Overheard in New York

I’m always hearing the strangest things on the subway or when I’m walking down the street. Sometimes I see strange things like the other day when I saw a full on butt across the platform. That’s right, girl bending down and digging around in her bag for something. She seemed distressed, maybe too much so to notice that her entire bum was flashing everyone going downtown on the N train. You seriously want to ride the subway sans panties? I don’t think so!

Anyway, so Travis‘s stylist Patrick asked me what I was doing today. I told him, unpacking boxes and reading blogs.

“Blogs?” he said.
“Yes, blogs, don’t you read blogs? I read over 100.”
“I don’t like reading anything on the internet.”
“Oh i don’t read, I look at pictures.”

Then he told me about Overheard In New York. It’s essentially a blog full of quotes that people overhear other people saying around the city. Some of it is racy. But most is amusing and so New York.

This is my favorite.

Guy: –Wait, who’s Bob?
Girl: SpongeBob.
Guy: Oh, right, right.
