More Than a Wee Bit of Magical Shenanigans!

...is the catchphrase for the awesome Darby O'Gill and the Little People movie I got for Christmas from my brother.

I won't lie to you people, I don't feel like writing a blog. My PMS hit me today, and if I haven't said it before, I'll say it now: My PMS is much different than other people's. People get cramps and bloating and blah blah whatever. I don't get ANY physical symptoms, only mental ones. I get depressed, afraid, giddy, paranoid, angry, lethargic, catastrophic, etc. Usually all in one day. It's like I'm a crazy person for about 4 days a month. It goes away the first day of my period, and my mood dramatically improves from there. But this time period sucks for me.

I do want to mention some things I really liked about today:

1--I FINALLY fracking got 5 stars on "Raining Blood" on medium in Guitar Hero 3. I'd moved on to the "Hard" setting, so I was pissed that I could beat the songs on Hard no problem, but I couldn't get 5 stars on ONE SONG on medium. Well I did it tonight, and I got a piratey guitar for all my hard work. You can bet I'm gonna use that damned guitar for the rest of the game.

2--I got to see new pictures of Mike as a young child. He doesn't have many pictures of himself but his mom knew I wanted to see more so she sent a bunch in the mail. I know that doesn't sound exciting, but I love seeing young pictures of people, especially someone I've known intimately for 2 years.

3--I bought Mario Galaxy today!! Actually I got it for free because my brother bought me Drake's Fortune, which Mike already had, so I traded it in for Mario Galaxy. I'm very excited to play it.

4--I got to talk to Angie today, and hammer out some of the details of her return to her high school homeland for a few days next week. I haven't seen her in a year, and she hasn't been back here in about 3 years. It's gonna be a good time.

5--I saw Raj and his girlfriend Ashwani today, and got to share an Indian buffet with them. Mmmm Chicken Curry and Makhani. Great stuff.

So I know I owe some people a geeky D&D blog (accchemJohn) and I swear I'll do it. I also owe people some pictures, and I swear I'll post those too. Just give me time to get over this mental nastiness, and I'll do it.

Oh and Happy Holidays folks.

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
