Frozen state?

So, apparently New York City is in a "frozen state", which means NOBODY is hiring at the moment. This is dangerous! Learning about the Great Depression during the 1920's in high school, it seemed unrealistic by today's standards, and it was just plain crazy to think of something similar happening today.

HOWEVER. I am so disgusted with the economy right now, that it's making me physically ill. What kind of world are we living in when all Starbucks locations in NYC have halted their hiring process because they are laying off all of their employees? Are you serious?! I can't even get a job at McDonald's!!

I'm sitting here in Panera and looking at a group of kids whos parents all bought their designer coats, their iPhones, their cashmere Diesel gloves. They will never have to worry about words like "economy", or "depression". I'm not looking at them with envy, I'm not so sure that I would enjoy being one of those kids...

...but right now, a pair of cashmere Diesel gloves is looking pretty good :D

Floja Sunday

Once again, it is a LAZY Sunday.

I have no plans, although I really want to get out of the house and grab something to eat. I'm thinking maybe a cafe in SoHo? Sometimes I just love to get off the train and walk around Prince Street- there is so much to find in that part of town!

Last night I went to visit a friend that works at Pinkberry. What is Pinkberry, you ask?

Pinkberry is a store that has mastered the art of selling spoiled milk to thousands of people every day. I don't understand it. It's supposed to be "fat-free, frozen yogurt", but we all know how fat-free yogurt tastes like sour milk...

Pinkberry sells you a cup of sour milk, and fresh fruit toppings. In WHAT world do people find this appetizing?? Thank god I got mine for free! :]

On my way home, I totally saw a gorgeous view of the city standing at the train platform on Astoria Blvd. I was going to take a picture for all of you, but my camera's battery was dead :[ Sorry!!
