Month of May Ending

My month of celebrating my birthday is going to be gone in two short days!

So I went to a Mets-Padres game where they won 9-0 on Saturday May 26. Then went to Mets-Phillies game that was close then Phillies won 8-4 on Memorial Day Monday May 28. I went to Louie's Oyster Bar and Grill on Memorial Day Monday night with my parents and bro to celebrate my birthday, Steve's new job and Mother's Day for my mom.

So tomorrow will go to Cornell CAAAN Thank-you reception at the Cornell Club on East 44th Street between Madison and the one west of that... Thursday going back to Yum Yum in Queens (Sunnyside?) for the NY Ethnic Group. Friday no plans yet. Getting my hair cut at Mizu (Park Ave and 59th St) Saturday morning. Saturday night going to the Venus in Fur Broadway play with Hugh Dancy (HOT, hot, HOT). Sunday night watching Snow White and the Huntsman (with hot THOR Chris Hemsworth). Didn't think Chris Hemsworth was that hot until recently when I saw him in Avengers!

Next Tuesday is a Joan Rivers' book signing at Barnes and Noble Union Sq. Wednesday is a Riverside Symphony meetup at 8PM that night. Thursday is a meetup dinner at Dopo Teatro (one of my clients is the PR for them).  Friday night I'm going to a ballet meetup (Onegin), dinner at Rosa Mexicano. 

Month of May

I tried to post an ad from my apt last night but could not. Oh well.

Anyways, I had an eventful birthday month. I went to Roberto's comedy club routine at NY Comedy Club on May 11 (Friday). I also went to Tomoe Sushi with Josh (didn't like it that much).

On Sat night (May 12) I went to Mika with Augusto. Sunday night I went to Wild Ginger with Rebecca.

Then I did the Chinese Architecture Seminar on May 15 at the China Institute. That was kinda boring but I did get a nice architecture book with one of the editor's signatures!

May 18 Friday I went to see Giselle (dress circle, front row). Not bad! I had dinner at Rosa Mexicano with three other ladies from my opera and ballet meetup group.

May 19 was cap day at Yankees Stadium. The Yankees lost but I got a pretty nice cap.

I had hotpot dinner with my bro at Mabo Szechuan in Prince Street at Main Street Flushing last night. I think I ordered the wrong hotpot broth, but I'll be back in the fall time!

Tonight I will go to Haru Hana with Chiemi. Need to use a groupon before it expires.

Thursday will attend a Jimmy Fallon book signing at Union Square Barnes and Noble. Friday night will go to sushi place Jewel Bako in the East Village. Sat Mets-Padres Randy Staub bobble head day. Monday Phillies-Mets game!

35th Birthday TMW!

So my 35th birthday is tomorrow. There's a Deadbeat Darling concert tomorrow at 7:30PM at Webster Hall Grand Ballroom, they are opening for AWOLNATION. Not bad! Will go to Rare Bar and Grill afterwards with Brandon to celebrate my birthday!

Thursday is Chiemi's bday! Gaslight Lounge and some other MPD bars. Friday night attending Roberto's standup comedian routine at New York Comedy Club with Cheryl, another Tolentiner and some other friends like Josh and Rebecca.

Augusto is taking me to a sushi place Sat nite for my birthday and Josh is taking me to a sushi place Sun nite for my bday! Will go to a pug meetup with Brandon on Sunday.

The celebrations continue next week for my birthday month of MAY :)

Working!

So I am doing two part-time jobs (one at a computer company and one at a dance studio). This with my unemployment income makes me able to pay back my credit cards! Maybe next year!

So nothing new. Now dating Brandon... Seen him for a few weeks now! Three-four times a week!

That's going well.

This Wed going to dinner with B... Friday I have my first birthday dinner (with a meetup group)! Saturday attending Mets game with B and Rebecca! No plans on Sunday

Tax season update 2

OK tax season is almost coming to a close. 10 more days! Yowza!

No word from Brandon. Maybe he finally got the hint I wasn't interested. LOL

Helen had her baby son a week or so ago. His name is Nathaniel Douglass Hunter. Nice name!

I am watching Titanic tonight. Hope to watch the soccer Real Madrid-Valencia game tomorrow afternoon. I have two tax appts today. Possibly one tomorrow.

Need to do two or three tax returns that are taking me forever to do/get around to doing.

