Avenue Q!
Yes, I have seen Avenue Q, I know all of you are very jealous. Steph's mom is here to visit Steph and go to a family member's bridal shower and she is amazing and took us both out to dinner and a show Thursday night. It was really fun. There actually isn't much more to the story than what you get from the soundtrack, but to see the actors working with the puppets was cool. The ones who are the puppets wear black so that they fade a little, but their facial expressions added so much to what they were doing with the puppets.
It really was a whole lot of fun and our seats were really nice. We were in the third row on the right side, really, really close which was cool. The only downside is that during "Fantasies Come True" the fog came down in the audience and it had a strange smell.
Last night (Friday) Steph's mom took us and two of Steph's friends out to dinner and then to a movie. The restaurant was called Ninja, a teamed place. It was pretty cool, the tables were each in their own little nook. Some in bamboo lined rooms and other (like ours) in almost a cave. All of the staff were in ninja outfits and the food was Japanese. Thankfully there was more than just sushi and the meal I ended up getting was really good. Before the bill came one of the staff came and did a lot of slight of hand magic tricks that were really well done.
Then we went and say The DaVinci Code and this theatre with 4 floors and 25 theatres. Kinda nuts but really nice. My verdict on the movie is that it is a good movie but of course not as good as the book. I think they did a pretty good job of translating everything that in the book goes on in the characters head's into dialogue for the movie. I don't understand why they changed what they ended up changing though. I don't think that it cut down time to make Sophie's brother die in the crash or make whatever that guy's name was not her real grandfather. I don't think those kind of things needed to be changed.
Today was a rainy day so unfortunately I couldn't continue my tradition of reading in Central Park :( Instead I hung out in the apartment reading, watching tv, and taking a nap. The nap had to happen because I was woken up by people working on the apartment building in the basement which is on the other side of the wall of my bedroom. Hopefully they don't work on Sundays. So that's it right now. Life is good, I'm enjoying work and being in New York, so far so good.
