Hayden and I were talking about my plans for world domination when I saw a mailer from CUNY's Graduate School of Journalism. I had forgotten that I sent them an email expressing interest in their program. They're cheaper than NYU but they only offer the program on a full-time basis which does not work for me. I'm hoping they would consider accepting part-time students sometime soon so I don't have to quit my job to get an MA.
Speaking of Hayden, his birthday's coming up (the big 3-0) and I still don't know what to get him. I know he wants her wrapped up (or not) and delivered to his door but being that I'm a retired pimp and that she's a four-hour drive away, I don't think I could do that.
Why is it so hard to shop for guys? *sucks teeth*

So my son and I went to the city (along with 7 others) to go on a Splash Tour. We went to 46th and Broadway to catch the Aquabus which took us to a short trip of Midtown West. Then the bus went to the pier and docked in a garage slash tunnel thing. There was projector screen showing a clip of early New York and before we knew it, the bus was rolling down a ramp towards the Hudson River!
AAARGH!
Thank God my son and I had put on our raincoats. My sister had her mouth open the whole time screaming, "AAAAAHHH!" so she got a mouthful of dirty water when the bus hit the Hudson. She also wasn't wearing the raincoat that the crew had provided. Hahaha!
It was pretty nice chugging about for an hour on the water, though you can't really see any fishes as the water was so murky. It reminded me of the boat ride from Caticlan to Borcay. I remember the water looking so gorgeous, all different shades of blue and green, that I just wanted to jump in. I would've too, had I not remembered that I am scared of sharks (no thanks to the movie Deep Water).
So anyway, the trip was standard tourist fare but seeing my son having a good time made the $30 worth it.
