a little update

It would appear that unless I have some kind of goal (a la January), this little blog gets neglected in terms of updates.  Or maybe there's just nothing really that exciting going on.  Most likely the latter, but a little bit of the former.  Anyhow, a couple weekends ago, we did do some fun stuff, so I thought I'd share.

Daniel Radcliffe (aka Harry Potter) is currently on Broadway in "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying".  We were able to get discounted orchestra tickets through some special offer, so we were able to go and see a preview show (actual show opening is March 27th).  It was a really great show - Daniel Radcliffe is super cute, and I totally want him to be my best friend, no lie.  John Larroquette is also in it (he's someone famous, but I don't really know who he is).

This is not a musical I was familiar with, but I liked it a lot.  Marek also liked it a lot - he said it was a lot funnier than he thought it would be.  It was a very nice production, and there were some very funny moments (especially a fight song-like number performed by Radcliffe and Larroquette).  Highly recommended if you can get down there to see it.  We are already planning to go see it again!

After the show, we walked (I hobbled) back to the subway, and I think we were in Grand Central (who knows), and we saw these belt buckles at RAG.  I told Marek if he was nice, I would buy him one, haha.

On Sunday we eschewed our recent tradition of Le Pain Quotidien and a movie and met up with Chris in Brooklyn.  He met us at the subway station, and then we drove to Red Robin out in New Jersey.  It took as awhile to get there, but it was nice to be back in suburbia again.  With REAL strip malls, and chain restaurants, and giant shopping centers.  It was really awesome.  We went to a Target (or any big store), and no one checked my receipt.

At Red Robin we were celebrating some happy news for me, and just enjoying seeing Chris.  He is studying down in Brooklyn, and we try to see him as often as we can.  I'd say we average about once a month at the moment.  It's always great to see Chris.

Mmmmm, Very Berry Raspberry Limeade...my favorite Red Robin drink!  Best enjoyed with some garlic parmesan fries (extra garlic! extra parmesan!)

Here I am with the future friar.  He told me that the beard will be going away soon, so was glad we got a picture of the winter beard!
