I do have things to say, not complaints or updates of any sort, just my thoughts on things alas I have had no time to gather them. So while I do that, I have for you today some random photos of wintertime things.
Firstly, Jared sent me this photo of the winter wonderland that is his apartment in Brooklyn. I received some exceptionally celebratory news from Jared in that he is now officially the Assistant Line Builder for Steve Madden shoes. In true Jared fashion, he quickly bamboozled his way into Corporate with his winning wit and impeccable heel click. In essence, his job is to help create the next shoe trends each season. This might, I said might, result in traveling to London, Milan, and somewhere in Indonesia for research.
If I recall, he started working for Steven Madden in September of 2012.
A year and three months -he goes from selling shoes to designing them. Us Union's consistently scorn Jared for putting some kind of sick trance on people. People give him free things, invite him to restricted areas, and completely disregard the rules in order to better service Jared. We roll our eyes at his free meals and extra portions. Scoff at his making new, life-long friends in under thirty minutes. Don't even flinch when he finds a wad of cash on the sidewalk.
You know what he told me his first thought was when he got the job?
"Oh the Union's are gonna hate this!"
Uncle Dave sent me this new classic...
And speaking of Dave, I LOVE this picture...
Musical friend Julie had a great show at Surf Bar this weekend and I was so excited to see all of my old bar bums again... except that they kept asking where Ari was. "She's not here anymore!" I shouted in anger. "She left me!"
The show did make me miss Ari in fact because A) what's the fun in being a solo groupie? and B) as with any show at the Surf Bar, the best part is watching the crowd. If ever there was a place for people watching, it is inside these mismatched wooden walls, covered in dollar bills and photos of local surfers. A grungy jewel of bar.
In other Tidbit news, we had the most delicious dinner at Ellen's last night. Chris made truly the best meal. Short ribs and mashed potatoes. And don't get me started on that goat cheese appetizer.
I'd love to give you an update on Ellen's new married life but I just haven't been around enough. All these jobs keeping me away from my life!! I have seen lots of giggling out of Ellen and a very stern glare from Chris when she mentioned getting another cat. Also, she does dishes now. How about that?
