The Ninja Slippers strike again!

December 16, 2008

The Ninja Slippers strike again! The boys at Ploomy named our very own Suzanne “C-Cup” Leighton Ploomy Girl #10. Check out her interview on the site. It’s very educational to say the least.

A DNC December to Remember

December 16, 2008

The Cancer Benefit & Zone D’Erotica Fashion Show that Liz put together for her friend was a success. Good to see the bars full all night to benefit Liz’ good friend Toni Mercer. Causes like this are exactly what we should be supporting on an ongoing basis within our communities. Below is a picture of a few of our ninjas at Roc Bar for the event.

The Elite MMA Friendship Tournament in support of Mike D. on December the 13th was also a huge success. No match results needed. Just a fun time with teammates, some pretty awesome stuff being raffled off to raise money for medical bills, and some delicious BBQ ala Martin. Good times with the Elite family!

And by the way, did you happen to catch the seats we had at the Houston Texans game Sunday? Not bad huh? Nice view indeed. Thanks Spencer, Rashke, and Robbie for that one!

1st Month in Albany Retrospective

November 20, 2008

The Good:

JOB – Vicarious Visions (Activision) is awesome: my bosses, co-workers, colleagues, environment, products, you name it. This has far exceeded my expectations and I can’t wait to see what happens next. I’m definitely in this for the long haul!

WEATHER – I’ve never lived in a state with 4 seasons and I moved here in the fall (which is like a Texas winter). The scenery is so beautiful. I love running in the many parks the Capital Region has to offer. For the first time, I get to live in the snow!!!! However, everyone is telling me that the snow’s euphoric effects will wear off in 2 weeks.

HISTORY – I’m a history buff so I eat this stuff up and fully enjoy it.

LOCATION – Even though this city is small, it’s conveniently located in between the slopes and NYC so I can get my fix any weekend I start to get the itch! Plus, I can drive to Boston or Montreal in a matter of hours!

The Bad:

LOCATION – If I wasn’t such a nature-loving outdoor girl, I would go nuts because “the city” is like a northeastern La Grange. I can see why people call this place SMALLbany. I still don’t think it’s all that bad though. I was ready to get out of a heavily polluted and super hot city.

FRIENDS & FAMILY – I miss all my loved ones ❤

The Ugly:

LOCALS – Although I feel that generalizing is bad, I must confess that 99.9% of the encounters I’ve had with the locals have been exceedingly unsavory.

SHOPPING – This place only has 1 decent mall. Crossgates Mall is about the same size as the smallest mall in Houston. Ugh… I am missing the Galleria, Katy Mills, and Memorial City Malls. Looks like I’ll be buying a lot of stuff online.

FOOD – Everything here is way underseasoned and bland. I’ll be carrying hotsauce with me everywhere I go!
