My fans are beckoning me, and by fans I mean fan, and by fan I mean Tiff. But hey, I'LL TAKE IT! (by the way...thanks Tiff for trying to out my blog on Facebook! haha!)
Anyways, I have a good excuse for my lack of blogs. I had a really rough week, work wise. I lost a few big deals that I had been counting on. Unless you live in the world of quotas and commissions you may not understand how traumatizing it can be. My main focus was on surviving the week without eating my way through NYC. The thought crossed my mind. I pass 15 restaurants on my walk from the office to the subway. I wanted to buy 10 pizzas and make a giant slip'n'slide out of them or stop at the chocolate shop and buy enough chocolate that I could bathe in it.
Kate even sent me a picture to clarify what I was threatening to do...

Good news is that I refrained from a pizza slip'n'slide and from a chocolate bath. In fact, I didn't cheat at all. I distracted myself. Took showers, went on walks with Penny and went to bed at like 7pm every night. Hey, don't you judge me. Desperate times call for desperate measures, people!!
So to distract myself on Sunday I decided to go see Titanic IMAX 3D with my best friend, Melissa. And it wasn't just a normal plain boring IMAX theater, it was the one at Lincoln Center which is like those old school original IMAX theaters that existed before it became all the rage. Back when only museums had them. It was SOOOO big. It was probably 5-8 times bigger than a normal movie screen. We sat dead in the middle and when looking straight you couldn't see floor, ceiling or walls... only movie screen! They did an amazing job with the 3D too. WAY better than Avatar and other 3Ds. People were actually reaching out and trying to grab things. You felt like you were on deck, at the dinner table, swimming through the water, in the submarine. It was wild. There was even an intermission! haha go figure.
However, I forgot one teeny tiny problem. Movie theater food is my arch nemisis! It calls my name. It screams to me. It assaults all my senses.
The amazing smells of salty buttery popcorn... the swirling of the icy machine... the perfect popping noise of each kernal...
The glorious colors of the candy boxes...
FAT PERSON SENSORY OVERLOAD!!!!!!!!!
It is a test of true self control. It was one of the first times I went to a movie without popcorn and a giant soda. I tried to tell myself it was not the end of an era, but a start to a new one! A healthy one! One full of water bottles and almonds at the movie theater instead! Anyways my point is that I survived. It turns out that you dont die if you dont get a tub of popcorn and a giant coke! Ha, who knew?!
Melis and I ran away from the food counter with our almonds and water bottles, put on our fancy 3D glasses, got the tissues out and enjoyed a perfect Sunday afternoon at the theater!
oh and like my new header thingy? I can't figure out how to make it smaller and less in your face... sorry
i was intentionally subtle as to not out your blog if you weren't ready! :)
