Porn + Harry Potter = A Great Day with Miriam

Last week I had vacation from work and I tried to relax most of the days. I did little things each day except for the last day. I was going to meet Miriam in the city. For her Birthday or maybe anniversary she got a gift card for TKTS. It was very nice of her to use half of it on me also. So she got there very early, even before I left the house and get tickets to "spring awakening". I had a miserable time parking. But we finally met up and went to lunch at her favorite dairy place called "cafe K". The soup was very good and I had a salad. Miriam had half my soup, a salad and a roll of sushi. We then walked to the theater and met someone from High School that was very unexpected. We also took a touristy picture at Rockefeller Plaza. Miriam didn't want to but I was like, what's the difference? We don't live IN the city!! So we took it. I don't know why you would get embarrassed. Who cares what other people think?!!? I don't! We finally made it to the theater and got to our seats. It's a pretty small theater and we were in the balcony. We talked a lot, which was really nice. So the show started and I was pleasantly surprised. What made it so good was the voices of the cast. If you plucked out each one of them and put them in a band they would do very well for themselves. So I've been telling the world that Miriam took me to porn!! At the end of the first act the main couple have simulated sex on stage. He took his pants off, so you could see his backside, but not his front side. Then he goes and shows off the girls breast... which was really gratuitous. There was thrusting and grunting.
I was freaking out, I grabbed Miriam's arm - who was watching intently - and saying "OH MY G-D you took me to porn" under my breath. End scene. People in the audience freaked out. some older people left. Open scene to Act 2: the main couple having sex again!!! finishing really. But come on people. there was no warning!!! Then there was a gay couple and they started to kiss and a lady 2 rows in front of me said OUT LOUD "Oh No!!" I almost lost I was laughing so hard. But I said to Miriam, if they have sex I will be mortified. But all in all it was a really good show. I found out that Hilary Duff went the day b4 so that's annoying.

After the show we walked through times square and who do I see Bianca from All My Children!!! she heard me say that and she was on the phone but she got off the phone and stopped to pretend to look at a store that she wasn't interested in and that gave me a way to walk over to her. So Miriam took our picture and she was really, really sweet. I mean she couldn't have been nicer. She is getting married so that's why she isn't on the show at the moment. but she said she has no intention of leaving. which is really good, bc I really like her. The Picture will be impending. I haven't gotten my film developed.

We ate an early dinner at Mr. Broadway and it was the best pastrami sandwich ever!! so yummy. We talked a lot. It was just really nice to spend the whole day with her. Eating, walking, talking, stalking. watching a show and a movie. Miriam and I don't get to spend a lot of time together and almost never get to in the city doing stuff. So it was really nice. Miriam didn't want to take the subway (beats me why not) so we walked 30 blocks to the Harry Potter Imax 3D theater. I wanted to get there early bc last time I went it was packed and I did NOT want to sit in the front.

We talked and looked at stuff all the way there and when we got there, there was no line, not one person waiting and no one on the food line or in the bathroom either. oops!! but we got the seats I wanted and both of us had blisters and that killed bc we had to walk back to the car. Meh. B4 the movie started I was asking all these personal questions that she actually answered. She's very frank with me and I always appreciate it. she doesn't sugar coat anything!!


I know that I've seen the movie twice in the theater, and I saw the 3d Experience already. I know that I watch it at work all the time also. But you know what... I cried. again. It's always at the same part too. Even before it happened, I said to myself, "I'm good. I won't cry. There's no need." and then water works!!! When Voldermort is torturing Harry and you see his parents and his friends with the music I lose it!! I love Harry Potter. I can't help it. (Honey notice the blue converse... I'm just saying.)

After the movie we walked back to the car and walked through Columbus circle and it was very romantic bc of the fountains and lights. Miriam said she would approve if I got engaged there. I was like, "I'll get right on that. jees." Both of us had blisters and hurting feet, but finally getting to the car and sitting was most appreciative. And that was the day. So even though she doesn't read my blog I thank her for a really, really great day.


I didn't sleep that well last night. I woke up like at 7am and really didn't fall back to sleep. I kept thinking about Big brother 8 and that is even more irritating. At least let me think about something that actually matters!!

B4 the weekend my brother and sister - n - law had food delivered to the house for a full shabbos meal. It really was so nice of him. I almost cried. It was so sweet of him to think of me and my grandmother. He's not religious so the fact that he did it means even more. I've been making meal plans for Rosh Hashanah which is coming up soon. I'm going to be doing a lot of walking which is good. I will also be spending some time with the Glazers who are moving to Israel soon and that's gonna be really, really sad. I mean I know that they have been wanting to make this move almost there whole lives, I just can't help to think about pretty much growing up in their house. Whatever... there's nothing I can do about it.


I've finished the very fine show "The Forsyte Saga." I can't say enough about Rupert Graves. It was a terrific Masterpiece theater. The amount of crying I did was shocking to me. Ya I cry at the Potter, but not British Masterpiece theater stuff. I was just really touched by the characters and the acting was really great. Damien Lewis was perfect as the controlling sycophant husband. Rupert graves had a perfect touch of softness mixed with authority. I just love everything about this mini series. I recommend it to everyone. It's really long bc there is a part 2: the later generation, but it's just as good and has all the same people. It really is quite good.


I can't believe that michelle Williams and Heath Ledger broke up!!! It's crazy. They seemed like a normal couple, really down to earth and all that jazz. They should try counseling or something. They have a kid together!! They should try and make it work.



I watched a very exciting tie breaking tennis match between James Blake and Tommy Haas. I really thought that Blake had it, but literally by a half an inch he did not. I really like watching Tennis.

I am really looking forward to the end of the week and next week. Honey is coming and we will be going to see Damien Rice... Really Shane for me. But I think it's funny that Honey and I both had a similar Damien dream the same night. and we didn't really talk about him the night before. it was very strange.


Then we are going to see the Frames and Cara will be there as well. I am really looking forward to that as well. I noticed that the small theater near me is Finally showing Once. Maybe I'll go and see it!! All the food that will be consumed is worth the excitement. I can't wait for brunch. that's what it's all about people. Eating with the people you love.







I've been reading The Buffy the vampire Slayer comic book. It's a continuation from the show and they are really good. It's a little different from anything else that I have ever read. I mean I read archie's but there is a on of narration and there isn't that much in Buffy. So you really have to read it several times to understand what's going on. But it's really good. If you liked the show I would highly recommend picking that up. I have only read the first 2 comics so far.


I've been awaiting my Entertainment Weekly issue for the TV schedule that will be starting soon. There's going to be a lot of new tv this year. I can't wait to see what's going to be good and what's not.

I went to Linen's N Things with Shira today and I hate that place. I prefer Bed, Bath and Beyond. I could (and have) spend hours in there. Rochi also came over with her poopy Jersey. It was nice to visit with both of them.

That's it for now. Until next time...
