So I am looking for a new book to read since finishing A Long Way Round. I went to the Taschen book sale last night after work and they didn't really have too much that interested me. Either they sold out of the good stuff early, or they didn't have a large selection. Oh well. Email me if you have a suggestion!
A Long Way Round was actually a great book. I was a bit skeptical since it was written in part by Ewan McGreggor- the actor- but it was actually a fantastic experience to read about. Since then, I have become completely obsessed with Mongolia. I really want to go to Mongolia some time and visit a Ger and walk around on the dunes and visit a place which hasn´t been invaded with Starbucks. In essense, I am looking to visit the anti-Manhattan. I get enough of Manhattan Monday through Friday with ocasional weekend visits. Its about time I start thinking about where I might end up next. Alaska? Its not that I want to leave the hustle and bustle of the city, I just need to change things up from time to time to give the city its dicotomy from the rest of the world.
Out of all of my New Years resolutions, the 'exercise more' resolution has been...uh...lacking. I´ll see if I can work on that one a bit this weekend.
So, a couple of nights ago I went out with some of my co-workers. We all started out at the first bar and talked at random about our own office politics, living situations and where we wanted to see ourselves in a few years. A fraction of us ended up at another bar for 'one more drink.' Mary started to chat up this guy but ended up talking with his ugly brother so she walked away. Me and the new girl were talking about random stuff on the other corner of the bar and Mary comes up to us followed by the ugly brother. He starts rambling on about his sales job and at one point turned around to have us check out his ass. Yeah, there is no need for me to be checking out some balding/middle aged dude's ass. I used that moment to glare at Mary for what she had gotten us into. Another gal from our group on the other side of the bar looked at us and I shot her a glare as well and she got us out and away from ugly brother just after he announced he was married. Um, yeah.
