BOOMBOX from Ely Kim on Vimeo.

Freely's awesome. This video does take a while as he goes through 100 days and 100 songs, but it's totally worth it. I dare you not to get up and start dancing.

My thoughts on this video:

• I wonder if he has been on Ellen yet. This is exactly something that she would do.
• And i love his music choices. And the gold lame jacket in #36
• And i love the interior design of the house in #64
• LOL- and the striptease at 80
• i just wish he would pull up his pants. And share that kitten shirt.

words i didn't remember how to spell

rapporteur
elicit
pharmacovigilance

Yes, my life is an exciting bowl of Jello.

Plaza Hotel Amenities

No, I am not staying at the Plaza hotel, but my friend Fryn who is visiting from DC thought her friend was staying at the Plaza (it turned out that the friend is staying at the Waldorf Astoria, which is really neither here nor there). I decided to see how much a regular weekend is at the Plaza (Friday check-in, Sunday, check-out). The best rate available for the weekend of Feb. 20th is $705 per night (not incl. taxes). Fine. That is to be expected for a room that is almost the size of my apartment WITH butler service. However, what gets me is that they CHARGE YOU for internet service. Don't you think that for $700+/night you could get free internet service? I mean, really Plaza? Really? I know that hotels will charge out the wazoo for room service and movies, but I would think in this day and age, they wouldn't charge internet. That's just insanity.
