Sweet October

It's been a good October so far. I saw ElizabethTown the other night, which I thought was really good . . . a little off-the-beat at some points, but I like that. The art department gave me my own studio space to paint which is just amazing. The day that I was given that room was one of the best days ever, and that it was only given to 6 people in the entire art department makes me feel so good : ) . Come by and see me! The painting room in Calkins! { I'll be hiding in there a lot, haha } I went into the city about a couple weeks ago with Heidi, and that was a lot of fun too. We had a great lunch, walked around, got Phantom of the Opera tickets, walked around Central Park and acted like 5 year olds as we ran around FAO Shwartz. I think our time in that gigantic toy store was the highlight of our day. I got on the huge piano that you play with your feet and started jumping around on it and played some songs. I actually started to attract a crowd of like 20 people, it was hilarious, and Heidi got up there with me and we played Heart and Soul together. We got such a great applause, and I was thinking that 12 years of piano lessons finally payed off in the most surprising way . . . We then ran down the hallways with huge stuffed animals while singing the Star Wars theme song and I also rode on a hippopotamus rocking horse. You can pretty much do whatever you want in that store, no matter how old you are, it's so much fucking fun. I miss being 5 sometimes!

I also went to the city last night with Kait and Pam cuz it was Columbia University's homecoming. The football team won that day and we have a few friends there so we went and partied at the football frat house, then went to the bars after. That was a lot of fun too. Pam and I were dominating the beer pong table, and maybe being a little obnoxious, but it was a good time. And it's back into the city this coming Friday too for some dinner and to see a modern dance performance with Heidi, Kait, Pam and Gina : )

Now it's shower time and a fun little road trip with my wonderful group of guy friends, and Heidi of course, over to Connecticut for a crazy Cuban pig roast on this beautiful day with my crazy Cuban friend Andrew and his family. " happy sweetest day. " - k.h.
