Broadway is Back - Including Raul !!

Friday morning I woke up and didn't feel that great... really... I mean it... I really didn't... I swear *cough... cough* - So I decided to call in sick to work and then attend the Broadway is Back "show" at the Marquis. The large and prodigious rumor mill asserted that each performer(s) there would sing a song from their show. This would make the whole affair run probably about an hour and a half. Not so..... I feel bad for the people who waited for hours. The show was only a half an hour at best.

Following is a link to the article describing the event. I'm too lazy to properly recount the festivities. PLAYBILL ARTICLE

and here is a pic I took at the end: Yes, that is "Elphaba" next to Ms. Lansbury......


Since I had a plethora of time left in the day - I decided to play tourist in my hometown and take some pics. The obligatory stops at "The Tree", Rock Center stores, and Radio City.



On the side of Radio City:


As if I didn't drink enough coffee so far, I made my regular pilgrimage to my java addicted soul's mecca - Porto Rico Coffee on Bleeker and then to Enfleurage where they have the most delicious selection of candles and soaps. (The subway was particularly fragrant by the way...)

Dear God I was hungry! Good thing, because I was meeting some friends for Mexican at my favorite place that also haaaaaapens to have my favorite waiter. First a stop at Posh for drinks (I was invited for the Secret Gay Conspiracy meeting) where I was introduced to a friend's friend with whom I had a spirited conversation about.... Raul. Let's just say we agree to disagree :-) However, he said I was pretty so he automatically becomes a new BFF and gets a blog mention :-) His blog: cowsinthebarn

Capping the evening off was some Coldstone which is conveniently down the block from the restaurant. The last time I had it, it was bland and tasteless. This time, I picked well... dark chocolate mint ice-cream with brownies.

After the sheer amount of food I consumed in such a short period of time, it was quite a surprise that I didn't throw up on the train back to my car. Although I did feel like it.

Definitely not a Weight Watchers kinda day.

Somewhere Over the Rainbow..... is the mall

So I had another day off today (shut up Eric) and realized it was a great day to go to the mall to look for a shirt/blouse/sweater to go with my "interview skirt". It's the last day of the horrific cold I had - no more dripping, I could hear again, etc.... so I definitely felt better and needed to get out of the house.

While I was shopping (didn't find what I was looking for), it seems it rained pretty hard - when I emerged from the underground parking, this is the first thing I saw:


And to make it even more interesting, as I turned the corner... it doubled as the clouds passed through it! I wish it were clearer, but I had to act quick... it was disappearing.



If I belived in such things.... I would think it was a sign... a very good sign. :-)

A Day In The Life - A Photo Essay of sorts

Last weekend was a glorious one in NYC - the weather was perfect and I'd like to share some of the photos I took last Saturday. I've lived in the City almost all of my life and am never at a loss for things that catch my eye. Given the fact that my camera comes everywhere with me..... I always manage to stop and take a shot or two... or three... or four - sometimes to the dismay of my companions :-) Walk - stop - walk - stop...

Journey begins.. waiting for the train to pass...

Two of the many doors...
