Kramer's' Racial Tirade

Incidents like this is how people start to get paranoid, thinking all
people are racist.
With those statements, he might as well have put on a triple K outfit
and started burning crosses.
If he had not been a closet racist, he would not have even thought to
say that stuff.

I was amazed shocked and saddened. Just goes to show what true colors
come out under adversity. I thought part of the comedy "game" was to
come back at hecklers and beat them at their own game.Not do all and say
all to belittle a person mercilessly. I'm not really hurt or offended by
this as much as I am shamed. Ashamed that a "professional" had to resort
to that level of offense to "win" the arguement. So put him on the same
shelf as Mel Gibson as someone I will never be entertained by again and
save the apologies for someone else

No more Seinfeld for me. (If you are at work, turn your speakers down or
put on your headphones because this is loud.) . . . . . . .

I'm sure everyone has heard about this outrageous display of racism by
now. Click on the link below to see it for yourself. I can't believe I
used to watch Seinfeld. Maybe this explains why minorities were so
underrepresented on that show. This is absolutely unreal.

NYC trip part II

****unfortunately there are no pics because I left my camera****

I wanted a Coach bag and I still had to buy jewelry. Well my budget for
jewelry was $1 per set. After a few stops, I was beginning to think that
I was being unrealistic. Then I realized that I was not looking in the
right places- because I hit JACKPOT on Fordham road. There was this
wonderful little shop that had ALL the goodies I was looking for. I
ended up buying more than $20 worth of stuff. Gifts for everyone.

Then I went downtown to find my find my next purchase: COACH bag. I
found a nice brown bag that was to die for. It looked like it would be
the sister to Gina's bag. Que lindo! It is at a good price since it is
last season style. Still quite fashionable to me. :)
Then David and I walked down Broadway and checked in the shops along the
way.

Note for future reference: Across from Crate + Barrel on corner of
Broadway, there is a subway station with the D line. It makes it very
easy to get the Manhattan. One train all the way from Bronx. Woooohoooo.

What I love about NY: FOOD
I had Dominican breakfast (eggs, bacon, papas, y pan), arroz con
habichuela, arroz con frijoles, tostones, platanos maduros, oxtails,
Jamaican chicken patties, and a sausage dog with everything.
What I missed having: gyros from 170th and pizza from Fordham Road (When
I went to Fordham, I just had breakfast).

Sunday ~~~~ Time to Go ~~~~~ saying until the next time and not good bye

I went to Grandview Cong meeting at 9.30. That was nice. I saw so many
old friends. This time I got email address and phone numbers so that I
can keep in touch. Everyone asked how long I was in town. I felt bad
that my answer was "I leave this afternoon". So next time I will call
people and let them know that I am coming around.

Isn't this delicious? Yummy. 

NYC trip

I had to go to NJ for a 2-day meeting this week. So I took off Friday and headed to NY to see Lillie and David. Well on Friday, I wanted to go to the Chocolate Show (www.chocolateshow.com) in Manhattan. It was awesome. But before I get to the show, let me talk about how we (David and I) got there. Well, we took the A train to 59th street. Then we had to take the 1 train to 18th avenue. We made it to 59th okay. While we were waiting for 1 train, the policeman said that there would be no 1 service downtown. So we were going to wait for the A train to come back and take to 42nd street. So then the policeman made another announcement saying that there was NO downtown service with the station. Funny sidebar: A lady asked the policeman why, as if she was going to get the policeman to change his mind. So since we had to leave the station, David suggested that we walk down to 18th. So we walked alllllll those blocks. It was not like we could not take public transport. But we were feeling fancy free. Well, by 34th street, we were tired. We went to the Manhattan mall. We finally made it to the chocolate show. It was great. People were giving truffles left and right. I made myself sick eating so much chocolate and drinking wine.

This is how you know you are know you are in LA. I would have stayed so that I could get in the video and be on TV...Nana and Aunt Norma were rushing me.
