There's no place like home

I noticed that there is no place like home. Everytime I come in, I always feel a little better. I hate it when I'm on the train and have to pee, but I can't b/c I'm not close to home. But when I'm finally getting closer to my building, its like I have to pee 20x more - like your bladder knows your getting closer. So then I'm in the elevator doing this weird dance until I realize there is a camera on my elevator, and I'm sure I'm amusing the doorman.

Speaking of home, I found a stash of my mom's mini Purell Hand Sanitizers. She has 50! I noticed people at work have them on their desk, but this size is so cute. Girls could put it in the their tiny clutches, and guys could put it in their pockets w/out the bulk. I don't know why I mentioned that, but anyway, moving on....

My brother emailed me reminding me more about our day together. So let me do a little bit of updating. And his email goes:

"My God, so many places we went to we forgot, we also went to The
Maritime Hotel, Zara, Otto Tootsie Plohound, and the PRADA store...
That was a lot of fun. Let's do it again soon. I know a great brunch
place in the lower East Side. : )

Here's a fashion New York City Guide:

He's right, I forgot some places. The Maritime Hotel was cool, it looked like a ship because the windows were round. The PRADA store had a circular glass elevator w/ seats and their dressing room was all high tech. If you stepped into the fitting room, the door closes but its clear glass. So everyone can see you change... until you step on this big button and the glass automatically fogs up. Pretty cool. I would feel like I'm in a Men in Black or Matrix movie (some futuristic movie). The funny thing about the shoe store called Otto Tootsie Plohound was that ALL their employees were Filipino. I mean ALL. It was a little weird b/c at first I thought "how cool", but then I thought about discrimination (what if a person of another race wanted a job there). They're my peoples, so I'm not going to complain so much. And this staffing wasn't only in that particular store, I heard all Otto Tootsie Plohound stores only employed Filipinos. So um, if you're looking to hook up w/ a Filipino guy/girl, I guess there's a place to start looking =P

Now that I'm reading up on the stores my brother took me to, I didn't realize that he took me to places where they filmed Sex and the City and where all the celebrities shop. Too bad I didn't spot anyone interesting.
