Can We Just Discuss...

How great a movie UNFAITHFUL is? And just how gorgeous Diane Lane is? I just need a moment...

Boy did I have a hard day. Well, I did. Work was nuts, so I took my lunch break to finish the Fiction section of The New Yorker: a fictionalized account of the last day of Muhammad Atta. My reading experience was slightly marred by the fact that I was sitting right behind a bunch of fat banker boy's behinds. Down wind, if you know what I mean...So after work, I got my nails done. I met a nice girl who happens to live in my building. Go figure. Nice to make new friends.

Met Jen for dinner at Perbacco cafe. We explained to the waiter why we couldn't order his prized meat balls ("We're observing Passover. No bread.") when the table next to us overheard and exclaimed, "I thought tonight was the last night of Passover!" Apparently there are some disagreements about when Passover exactly ends. To be safe, I'm banking on tomorrow night.

Tomorrow night J and I will be in Texas for yet ANOTHER wedding. But first we're hanging with Em and Jon at their Dallas pad. I'm so excited. We're gonna do authentic Tex-Mex and then ride a mechanical bull.

Did I mention that last weekend I was visiting my friend Gill in D.C.? I'm a woman of the world. Or, at least the States. I liked D.C. The museums were free (anything owned by the Smithsonian), the weather was warmer, and the food was slightly cheaper. Gill has the hugest apartment: A duplex with a spare room for her boyfriend's studio, tons of light, a winding staircase. I bet she pays what I pay for just my little East Village room. Friday night we hung out in Adam's Morgan and had dinner at a Latin themed place. We had mojitos, and excellent fish. Then on Saturday Gill took me to the Holocaust Museum. We spent hours there. I wanted to absorb all the information, but it was just so much to take in. Funny how no matter how many times I read about the events that led up to it, I can still manage to forget some things. It didn't dampen our day, however. We sat on the lawn by the Mall, took in the sun, walked to a tea place called "Teaisms" which is where I would absolutely live if I lived in D.C. And by live, I mean eat in for every meal of the day. It is SO CHEAP. You can get a bowl of sweet potatoes in a spicy Asian peanut sauce for $2.50, or a bowl of cucumber ginger salad. Ice tea has free refills. Can't beat it! Saturday night we met up with one of Gill's friends in Georgetown for dinner. It was very much a college scene. Tons of kids crawling everywhere. I liked it for a day, and was happy I live in New York.

I'm taking Allegra, which I think is why I required a nap on Saturday. And also why I fell asleep during a one on one meeting yesterday. Literally, I was dreaming. But it wasn't my fault! I blame pollen.

So right now I'm trying to figure out what to do with the room that we'll have open once Liv leaves in June. My bro is interested in living there during the summer--not the worst idea. It would make the 'rents happy, but...Hello? Welcome back to high school. Or childhood, rather. I just know I'm going to go nuts yelling at him to keep the toilet seat down and take his dirty shoes off when he walks in.

I hear The West End is closing. Aly told me last night, when we met up for some corporate promotional party at Bowlmor Lanes. I couldnt' believe. West End is a mainstay of Columbia culture! How else are the underage kids going to drink? Where shall they go? Skeevy Soha on Amsterdam? Cannons (is that even still open)? Nacho Mamas is lame, and I think it is under new ownership. And The Heights? They only open their rooftop one night a year. Poor Columbia kids! The Beat poets are going to turn over in their graves...

Speaking of Bowlmor. I've been going to this party every year. I make a point not to miss it--how can you refuse an open bar and food FOR FREE? Aly and Jen and I took over a pool table and pretended we were badass pool players. I actually overheard a guy tell the girl he was with, "You know, I have a pool table back at my place." Lamo.

Working on the next show...May 9th at Mo Pitkins. I'm so excited. We're getting the BIG ROOM--the one one usually has to pay for to have a show there. I don't like charging people entry fees for something they got to experience for free nine times before. If you're in the neighborhood, please stop by. The show starts at 8:30pm. Dan is working on making me a website hopefully.

Alright. More after Texas!
