You know that new McDonald's commercial? The one with the young woman rapping in a van? If not, here it is:




She's a violinist and lives in my new neighborhood; there was a story about her and the making of the commercial in today's paper. Nice to see fun, inspiring articles for a change!

The gf and I just got back (to Queens) from the "Last Play at Shea"-

Billy Joel in concert, at Shea Stadium.

But since there's another concert on Friday, I guess it was the next to last play at Shea.

So now I can say I made it to Shea Stadium. And I saw Billy Joel perform there. AMAZING.

I was in Queens this weekend. The gf and I got up early yesterday and went into Manhattan to her favorite store, Macy's at Herald Square (That's the one on 34th street). We had a blast, and even got me a purse I've been looking at for 6 months- on sale, no less.

And she wasn't even frustrated while shopping with me, the kid who isn't a huge fan.

So, it was a good trip.

Until we got back to Queens and saw that someone had hit Marianne (my car). HARD. The passenger side front panel is dented in so far I was concerned that the wheel well was damaged. It drives ok and I made it back Upstate with no problems, but now I have to get my car fixed.

And NO, the person who hit my car did not leave a note.
