I don't only write about getting drunk in here as one of my old friends has just told me....do I? Maybe b/c all there is to do in this cow town is get drunk, plus getting drunk is just plain fun.

So this weekend I not only got really drunk, I went out to eat 3 times. Friday we celebrated Sara's 22nd birthday (we're all getting so old) and went to eat at the Outback Steakhouse in Henrietta. I love Australia, and I love steak, so I was set. Before that we had gone to the mall and I bought a cute little grass skirt so I can be a hula dancer for halloween (and also freeze to death). I also ended up buying my mom a Christmas present. Who does that? It's like barely October.

So after the mall and dinner we went to see Under the Tuscan Sun. It was a great, funny, happy movie, except the last 2 minutes of the movie I would have taken out. Just didn't fit. All the Italian guys were sexy and funny, of course. And I love to see anything about Italian culture because my family has always been so proud of being Italian and still holding up some Italian customs. Unlike my brother who wants to forget about being Italian and turn Irish, I will be glad to keep being proud of it. And now I want to go to Italy soooo badly.

Saturday my parents came up to watch Pat's last home season rugby game (what?). It was the only game I'd watched, b/c they decided to keep having stupid weekday games when I couldn't make it. But I was glad I saw that one, it was really interesting, and they won, making their record 4-0. Pat got in some amazing tackles (and got beat up a little bit) and my parents had a good time.

After my parents left, I tried to do some work but ended up watching part of a movie, and then going to a birthday party for one of the guys on the rugby team. I'm really glad I went b/c I had a great time, and not a lot of people were there. I hadn't eaten after I had lunch at about 3, so I played asshole like 5 times and then beer pong and got reaaaaally drunk. I barely remember going back to Pat's and eating some random pieces of pizza then crashing.

Today I went to lunch/dinner with Pat and his parents, which was a good time too. We went to Fratelli's, where they give you about 4 helpings more than you need. I got plain alfredo, which I took most of home. It was still good, and I got to talk to Pat's parents for awhile. I've never actually talked to them both at the same time before, it was interesting.

I have soooo much work this week which is gonna suck so I'm gonna go and maybe try to do some of it.

The Deal with Kevin Spacey: Part 2

Image
I figure I better finish this captivating cliff hanger before 2013, so I'm writing this just under the wire. Starting from the end of the previous blog entry, here we go: A little over a year ago now, my best friend Angie posted a link to my Facebook page of a trailer for Kevin Spacey in  Richard III . The thing is, this was not a movie, it was a stage play. And the even better thing is, he was performing at BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music). Mike and I had already moved away from Brooklyn at that time, but I had gone to BAM before, and it happened to be a quick walk from our old neighborhood. That got me thinking that it would not be difficult to get there. I looked on the BAM website, and saw that tickets were affordable. Also, Bank of America members (which, regrettably, I am) got early access to tickets. I believe the tickets went on sale in early November 2011. I called BAM the minute the box office opened that day, and ordered 2 tickets for Mike and I to attend in February

Celebrities May Be Smaller Than They Appear

Image
If there's one thing I learned since moving to NYC, it's that celebrities are tiny people. Usually both thin and short. When I met most of the cast of Ugly Betty , that was what I noticed first. I met Amanda, Mark, Hilda, and saw Betty (I don't know their real names, I don't even watch the show actually) and they looked like the littlest people alive. America Ferrera (I lied, I know her name) must be like 5'0. Last week I went to a broadway show called "Spring Awakening" that starred Hunter Parrish (Silas on Weeds ). On stage he looked thin but tall. Once we spoke to him afterwards he was shorter than me (I was leaning back in the pic) and definitely thinner than me. The day after meeting Hunter, I found "no parking" temporary signs on my street. These signs are posted all over the place when a filming is going on. I looked at what was filming, and lucky me, it was Flight of the Conchords , season 2! I've mentioned here before that

Reflections

Well once again, I'm getting a post in just under the wire. It's been about 8 months since I last posted, and that makes Simon 11 months old right now. I looked back at my last post, and many of the "bad" things have changed. We can go to restaurants now, and we can even bring Simon if it is appropriate! I don't have to run around like crazy trying to get things done, because Simon will sit and play by himself for awhile if I need to do something. Likewise, I can take my time eating again. After about the 4-5 month mark, things got progressively easier. He learned to hold and play with objects, then to sit up, then to crawl, and now he stands (holding on to things). This makes him more and more independent. He has 8 teeth now, and eats most of what we eat, but in tiny pieces. He can wave, and clap, and say little words like mama, dada, baba, hey, and yay. He is tall for his age, but slim. He looks like Mike from the front and me from the side. He hugs and danc
