an April Fools Day party and I put on my Joker's costume. I vowed not to leave my house, however, until I paid all my bills. When I was finished, so was the party.

[clubBR]

I was chilling on 23rd and lex and i got a call from my girlfrend who had gotten into a car accident on the henry hudson pkwy. so i took the 2 train to 158th where she was taken by the tow truck. then we got picked up by a friend who drove us home. Right when I got home my sister needed a ride to school so i drove all the way down to brooklyn, and now im home

[OmegaNYC]

Going to my damn forensics class tonight. :mad:

[wjfox2007]

Went to a job interview in Central London.

The weather was nice for once, so I did some photography afterwards.

[BenL]

How did it go?

[wjfox2007]

Just found out I didn't get it.

To be honest though, I wasn't expecting to. They were a high profile agency with some amazing clients and I was rather nervous during the interview. Normally I'm cool with interviews and stuff, but there was just something about this place that made me feel intimidated. I got the impression they wanted somebody who was more extrovert.

Anyway... I'm actually thinking of setting my own company up now and working from home. :cool: In the last year I've become totally disillusioned with the whole 9-5 office grind, to the point that I'm rather sick of it. I'd rather be my own boss, set my own rules, and do what the hell I want to do. I'm writing a novel as well, so being at home will allow me to concentrate more time on that.

[Front_Porch]

Final (hopefully) interview today with major architectural firm.

Fingers are crossed.

[NoyokA]

Brooklyn, you're an architect?

[Joelio]

I sat on my computer all day grieving over the fact that I wasn't going to the movie "Black Sheep" (which isn't being released in any other country except NZ :p ). Although I did produce some pretty cool things for my WTC 3D model core... :D

Yes! Total reversal of fortunes for me. I've never been happier and I feel great!!!

[kz1000ps]

Great to hear, BR. It sounds like you're exactly where you want to be!

[WebErr]

Today I want to play billiards, drink my beer and rest from this work.
And I'll do it very soon! :p

[ryan]

By the way, I got the job!!

Congrats! Life always gives some good to make up for the bad.

[MidtownGuy]

Glad to hear it BR! Wishing you lots of success and happiness in your new job.

[BrooklynRider]

Thanks everyone! Today I bought two new pairs of shoes for work and a new jacket. It was actually a lovely day to be walking around in the city.

[WebErr]

We have 8 hours difference.
When you working, I sleeping... :p

[Joelio]

WebErr, where do you live?

Congratulations Brooklyn Rider!! I raise my glass to you... (or, I would, but I'm 6 years underage :( ). Wait... I don't even like beer... OK, I'll raise a glass of Coca-Cola to you. :)

Joelio
Russia, Yaroslavl. :)
GMT+3.
Now my work day is just start. ;)
Here is 10:30 now.

[Joelio]

OK. I'm west of the US, I thought you might be towards my end of the world - instead you were the opposite direction. :cool: It's quarter to seven at night here in NZ.

[Punzie]

Joelio, you're GMT +11. You're on the same side of the world as he.

[WebErr]

Joelio (http://www.wirednewyork.com/forum/member.php?u=8312)
Hello, New Zeland !
If I dig across Earth (not through the center) then I will come to you. :)
What kind of beer is in New Zeland ?

Rapunzel (http://www.wirednewyork.com/forum/member.php?u=8869)
Actually New York, Yaroslavl and whole New Zeland make very nice triangle. ;)

[Joelio]

Ummm... I don't know.. I don't drink beer myself (I'm only 12, and from what I've tried it's... very bitter...) But some of the major NZ brands are Speights, Lion Red and Heinaken. If you Google (http://www.google.com) them or search Wikipedia (http://www.wikipedia.org) you should be able to find some information about them. :D

Oh, and I'm not implying that I've been to a pub (for someone like Lofter, who would most likely make some kind of comment on why I've been drinking :D). My dad gave me some when I asked if I could try it (and I hated it).

