odds and ends
It's been awhile, and currently all I have are a few Random J&D in NYC Fun Facts.
1. I've never liked chihuahuas, that is until I met a really charming one who happened to be *this* close to being *the* chihuahua in Legally Blonde! His career was cruelly cut short by a knee injury.
2. One of my former students who is a young actress was in an episode of Gossip Girl. (Blech)
3. Someone I know managed to escape being mugged at knifepoint in Hell's Kitchen at 1:30 AM by
a) advising his teenaged attackers to stay in school since "it will end up paying off more than mugging in the long-term" (this guy swears that engaging attackers in dialogue is proven statistically to better than not)
b) convincing them they were amateurs since only one of them had a knife and was holding it in an amateurish way
c) relying on his Thai boxing skills to out maneuver them, and giving him time to get the heck on outta there!
An early pre-Christmas treat: we threw a birthday/Christmas party for a good friend yesterday.

i'm sure you will be happy to hear that i do not watch Gossip girl - i find it rather blech too. i'm considering giving up on Grey's Anatomy too.
