…And All I Got Were These SICK Photos
So I went to Comic Con! It was a total fluke – my roommate wasn’t feeling well, my date cancelled on me, and she insisted I take her 3-day pass for the day until she felt better. I don’t know how I will ever repay her – it was a total blast! I’m definitely going…

Little Letters
Dear Spanish Karaoke: I appreciate what you’re trying to do there. But please, keep it between the hours of 10:00am and 11:00pm. This 2:00am and 7:30am nonsense is really inconsiderate. Sincerely, Ay Dios Mio. Dear Weather: I was hoping for a little autumn before we jumped right to winter. Coldly, Layering Up Dear Manhattan, I…

Past Life Regression: Musical Theatre Edition
Okay, I have to come clean. Yes, there is a new man in my life. Well, not so new. But he touches me like nobody else can, and has since I was 13 years old. This guy: Source: google.com via Rachael on Pinterest It’s Andrew Lloyd Webber, duh. Nothing like a sparkling ALW ballad to…

Always Do Your Own Laundry
Saturday morning laundry is a ritual: roomie and I carry our own things around the block to the laundromat, hang out and talk and dish, and wash our clothes. It’s very fun, very Manhattan, and it’s nice to have clean clothes. This week, however, she’s out of town! Lonely laundry for little yours truly! Or…

Take Back The Blog
Source: toothpastefordinner.com via Meghan-Sara on Pinterest A lot of people have observed that, in the blog world, when you talk candidly and frankly, it is a double-edged sword. Some people (me!) love reading blogs where you get to know a person honestly, flaws and all, and share in their life for real. Maybe other people…

My Little Life
I’ve been so busy going through the days that I barely stop to think lately what I’m doing with my life. That is, I’ve been so intent on surviving that I’m hardly pausing to acknowledge how great it is. Surviving moving, long weeks, losing my voice, hurting my foot, more long work weeks. My life…

I Believe…
I Believe in Science. I believe there is so much more to understand and so much more to discover. I kinda believe one day we will unlock the key to superhuman abilities. I Believe in Playing Devil’s Advocate. In listening to people but always pushing them to examine the motives behind their thoughts and keep…

Always Brush Your Teeth
On Tuesday, I woke up in a bit of a funk. No, not just a funk. Worse than a funk. As I told my coworkers at the start of my third nine-hour shift that week, I felt entombed in a granite version of myself lazily yearning to break free in slow motion while everyone and…

Say Something
Source: retronaut.co via Dayle on Pinterest “Ladies and Gentlemen, this is an important announcement from the New York City Police Department. Protect yourself. If you see a suspicious activity on the platform or train, DO NOT KEEP IT TO YOURSELF…” I cast a glance to my left. There was a bag sitting by itself on…

Always Carry A Pen
During my walk through Central Park yesterday on a rare afternoon (ish) off, I was feeling brave and free. I had one hour to stroll to my tea-date with my roommate, and only the slightest idea where I was going in the park. I emerged onto a familiar landmark and saw, to my delight, a…

Imagine
Imagine you get out of work, and the sun is still shining. Imagine a cool breeze and hazy sunlight with the crisp chill of fall stinging your nose and cheeks. Imagine taking a walk through Central Park past smiling faces, laughing children, and really REALLY cute upright bass players. Imagine you’re listening to Pandora radio…

Cuz I’m A Winner
True story. Whilst walking with my new roomie from BB&B (Bed, Bath, & Beyond) to DSW (Designer Shoe Warehouse) on the UWS (Upper West Side), we came across a mobile makeover station. New roomie wanted to get a mini makeover, so we chowed on lollipops (the candy, I can’t escape it!) and chatted with other…

Panty Watch 2012
I can’t believe I haven’t blogged about this yet. If you follow me on Instagram @meghansara, you know that my new neighborhood has some, er, quirks. But none are perhaps as interesting as the panties across the airshaft. I’m not a creep! I’m not sitting by my window with binoculars to spy on the neighbors. …

Winning Friends and Influencing People
If you give your neighbor some candy, They’ll bring a bag of organic treats to your door. You’ll reciprocate by bringing Jell-O shots. They’ll invite you to a show at Webster Hall and send you home with coffee and books. Bolstered by this success, you’ll take Jell-O shots to the music students on the fifth…

Nice, Like Rice
In the middle of the bassoonist upstairs practicing, and getting ready for work, this happened: [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3nX5uYLbaY] Please ignore my almost-gone voice and my thumb in the frame most of the time.

Settling In
Please excuse my absence while I make my new apartment my home. The internet has FINALLY been set up, and though it has some quirks, I am thrilled that my new home is slowly taking shape. I haven’t forgotten about you, Blogland, I’ve just been on a hiatus! I can’t wait to show you all…

Home is Where Harlem Is
Yes it’s true! I got the apartment and I’m moving in this weekend!!! This tiny bedroom is all mine. I hung my curtains and it became a sanctuary. BRAND NEW KITCHEN! Big empty living room, what’s to do? Throw a picnic to congratulate myself on being a grownup. NYC, I’m here to stay.

Bad Reputation
I am getting somewhat of a reputation at work. For better or for worse, the month of August has been one of me coming even further out of my shell. Having “lost” so much this month (and still not having anywhere to live next month, eek!), I have more of a devil-may-care attitude towards everything…

Back in the New York Groove
Last night was a little scary. I realized at work that I have no “official” place to live in two weeks. Long story, won’t get into details, but basically, some plans fell through and I was afraid. Afraid that all was lost. I was thinking lately about loss. It seems to me that the more…

Everybody Wants to Rule the World
Bonnie at Life of Bon is hosting a sweet link-up today! And since my internet is working again, I have rejoined the world. Now I get to pretend to rule it. First order of business, the internet always works! How do you like me so far? Also, 24-hour laundromats. Guess why they’re called “business hours”? …
