One Hour into the Globes...

So its about an hour into the Golden Globes and things are going well, I'm happy for Jennifer Hudson and Eddie Murphy for their wins. I love Meryl Streep and Hugh Laurie's acceptance speeches, I like when people are kinda real and off the cuff with their speeches. I like Sienna Miller's dress, but I could do without her hair. I also think that Sarah Jessica Parker, Drew Barrymore, Angelina Jolie, Reese Witherspoon look lovely. I think its funny how last year people like Reese Witherspoon and Joaquin Phoenix were all the rage, and now this year nobody cares as much about them. They're still big stars and very talented, but its weird how public favor can change so quickly if you're out of the spotlight for awhile. Now this year everyone is talking about Jennifer Hudson, but next year will she be as big of a deal as everyone is making right now? I almost feel bad for the people who are "so last year," but as Andy Warhol said, "everyone gets their 15 minutes."

A Moaning Good Time at the Cineplex

So tonight Dan D. and I go to the movies to see The Holiday. Which I enjoyed, very cute, it was aiming to be like Love Actually, but Love Actually was better. But I still enjoyed it, (it was Dan's third time going to see it). Anyway... toward the last 20 or 15 minutes of the movie I hear something coming from another member of the audience. It wasn't a laugh... or a sigh... but maybe a grumble? I didn't think much about it and put my full concentration on Jude Law. Then, we hear a loud MOAN come from the middle of the theater. There was no way to mistake it, it was a mooooaaaan. And about 30 seconds later we hear it again! Which led Dan and I to believe that this guy was getting head in the theater. And it wasn't like this was an empty theater either, it was pretty full! Being the mature people that we are, Dan and I laughed uncontrolably. We tried to hide it because it wasn't a funny part of the movie and we didn't want to disrupt those around us, but in retrospect... I think an audible moan in a movie theater is more disruptive than laughter! But we were forced to do the "silent laugh" in the theater which consisted of me quietly shaking in my seat and covering my face while Dan had to bite on his cheek to keep from laughing. It was so difficult to keep quiet, and I was crying from laughing so hard. So after the movie/sex session, We deduced that this man's girlfriend... or boyfriend... pleaded with him to take her to see "The Holiday" and her final offer was, "If you take me, I'll give you head in the movie theater." So Mystery Moaning Man from the 7:05 showing of "The Holiday" at the Ritz 16 Theater, all I want to know is... were you thinking of Cameron Diaz... or Jude Law?

Happy New Years!

Whew! What a weekend! I had so much fun visiting my Manhattan College family and seeing most of my favorites, especially the ones I hadn't seen since the summer (cough Sammy). Saturday night was a nice night just to catch up and of course drink a bit... I was surprised to see a couple changes on Waldo and 238th that I didn't know about. Congrats to the NEW River Deli and the crazy upgrade they did recently. I bet Ahad loves his new pad. And thankfully Fenwicks put the bar back on the other side, but unthankfully, they took out the tables. What are people supposed to smash when Sean Paul's "Tempature" comes on?

Boo! For some reason I can't upload the pictures I stole from Facebook! Well, anyone who reads this can get on facebook anyway, so look at them there.

Shout out to Johnny Bananas, the coolest cat in Riverdale, hopefully he doesn't still smell like beer. Some devil spilled beer on Johnny during the party. You know how cats lick themselves to get clean? I wonder if Johnny got drunk when he tried to clean himself the next day...?