[Punzie]

New York is "GMT" -4 right now, because we're on Daylight Savings Time.

(When we are on Standard Time in the fall and winter -Northern Hemisphere- we are GMT -5. That is our "true" time zone.)


You guys have to memorize this because you're on a NY website.:D

[Joelio]

Lol, you're still on Daylight Savings? We finished about a month or so.

[WebErr]

Rapunzel
we're on Daylight Savings TimeDo you know why it's happen? ;)
Then you must know something about Daylight Savings Time in large countries (from West to East).
Yaroslavl and New York always have same time differrence. :)
7 hours difference, except few weeks twice per year. :)

Joelio
Well, what interesting happens in New Zeland?

[Joelio]

Hmmm... Not much. That I can think of. OH, down in Wellington, Peter Jackson (my idol!!! Seriously, he's like, THE BEST) makes the best films ever.

Sometime, later in life, I'll be the nest Peter Jackson. I'm not sure if you've heard about my plan to make a docudrama of 9/11? There's some info on STR's "WTC (Original) 3D model" thread. I may make a seperate thread in a few days to follow my progress - like a forum Production Diary.

[Punzie]

My educated guess, then, is that Joelio is now at GMT+12.
He was at GMT+11 when he was on Daylight Time. Capice?

[WebErr]

Joelio
Peter Jackson the best, of course!
If views of NZ is so good as it's shown in the "Lord of the Rings" then you live in beautiful place! :)

Rapunzel
Hmm... GMT is Grinvich Meridian Time, but it is in U.K., where twice per year changing time too. Is GMT changing?
I don't know, in Russia all orient to Moscow time. And time periods calls "Winter Time" and "Summer Time".

[Joelio]

Yes, well, the Lord of the Rings was mostly visual effects.

Nah - our country is a very nice place to live. There is a LOT of greenery (forests, bushes etc) and the urban areas are very colourful and active.

But anyway, we're straying off the subject - to revert back, today I went and explored downtown Auckland for locations for my 9/11 film (mainly the staircases in Aotea Square for the WTC internal staircases - there are some very cool stairs for underground carparks - and also, and underground carpark for the setting of the 1993 bombing).

WebErr, PM me if you want to know anything about New Zealand/Auckland :)

[Punzie]

New Zealand is one of the few beautiful, unspoiled areas in the world that are habitable. (Of course, Antarctica is beautiful and unspoiled, but what human would want to live there year round?)

For Joelio and WebErr:

Today is the day that the Tax Man cometh to the U.S. All Americans have to give the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) either their tax returns OR applications for tax extension deadlines. That is the easiest way I can explain it.

One of my careers is part-time accountant. Today I am filing for tax deadline extensions for my clients. Yesterday I filed for extensions. The day before I filed for extensions... etc. etc. etc. All my clients get extensions.:)

And so it is time for me to go and work without sleep until 12 midnight!

Being 12 years old at Intermediate School (Years 7 to 8, in the US Grade 7 - 8... I think...) I only understood about half of what that involves. But, I do have this to say:

GOOD LUCK, stay focused and HOPEFULLY you will be allowed to rest when it's all over!!!

[Punzie]

. . . HOPEFULLY you will be allowed to rest when it's all over!!!
Who wants to rest? There's plenty of time to rest when you're dead!:)

[Joelio]

Yup, it's night time now - I have to go to bed in... an hour and ten minutes. But, as you say...

Who wants to rest? There's plenty of time to rest when you're dead!

But I may forget about being dead and just stay up until ten o'clock (1 hour 40 minutes away). I've been doing it every night since the start of the school holidays, and since this is the last week of the holidays, i might as well enjoy it. :D

Went to the Mermaid Parade today.
They need more trash receptacles out there.:eek:

Also, Nathan's never lives up to the hour you spend in line.

[macreator]

Came back from a trip down to Florida. Got bumped to first on the way back which is always nice.

