'Bomb' scare

Interesting morning - turned round the corner on the way to work and saw people milling about outside our building, with more pouring out. First the rumor was that there was some sort of police investigation/activity, then it was a bomb scare directed at the Century 21 store.

I highly doubt that because there wasn't any fire engines, bomb squad, news trucks or any more police presence than the usual. (Two blocks down is Wall Street and a permanent check point with cops). If it was a real threat, the place would be swarming with cops and whatnot. Starbucks across the street sure had a brisk business, though. We were let back in after 9 am but what a way to start the work week - especially a Monday, damn it.

Saturday's rugby game was a nail biter; I was jumping in my seat because the All Blacks had NO try in the first 65 minutes! My team was trailing 21-12 behind the Boks, Dan Carter lost his golden boots, AB line outs sucked, fights broke out and a Saffa was sin-binned (they do play dirty). Truly unacceptable. Then, voila, 2 tries in less than 5 minutes and we're back in business. Too close for comfort, though. Wonder what'll happen this coming Saturday against Oz - sorry I'll be missing the thrill and excitement, but hey the Caribbean ain't bad either hehe...

Went to see Surf's Up on Sunday - funny and thoroughly enjoyable. And not just for kids, there's adult humor too. So go see! Was also watching this hilarious French comedy called "The Visitor" with Niall, Max, Venus (them 2 looked wiped out from med school) and Antonio - check it out, it's deliciously outrageous.

I need to add Straitjacket Feeling to my list of anthems, besides Move Along etc. Was playing it all weekend long.
