Got that new J Lo song stuck in your head? It might not be just because it's catchy, you could be having musical hallucinations!!

Phyllis tagged me, so here we go:
10 Years Ago Today: I was on summer break from college, working at Toys R Us (which is more hellish and stressful than you could possibly imagine). Working out everyday and in the middle of losing 100 lbs. Lollapalooza rocked this year, and Portishead, Bjork, and Sebadoh were in heavy rotation.
Five Years Ago Today: I was plotting my climb up the corporate ladder (it worked, I guess, I've been promoted four times since then). Living in Hoboken with my shmoop-dog, and going out to Vinyl and Roxy just about every weekend.
1 Year Ago Today: I was in Madrid and London!!!! I took the summer off from school and we walked through a huge chunk of Manhattan and Brooklyn on the weekends.
Yesterday: Slightly hungover in the morning and was inexplicably exhausted all day, left work shortly after five, came home, took a nap, went out for dinner, and slept some more.
Today: Went out for brunch at this amazing Cuban place that just opened down the street, went to Lowe's in Red Hook to get a new pot and some potting soil, made it home before a sneak attack thunderstorm (it really came out of nowhere), getting stuff done around the house, waiting for the other half to get off the damn phone so we can figure out what we're doing tonight.
Tomorrow: Going to open houses in the Chelsea/West Village area. Replanting my basil plant, which is thriving!!!!
5 Snacks I enjoy: Tortilla chips with guacamole, tortilla chips with pico de gallo, tortilla chips with hummus, tortilla chips with baba ganouj, tortilla chips.
5 Bands That I Know the Lyrics to Most of Their Songs: Nirvana, Radiohead, the Pixies, A Tribe Called Quest, Massive Attack
5 Things I Would Do with a $100,000,000: Buy a four story town house in the Chelsea/Far West Village area, fix up my Mom's house a bit, invest in an emerging markets hedge fund, spend a year travelling.
5 Locations I Would Like to Run Away to: San Fransisco, South Beach, London, Madrid, Barcelona
5 Bad Habits I Have: Forgetting to call people back, forgetting people's names when I meet them, throwing my clothes on the chair instead of hanging them up when I get home, shaving too fast in the morning, hitting snooze too much in the morning.
5 Things I Like Doing: Hanging out in the citay, going to bars/clubs with friends, dancing, going on vacation, shopping.
5 Things I would Never Wear: Boat shoes, a cowboy hat, leather pants, anything from International Male, a bathing suit.
5 TV Shows I Like: The Simpsons, Barefoot Contessa, Martha Stewart Living, Futurama, The Price is Right
5 Movies I Like: Psycho, Pulp Fiction, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Clueless, Night of the Living Dead
5 Famous People I would Like to Meet: Madonna, Bjork, Henry Rollins, Courtney Love, M.I.A.
5 Biggest Joys at the Moment: My shmoop-dog, my iPod, my cat, my Game Boy, my 30 gigs worth of mp3's.
5 favorite toys: See above.
5 People to Tag: Hmmm... Kreblog, Underground Dragon, Contagious, Life With Basu, and Lnotes (so she'll update her blog!) :)

Wow, it's been a while since I've been wary of taking the subway in the morning. There weren't too many people on the train this morning, so I wonder how many people decided not to chance it and called in sick today. The cops were out in full force, which was a bit reassuring. As much as I love the subway, it was hard to not feel a bit vulnerable walking down those stairs today.