The Week Ahead

So tax season is going strong. I am projecting $4760 from current or pending tax clients and projects. Not including the last-minute tax filers in the 17 days before the tax deadline of April 17, 2012!

I will be attending a Japanese meetup dinner tomorrow night. It looks like a nice Japanese restaurant. Here's to hoping it's good!

I have one tax client who was a referral, meeting him in his East Village apartment.

Monday I will go to my second p/t job from 9 to 11:30am then to my first p/t job from 12 to 4. I think I have 3-4 tax appts on Monday from 4:30-6PM! Monday night is the return of Gossup Girl! YAY!

Tuesday will prolly just go to the first p/t job. No plans on Tuesday night.

Wednesday and Friday are my days for tax appts. I have two tentatively scheduled for Wed!

Thursday is the day to go to the first p/t job.

Wednesday night is a Portuguese dinner meetup. Thursday night is a Mexican dinner meetup.

Friday night I will watch Titanic in 3-D with Rebecca (Chiemi's friend).

Next Saturday and Sunday night I have no plans...

Taxes and such

OK, I made a lot of money this week. Not as much as last weekend but we can't all win! LOL

Anyways, I met with two clients today and I will have a day off tomorrow. I am going to Nets-Bobcats game tonight with Chiemi ($20 tickets! discounted from $40).

I will go to Hunger Games movie (I saw it Friday night with Rebecca but bought this ticket before then) and meetup dinner with Alfredo (his last meetup as organizer).

3.5 more weeks left of tax season and then it's a long 9 more months til the next tax season!

So next week is less hectic than this week. On Monday I will go to all you can eat spaghetti and all you can drink sangria. On Tuesday there is this free movie and dinner meetup. Not doing anything on Wed and Thurs as of yet. Heading to La Casa Femme with Augustine on Friday night. And there is a tentative dinner meetup on Saturday night but there's only one other person signed up so not sure if that's happening or not!

See less hectic but who knows if I'll get more plans next week as the time approaches.

Rebecca is Chiemi's friend who moved to Astoria and we started hanging out. She's nice. Nearer my age (31) than Chiemi.

Anyways, Brandon was in Toronto this week. Oh well.

OK I had one appointment on Sat and one appointment on Sun. Not so bad. No appts tmrw but I do start my second day of hopefully constructive work at the technology company started by the Cornell graduate.

It's a very depressing work situation. Run-down apt building! I hope it doesn't become full-time. I know I can do better! LOL

I have two tax appts on Tuesday (one at 8:30am, one at 5:3opm just in case I need to work on Tuesday). One tax appt on Sat.

I need to get more busy! It's the home stretch - last 4 weeks before tax season ends!

I am meeting my bro for burger dinner at Van Diemens ($24 for two burgers with fries, two beers and one fried OREOS). Not bad!

Then going to Sushi dinner for 2 at Fusha West in Upper West Side with Chiemi on Tuesday.

My first dining out meetup at Breeze with three other people! That should be fun.

NY Philharmonic concert on Thursday - guest conductor over Henze and Schubert. With dinner at Il Violino beforehand.

No plans on Friday night.

Saturday night I am going to Nets basketball game ($20 tickets) with Chiemi in Prudential Center in Newark, NJ

Sunday I am going to movie and dinner meetup with Alfredo, his last as a meetup organizer. The movie is Hunger Games .. Should be good.

So I have an action-packed week ahead of me.

Let's see if I have time for Brandon this week. LOL

Tax Clients

I met with three or four clients today. Meeting four clients and one interview (John at 10AM, Cynthia at 11AM, interview at 12PM, Joe at 2PM and Laura at 4PM.

Met my corporate client Corey today, Brian (married filing jointly), Robin (collected two years' worth of taxes). Not bad! Meeting Robin on Thursday to give her her completed taxes.

Wednesday I am meeting Adam, my longest client maybe at 4 years! Corporate taxes! Meeting David M to do his business taxes (collecting his stuff)

Friday morning meeting Linda G, Jessica P's referral in Astoria a block away at Dunkin Donuts at Steinway and Astoria Blvd. Have to send her a referral check after I do her taxes.

I might visit my parents on Sunday to have Paddy play with Ollie. Thursday going to see Macbeth with Emma. Friday seeing L'Elisir D'Amore with Josh. Saturday night having dinner with Augusto at Jebon Sushi for Opentable coupon $20 for $40 worth of food.

Whoops been a while since my last post. Brandon R went to Snowbird UT to go skiing with a bunch of buddies. I thought Colorado is the choice destination for skiiers.

