Poor Sister
Not only does Melissa not have her Internet or cable installed in her apartment, but she also has missed numerous important celebrity citings….like Justin Timberlake. Melissa, get your A game on.
However, Melissa, because I feel sorry for you that you are bored in the evenings (until Pete moves up and you guys start hitting the clubs and cultural hotspots of the NYC scene), I have created a game for you…
….I also understand the logistical dilemma posed here seeing as the game is on Popcultureyay.com and Melissa doesn’t have the Internet, but if I know my sister, she is finding a way to access it somewhere - most likely at a Starbucks. (that punctuation is all wrong, I know. edit please sister)….
So here is Melissa’s “I Just Moved to NYC but Somehow Get A Little Bored And Need Something To Do That Isn’t Shopping at Bed Bath & Beyond Until I Start Work and Learn My Way Around” Scavenger Hunt.
Melissa, you are required to locate all of the following items that I either think are in Manhattan, could be in Manhattan, or should be in Manhattan. You must check them off, post about them, or send me pictures on the phone of them (sorry others who don’t get pictures). Others made add items that they think you should see as well.
- someone over the age of 70 cussing like a sailor (bonus points* if it’s an F bomb)
- someone peeing in the street
- someone yelling out a window on the 3 floor or above
- The Today Show
- A Starbucks grande NF SF Vanilla Latte
- A group of tourists from another country (bonus points* if they are from Scandinavia)
- A really funny window display
- A famous tv celebrity (ok, these types shouldn’t even need to be included, because it is ALWAYS necessary to report such things)
- Some serious bling
- a red Hermes bag
- a jewelry store with a doorman out front
- 6 yellow cabs in a row
- a penny on the sidewalk
- greasy NY pizza with sausage
- ANYTHING Carolina Panthers (serious bonus points*)
- a photo shoot
- Bergdorf Goodman
- a bird that isn’t a pigeon
- dad’s book in front of a NYC landmark
OK, I need to go think of more.
* you don’t really get points because they don’t actually count towards anything

I hope Melissa doesn’t become desensitized by living in NYC. I’ll cry if she’s all…whatever, I always see Usher out with Rosie O’Donnell, they’re just regular people y’all, I mean, you guys. Just leave them alone and focus on your own life.
ooh ooh ooh how about one of the guys from Queer Eye? (Is that show still on?)
And I’ll give bonus points if you kiss the Naked Cowboy.
Yo,
It was great bumping into you today outside Barneys. Sorry if I bothered you by talking so long - I know you were in a hurry. Also, I’m really sorry you can’t make it to my party tonight, but I understand that hanging the bike racks takes priority. I hope next time you can come though.
I saw JT the other day at 71st St and we were both saying how cool it would be if you could come hang out. He thought he saw you outside YogaWorks but said you looked busy and was too nervous to say hi. Maybe we could do something Saturday pm?
Peace,
Diddy
Oh YEAH Amanda! Good Ones! Mel, we will definitely need pics of you kissing the Naked Cowboy.
(I think you may have to pay him though…he’s like a photography hooker or something).
I love Queer Eye. I don’t know if it is still on either…I will research. When I’m not at work. It’s bad enough that I am on popcultureyay. I don’t think I should google “queer”
Diddy,
It’s cool–Sorry if I was kind of short with you, but I was running late to dinner, and you know how Jay-Z and B get if you’re not punctual.
Tell JT I can probably get together Saturday night–I have to meet some peeps but maybe you could join–I’ll put you both on the list so you don’t have any trouble at the door.
Kisses,
Mel
Amanda, FEAR NOT. I will never, ever become desensitized. Ever.
I may have already witnessed a few of the items on Lindsay’s list. I heard an elderly woman say the f-word to a pharmacist, and I think Mark may have eaten pizza with sausage on the very first night (Mark or Pete, can you confirm?).
I don’t recall. Anything from that night.
Oh, except for you school-marmin’ those guys at the pizza place at 2:30 a.m., grilling them on whether or not they were making fun of Mark, who had asked them to “give it up” in the entryway. High fives!
