pod the friendly robot

feeling much better now after a long and relaxing weekend. got the new iPod set up, hung out with Patrick, jogged both days (7 miles), did a lot of cooking and even cleaned the apartment. last night's dinner was excellent: chicken stuffed with leeks, bresaola, manchego, lemon zest and parsley, wild mushroom risotto, grilled vegetable ratatouille and pumpkin custards with cinnamon ice cream and crystallized ginger.
there was a shooting on second street early on saturday morning. the gunshots woke me up. i'd never heard that sound before, and soon there were police cars whizzing by in every direction. some 22-year old kid, shot six times in the back and legs and died at Methodist Hospital up on 7th Ave a few minutes later. such a shame.
i've been bad about posting because of last week's Ad Week conference and guidelines launches and then getting such a bad cold i was totally out of commission on Thursday and Friday. all i have to say for myself is that i'm a happy girl and if my rent check doesn't bounce, i'll be even happier.

knock on wood...
