i don't want to leave!
I'm having a great time in New York. I got to spend time with my friend Damon, who I lived with my senior year at Ithaca and who I haven't seen in a few years. I've been spending a lot of quality time with Miriam, which is wonderful. (I forgot to add that we went to see Hannah and Her Sisters last night at the Film Forum...there really is nothing like seeing a Woody Allen film on a big screen in NYC) Tonight I'll have dinner with my uncle and then see my friend Marla.
So far I've been to the Met and the Guggenheim and we went to see Spring Awakening on Friday night. I'm about to head down to the TKTS booth to buy a matinee ticket to David Mamet's new play, November, starring Nathan Lane and Laurie Metcalf.
Tomorrow (my birthday!), I may just try to get to the Today Show (Dad really wants me to). Then I have a deep tissue massage scheduled, thanks to my sister (thanks Deb!). I'm going to try and get down to the MoMa tomorrow too. Then tomorrow night, my cousin David is performing his stand-up act at Caroline's.
I said I was going to make the most of this trip, and damnit, I am! When I get back, I'll try to start doing a better job of saving, because I've been reminded of just what I'm missing in Tucson!

no! calcutta!
Oh! Calcutta! was terrible. Just awful. Poorly written, poorly acted, trapped in its own social milieu. And I imagine it was trite even in its time.
The one other interesting tidbit however is that one of the actors, Bill Macy, would go on to play opposite Bea Arthur in the television series Maude as her put-upon husband, Walter. He also still does guest shots on some present-day series.
That's the only redeeming quality of this dreck - getting to see this guy naked and giggle as you imagine Bea Arthur intoning, "God is gonna getcha for that, Walter!"