Oh well what do I know?

Anyways he checked into a lot of Salt Lake City venues today so I thought he was heading home but no airport check-ins. Who knows when he'll be home. I think I'll get my period tmw! just in time for his return home! LOL

I made $500 today, possibly $575 tomorrow. Not so bad! I need to work on three returns and an expense receipt project. OOOH what fun!

I need to get more new clients - not sure how I'll get them though.

OK I got back from Ido Sushi in West Village. I had sushi dinner for two with appetizer and a glass of wine (Sapporo beer for my bro). Not so bad! Very full.

I went to Pure Food and Wine last Friday with Chiemi and was not full and not satisfied with my raw vegan meal. Won't go there and prolly won't go to Candle either! Staying away from vegan places.

I will go to Tu Casa on Steinway and 30th Avenue tmw night with meetup group. It's only 2 blocks away from me, I have to try it out. Then Thai food in Queens Blvd on Thursday night. No plans this weekend except finish John's expense project and Little Feet's tax returns. Maybe catch Real Madrid-Real Betis match Sat at 4PM. Pug meetup at 11AM on Sunday in Animal Haven. Will do 7:45AM mass.

Anyways will try to post every week. Sorry for the long delay since my last post. Been working at taxes a lot!

See you later alligator!

Tax season update

I am blogging from my office. 224 West 35th Street, Suite 1208, between 7th and 8th Avenues. Not so bad!

I got a call from Brandon R on Monday at 1:17PM and he wanted to meet I guess then. But I was free at 3PM and he didn't call. And then he calls at 5-ishPM how fucking messed up is that. Didn't hear from him yesterday (which was good because I was busy). Not busy tonight.

I wanted to take the day off so I rescheduled Adam to tmw and then Patrick, a client from last year, emailed me and so I am in the office today. 4PM appt. Shd be done by 4:40-ish. Not so bad.

Might make 1050-1350 this week! Not so bad! And it's not even March yet! YAY GO TAX SEASON GO ME!

Bad timing with Brandon

See I was free after 4PM today and Brandon didn't contact me. He will contact me on the nights when I'm busy. LOL.

I have two meetups tmw. One pug meetup *(which is why I joined meetup in the first place). Church at 7:45AM tmw. I will also do a Real Madrid-Levante meetup at 3:30pm. I had a tentative corp tax meeting in Westchester but that will be rescheduled to a future date.

No plans after 5:30pm maybe Brandon will call me tmw night.

Then Monday 1PM client, 5:15PM dental appt, my last appt unless I get more cavities or root canals. Knock on wood, no!

Tuesday, 3 appts. 12PM, 1PM, Meetup with NY Ethnic Group for Valentine's Day, Vietnamese restaurant in Chinatown, that seems fun, 30 people signed up

Thursday 1 off-site appt on 93rd and Broadway Starbucks

These tax appts I am booking are mostly last year's clients. Not so bad. But I want new clients like the S Corp in Westchester. Here's hoping I get more new business in the coming weeks.

I will see Josh for dinner at Ah! Chihuahuas in Midtown East this Friday at 7PM (near my old apt on 51st and 1st). It's on 3rd and 53rd. That's a groupon deal, not so bad!

Then Saturday at 8PM at the Met Opera House in Lincoln Center I have an opera Ernani with Emma. Balcony box seats, $47.50. Not so bad.

No plans on Sunday although that can change. I wanna see that movie This Means War. Maybe I will see that or Safe House with my bro.

Wedding plans

I bet if I marry Brandon, it'll be a huge wedding! He has like 800 friends on Facebook. He's from money and makes a lot of money.

The only trick with him is his age. He is 26, turning 27 in August. Far away from the age of 30 when a guy might want to settle. Also he's Jewish not sure how important it is for him to marry some Jewish girl.

OK I have a pinterest page. www.pinterest.com/may321. there's a wedding board. hint, hint

Brandon's stalking me

OK I'm being stalked. Brandon called me on Wed night at 7PM right before meeting my friend Chiemi for burger dinner in East Village. Tonight he called at 4PM twice and then when I didn't pick up he called at 5:20PM. I picked up and we chatted. I am busy tonight meeting Augusto for Indian dinner I'm treating him to because he lent me his phone number to use for Craigslist.

I wasn't busy yesterday and he didn't call. Anyways I told him I wasn't busy this weekend but who knows he might be going to Vermont to ski with his buddies. who knows?

