The Wonder of Google


I was curious as to which building Whitney lived in seeing as Gramercy hardly has any highrise buildings. I was almost positive she didn't live in Gramercy at all so I set out to figure out this mystery. (Which, I know, is totally ridiculous, but if I admit that I know it is ridiculous than isn't it sort of less ridiculous?) I even went so far as to walk all the way to Grand Central from Union Square searching for this highrise...I should have realized that there was an easier way though.

Today Stephanie IMed me and asked me where Whitney lived in Gramercy. I was first amazed that someone else cared and then relieved that someone else cared, so I did what I do most of the time. I googled it. Turns out Stephanie used to live right near this building and she confirmed that my google answer was correct. But now I am left wondering, is this okay? All I had to do to find out Whitney's building was google "Where does Whitney Port live in NYC?". Is it a blessing or a curse that information is so easy to find on the Internet? If I were Whitney I would say curse, luckily when you google me nothing relevant comes up until page 6...then again, my life isn't filmed on MTV.

(P.S. I am on my "I want to move and I want a dog kick" again, so I looked up if there were available apartments in her building, and now I wish someone was taping my life and paying me per episode. I mean, I'm interesting! I work with many interesting people, many of which will make you laugh more than Olivia ever will!)
