Holiday Countdown

12. I’m being visited by the ghost of Beastie Boys past.

First, I meet Mike D’s nanny at a party. Then, a couple of days later, I see MCA in a Dunkin Donuts. How did I recognize MCA, you ask? Well, if you had a teenager-of-the-80s/hip-hop tape sneaking/breakdance wannabe big brother that you worshiped, you would be able to pick a Beastie Boy out of a crowd too.

11. Blizzard ’08 hit Hoboken.

I imagine it looks like this throughout the rest of the city, but I haven’t left a five-block radius in the last three days. (why? See #10)



10. I’m sick.

I think I’m up to day 10. I took Friday off of work hoping that a day in bed would help, but I still have a nasty cough.

9. I may be sick, but I can fake well with the best of them.

Because it's not a New York Christmas party, without a gaggle of Clements grads:


Alamo Drafthouse Christmas Sing-Along. (This may be the cheesiest photo ever taken):



8. My agency forewent the traditional holiday bonus for a socially conscious t-shirt.

They also asked us to flush every third time, so it's my fault for having high expectations.

7. The annual apartment holiday party went off without any angry neighbors, broken dishes, or hurt feelings.

6. Villanova? Boo.

Sarah, Shannon, Keri and I went to the UT vs. Villanova game at Madison Square Garden. Apparently, Villanova fans feel a lot of animosity toward Texas. They picked fights. They drank too much. We won (the game and life).

5. I passed Sam Mendes and Kate Winslet on the street.

4. Chuck Nice gave me a bear hug.

We did a shoot last week for an upcoming Cheerios promotion. Watch WE tv on February 3rd to see the masterpiece.

3. Richard’s Group successfully defended The Home Depot business and won Farmers Insurance. Congrats!

2. J&J pulled its Centocor account from DDB.

The entire account team has been let go. Eek. Either my gut feelings are very, very accurate or I am very, very lucky.

1. Only two more days until vacation!

I misread your "Chuck Nice..." post and freaked out for a minute because I thought that Chuck Norris had given you a bear hug. That would have been AWESOME. I've gotta admit I was a little disappointed when I realized I'd just read it too quickly.
