I heart Glenn Quinn and Updates

I am here at work, the nice lady is in bed already, and Andy is here next to me taking a stab at my copy of Brain Age for DS. He keeps shouting things like "I wrote a 7, not a zero!" and starting over, it's pretty funny.

Anyway, I'm here tonight mostly because I'm pissed at the tv show Angel at the moment, but also because I haven't written in a little while and I feel like I need to.

First off, the Angel thing. So Mike and I have finished watching Buffy (finally), and have since moved on to Angel. I feel very indifferent towards David Boreanz as a person, and he is even a little boring sometimes to me. However, the show is really entertaining, and witty like Buffy. Part of that entertainment is the fact that for 9 episodes, there was this wonderful character named Doyle (Glenn Quinn). I have a sneaking suspicion he was kicked off the show for a drug problem, but he was really really good on the show, not to mention easy on the eyes. (mostly because of his eyes, actually). Well here, I'll show ya'll:

Anyway he was amazing on the show, and all of a sudden he was off the show. Then I find out that he's actually DEAD in real life from a heroin overdose. Now I've developed this random (harmless) celebrity crush and I can't even see any recent work. And it really doesn't help that his other most notable acting work was being Mark on Roseanne, a show in which he was super boring and they didn't even let him use his great Irish brogue :(

Anyway I digress, but I just want Joss Whedon to know that he better have awesome new things coming in this show, because I am severely disappointed!

In other news, next week I am going to Orlando. And I found out that I am staying here:


I also get a room to myself with a king sized bed, and to thank me for coming, a top shelf open bar on the first night. Have I mentioned I'm not paying for a thing?

Speaking of things you do in sunny Orlando, I have started swimming again. I gained 5 pounds of muscle when I was on my swimming binge last year and then lost all the muscle and kept the fat when I stopped swimming for 2 months. My increasing ass has finally convinced me that I need to get my muscle on again, especially if I wanna look good for the sleep conference and the gaggle of weddings I have this year and early next year (one in California, woohoo!) And it's a lot easier to swim now that the weather is not below zero anymore.

I'm sure I have more to update but I'm tired of typing so I'll just say one more thing, I'm definitely getting a tattoo this year. I've been saying it forever, and it's gonna happen. It's gonna be really small and not in a very out in the open area (not on my ass though) and I'll take pictures and post them as soon as I actually get it accomplished.

C) You suck for your free Orlando trip

D) I find it funny that you warn Joss Whedon to "improve" his show that went off the year several years ago :-)

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
