Off the streets!

I have an apartment!!!!!! I know, get excited. Mom, Dad, friends and family... have no fear I am no longer living on the streets (and by streets I mean my friend's futon.) I have a studio apartment on the Upper East Side (aka good neighborhood) and it's pretty nice. It's really small, but that's what you get in NYC. The rent is $1000 a month. I know... It's hard to believe that I am old/mature enough to afford $1000 a month. Guess that's what being a grown up is like. For all of you holding onto those birthday presents and cards, here is my new address:
332 E. 95th Street
Apt. 36
New York, NY 10128

I expect some mail :)

In other news, work is going very well. Weekend TODAY is going great! This past weekend I got to talk with several of the on-air personalities as well as some cool guests. I have to say that everyone is very cool, but Sean McLaughlin is really great. (I'm sure Liz Farry will agree.) He's totally down to earth and very appreciative of every little thing that I help him out with. He always says thank you and is generally concerned with how the other Page and I are doing in the morning. On Sunday I got to escort this group of little kids in Halloween costumes for a special reading from Lemminy Snicket, and I also got to see some "spooky" animals up close like an owl, tarantula, huge toads, and a huge albino python! I got to hold a bat, too! Not too shabby.

I'm waiting to see if I got the Conan TOC assignment. I actually think that I'm the only one up for the position right now, which is good and bad. Anyone that knows me knows that I love competition, so I'd much rather get the assignment knowing I beat out other people, but I'll take it anyway, haha! I'll update you on the progress as soon as I know something.

Top of the Rock just opened this morning, but some lucky Pages and I had the chance to go up a few days early for a sneak peek. The views are AMAZING, much better than the Empire State Building. You get an amazing view of Central Park, which is great because you CAN'T see it from Empire because our building is in the way. The architecture and design are amazing. So much work went into restoring the observation deck and it is definitely going to be well worth it. Check out the website!

On a sad note, I have to give a shout out to departing Page Carolyn Clark! She got a job at The Dowd Agency doing entertainment publicity for some very high profile moguls (think Donald Trump, Mark Burnett.) I'm really sad she's leaving the program, but she's going to do an amazing job! I expect big things from her, and hopefully she'll hook me up with a job in the future! We'll miss you, C-Clark!
