Cherry Blossom Festival

My first time at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and I wonder why I never went before...

Vegas Baby!

Irina's Bridal Shower

Vadim, I hope you don't get mad that I posted this cutout of your face on my blog. I couldn't resist. I never had more fun at a bridal shower in my life. I learned in Russian tradition that if you give someone a knife or something pointy, it's bad luck. So, when you request knife sets on a registry, you must give the knife-giver pennies. I think I must have been Russian in a past life.

Alien from Space, not from Mexico

I was on the subway Sunday watching a subway performer donned with antenna who proclaimed "I'm an alien from Space, not from Mexico". After he played a medley of nursery rhymes on his saxophone ranging from "Pop Goes the Weasel" to "Three Blind Mice", he said "I landed on earth searching for earthly currency. Please help me go back to my planet."

McPheever

That was my prediction from day 1.

Smith from MySpace

hi queen

Am smith nicholas by name when i went through your profile wow i feel so happy bcos you are so cute to tell you the fact,
From time to time i ask my self why I chose you ... what is so special about you? Well, the reason is simple; I chose you because you are YOU!!! I have never had anyone cute and nice the way you do. I have never had anyone just look at me and make me feel beautiful. You do that to me! You make me feel special and wanted. As liberal as I can be, I would never do anything to hurt you. You mean more to me than you realize. I am hoping that one day I can prove all of this to you! I want you for you!

Lookng up to hear from you soon

Yes, I will blog about 24 again because I can.

I swear I got heart palpitations tonight.

Good Friday

I scored some last second tix right above the stage to see Chris & Rich Robinson acoustic at Lincoln Center's Jazz venue Rose Hall. Don't think the folks at Rose Hall were quite ready for the Crowes fans. I even got a showbill - it was quite surreal. How nice to see them perform Good Friday on Good Friday.

Went to the first ever Post It Note reading last night in hip Williamsburg's dinner & a movie venue MonkeyTown.

Walked past Mikael Barishnikov this week and tried to picture how on earth Carrie didn't look like an amazon woman standing next to him in Sex & the City. I swear he was shorter than 5"2 me.

Gala at Tavern on the Green

Boy was this place a sight for sore eyes. The food sucked, the DJ sucked, but the sheer cheesiness of it all made it completely worth it.

Waxing

I had a waxing appt the other day, and it completely baffles me why these generally usually asian or russian woman insist on SHOWING you the hair as it's ripped off onto the wax strip. As if the whole experience isn't uncomfortable enough.
