NYC Vacation - Times Square


Can you spot the tourist?  :D

LJ Friend:  Oh, my word!  Is she still posting Christmas photos?
Other LJ Friend:  She is!  Wasn't her vacation like last year
LJF:  It was.  I swear, the woman doesn't have a life.
OLJF:  Do you remember all the posts she made about that church?
LJF:  You're referring to the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine?
OLJF:  How did I forget the name of that place?  She posted long enough about it!
LJF:  I know just what you mean!  I felt like Moses and the children of Israel stuck in the desert.  We wandered around that cathedral for forty years.  I was to the point of posting, "Let my people go!"
OLJF:  *snicker* 
LJF:  Even that was better than some of her recent posts.  Did you read the latest where she critiqued a funeral?
OLJF:  You are kidding me!
LJF:  No, indeed.  I think she gave it one star or two thumbs down.  I don't know.  I just skim to preserve my sanity.
OLJF:  That's crazy!
LFJ:  Oh, my gravy, you don't know crazy!  We are so fortunate not to be her children. 
OLJF:  What makes you say that?
LFJ:  Well, her cat has been ill, and she has taken it upon herself to send out a Litterbox Report daily to her children.
OLJF:  Those poor children!
LJF:  Oh, no, don't feel sorry for them.  The crazy didn't fall far from the tree.  When she forgets the Litterbox Report, they call her for the update. 
OLJF:  So the only sane one in the bunch is her husband, Mr. Hobo?
LJF:  Honey, when you live 30 years with bizarre, the crazy is bound to rub off.  Let's just politely look at her photos and be glad we don't receive the Litterbox Report.  


Times Square is always busy--even in the middle of the night in the midst of winter. 


This part of New York definitely doesn't sleep--ever!


The Bumbles have always enjoyed the energy of Times Square.  If nothing else is going on in the city, something is surely happening there.


You never know what you'll see there:  Naked Cowboy, Soldier with a machine gun, or a Hummer limo.

Bojojoti, you crack me up. Don't ever change.

[identity profile] bojojoti.livejournal.com 2010-03-04 07:32 am (UTC)(link)
I think it's too late to change!

*sheepish look* Did AJ show you that convo we had about you??? Nice to see you keep our anonymity!

Haha. No... I love your pics, even if they are STILL from last year :))) Tho I think I am glad you didn't post a pic of a naked cowboy (or did I miss that in my skimming? ;)).

I can live vicariously through your pics :)

I don't know about the Litterbox Report...but I do hope the ol' Throphs is ok.

Hey, I can keep a secret!

I think I did post the Naked Cowboy, but the little wuss wasn't out in the 20° weather!

I enjoy your photos, too! I especially love the photos of your children. They bring back great memories of our two at those ages. I had to show my husband the photo of Bekah as the prim and proper pantless bunny!

Trophy's kidneys are failing. We're doing what we can to help him, but it's a matter of time. As long as he is feeling okay and enjoying life, we'll continue trying.

your such a dollbaby!

You aren't one of those LJ friends who say the naughty things! You always say the nicest words.

[identity profile] frodo-esque.livejournal.com 2010-03-04 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
You are so hilarious!

Keep on postin', I always look forward to every one of your posts. =)

[identity profile] bojojoti.livejournal.com 2010-03-04 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
My LJ embarrasses me! But I'm going to suck it up and post the rest of my vacation anyway!

Thank you!

[identity profile] jazzyglo.livejournal.com 2010-03-04 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!! I love you! ((((hugs))))

We really, really enjoyed Times Square. On our last night there, we saw two very large drag queens getting into a limo in front of our hotel. It was a nice way to end our vacation in NYC. :-)

[identity profile] bojojoti.livejournal.com 2010-03-04 07:45 am (UTC)(link)
I love you right back!

Times Square can be a very entertaining place. We often end up saying, "Well, that's something you won't see back home!"

[identity profile] julia-here.livejournal.com 2010-03-04 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
I haven't commented, but that's because I suck lately- these have all been a lot of fun.

