Trying to Concisely Sum Up Two Great Weekends

So I forgot completely to write about going home to Geneva to hang out with Joe and Sue, so I'll briefly sum up the high points and post some pics.

High Points
-Going to Friendlys and getting an awesome burger and sundae
-Dance Party involving Joe and I
-Watching UTube videos
-Seeing Lisa be crazy
-Seeing Carmen and friends
-Sue being drunk and disorderly
-Joe and I "sleeping together"

Here's a few pics:

Oh yes, another one of Erica being strange



Last one, I swear!



And I just really liked this picture


Then this weekend was the weekend of Mike. Friday he hosted his Geva Improv show, and did a wonderful job. I still can't get over the fact that I'm dating a performer, evidenced in me telling everyone I saw there "yeah my boyfriend is in the show". I didn't get any pictures of him hosting, well not with my camera, but if you're REALLY interested in stalking him, you can go to the geva improv blog. I did get pictures of the next night with my camera though.

Saturday he was actually performing IN the show, and I had a large group of people with me to see it, so I gave Angel my camera while I took pictures with Mike's camera. Both nights the shows were really funny, and even though he ran away from a push-up contest, I was very proud of him. He really is awesome in front of people, very charismatic, it's so cool. Okay sorry....done now. But you still get to see some pics of him! Muhahaha!

Disclaimer: These pictures will pretty much all be blurry. There is a lot of movement in improv, and I'm sure my camera has some kind of function to take care of it, but I was too lazy to see where that was, so you'll have to deal with the blurry-ness.

So after the show Mike, Angel, and I went to Monty's Corner and who do I see, but pretty much my entire group of guy friends for 3 years of college. I hadn't seen them since I graduated, and they didn't hate me any more (Pete, Davey, AC, Tim, etc) so that was cool. They were the exact same as I remembered, cracking jokes and being random. We even got a serenade for our exit out of the bar. It was great seeing them again.

So I stayed at Mike's saturday into today, and since I never have anything to do on sundays and neither does he, we hung out allll day. We went to BJs, Denny's, and I started watching Battlestar Gallactica, which is definitely worth watching. Since we didn't get out of bed til after 1pm, that took up the entire day. I figured I should go home at some point so here I am, I just finished my taxes, and let me tell you, I'm gonna be one rich woman in 8-15 days.

That's all I got, it's late and I'm working twice tomorrow. So g'night.

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
