and the rain is falling... my amazement for the seasons and the weather in this city continues... spring must be the rainy one. Just when I was trying to remember the last time it rained, as so little fell through winter (snow not included), it arrived. spring = rain. My third full season in NY, and yes this one is about rain. everyday. except yesterday which was a beautiful 17 degrees, but again today = rain. I guess it's needed, how else are the plants going to grow... one sec.. there are no plants in this city!!! but its still raining. And I have wet socks.
Enough whinging. When I wrote that first paragraph it was the 6th of April. Today is the 17th and the weather is a balmy 21 degrees... the warmest its been since October! Tomorrow is going to be 22 and I'm going for a picnic in central park! But like usual, the rain returns on sunday. 9 degrees. hmph.
Not too much out of the ordinary has been happening... the past week has been Passover in the city ... It started off with first night seder... a friend of mine organised it at his house, originally it was 14, 8 girls, 6 guys, nice. Thanks to google docs my new fave application we had an updateable spreadsheet where everybody could fill in what they were bringing who they were bringing and so on... an excel masterpiece I tell you... anyway the night came and due to a series of misfortunes we ended up being 10 girls, 2 guys... I wonder if that was orchestrated... haha.. with our hagadot in one hand, finger puppets in the other, we had a lovely seder with our family away from our families...and like most jewish functions we rolled home not being able to move after eating so much... goodie bag in hand, I had enough food for the next 8 days... funny that a holiday celebrating release from egypt and slavery these days denotes gorging yourself with food and singing nonsense songs about goats... but we're jews and I guess it goes hand in hand... second night we skipped the praying and went straight to the eating. I was invited to a restaraunt with my friend's family on the Upper East Side. Posh-a-rama... was a nice restaraunt with a 'Passover Menu'. Whilst other people sat there feasting on garlic bread, pasta, pizza and other yeast filled products our waiter served us plates of matza, lamb, chicken soup and the best flourless chocolate cake imaginable... it was a lovely night and a great way to start spoiling my diet. As I struggled through the rest of the week working out what to eat for breakfast lunch and dinner, I discovered I can make a mean steak and mashed sweet potato. come round for it anytime! I still havent found a replacement for porridge during pesach but this year matza with cheese was my staple breakfast. So last night pesach ended and I had already organised with a friend to go for a good burger and beer... whilst most cafe's and deli's in NY offer passover alternatives, counting down the last hours I felt like it was yom kippur... not eating yeast is hard.
l'shana haba'a b'yerushalayim. maybe.

Introspection
So the facebook 25 things chain mail that everyone has jumped on has inspired me to do a bit of introspection on myself... not that I want to post it there for all to see, but I thought you special few who still read this might revel in my growth and self discovery over the past 29 years...here goes... in no particular order.
1. Whilst I have low tolerance for some people, I give everyone the benefit of the doubt for at least two weeks. If they cant prove themselves in that amount of time their out.
2. I have a new found fondness for headphones in this city but must turn them off when I walk into shops or am at work.. i think it has to do with confined spaces and headphones.. im scared I'll miss out on something... same goes for those noise cancelling headphones. a definite no no.
3. I am very patient. some might argue that, but I am. I have time for the slow people on the street, I have time for the noisy overbearing people at the table next to us, I have time for slow, inattentive waiters/waitresses, I have time for tourists who stop to take pictures.
4. I don't have time for the beggars, I don't have time for bouncers who let some people in and not others (not that i have never been let in but who do they think they are?!), I don't have time for people who leave their sweat on the machines/floor at the gym.
5. I will always take the revolving door over a normal door if its an option. It's a moment of fun and puts a smile on my face.
6. I work my best under pressure, at the last minute when there's a whole lot to do and no time to do it.
7. I'm a hard worker, I like to be challenged, inspired, busy 110% of the time and enjoy having a lot expected of me. I am extremely motivated when I put my mind to it.
8. I'm an impulse buyer. If I like it I'll buy it. I'm not in to umm and ahh-ing, shopping around or lay-buys. I think its a waste of valuable time. I love shopping for both myself and for/with other people.
9. Like myself, I like people who live for the moment, are spontaneous, don't worry what others think about them too much and don't think too far ahead in the future, what will be will be.
10. I like to feel secure money wise, I always have savings but not necessarily investments.
11. As a kid, and still sometimes today, I get scared by my shadow... seeing it on the bottom of swimming pools I get scared as if it were a shark. stop laughing.
12. In a positive way, I think I am a different person today then I was at school. I credit that to being a part of Betar, my biggest life changing years so far.
13. Whilst I would never wish for a better childhood/upbringing to what I received, I do wish I was exposed to other ways of life, people and religions at a younger age.
14. I dislike people who have everything they could ever wish for and take it for granted.
15. I am funny with wierd textures and food. avocado - out, custard - out, yoghurt - out, uncooked mushrooms - out, fish is out too but that is more to do with the smell (except canned tuna and smoked salmon, I like those).
16. I've never had a close-knit 'circle' of friends...not in Sydney and not in New York. I have a lot of friends in both cities, but all from different 'circles' of friends, sometimes I like it, sometimes I don't.
17. I enjoy being a kid. I enjoy rollercoasters, getting dirty, getting wet, arts and crafts, singing, not so much dancing, running around in a park, general kid-like behaviour.
18. For the amount of exercise I do, I always thought I'd be skinnier.
19. New York has changed me, I now do my washing. I can now cook, mildly. I go to the gym regularly, I can stay awake more hours in a day, I can walk really fast now, identifying my left from my right is improving, I consume more alcoholic beverages with my meals, I understand the importance of leaving a tip, I budget and record everything i spend, and I now READ!
20. I struggle being sympathetic. I give a good hug but I'm really bad at feeling sorry for people and listening to people's woes if the issue is banal and lame. It isn't on purpose and something I'm trying to get better at, I really do care, but if you're being stupid about something you should really just grow up and move on. I also never know what to say in times of sadness, this is out of awkwardness rather then lack of sympathy.
21. I love giving and getting hugs.
22. I have a terrible memory when it comes to movies, I know I've seen it but can't tell you what it's about! I'll never forget your name.
23. There is nothing better then having a good bitch.
24.I enjoy dressing well and admire others that do the same. I think taking pride in the clothes you wear and making an effort in this area says a lot about a person.
25. I feel I come across as quite confident and happy go lucky... I am 96.5% of the time happy but I'm not always so confident.
enjoy.
see you in two weeks.

