Weddings

I went to a wedding this past weekend. It was a co-worker, I'm not super great friends with her but she's really nice and everything. I figured a few things out about weddings this weekend.

What I want at my wedding/reception
-a ceremony under a half hour long, preferably someplace beautiful and not in a church
-about 5 different kinds of never-ending cheesecakes, brownies, and cookies
-open bar, top shelf included if money allows
-current music or non-cheesy classics (except "Everything I Do"...that song must be included, no matter how cheesy)
-some kind of dancing around a circle thing...for some reason I really enjoy dancing in a circle. Damn you Hava Nagila dance!
-boquet throwing/garter tossing

What I don't want at my wedding/reception
-a really short aisle to walk down, if I'm finally gonna have a ton of people watching me, I want it to last for a few minutes
-a strapless dress with pearls...is EVERYONE doing that these days??
-play that funky music white boy, love shack, celebrate good times, the electric slide, you know the rest
-crying babies
-any kind of "if you want the bride and groom to kiss you have to sing" shit
-father daughter dance...am I uncomfortable with showing affection to family...yes
-more than 3 speeches
-to get drunk...or my husband to get drunk

Well that's it for now, and don't think I'm all wanting to get married anytime soon (yeah I know what you're thinking Andrew) I was just thinking about it for the future.

Oh yeah and I have a few pictures, which I will be posting as soon as I can steal Andrew's computer from him to do it, or as soon as I bring my camera to work so I can do it here.

Last thing....Andrew has a very important interview tomorrow so wish him luck, and I'm trying to have a new car by the end of the week so wish me luck too!!

I agree, traditional weddings are too over-rated... Besides, your too creative to have a typical wedding. When you have yours it will be great!

PS. Good luck with your car and Andrews interview!

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

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
