Things to do This Summer

*shrugs* I like making lists. It keeps me mentally organized. Plus, it's never too early to start plotting, er I mean planning.

1) Go see bodies the exhibition at the seaport. I've had this on my to do list for 2 years now! That's a little ridiculous.


2) Attend some really good concerts. Preferably outdoors. Bonus points if it's music festival. *sighs* I wish they would bring Amsterjam back to Randalls Island, I actually had a lot of fun the 2 years it was there. (overpriced beer aside)


3) One word: Roller coasters. The bigger, the faster, the better.


4) Go to the shake shack. Everyone raves about this place. I love burgers and I love shakes so it seems a perfect fit. I don't however love ridiculously long lines.


5) Continuing on the food theme, go to brunch at Maracas. Nothing makes 90 degree weather better than Mexican food and unlimited frozen strawberry margaritas. Plus being drunk at noon can be oddly liberating


.6) Movies movies movies. I'm actually eagerly anticipating more than a few big blockbuster releases this year. The Dark Knight, The Incredible Hulk(Norton can do no wrong in my eyes), Ironman, Indiana Jones IV,Sex and the City, Hancock, it's a veritable smorgasbord of goodness! And I'm not bootlegging it either. I'm going all out, full price, possible even opening night (because I'm a nerd like that) and testing my endurance for uncomfortable theater chairs, unruly children (because you know inconsiderate parents will bring their 5 and under doppelgangers in droves) and buckets of popcorn with extra butter. I'll treat it like a fun sociology experiment.


7) Go to Ripley's believe it or not Museum in Times Square. I loathe Times Square. Between the constant strobing neon lights, MTV, and tourists swarming like, well like cockroaches I don't know what to let irritate me first. I did however very much like the Ripley's museum in Atlantic City, so I feel compelled to go support the one in my hometown.


8) Not let me matronly upper arms get in the way of wearing tank tops. I have no desire to work out. ever.I also have no desire to be uncomfortable in humid summer weather. ever. So fuck it. I'm going to be brave and daring and not wear sleeves. Arm fat be damned!


This list is a work in progress for now.