the countdown is on...
5 weeks and counting till I come home, so exciting! I am really excited... a holiday at home.. a strange concept but one I'm really looking forward too... I've been counting down for about 10 weeks now and at week 7 I realised I was counting wrong and then had to add another week... but I'm back on track now... I think... and 5 weeks it is! I hope! see you on May 3!
To pass the time is not very difficult in this city, especially when you have visitors in town... the past week i had natalie and jason staying with me and what fun we had! I think I exhausted them to the point of illness, but i still think they had a good time! With two lists, one for attractions and one for foods to be consumed we managed to nearly see the whole city!! A few things i did with them for the first time, which come highly recommended from me now include the water taxi ride around the rivers, bridges and statue of liberty... and a comedy night at the comedy cellar is hard to beat.. i had sore stomach muscles the next day! What else did we do... we celebrated their wedding, marissa style, at sammy's roumanian, drank at my favourite, the back room, had lunch at carnegie deli, went shopping in soho and 5th avenue (my favourite pastime), oh and another cool thing, we did a movie tour to see where all the movies are filmed around new york... was really fun, who new that even my local fire station is the fire station from Ghost Busters! we ate cupcakes at magnolia, hung out in times square, walked around the park, went drinking at dive bars, played on big pianos toy stores, ate candy at candy stores visited ground zero... and did i mention eating?! haha it was great having them around, and as always, my house is open to you all, just come and visit :)

The recession we had to have...
How could anyone forget those great Paul Keating ads!!... This is the recession AUSTRALIA had to have... well it seems we're having another one, and noone has felt it harder then in NYC... Honestly, I don't really understand how it happens, the money must be somewhere, right? someone must be hiding it under their floorboards or in there matress... money changes hands all day everyday, how all of the sudden could it just dissappear? (besides into bernie madoff's pockets...) Then the governments around the world creat a 'stimulus package', where do they pull that money from?! does it actually even exist in physical form or does it just get allocated on paper... do they just print more money and throw it in to the mix?? whatever the situation by the looks of it it isnt getting better any time soon...
As I walk to work everyday down Broadway in Soho, a strip of overpriced, expensive yet beautiful, massive (like you've never seen massive, I'm talking shops with escalators...) stores are slowly closing their doors as they are hit by the current 'situation'. People seem to be losing money left right and center... and depression is setting in... Right now I think I have more friends out of work then in work.. people have had their salaries halved, or have been asked to do just 3 days a week work (of course they are still expected to complete 5 days worth...) one friend described her company's process similar to an Australian Idol eviction show... on the Monday the whole company received an email saying that 20% of the company's staff will be fired on the Friday... after spending the whole week sleepless worried what would happen the Friday arrived and each employee was called into an office. Her turn came up, she walks into the room with her two bosses behind the desk (talk about daunting!) 'XX, thanks for coming, please take a seat', 'XX you are NOT fired today... you are safe for another two months!' she started laughing, could you imagine, she said they were so serious, and judge like... anyway it is still terrible, now she has two months of sleepless nights!! The process of firing staff in New York is so clinical... how to they pick who they are going to fire? It's like every company now feels it their right to fire people because everyone else is doing it 'so lets shed half our workforce just cos we can' ... what a great time to get rid of those that are expensive or useless or both...
What just a few months ago would be a big night in the city, dinner, drinks at a variety of bars and maybe a concert, comedy show or cabaret, many of my friends are taking the eat-in approach, I'll meet you at the bar but I'll eat at home... all in an effort to save money... thankfully I have my job... and I'm still having a blast, but I wish everyone else could still be gainfully employed so we can have those fun nights again...
It is strange when you live in another city as an expat, weirdly all your friends are from your home country as you have a connection, they understand where you've come from, they understand how it is for you to live here, it is easier to befriend them and you just connect better then you do with the locals... on the one hand it is great, an immediate social network of friends like yours back home, on the other hand, your new found family of friends is somewhat transient... here for a limited time, working on their own agendas, its great when you hang out together, but the bond you form is so easily broken... they could leave any day... and with our visas in this job market this is more likely sooner rather then later!
wow, what a negative post.

