Random Tuesday Thoughts – Green Charms, Lucky Clovers and Elmo Felt Me Up
“If you get caught between the moon and New York city
The best that you can do
The best that you can do is fall in love.”-Christopher Cross
When I got lost between the moon and NYC, the best that I could do was get a regrettably blurry photo of myself with “feel me up Elmo”, a shot of vodka from a hot Irish bartender and a mad craving for a bowl of Lucky Charms.
I haven’t been online too much this weekend because I was helping EA SPORTS Active promote the launch of the new product, available today.
Yesterday, we all woke at 4 and headed down to meet the good folks at the Today Show. Not as guests, but as super enthusiastic, freezing and exhausted audience members. Here’s a picture I took of myself before I lost feeling in my hands.
The shower at the Marriott in Times Square isn’t nearly as nice to pee in as the shower in The Four Seasons at Santa Barbara. They also don’t have wireless internet, so the only time I could get anything done was if I was in my room sitting at the desk. LAME.
Other than that, this hotel rocked my socks off. Once you can find your way out of it, you’re slapped right in the center of the best part of NYC. I met some amazing people and reconnected with friends and the 30 day Active Challengers before Elmo molested me. It was a really good time.
I have to check out of this hotel in 30 and find a restaurant with wi-fi so I can catch up on all the shit I’ve missed out on in the past few days and get some moderately portioned greasy food in me.
Even though Facebook does a lot of super douchey things, I still love it. Because of Facebook, I’ve gotten to reconnect with old friends and have them laugh and take a picture as Elmo molested me (Hi, Sandra!) and I get to look in on the folks I graduated with to see who’s still sporting that 90′s look, who still lives with their parents and who’s making babies and having a good time living life. I want to connect with them all, because unlike Facebook, I’m not douchey.
No, I’m not drunk. I was in bed by 11 last night and completed assed out until 9 this morning, it just so happens NYC brings out the more creative (raunchy) side of me and everyone knows it’s Tuesday so I’m laying down some Random Tuesday Thoughts from my friend Keely over at The Un Mom.
My eye is twitchy, I must have had tequila. Go now, be random.

NOT your imagination. I’m exhausted just thinking about it.
Ok, you have officially made Elmo creepier than ever. LOL!
LMAO at Elmo feeling you up.
(I knew he was a perv! I just KNEW it!)
Is this the Random Tues thoughts Elmo edition? I have a picture of him up too.
You have a case of the Tequila twitch eye? I love tequila.
Love the pic of Elmo!! that’s a riot. i’m glad you are enjoying your trip. Bummer about the wifi, even my city up here has wifi all over town! you have to be “in” town but that’s better then being chained down to a desk right?
What a funny picture! Looks like Elmo was having fun
Why is it freezing in May? I’m about to melt here in AZ at 105 degrees.
LOL, I was going to say, Elmo seemed kind of fresh there. Sheesh
Being felt-up by Elmo doesn’t surprise me… for a muppet with an arm up his ass, it comes naturally.
HAAAAA….well, if you’re going to be molested by “something” in NY I guess Elmo is better than Matt Lauer!?!
Huh. I thought Elmo was a eunuch.
