Bo had to go to the drama bookstore before class today so I went with him. I browsed around 7th Avenue and 35th Street. I found this pretty cool discounted clothing store called Conways. Everything is priced really cheap but yet the clothes are name brands and relatively good quality. They asked Bo to bring a pair of black slacks to the shoot on Friday so I needed to pick those up. I was able to get them for $7.99. Such a deal! :-)
There are a lot of differences between New York City and Boston but the most obvious one is the ambiance of the two cities. Boston has an old world feel while New York has a "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" kind of feeling. At any time I expect nurses to appear on the street corners with medicine trays in hand. Note: This only applies to the Times Square and south area. The upper west side is more like Boston. It has a nice laid back attitude and if I could afford it, I'd live here permanently.
We are seeing Wicked on Wednesday night. I cannot wait and neither can Bo. He has been dying to see this as it is coming highly recommended. :-)
Thursday is the day I'm going to try and score the Shakespeare in the Park Tickets. Getting up bright and early and staking out my spot at the park. By 1:00 p.m. Thursday I should be the proud owner of two tickets to see Al Pacino in the Merchant of Venice.
The upper west side has the cutest dogs I've ever seen in my entire life. The most prevalent breed I've seen is the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier. As an owner of this breed I can understand why they seem to be everywhere. They are hypo-allergenic, a reasonable size, do not shed and have a wonderful personality. We owned one for 15 years and he was a great dog. I can't same the say, however, for the one we own now. If she was human, she'd be on anti-psychotic medication. But she is who she is and we love her just the same. But if any one wants her, we'd be happy to work something out. :-)
Bo is still scheduled to shoot Celebrity Ghost Stories on Friday. This will probably be a very interesting shoot to say the least.
Saturday, my husband is driving to New York to take his family back home. My son is absolutely dying to get back home. He wants to spend the rest of the summer doing nothing excepting chilling out with his friends.I can't blame him. He has worked really hard the past four weeks. I, myself, am looking forward to doing a beach day or two. My luck though, Fall will make an early appearance since it's been summer around these parts since April. Good luck trying to find any one to go with me if that happens!
If anyone's keeping count, we're now up to one phone, one wallet, and one metro card with $22.00 still remaining on it. According to Bo, "everything just keeps falling out of my pockets". Seriously, I have never seen someone lose so many things in my entire life. I bought him a new wallet today. I hope it at least makes it back to Boston with him. :-)
Love to read your "musings and mutterings"...Jazmin has seen the original Wicked when the HS chorus went to NYC a few years back. The girls play the songs all the time in my car off their itouchs...Kristin Chenoweth is on the Wicked cast cd, what a beautiful voice. I'm sure Bo will download it by Wed night, if he doesn't have it already! Have fun!
ReplyDeleteAfter seeing Kristin in Promises, Promises, I would bet she was amazing in Wicked. I would have loved to have seen her in that. You are so right about Bo and the soundtrack. I bet he downloads it on the subway back to the apartment that night. LOL! :-) Sorry I missed you in New York last week. Can't wait to get together with everyone in August though!