Julia, the words, the fingers, the finger-words

Never worry about commenting. I'd rather you spent your time photographing flowers and posting them.

[identity profile] myrna-nora.livejournal.com 2010-03-04 07:10 am (UTC)(link)
That "conversation" cracked me up. :D
Great pictures.

[identity profile] bojojoti.livejournal.com 2010-03-04 07:47 am (UTC)(link)
I'm embarrassed that I'm not finished posting my vacation, and I don't have anything else of interest to post--so I'm going to post those photos! Sometime this year...

[identity profile] deltamiss.livejournal.com 2010-03-04 09:18 am (UTC)(link)
You nut! Hahahahahaha!

Times Square is a tad intimidating to me, but it sure is exciting! :D

[identity profile] bojojoti.livejournal.com 2010-03-04 09:36 am (UTC)(link)
Guilty as charged!

[identity profile] krikketgirl.livejournal.com 2010-03-04 11:02 am (UTC)(link)
Hahahaha! I love you! I hope I'm as awesome as you are when my kids are grown (I pretend that's all that's holding me back).

[identity profile] bojojoti.livejournal.com 2010-03-04 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
So, you're saying that your children keep you prim and proper? Mine had the opposite effect on me!

I love you, too! (I've been thinking of everyone taking classes. By this time of the year, mental fatigue sets in and then spring beckons, and it is so hard! Hang in there!)

[identity profile] joyfulmelody.livejournal.com 2010-03-04 12:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Hahahahahahahahaa! *wheeze* Hehehehehehehehehe!



You're the best! Thanks for starting my morning off with a laugh and a big smile. You could post photos and commentary about last year's vacay for the next 5 years and we'd still love it! And you! :D

PS - Praying for Trophy and favorable Litterbox Reports. *hugs*

I'm seriously hoping it won't take five years!

Thanks for Trophy prayers.

[identity profile] arhyalon.livejournal.com 2010-03-04 02:40 pm (UTC)(link)
No, no! Keep posting!

[identity profile] bojojoti.livejournal.com 2010-03-04 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm shameless, so I shall!

[identity profile] brendamom.livejournal.com 2010-03-04 03:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Know what? I think that first photo is one of my very favorites. Perhaps one of the best tourist shots I've seen.

[identity profile] bojojoti.livejournal.com 2010-03-04 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I wish I'd put just a little flash on her face. I have such a problem with light--it's too much or too little!

Thanks!

[identity profile] brendamom.livejournal.com 2010-03-04 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Me too. I have a lot of problems with light. I like this one anyway.

[identity profile] lorelei-n.livejournal.com 2010-03-04 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
You crack me up!!

[identity profile] bojojoti.livejournal.com 2010-03-04 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm happy to amuse!

[identity profile] jennifleur.livejournal.com 2010-03-04 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
You are too silly.

[identity profile] bojojoti.livejournal.com 2010-03-04 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
It comes all too naturally!

[identity profile] bojojoti.livejournal.com 2010-03-05 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
It's just mind boggling that there can be such bustle and energy continually. The kids even visited on Christmas night, and there were people there even then.

[identity profile] curiouswombat.livejournal.com 2010-03-04 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh - you do have some cheeky friends!!!

Time square is, most certainly, something I don't get to see the like of - so I'm still enjoying the posts! I love that s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d hummer.

[identity profile] bojojoti.livejournal.com 2010-03-05 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I do! However, I maintained their anonymity out of the goodness of my heart. :)

I really do want to post the vacation to my journal to look at later, and I figure people can skim or skip as they please. I hate to bore anyone, however!

:D

[identity profile] bluiidmommy.livejournal.com 2010-03-06 02:10 pm (UTC)(link)
*snicker*

You crack me up!

We have a Hummer limo around here. I've only seen it a couple time and it always makes me laugh.

[identity profile] bojojoti.livejournal.com 2010-03-06 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
A Hummer is just the oddest vehicle to make into a limo!
