Seen & Heard

The best things I've seen lately:

1.) A dog (boxer, I think), wearing a heavy gangsta chain and a fur coat (isn't that redundant?)
2.) 2 great Halloween couples costumes-
*Ron Burgandy (sans pants) & Veronic Corningstone (complete with the perfect silk blouse & skirt suit)
*Beyonce (adorable dog) & Backup Dancer (hilarious owner)
3.) First disk of the second season of "How I Met Your Mother" (I like this show more and more with every episode...in fact, I think it may creep its way into my FB "favorite TV shows" section by the end of season 2)
4.) The beginning of fall in NYC- this city is meant to be experienced right now. If you don't know what I'm talking about, GET HERE.
5.) A paraplegic finishing the NYC Marathon. He had one prosthesis acting for both of his legs, plus crutches. For. Twenty. Six. Miles. I followed him for 2 blocks, cheering & tearing. Needless to say, I started running again last week.

The best things I've heard lately:

1.) "So...you come here for the Yankees game, or just to show off your bangs?"
-Some dude (to me), while I was waiting by myself at a bar for someone
2.) "You are SEVERELY smart."
-Some chick, accusing the guy she was walking with of being intelligent.
3.) Taylor Swift. Yeah, I said it.
