Your picture didn't work, Ellie. I'm watching the DVDs, and it's sad that the end seemed to be looming even from the Pilot w/ J.J. already closing in and the network bitching at them. Very sad, indeed. I love the Lion King episode!

Ha! Love that quote, Mabel. Except maybe it's too generous.

Edit - at least this picture works! Hurrah!

Bring on Celine! That K***e photo was just unforgivable!

(But please make it post-2002 Celine, and not pre-eyebrow tweezing Celine!)

So we've narrowed down the hotel options to Grand Union Hotel and Astor In The Park.

http://www.hotelgrandunion.com (We'd try for a triple.)

http://www.nychotels.com/astorrooms.html (We found a room for something like US$187 + tax on cheapseats.com.)

Yeah, but it's kind of...umm...far, isn't it? (107th St?!)

Oh. Yeah, maybe. How is Beka going to escape from her folks?
Remember at one time there was talk of you phoning them to put their minds at ease...*stifles laughter*

[mabel]

Posted: 9/22/05 at 11:03pm

Yeah, 170th...That's a bit of a trek!

Edited because there are no dollar signs in streets. Let that be a lesson for you all, my children!

Beka's going into the city with a friend, and then they'll go their separate ways for the day (the friend has friends to meet up with here too).

I'm new to this Hotwire thing, but it's an interesting concept. You choose the locations, and they'll categorize it by star rating and by price, but they won't tell you which hotel it is. Do you think it's reliable? There's apparently a 3.5-star hotel for $180/night in Times Square...

Oh, I forgot to encourage you re: your college applications!

Hang in there! I have faith in you! Insert cliche here!

At least once the applying is out of the way, you won't have to think about it for a while.

[mabel]

Posted: 9/22/05 at 11:12pm

I've never used Hotwire, so I have no idea how reliable they are. So, Beka's staying overnight at the hotel too? What's her friend doing?? Is she staying w/ the friends she's meeting up w/?

Ugh. Let's not talk about the applications. I remember what bummed me out all last fall and spring again. At least I don't have the LSAT stress...DID I TELL YOU THE EX E-MAILED ME ASKING FOR LSAT HELP LAST WEEK??? (The ex aka "MF", who dumped me in bed on our anniversary and then went gallivanting with my best girl friends in the wake of the break-up??)

Okay, back to the hotels...

I don't think I'm up on this particular bit of drama, but: Jaw, meet Floor!!! That's ridiculous!!!!

No, beka's not staying overnight, but she'll hang out with us for a good portion of it, and then we'll see her to her train and wave good-bye, and then resume our hotel fun!

You guys wanna help me look? I'm on Orbitz and Hotwire now, but I haven't checked Hotels.com or Travelzoo.com yet. Pretty please?

(And have I dropped enough hints about a cake from Payard yet?)

Payard? A cake you say? Hmmm...first I've heard of it.

You know I'd love to help you peruse hotels, but alas I'm afraid it's way past my bedtime.

Oh, so the deal with the ex (Steve)...we were best friends in high school (he was dating my best gal friend, who I'd introduced him to), after they broke up (shortly after graduation), we started going out as we started college. Long story short, we broke up after a while (he was really heavy into his Jewish frat and partying, and we were at different colleges so...), got back together, broke up again (this time in bed...on our anniversary...and I was stuck paying for dinner that night...as I did almost every date...), and we didn't talk for a year. Suddenly, he emailed me out of the blue last January, saying he wanted to mend burned bridges and have me as his personal confidante, and conceitedly e-mailed me his personal musings and addressed them as if I was his diary, with no encouragement from me. After a while, he said he had actually contacted me because he was doing really well in his life and needed someone like me to bring him down back to earth, and I had "failed" to past his mustre. I stopped responding. Every email from him was condescending, obnoxious and self-centered. Oh, and he never had any interest in pursuing law, and told me he didn't think I'd make a very good lawyer. This was all in January of 2004, and we never contacted each other again.

And then this happened:

Subject: Tiff - I Need Advice


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey Tiff,

First of all. I'm sorry about the last e-mail I sent you in our brief of exchanges. Truth be told what I said about wanting "philosophy information" was crap... At the time I was going through rough things with a girl I was seeing, was heavily regretting breaking up with you (your threat/statement came true), and I was jealous that you were in a happy relationship..

Anyways, before I come off as too stalkerish - Vicky already called me that when I told her I was going to e-mail you... I was wondering if you could give me some Law School Admissions Test advice. I'm writing in October (cue Violins) and I'm curious as to what methods you used to study... In particular, during the actual test itself, what are some insider tips.. Like rules or tricks that you wish you had known before..

Vicky tells me this e-mail address might not work, so I'm going to cut it short here. I tried e-mailing you 3 weeks ago on a yahoo account and it didn't work. So here's crossing my fingers.

Here's hoping this reaches you,

Steve

This F*CKwad wants me to help him get into LAW SCHOOL after all he's done to me? F*CK YOU, F*CK YOU, F*CK YOU.

(Still angry. Sorry.)

Oh crap, gotta catch The Apprentice (taped the east coast airing). BRB!
