Where is Mondo? I am pretty sure she returned from NYC but it's been awfully quiet on the blog without her! I expected at least a small comment about the infamous subway ride or a brief "Spam!"
I am tired today! I did the Yuma run for work a day late and since I refuse to spend the night there on a weekend, I powered the 200 miles out there early this morning and just returned home a few minutes ago. Now I'm about 1000 miles past due on the car's oil change so it's off to Quick Lubes in the morning.
What a day!
Spam, spam, spam, spam!

Sorry. I posted once but deleted it.
ReplyDeleteI still have your pink umbrella. Didn't need it but it threatened to rain the rest of the time I was in NYC.
I have noticed a pattern to this trip. You and I walk our feet off for three days. You leave. I go to a museum and think: Why? Why do I do this to myself? So I go back to the hotel for a nap and swear the only vacations I will ever take again will involve pink umbrellas in drinks and lounge chairs by the pool.
But the next day I feel great and walk for hours and hours.
I wish I could walk for 5-6 hours a day in my real life. I would look and feel a whole lot better.
I saw three movies in NYC: Crash (compelling in its unrelenting unpleasantness if you like that sort of thing), Madagascar (one of those geeky cartoons where all the gender neutral characters are voiced by men and the lone female brings the only blips of sex--Jada Pinket plays a big fat hippo--see it's funny because she is a big fat hippo. What is it with these guys? Even characters that are inanimate objects are all male. Don't they realize by neutering the male it says more about them than it does about their characters? See why I erase my posts?) and Bunty and Babli (a fun-loving bollywood musical starring two very attractive young actors that went on way too long--there was an intermission--so I left because I had a plane to catch the next morning and my feet hurt. But I really liked it and plan to watch the ending on dvd when it comes out.)
I also went back to Chinatown and the Lower East side which is my favorite part of town. I bought some more tableware and am waiting to see if they actually ship it to me.
The best thing is I went on the Staten Island Ferry (for the first time). It is FREE and has great views. I sang the Working Girl theme. I wanted to ride on it back and forth all day (because it is FREE!) but I had to start walking uptown.
My Newsradio DVDs arrived after I got home (my favorite TV show of all time!) and the Newsradio building is somewhere on 42nd and Broadway. How did I miss it? Can’t wait until next year.

p.s. it will never stand up in court.
