only in new york part 1

*this is the first in a million-part series of things that i think would only happen in this fair city*

so i'm walking to the subway this morning, and pass this woman on a cell phone. she was pretty irate, yelling in some caribbean dialect into the phone. now, i am familiar with such dialects because my office mate, michele, is jamaican and sometimes talks to her friends or family during the day. anyway, my point is, i can never understand what michele is saying, but you can sometimes pick out little english words or names that don't translate.

as i walked past irate cell phone woman this morning, i heard her yell "ryan seacrest" and then more things i couldn't understand. why was this woman so angry about ryan seacrest at 9 a.m.? what could she possibly be so upset about? i thought it was a bit ridiculous and therefore hilarious, and i'm sure you would have thought the same.
