Thanks! Any interesting new shows on Broadway this fall? I'm thinking about coming back in October or November.

Actually, I haven't kept up with what else is playing since I saw FELA. I don't see anything else interesting that I would like to see right now. I still haven't seen FENCES yet and don't know when I'll be attending another show in the next couple of months due to other plans. I also haven't seen the King Tut exhibition yet, because when I was supposed to go, I ended up in St. Thomas, VI instead.

I believe Fences ended last month. But, yeah, I saw the King Tut exhibit last year when it was in Dallas. I was disappointed tho cuz I thought it was the one I saw in the late 90s but it wasn't. The previous one was better IMO but I can't remember the name of it.

Doin' the patio(s) thing with some friends on Sat.

Friend in from Ireland next wk.

Enjoyin' the fine weather, on my terrace, with my new Samsung N210:

Watchin' Big Brother!

Listenin' to Howard on SIRIUS!

Takin' some vacay time in Sept.

Going to see Norm MacDonald!

I should probably also mention that this year's TIFF will feature a film starring Winona Ryder, Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis. Its title is Black Swan (or, as I refer to it: "THE GREATEST MOTION PICTURE EVER MADE"). :norm:

Well...

I'm not having a fabulous "SCNDLS Summer", but I'm doin' my thang!

**Summer school just ended last Thursday, so I'm FREE until Labor Day!

1. On June 19th, I went to see Jill Scott/Maxwell in Philly.
2. On July 10th, I took my mother to Citifield to a METS game. They lost, but she had a great time!
3. Last Saturday (July 24th), I went to Atlantic City and saw Carlos Santana.
4. On August 19, I'm going to see Tears for Fears at Hammerstein in NYC.... then again on the 21st in Montclair, NJ.
5. Last Thursday I saw a dress rehearsal of "Trust" with Zach Braff off-Broadway.
6. August 24th is my birthday!

But most importantly, starting tomorrow I'm going to spend my days in the library working on my dissertation. (I had to deal with Financial Aid today )

I am determined to make Fall 2010 my last semester at Rutgers!

(forgot one) edit

I flew to Miami for Memorial Day weekend 5/27 - 6/1

DJ'ed a Prince Birthday Party on June 6th

Flew to Honolulu for 2 weeks on June 8th

Saw J'Davey live a SOBS in NYC on June 29th

Been working pretty much since Hawaii

Ending it all with a countrywide hop New York to Fort Lauderdale to Seattle then back to New York starting on the 10th of September

Uh not too much at the moment.

But on June 25th we went to see Stevie Wonder @ Hyde Park in concert and traveled to London with the fam. VIP tickets.

Also saw corinne bailey rae

jamiroquai

mary mary

then two weeks later we went again with the fam to the North Sea Jazz in Rotterdam. Saw Buddy Guy Joss Stone and Stevie Wonder in concert among others (Ben Harper sucked pretty bad I actually fell sleep)

Got to talk to Stevie's guitarist and backup singer for a bit. Great folks.

Just came back from our Lake Tahoe trip which was great.

Extended family having medical procedures done this week so 'n that those all come out okay.

Starting back to school stuff. This is my oldest's Sr. year in HS, so

Decided that this year I'll be taking advantage of the local harvests, so I'll be taking time over the remaining summer weekends to find fresh fruits and veggies.

I'll be working my ass off. We're heading into the run up to the Emmy's, Fashion Week and our next campaign. While you all are sunning your butts on the beach, I'll be drowning in Winter 2011.

I'm "camping" with friends and my bf this weekend. I say it in quotes as I'll be sleeping in a king-sized bed in an air conditioned camper and we'll have showers available and all that.

The following weekend I have a big block party with local bands and all that kind of fun.

The weekend after that it's off to Indianapolis for my very good friend (and former org mod )'s 40th birthday party.

And the weekend after that I'm taking my niece to see Lady Gaga. She's sooooooooooooooooo excited!

I've had the busiest time of late. My social life of late has gone a bit mental.

I got back from Gran Canaria a couple of weeks ago.

The week after, I went camping for a long weekend near Morecambe.

Last weekend I went to a wedding in Harrogate and to the races at Thirsk.

This weekend it's a friends birthday party on the Friday and another friend's party on the saturday.

The week after it's my friend's wedding.

The week after that, I'm off camping again, off down to Bury st Edmunds to a party and am hopefully going to be buying a beagle pup.

First week of September, I have a fancy dress birthday party to attend.

2nd week of september, my friend's having a party in Hemel Hempstead

3rd week of september, is my friend's baby boy's christening.

And then in october, I'm hoping to have a week away to Normandy.

aaarrrrrggghhh!!! too much to dooo! Gonna be flat, stinking broke... But it's gonna be a hell of a couple of months

Our office is closed this week, so I have the week off. This afternoon I'm going to the spa to use up a gift certificate from my birthday: facial, mani/pedi, and back massage. I'll probably spend the rest of the week trying to take care of little errands and stuff I never have time to get to.

This weekend I'm going to Boston to rendez-vous with my mom, who will be there on business. We're going to go to the Fogg Museum at Harvard.

Later this month I'm going to St. Barthelemy for 6 days. I'm super excited to hit the beach.

I'll also be glad when the current exhibition at the museum where I give tours closes. I'm so tired of it -- I was there every weekend in July (normally I'm only there 2 days/month) so I'm definitely looking forward to not having to give tours until the end of August and a new show.

They still haven't fixed that bug?

It's like watching Mock The Week on Dave. Same old fucking news every time you go there.

This summer I've also engaged in my favorite past time . . . shoe shopping!

Looks like the fall shoes are gonna be FIYAH!

Tried these on in black and they were TOO sexy!

Got these last month

You're going to want to take these to a good cobbler before you wear them and have the heels checked. Three of use here bought these last winter in different locales and all three of us ended up with broken heels the first time we wore them.

I'm guessing you mean the the Louboutins? They are really the worst quality "designer" shoes out there. I had to rebuild the other pair I have before I even wore them. I said never again, but I had to have these.

I've never had any problem with my Diors though, they're great quality shoes IMO.

Aww, thanks hun! They're my pride and joy.

My lil nephew Cai is a complete H-A-M and already a ladykilla. He's always rubbing women's legs and telling 'em they're feet are pretty an shit. That boy craves female attention and he's only THREE! I can't believe I already have great-nieces and nephews.

Looks like you're having a grand summer BTW

Yes, that's the pic I copied in my reply. Actually, that was the first pair I've ever had any issue with. I do know a couple co-workers have had issues with them when they've bought them from non-authorized sellers.

I'm not a fan of Dior shoes. The fit is always off.

I hear ya. :thumbsupL

Your lil nephew already a straight Romeo. WOW. He's gonna get alot of attention from the ladies. Be sure to "stilletto" some crazy women when the time comes. With your shoe collection, it will be easy to set aside some "killer shoes"

Yep can't complain about my summer.

Seems like yours is going well too!
