Solar Flare?

Supposedly there is something in the air. Something that allows a broom to stand straight up by itself. Check it out. How weird?


Brennan was skeptical. So while I was home for a quick trip to see the fam I tried it out. The trick is to get the broom facing true north south, I guess that's when the solar flare comes in. Who knows, but it looks real creepy just standing there.

New York State Psychiatric Institute

This summer I will be working at the New York State Psychiatric Institute as a social work intern on the Eating Disorder Unit. Yikes! The NYSPI is one of the leading research institutes in mental health. It provides FREE treatment for those participating in the research programs.

I have worked with at-risk youth for the last five years, and although I love working with this population, I'm ready to venture out. What will pull me out of my comfort zone, challenge me, stretch me, and rock my world more then severe mental health? I want to learn more about human behavior, what makes our brains tick, what causes a psychotic break, and how to work with those in the midst of one. It's rigorous, intense, and scary. And that's exactly what I need. I think I'm ready, but we'll see.

TJ Maxx

I was killing time at the TJ Maxx in Columbus Circle the other day and walked by these. I saw them, thought nothing of it, and kept on walking. I then slowly stopped, reversed, and said, "Wait a minute...I'm in New York, not Roseville. What the heck!?!"

How cool is that? So weird. Minnesota is just that cool.

Nets Game

Do you know you can get Nets tickets for only $5? Crazy. So we took the train to Jersey to enjoy some bball.


Reid and Pete really hit if off and were enjoying the game intensely.


Brennan and I on the other hand were bored. Well, I was bored and roped Brennan into my boredom.


This is what happened.


And then I ask Brennan questions like this: "Would you still love me if I looked like this?" And he normally replies, "Of course." But, this time there was some hesitation. I understand. About the game, I'm not even sure who won. Oh well. Go Nets!
