Times Square

The brightest, Disney-esque part of Manhattan is called "Times Square." But have you ever noticed that when you say the intersection of 7th Ave and B'way out loud you pronounce it "Time Square" ?

Originally the site of a former NY militia soldier John Morin Scott, who served under George Washington, the property was bought by the Astor family, and then the New York Times built their headquarters at the downtown edge of the intersection; soon be addressed "One Times Square." Todays iconic light displays have their origins in 1904, when a local bank at 46th St and Broadway put up their first electric sign on the corner.

And apparently some plays happen around there too, but they're way out of the student budget so I only go on a TKTS ticket :-)

Cutest Post Ever

Prada Pumps

This office manager in my office was just given adorable black patent leather pumps. They're even Prada. It was a gift from a friendly, small dog toting, gay man who seems surprisingly down to earth.

I want my gay pal (attn: Alex W.) to drop by with designer shoes on occasion, and let me pick up his dog (attn: not your real dog, he's too heavy to hold).

All he wants for Christmas

Some guys like year long Playboy subscriptions, others a video game, event a console, but not my boyfriend. He's made his wish perfectly clear:
