The Good, the Bad, and the Sharkly
The Good: Last night's dinner with Sterling at Dumont, and drinks afterwards at Zablozki's.
The Bad: I lost my Metrocard, which was a monthly, and which I had just purchased on June 22nd.
The Sharkly: Another shark attack - but a very minor one. "Shark Bites Tourist's Ankle in Florida."
The Good: I called MTA and they are refunding me $50.60, because I had bought the Metrocard with my debit card.
The Bad: The refund doesn't go through for 10 to 20 business days. Not that it really matters much, though. I was thrilled that I actually got the good customer service I got, considering, hello, it's MTA.
The Sharkly: This from the Horse Hater site: "Shark Mauls Horse."
The Good: A couple of weeks ago, I submitted an teeny tiny 100-word review for an upcoming Free Blood show at Cake Shop to the New York Press, and it was accepted! I guess that's no big achievement, since everyone's always saying how bad the writing in the Press is, and how much the paper sucks, but still - it was the first thing I've ever written and submitted to a paper. My name in print!
The Bad: After telling me it was accepted, it didn't actually run. They are supposedly still going to pay me, though. Well, we'll just see. (also, my friend Amy pointed out that my name is, technically, in print every week, but that doesn't really count, and it's not so exciting, because it's not for any actual accomplishment).
The Sharkly: BLOOD IN THE SURF article in this week's People magazine!
The Good: I got a ticket (birthday present) to see Dinosaur, Jr. at SummerStage on July 14th!
The Bad: Apparently, a shark ate it.
The Sharkly: This is what happened to the shark that ate my Dinosaur, Jr. ticket:
the good news is that I found
the shark, ripped out it's stomach through it's mouth
and got the ticket back. Then I dumped it on the beach.

The Good: I got my hair cut last Saturday at The Beehive Salon, and I really like it!
Supermodel me picture taken by Amy's cameraphone!
The Bad: The haircut is really nice, but the weather has been so damp and rainy, and I have to learn how to blow dry my hair.
BONUS: GOOD, BAD, AND SHARKLY:
Spring Break Shark Attack!
(am I the only person who watched this piece of CGI crap? Probably.)
NOTE: Thanks to Josh for the shark links, the horse hater link, and the Dinosaur, Jr. ticket! I love you, man! (*sound of beer cracking open*)