im still alive...
So I am so sorry for not writing sooner but let me know if your still reading and want more... not sure if anyone actually still looks at this but I promise to get back in to the groove... I feel I have less to write about these days, I guess its a sign of actually living in this city.. it is no longer still a holiday and new, it is still always exciting, but it is slowly becoming the norm!
So what's been happening... I've seen two concerts in the last week, Tom Jones and Missy Higgins... both great concerts, both unbelievable in their own rights. Tommy may not be a sex bomb anymore... but he thinks he is and i guess that's all that matters! Nudging 70 he sweated under the strong lights and at one stage even flashed his belly... enough enough.. i agree! He still has an unbelievable voice and I enjoyed the spectacle along with the rest of the audience who were probably also nudging 70! Even though everyone in the room including Tom was slightly geriatric, it didnt stop them throwing their underwear all over the stage... I've seen flowers thrown before but never g-strings... I guess it is a remnant from their youth!
Missy was also fantastic, I don't know why I enjoy her performances so much, I guess its the way she communicates with the audience, you just want to be her bestfriend! Anyway it was made even better by our front row positioning... I've never been in the front row of a concert, but its a great interrupted view, and a fence to lean on! So did anyone watch GP in their youth? it was that great medical show, set in a doctors surgery, a GP practice to be precise... anyway there was a girl in the show called vesna?! I think she was the receptionist? anyone remember?! anyway she is now a singer living in LA, Lenka is her real name and she was Missy's supporting act... as soon as she came on I new she looked familiar... and thanks to wikipedia I worked it all out... it was a great night of Aussie singing...
Got Nat and Jason coming to visit next week, cant wait to entertain them in this fab city... and its just 7 weeks till I'm home in another great city, cant wait for that either... :) Just structuring my year of holidays, I'm thinking LA over Independance Day, London over Thanksgiving, home for kathy's wedding in Dec (yayayayayayay) and then to Thailand over christmas and new year! sounds fantastic, let me know if you want to join me anywhere :)
Sending lots of hugs and kisses,
marissa xx.
ps. if you are a new yorker reading this... i went to a new yummy restaraunt last night... Absinthe.. 1st ave at 7th st... check it out!

Skiing NY!
The American, The Norwegian, The Englishman, The Italian and the Australian went up a mountain.... and came back relatively unscathed... last weekend I ventured up north with some friends from work to go skiing at Windham Mountain. Situated in the Catskills Mountain ranges we hired a car, did a grocery shop and drove 3 or so hours to a chalet owned by one of the guys. We spent two days on the slopes (read: two days with my heart in my throat as I hurtled down icy runs), but I think by the end I had made some improvement!... my bruised knee might argue that fact but really it was a lot of fun.
What suprised me though was the 'boringness' of the atmosphere on the mountain... in Australia when you go skiing, the runs are interesting (ie. they go through trees, there's hills and so on), there's music all over the mountain, there's restaraunt huts at the bottom of runs, there's comraderie between the skiers, and there are heaps of little kids in crazy head-dress helmets... but here it was no mucking around, there's a mountain, there's snow on it, there's one restaraunt at the bottom, the runs go straight up and down, the kids there are serious... no mucking around with dress ups... its more of a regular activity. My conclusion was that for the average american up on the mountain, its just what they do as weekend sport, just like they would play tennis or basketball in the summer.. there is nothing exciting about it for them... with so much snow around throughout winter year after year I guess the novelty has just worn off!
Nonetheless, our bunch of multicultural nearly non-Americans, had a great time, jumping off ramps into airbags (not me) sliding down mountains on bottoms (me) and general skiing for 6 hours each day... It was great getting to spend time with my colleagues, people I hardly new... put me out of my comfort zone which i like every now and then... we all got on great, cooked some wonderful meals, mixed it up with the locals and enjoyed the freezing weather!
Looking forward to heading up there again, hopefully before the winter is out... then I might become a real pro!

FuerzaBruta
If you ever get the chance go see it! I recently saw this show, Fuerza Bruta, http://www.fuerzabrutanyc.com, arguably one of the best shows I've ever seen!... I know, I know, that's a big call... maybe its just the first time I've been to a show with that much audience participation, immersiveness and randomness... squashed into a not so large theatre with about 400 others into the dark, the ushers herded you around to different parts of the room like sheep whilst around us performers harnessed to the hilt sprawled around above our heads, swinging from every corner possible, crashing through walls, splashing through a massive glass bottom swimming pool as it lowered to about an inch from our noses, acrobatics, a house sized treadmill, bright lights, sprays from a giant water hose, thousands of pieces of paper blown all over you like snow from the sky, loud music, theatre like I've never seen, who could ask for anything more!
.... very new york.
disclaimer: don't see it if you don't like strobe, getting wet, standing, and the ocassional feeling of claustraphobia. this post does it no justice. go see it!
