The Murray Hill Song

This video is highly entertaining even though i don't live in Murray Hill (I'm a tad bit north) and I try not to go to Joshua Tree ha.

Walking is Dangerous Business

I feel like life acts in opposites a lot of the time. The moment you aren't expecting something to happen/change is the moment it does. Yesterday I went to a networking event-I was at work for a while so i just walked over there straight away. This was annoying because as usual I felt like a mess after work and wanted to freshen up-you never know when you might meet someone!

On my walk over there were a few ibankers walking in front of me. One of them turned around to blatantly stare at me. Awkward. Luckily, i was rocking out on my iphone so i could well...pretend that this wasn't happening. He was staring so hard that he wasn't paying attention and hardcore tripped over a curb. His friend had to help him up. To make it more awkward-he points at me and says 'it was her fault!"..Ha. As my friend Jessie would say FHL (fuck his life).

Fun in Finland

Finland is a country not many people really know much about. I was very lucky to have spent about a week in Helsinki, Finland after my college graduation. It was interesting, beautiful and the people were very friendly. Not to mention all the delish seafood!

Not long ago I saw Confessions of a Shopaholic where the main character claimed that she was fluent in Finnish (she obviously was not!). Later that night my friend and I crashed a party and met some Finnish documentarians (that's a whole other story!). Recently, that same friend sent me a list of unique competitions in Finland. They are:
1. Wife Carrying World Championships
2. World Cell Phone Throwing Championships
3. Air Guitar World Championship
4. Mosquito Swatting Championships
5. Ant-Nest Sitting Competition
6. Ice Swimming Events
7. World Cup in Snowshoe Football
8. Finnish Sauna World Championships
9. Kutemajarvi Sex Festival & Matchmaking Festival
10. Swamp Soccer World Championships
11. Finnish Cattle Calling Championships
12. Finnish Dialect Speaking Championships
13. Milking Stool Throwing Contests

And if you are there and none of these events are happening the just call up one of my favorite Finnish-Pamela Anderson!
