This week is so weird. I can't get settled. I'm getting new furniture here at work, and I'm having to empty out my desk and file cabinets. They're moving the old stuff out tomorrow, but won't move the new stuff in 'til Friday, so I guess I'll be sitting on the floor playing tiddlywinks tomorrow. So to speak. Or, hell, I dunno, maybe literally.

I never wrote much about the weekend. Saturday morning, I drove into NYC and picked up Mom at LaGuardia. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to get in and out of the airport. We checked into the hotel in midtown, then . . . what the hell did we do Saturday afternoon? Uhhh . . . wow, my brain is fried. I honestly don't remember anything before the play we saw that night -- Edward Albee's The Goat, or Who is Sylvia?, starring Mercedes Ruehl and Bill Pullman, both of whom were quite good. Despite it being about a man who's having a sexual relationship with a goat, it somehow wasn't quite as "out there" as some of his other stuff. But it was still good. After the play, we ate at Joe Allen, where we had Chilean sea bass (me) and steak tartare (Mom, yuk), conversed with a flamboyantly gay Canadian who thought the production of The Graduate starring Alicia Silverstone and Jason Biggs was just fabulous, and went to great lengths to steal an ashtray (which, I fear, I ended up leaving in the hotel room).

Sunday, we went to MoMA and saw (among other things) the "Life of the City" photographic exhibit. There were some really fantastic photos from the past 100 years or so, some by professionals and some submitted by the public. Somehow, we missed the monitors showing pictures from the "Here is New York" project; I'm still not sure where it was. The website is pretty incredible itself, though -- check it out.

That night, we decided to go to The Vagina Monologues. That was really fun. I was sort of surprised; it was a lot better than I thought it would be (though I'd heard good things about it). Karen Black (of Easy Rider, Five Easy Pieces, and Rubin and Ed, not of The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black) was fantastic; her orgasmic moaning had me laughing so hard that I thought I was going to rupture my assneck.

Monday morning, we hit Zabar's, Gourmet Garage, and some bookstores before heading home mid-afternoon. Quite a fun weekend, despite the crappy weather (rainy and chilly).

Time to ho gome.

You went to an Edward Albee play and the Vagina Monologues with your mom?! I would never do that with my mom. Heh.

Hehe -- yeah, I didn't really think much about it, but when I told people at work, they had the same reaction. She's cool, man. :)

OK, I'll try to remember to. I'm just not in the habit of it.

Oh, HELL yeah! You can't beat a movie that features my man Crispin drinking water from the cooler that he's been keeping his dead cat in for days.

You know...I have tried to find that movie for years to copy it and can't. I refuse to go to ebay either... I will have to keep up the search. I need it for my collection that is for sure!
