More Randomness

I really don't like how my first posts of a day are first and the last ones are last. You would think it would make sense to be that way, but I don't like it.

So I guess I haven't really updated much lately with goings on in my life. I've been kinda busy, and I really don't want to try to do an update of everything, so I'll do a rundown in no particular order of interesting things in these past couple of weeks:

-I learned my boss is responsible for discovering beta gamma frequencies in the brain
-I also learned that Anime can actually be pretty good
-I watched Donnie Darko for the first time and immediately fell in love with both the film and the Gary Jules song at the end
-I became much more intimately acquainted with Henrietta
-I found that my friends from high school (including Charles, Joe Petro, and Chris O) are still the same (in a good way)
-I learned how to open a tab at a bar
-I got a free mattress
-I played a mean game of Texas Hold 'Em
-I learned more about love
-Andrew met my parents/grandma/Lauren
-I watched Shaun of the Dead (I might have already said something about that)
-Andrew and I had a fun searching for car keys party
-Speaking of keys....he also bought a cute BMW that I can't wait to ride in
-My roommate Adam got beat up on his birthday : (
-I took a puff of a cigarette (oooooh)
-I traveled to bars on Monroe Ave, a first for me

Okay that's enough for now. What's also weird is that I read my horoscope online randomly at work the other day because Angel was doing it, I never usually do. Anyway two completely different horoscopes said that the next night I was to see someone important from my past. Well the next night I went out in Geneva and Chris Campbell (friends since we were born, never see him anymore) walked into Gallaghers. I haven't seen him in a bar since probably... 3 year ago. Kinda strange.

I've also been getting strange feelings about doing things lately. Some things that I do or that happen to me I think "this is happening for a reason" like a bigger overall reason in my life. I can't explain it very well but I think everything happens for a reason and it's a little scary right now. Mmm nevermind, it's too hard to convey what I'm talking about.

Okay I am making myself stop blogging tonight! Three in one day is more than enough.

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
