Fly Lady Di Writes....

In an attempt to add a more personal touch to this blog... I felt I should write some randomness!

RANDOM THOUGHTS BY FLY LADY DI

Today I had to take the '5' train instead of the '2' train Uptown. It was madness!

I hate waiting for people. I had scheduled an appointment with someone who wants me to do his logo today. I told him to meet me at the Starbuck's on 75th and Broadway. He takes the 'C' train to 72nd, and then walked across the park to the other side of Manhattan! (Yes, he thought Broadway was the other side of the Park). I ended up leaving after an hour (or two). What a waste of a SUNDAY! That got me pretty vexed.

A lot of cornball tourists in the City today, but what else is nu?

I'm fasting (doing the master-cleanse... again), and I only got $18 to my name, plus all my peeps are in Miami so it's been pretty lonely lately ;(. I've been plugging away at mad paintings lately at the crib, and renting movies (something I haven't done in a while). I finally copped 'Baadasssss!' - a film made by my homie Mario Van Peebles. If it wasn't for that movie, I would have never met him and we would have never become friends. I approached him on some fan stuff at Lotus when I used to work there, and we hit it off immediately and have been friends ever since -- must be a Capricorn thang! Holla ;).

Okay... I don't wanna bore heads with my randomness. That's all for now, stay tuned for more..... la-uh ('later' with an English accent).

Clap Cognac @ FACES IN THE CROWD

Shouts to G over at Motown. She works with Clap, a new artist out the BX. If your in NYC and like underground hip hop you should really check out a FACES IN THE CROWD show. O'neal McKnight was the feature artist at the last show. Just remember Im calling this now early in the year that his "Check Your Coat" record will be a summer smash.