[Punzie]

There was beautiful weather for the Mermaid Parade this year! Sunny in the 70's...:) MG, did you get lots of good camera shots? Are you going to post them?

[MidtownGuy]

Actually I didn't take any photos at all!

[Punzie]

Oh well... looking forward to seeing Edward's.:)

[ablarc]

Actually I didn't take any photos at all!
A camera can be such a burden.

For years when I traveled I left my camera home.

I found, however, that the film in my brain is subject to fading.

[MidtownGuy]

Yup, it was definitely a conscious decision to leave it home.:)
Just wasn't in the mood, though I knew there'd be plenty of great shots to be had.
There was lots of energy out there, and the full range of body types with all the piercings, tattoos, and tits you could imagine. Local sales of pasties must skyrocket around this time! Also managed to spot a couple of muscleheads in an old fashioned brawl on the boardwalk! Ahuh, a crowd of onlookers gathered around and the whole bit. Wished I had my camera for that. Coney was definitely in rare form today.
Despite the big area boarded up by Thor, there was so much going on; thousands enjoying the beautiful weather and grand spectacle of humanity.
BUT... after a few hours of walking on the wild side, I was definitely ready to head back to the relative calm and civility of Manhattan.

[ZippyTheChimp]

About "Red Army": Nothing interesting too. I have very ill eyes (near-sighted) for to be drafted in Russian Army. In Russia army is not by the contracts, but draft every man 18-27 years old, who is not ill, not studying in university or colledge and have not child younger than 3 years old.
It is bad inheritance of U.S.S.R., atavism, contract amry is much wiser, imho.

Rap: they will probably have him asassinatated if they find he's been posting here. As a precaution, perhaps you could delete his posts BEFORE the authorities get in touch with you?
I was near to be killed by polonium-210. But my dog ate my sandwich. I am still alive and search new dog now. :D

weberr: on behalf of the forum, I have to apologise that some here have a wacky impression of life in modern Moscow.

I think we can blame it on those Bullwinkle reruns.

WebErr, if the Russian government ever kicks you out of the country, I'll be one of the people who helps you get settled in New York.:)

P.S. There's something else for you to do today. Check out Eugenious's new thread:

I did this today.

Picked up the block yesterday and the bushes today. I was surprised by just how easily (and quickly) it went together. Now to do nothing for the rest of the day.

Cool, you love gardening, too! Before I move from Nassau to Queens, I must snap pictures of my beautiful garden and post them on the photography forum.:)

I walked east on 34th St. until I hit the river and watched the Macys fireworks show. It was amazing!! Our whole bodies were thumping. The fireworks were truly spectacular

Had brunch with a friend in the Meat Packing District. Window shopped around Soho. Went home, bummed around the apartment, surfed the web and watched TV. Went out to dinner at The View (http://nymag.com/listings/bar/the_view_lounge/), where we could see fireworks shows in several different directions. Walked home in the rain.

I put my Papasan chair in my backyard and have been on my laptop reading the posts on this forum and surfing the web for a few hours now while my Boxer pup Raven runs in the yard collecting tree sticks and other stuff to bring me :D

Soon i will be ordering some dinner since I'm being lazy and don't feel like making anything today.

Today i checked out of my hotel in Hong Kong, just grabbing a coffee in an internet cafe and then will be catching the train to Beijing (24 hour journey).
A bit more interesting than a normal day for me at home.

How's the interne censorship situation in China?Notice any evidence of it?

How's the interne censorship situation in China?Notice any evidence of it?

I was in Hong Kong for a week, and used the internet a couple of times, but didn't find any evidence of censorship at all. Apparently in the rest of China they have a rather 'ad hoc' approach to the internet, some sites are banned, others allowed, and this can vary from city to city. In Beijing i only used the hotel internet to check my yahoo mail and didn't spend much time on the net apart from that.

As for what i did today - i was in bed. I'm working night shifts this week :(
