Has got it going on
First lesson learned last night? Always, always bring a plus-one to these things. Doesn't matter who. Just do it, so that you have someone to hang out with. Because as sympathetic as my co-workers are, I'm sure they'd rather spend the evening with their own dates than babysitting me.
Aside from that, it was fun. I had a few minor brushes with fame, and even though I'm not overly star-struck, it's still exciting. But I'm not going to name-drop. Ask me if you want to know who I "brushed."
It was a cute play--definitely an adorable romantic comedy. The Times review didn't think it was all that brilliant (unfortunately), but it had its moments, and I don't think it was intended to be groundbreaking, avant-garde theatre. It's a revival, for goodness' sake--it's probably not going to be cutting-edge. It's the kind of play that I'll attempt to get comps for when Jen's here, and then again when Mom, Dad, and Carl come to visit. I think everyone will enjoy it.
Anyways, it was good, and I did enjoy the party (first party I've ever been at where there were actual members of the press, as well as circulating wait staff with hors d'oeuvres and cocktails!), even though, like I said, it would have been more fun if I'd taken someone else with me.
The longer I live here, the more I realize how much I use my car for storage. It's a hassle to go to the gym, because I have to carry my gym bag with me all day (instead of stashing it in the back seat), so I probably don't go (I know I don't go) as often as I should. Or could. And yesterday, I went to work in my clothes for the show, which I didn't really want to do, but if I hadn't, I would have had to carry around a bag of extra clothes with me all evening (either that, or leave them at the office and then pick them up today), because there's just nowhere to put them.
My contact fell out on the subway this morning, and I caught it, but I had to put it back in while I was standing there, trying to keep my balance. I'm sure it was pretty disgusting for anyone who happened to be in close proximity, but what else was I supposed to do?! I couldn't very well hold it on my finger for an hour until I could get to a bathroom... that's when you pop it in your mouth to get it wet, and then stick it in your eye without worrying about what everyone else thinks. I have no social skills, I know, but it was an emergency.
Jen, did you realize that there's no new GG this Tuesday? Ah well... that'll just have to be our Season 4 marathon night instead of a new one. Still. That sucks.
I've got "Stacy's Mom" stuck in my head. It's amazing how the brain does random and weird things like that.

If the WB had to choose a Tuesday in Feb. not to have a new episode, this coming Tuesday is the perfect one. I'm up for a season 4 marathon.
It's sad that we can't review it together though. :(
