Our power just went out here at work for about 35 minutes. Somewhat unusual, as it was the whole facility, not just the computers but the lights too, shipyard and everything, and not just one building. My power was on at home, so it wasn't the town. But that didn't stop people from speculating. My favorite theory so far: Bush is speaking at the Coast Guard Academy's graduation today, so they turned off the town's power for him. Also I just heard a rumor that the bridge is closed. The INTERSTATE 95 BRIDGE over the Thames River... "Well, if he's coming down by motorcade, they might have to close the bridge!!". I love my town. |

] Style is a personal thing, this is nothing new. But I've
] always found it fascinating how diverse opinions can be,
] especially in the same city, in a similar age range. One
] girl's turn-off may be another girls cat's meow.
]
] To determine if there were universal female gripes within
] NYC, I did some digging. A simple question to female
] friends and associates, "Is there something you see a guy
] wearing that turns you off, before you even know him?"
] turned into an endless barrage of answers. (You'll see
] that "shy" would not be the word to describe the
] participants.)
]
] But for now, here's what the girlies DON'T like: There's a corresponding article for girls at http://www.nycpulse.com/web/articles/fashion/nov/112602a.htm I find it amusing when there is a trend in modern society that most people don't find attractive or interesting, but it seems to be extremely popular nonetheless. I read the article about womens' fashion and I am pleased to report that I believe that I am just perfect. (Actually so are most of the women I know.) How? I do not follow "fashion". Therefore I cannot commit any "fashion errors". Ha. New York's guide to entertainment, restaurants, nightlife and events | nycpulse.com online |
