Hot in the City

Ugh... I moved up north so I wouldn't melt to death. So, I went to the movie today so I could sit in free air conditioning!!! SATC2 ?? I really wish the writers could do better. I love the show because it is was 1) based in Manhattan and 2) about wonderful friends and the real life whoes of being single. There were some good scenes and at the core the characters are still the same. That being said - is Samantha ever going to stop acting 30??? I am not saying that she needs to stop being single and horny (HELLO - WHO AM I???), but can't she be a bit classy while doing it? They just make her act like she is 20 years younger than she is...I found it silly and that story has been done over and over and over.

Charlotte & Miranda? Best scene of the whole movie was those two talking in their room bar about their kids while drinking. Hilarious!

Carrie? Well, you finally got what you wanted and now all you can do is whine about it. You know that Big wasnt all that into the city scene anyway.

And its called SEX AND THE CITY. The city is manhattan, not somewhere in the middle east. I am all for a girls weekend but not the majority of the movie.

Hmmmm...that being said I am gonna take a nap and try and make it to the gym tonight.

Bad Date - Donts

Well, at least an odd or bad date gives me something to gossip about. I am relaxing in my apartment with a good glass of red and watching Sex and the City reruns - can't wait for the 2nd movie!!!! Anyway, back to the bad date issue. He picked the lower east side and I picked the bar (for a little bit of background). First time meeting him but we got along great via text (hahahaha) and very cute pics...

1. Don't agree to meet me at a bar and then order a diet coke. That makes me feel like a complete loser and alcoholic. Both of which I tend to do well on my own.
2. Don't pick a neighborhood where parking is a bitch and then drive!!! I was left sitting at the bar playing on my phone for close to an hour while he was "looking for parking". And I paid for my own beer in that hour. If I wanted to date myself - which I do from time to time - I would have gone to the park or a movie or brought my book.
3. Don't wear Ed Hardy.
4. Don't wear your hair in a faux-hawk. Especially when you have a normal hair cut.
5. Don't post only pictures that are about five years old and 20 lbs lighter on-line in your profile. I hate fake advertising.
6. Don't put a plastic life-sized skull and forearm skeleton in your car. Or a troll doll.

And last but not least - don't give a fake name. Its not like I checked his drivers license and know he was lying about his age. But all night all he did was talk about his time in the NHL and now plays for a minor league due to injury. Oh, and he helps coach the special olympics hockey team. And he owned/ran several restaraunts in the past and is working on his graduate degree in occupational therapy..... So, in the year 2010 I am pretty sure that I could Google ANYONE and find something about them. Let alone a past NHL player. Not so much with this guy. Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Needless to say, no 2nd date.

NYC weekend

Well, had a pretty fun weekend. Exhausted today and enjoying the cooler, cloudy weather. It is May but feels like fall ... just really glad I can walk outside without sweating my ass off. Ha!

Hung out in my 'hood with peeps from work this past Friday. Mexican food and margaritas at Southside Seaport. Then off to Paris for more drinks! View of Brooklyn bridge from the bar, very cool. And the bartenders appeared to like our group :-) That never hurts!




Monday night went to dinner and off-broadway show - Avenue Q. Funny as hell, musical with puppets that had a sex scene! Only in Manhattan I guess!
