Day 346/365 (July 30, 2009)

it was quite a morning with emma curled up on one side of me and pip on the other side of me. pip loves attention and is not afraid of plopping himself in front of you for some belly rubs... but unfortunately for him i am cranky in the morning if i dont get to do some quality cuddly petting time with emma so after a few moments of moving him to my other side he learned :D  my atomic clock decided it was going to be thirty minutes behind when it was supposed to so i ended up being very late to meet up with chris in bryant par.

at the subway entrance i ran into mike and we headed down together and found chris holding lovely seats for us even though bryant park was a swamp because of the rainfall that had happened yesterday! my new flip flops ended up looking ancient and i got a sunburn on my face that looks like i applied to much red blush! broadway in bryant park this week was by far the worst of the weeks i have seen. the shows were naked boys singing (which i have never had a desire to see and after seeing this i know for sure i wont ever see it... LAME!) chicago (which was just dull and lackluster which is unfortunate) jersey boys (yea i love the mucis but it was just eh to see everyone sing it and i dont understand why every ensemble members name was read and they dont do that for the other shows such as shrek or the other ones i have seen this year, not fair!) and shrek. shrek had the potential to be awesome but not so much. the best part of the day by far was haven getting to sing for Fiona in I Know It's Today. she sounded amazing and was rocking some shrek ears with a tiara. (hard to see but that is her on the far left). unfrtunately having that be the first song that was sung made the rest of the day torture since ya know it was just bad. i mean Freak Flag had the potential to be awesome the song is great and the choreography they di was fun and funky but this is BROADWAY in bryant park not lip synch in bryant park. even though i know they had at least 7 hand held mics since that is how many naked boys had, only 3 people had mics to use.so john tartaglia and two others actually sang their parts live but the others were forced to li[ synch over themselves and well i felt it totally detracted from the enjoyment of the performance because part of the magic of broadway is the live singing part!

anywho after i headed home and made a pitstop at the store to pick up a few food items and came home and tucker and pip were playing along so nicely it was amazing!

eventually i went out to meet joey and we went to composer exposure part of the SPF festival (it was free) and they had cocktails for us also i ended up with a yummy prickly pear something or other... and we ran into Lil and Emily!

we got lovely seats and it was an enjoyable show even if the host was just terrible! i wish i had a recorder for all of the songs! one notable cute one was by the composers of taylor the latte boy. it was a song about "love" in the big city but it was so funny, omg! and my favorite was this song about two people trying to talk to each other on cell phones about their relationship but due to a bad signal it resulted in ther break up, really i wish i had a copy of that!

then after joey and i went to karaoke at the lounge and when we got there i discovered the escalator was working... for the first time in several months! i was really shocked! we headed downstairs and it was pretty much dead. i sang walk away thou and we stayed for a tiny bit before heading ut. however chris was back so it was nice to say hello.

i had thought i was just going to walk to 72nd street instead of having to transfer from the local to express since it was nice out, but right before i got to 59th st i was so overcome with exhaustion that i felt like iw as going to fall asleep where i stood so i just hopped on the subway there.

at some point during the day i finished reading harry potter and the deathly hallows and was quite pleased with this. i cant believe how much i had forgotten had happened in it, and all the stuff i did remember.

when i got home watched tv for a bit and went to go to sleep... however i would discover that it would not be so easy. i walked in and saw lots of poo on my floor! some was pip's knocked off from the wee pad and a big pile that was clearEly from tucker. so i cleaned up the yuck and thought i was done until i discovered emma had puked on my floor by the bed. so i cleaned that up and as i was leaving the room to throw that stuff out i stepped in dried tucker pee! so i cleaned that i was so furious because i was so tired and it seemed like every time i thought i had finished i had found more! but then i was finally done and the room didnt smeel anymore once i got rid of all that yuck and i was able to go to sleep!
