Sniff, sniff

I just want to say that I've never appreciated people wearing cologne and perfume as much as I have since I've been in NYC.

I have a pretty sensitive nose, and I've always been a "smelly" kinda girl-- always sniffing things, whether it be candles, soap, laundry detergent, you name it. As a kid, I loved going outside of our house where the air from the dryer came out. I would sit there forever and sniff the warm air.

Anyways, the point is, this city is full of a lot of... smells. Delicious food, car exhaust, roasting peanuts, burnt hotdogs, sweat, fresh fruit, urine, fish markets... you get the idea. Some good, some very, very bad.

All I'm saying is, I have really learned to appreciate the guy/girl with all the perfume on. Some might complain, but I say it's a nice break. Who doesn't like to sit on the subway next to fressia and flowers instead of, well, some of the other smells I've mentioned?

Spray on perfume lovers, spray on.

Celebrity Sightings

I've only been in New York City for a few days, and I've already spotted a few famous faces! Yesterday I walked past the young actress Abigail Breslin, and I'm proud to note that I was a lot taller than her. Yay for being taller than an 11-year-old!

Then, on my way to dinner, I walked right past Kate Flannery, who plays Meredith on the hilarious show, The Office. I even turned around and winked at the camera when I walked by. Hehe.

I also spotted Jerry Stiller when I was visiting a few weeks ago. Unlike the others I saw, he wasn't surrounded by cameras and people trying to get autographs-- he was humbly walking along the street with a backpack on, seemingly trying to decide on a place to eat lunch. Cool.

Let the adventures begin!
