PR Golden Trophy
I’m not sure how many of you understand how PR works, but a boiled down synopsis is that companies hire PR firms to get them “free” media. The agency can create that “news” any way they want; events, surveys, stunts, contests, etc.
Today, I got my brand new client in the WALL STREET JOURNAL with a pitch email I WROTE which is like the ULTIMATE in PR gold. Excuse me...

Me: Ugh, we missed the elevator.
Coworker: Not that big a deal.
Me: Yes it is. I HATE these elevators. They take so long.
CW: Haha, you're ridiculous.
Me: No! First of all it takes forever for one to come.
Me: Then, you have to wait FIVE minutes or for 10 people to get on before it shuts.
CW: Actually, it only waits 20 seconds.
Me: Really?
CW: Yup. Like clockwork.
Me: I really feel like it takes longer when I'm in it.

some thoughts on football
when hurricane katrina hit the gulf coast in 2005, i was there.
i was living in baton rouge at the time. after the storm, my house was one of the few with electricity because it was on the same grid as the university. 12 of my friends lived in my 3 bedroom house for over 2 weeks. we helped run a shelter of 50 people who had nowhere else to sleep but a gym floor. i cooked meals, i shopped for...

For some reason, I can’t stop wishing I was in New Orleans this week.
Weekend Update
So it turns out that when you go on a hiatus from social activities, there isn’t much to blog about. However, my weekend highlights included:
A Saints win!!! (and making 5 of my single girlfriends go with me on the promise of so.many.cute.boys.at.football.bars)
Taking my picture with Governor Patterson at the Jets bar on the UES. BONUS - he’s not looking at the camera. Bless his...

Please say someone else watches One Tree Hill. Haley totally killed “We Belong,” by Pat Benatar. If this is not on iTunes I might cry.
Oh My Gosh…This is Amazing! I completely forgot that One Tree Hill was back on! Day off BONUS!!!

Texts from a Tourist
Jess: Hey - could you look up addresses of some old churches we could visit today?
Me: Sure... hold on.
Me: Sends over 5 churches and their addresses
Me: [2 hours later with no response] Hello. Are you alive? Did you find them?
Jess: Oh! Actually...this guy (who was young and stylish) stopped us on the street and said there was a promotion of 85% off NYC haircuts.
Me: What?
Jess: So we got cool NY haircuts for super cheap.
Me: This better be a joke.
Random Venting
Could be alternately titled, “I Just Made My 2010 Resolution.”
I have a lot of friends in the city, but I have never felt the stability in relationships here that I felt in past cities. There’s not a lot of consistency in who I hang out with or why. When I have a problem, I panic because I don’t want to ask favors from anyone. For the past 3 1/2 years that I’ve...

Dear Joy,
I’d officially like hire you to make all videos for my life, as it appears to be a talent of yours. In fact, if you could video-commemorate every year for me, that’d be great. What say you?
Xoxo,
Lemon
(Seriously, y’all, check it out.)
Cosigned. I just found Joy recently and I’m OH SO GLAD I did. Even if just for this video.
thebluehour asked: I'm a huge Tracy Morgan fan too. I still lapse into his Star Jones "I'm a lawyer" impression daily at work. But Brian Fellow is my fave skit ever. So, favorite BF episode?
Random Wednesday Fact
I have on the EXACT same outfit in this GPOYW and this one. I obviously don’t switch it up enough.
In related news - this is the 4th day in a row that I’ve worn a sweater dress and leggings.
