When People talk to themselves in NYC it is kind of interestingly funny!

Today...I am still alive. I think my job description is to make the impossible happen and be in 2 places at once. I think I have already mastered it.

God is a funny guy who is always there for me. As I suffer each day, He is there for me and I love it. Reminding me in every situation, which I am noting without Him. As my days get more stressful, I have more joy in my heart than ever and I become happier and nicer. What is that? Who does that? Well, I call it a blessing. To be able to handle the abuse I go through as an intern is a miracle.

So, my day was really interesting. I am reading a book about Christian’s vs Atheism. This is my subway book. Instead of staring at people I read. It works. In this book there are many things to think about and study. I can't wait to have more time to explore the debates between the two and have answers when I come in situation such as the book is describing.

Well, the shoot went well today, no one died or got physically hurt. On one shoot a guy almost cut his finger off with a bagel knife. I guess in a time like that I can handle some blood everywhere and direct him to the nearest hospital to get stitches.

Back to the shoot, Julian Schnabel and his family are very nice people. As I was in the elevator bringing the crew their lunch, Julian decided to hop in the elevator with me. Okay...I know who he is but...okay. So he slyly, looked in my bag of goodies and asked me what it was. Okay, you can clearly see they are sandwiches, but being curious he asked, “What is in the bag?” I said, "They are sandwiches for lunch." Julian, "They are for the crew?" I said, "Yes, but you are more that welcome to have a tuna or turkey sandwich." Now, this is after I ordered him lunch from Pastis, which is a pretty well known eatery that is very good. Julian said, "No." I knew he wanted a sandwich, so I asked him, "Would you like me to order you a tuna sandwich from Ready to Eat?" I don't know what it is with guys and tuna sandwiches but I haven't met one that does not like them. So Julian said with a smile on his face, "Yes!" Okay, then a tuna sandwich for the man it is. Huh. Nice guy.

Okay that was a story I felt I need to write about why? I don't know, it was kind of cool, in the elevator with an artistic mind, and all he wants is a tuna sandwich and I have the AMEX to get it for him! Yesssssssssss! Spending someone else money and not getting the bill is a dream come true.

So…I handled my day and digested it in the end. I am starting to get to be a tuff old bird. I have to be able to hold my own and think really quickly during time of crisis. Especially when the Fashion Director of L’uomo Vogue needs his double espresso and I am trying to coordinate hair and make up with the moho driver calling me and confirming. Ahhh….composure is beautiful thing. Only by the grace of God, I tell ya.

At the end of my day, I left the crew with their dinner and call times for tomorrow. I took the subway home, got off and a gentleman who was homeless asked me if I had any food for him, that he could eat for dinner? Well, I remembered I had a bag of chips and a smashed donut in my purse. I pulled them out and said here this is what I have. He looked at me and said, "I am diabetic I can't eat the donut but I will take the chips." Huh? I laughed and thought to myself, "I guess beggars can be choosers!" Lol! Awkward! 

I finally made it home, did my 30 min workout and now I am going to wash off the stench of the day and go to bed. I have another long 3 days waiting of me.