He tweeted his friend about going to the Brooklyn Bowl last night but he went to Irving Plaza. Weird, eh?

Also he's asking abt anal sex. That's great. he's like humongous and now he wants that. That will be painful. Not picking up his blocked calls anymore. LOL

Another Brandon tidbit

Oh and on a more interesting note every time I mention going out Brandon asks me if it's to fuck some random guy or a date. So if he wasn't at all interested in me he wouldn't ask, right? I am really stretching for some hope here. LOL

I just had to include that tip.

OK I might go to the pet store in the East Village and get some frozen dog food. Yumm

Brandon update

I met up with Chiemi for a burger, side and beer for two for $19. Not so bad! Brandon called me at 7PM. He asked me for my number a week ago so I thought he lost my number. Strange. Anyways, I was busy so another time I guess.

But he did ask me to meet up with him a week ago when he was supposedly in Boston. Isn't that strange?

I will prolly see him this weekend as I am not busy this weekend. Not that excited about meeting him. He is too young and Jewish for me. His sisters are 23 and 21, for Chrissake, one's in college still.

It'll be nice to date him. Even if he's only 5'11 according to those dating sites he belongs to.

Giants win Super Bowl

YAY GIANTS ARE SUPER BOWL 46 CHAMPS! ELI DID IT AGAIN AND IS ELITE.

The Patriots lost. The final score 21-17.

Brandon was in Boston. Not sure if he is a Patriots fan or what but he did say he was in a Giants celebration in Boston. Not sure if he's there for work or if I'll ever hook up with him or ever get into a relationship. He's too young, too young. Keep repeating that!

LOL

Need to get more clients

Update this week

I've fallen off the exercise band wagon. I will recommit this week. I will try to sign up for Gregg Cook's spin class at 19th and Broadway on Monday. I have two or three tax appts on Monday. One on Fri and three undetermined ones. I will try and get my business tax software this month and mail my amended tax returns so I can get my tax refund.

I heard from Brandon last Sat but didn't want to meet so I made up some excuse. Haven't heard from him since. He is in Chappaqua/Mt Kisco area now or this afternoon. Too bad for a mild winter. He really does enjoy skiing.

Oh well, meeting Chiemi for dinner at Black Iron Burger. $19 for two burgers, two sides, and two beers. Not so bad. Dentist appt on Monday. Meeting Augusto for an Indian meal somewhere on the UES on Friday. Chill weekend - Real Madrid game on Sunday Feb 12. Meeting a CU applicant on Sat in Bayside.

OK off to play word with games with my bro. I'm improving!

Super Bowl Sunday tomorrow. Not sure if I should mix up my schedule and watch from a different locale like my parents' house. GO GIANTS AND ELI! Beat Tom Brady and Patriots convincingly! Will try to do mass 7:45AM. Then Giants white manicure in the morning. 12:30PM and 4PM tax appts. Busy day tmw!

Brandon's baaaack

OK the last time I heard from Brandon R was October 31. It's been almost three months later but he contacted me on yahoo messenger. Strangely enough on twitter he checked into Boston places but he said he wanted to meet now. Which means he's fake checking into Boston places. WEIRD

Anyways I have to meet someone at 4:30PM and then going home and then maybe concert by Deadbeat Darling tonight so not meeting Brandon tonight.

It's interesting to see he resurfaced. I knew he wouldn't completely disappear.

He said why would I care abt him when I said it was nice to know he was alive. I just agreed. He's my ideal bf besides the 8 year age difference and him being Jewish. those two minor things.

I became a fan of his sister's. At first they have different last names so I thought they were cousins. But I'm pretty sure they are siblings.

He just signed off yahoo, maybe it will be another three months before he contacts me. Who knows?

He is on a dating site with his ny8685 which is his gmail email address. He lists himself as 5'11. And I thought he was 6'. None of the guys I've hooked up with was 6' except maybe Jonathan Tootell. He had a nice body!

I am so Internet stalking Brandon. I know he has two sisters and parents. His mom's an artist. Dad's a dentist.

I have to stop googling him. LOL

I will post more if I hear from Brandon more. LOL. Back to being in love with the wonderboy.

So we are back in the swing of the new year 2012. I got paid on my $410 project and my $250 project. Not so bad to usher in the new year!

Still miss Brandon R! He didn't check into anything today. Hope he is okay. Hope I haven't heard the end of him
