New York is real cold so I am not down with that, however my hair looks FANTASTIC when i wear a beanie so that's great. Also Shara and I seem to be growing more hair which is highly distressing, everyone pointed out that I appear to be growing hair on my face (despite the fact I am taking medication that treats hirsutism) and maybe the hair is only light in colour because I've been coating my face in heavy duty peroxide. My face is currently burning.
Anyway yesterday Shara didn't mention one of the most amusing parts of the day when Ro had us all walk to see Law & Order being filmed (yeah we dunno) and some dude who was part of the production team started talking to us. They were repeatedly filming a few cars driving a few metres, and this dude (whose job appeared to be to shout "rolling" and "cut" after others had yelled it) tried to work his hilarious charms on us, joking that "it'd be great if, instead hitting the brake, he hits the gas".....and stating this 3 times.
We ran away and ate pizza as big as our heads after that. I was getting real tired and surly.
What happened after that? Oh! The American Museum of Natural History which was really crazy and had free entry if we waited 20min to get in but dudes needed to use the toilet so we all paid $5 each which seemed to puzzle the dude in the ticket booth.
Saw lots of space and then animals, I really perked up when I saw the jellyfish and worms. Webber became real sad because it didn't appear to have any dinosaurs but then we found them! Hooray! Happy Webber.
Went to bed at 10pm!
Today was a really dumb day however. Essentially everything started out surly, then Ro went to find Flight of the Conchords places in the south and Shara, Webber & I went to MoMA which was the one thing I wanted to see in New York.
It is closed every Tuesday!
The stores were still open (TWO STORES) so we spent far too much money.
Met Ro in Soho to go to a pizza place Peter had recommended, slightly disappointing and the woman serving us was mega surly.
Then we rushed to get into the Daily Show taping and arrived at 4pm then at 4:30pm we were told the Daily Show was full but that they had spaces at Colbert Report, which is what Shara and Webber preferred anyway. So we ran, we RAN to the other place and waited until 6pm in the standby line only to be told we couldn't get in. I was very loud and indignant. I did say something along the lines of "THIS COUNTRY IS THE WORST" as we stormed off.
But then we all had a great dinner and dessert in a pub and warmed up. We were so freakin' cold Shara actually has a cold burn on her side!
Apparently it's going to snow tonight! I am excited for snow, but not excited for us picking up the hire car and crashing and dying.
Also no photos in this post because we didn't take any!

Hey sorry you never get to see shows being filmed in other countries!
ReplyDeleteWhat the?! You had actual tickets. They diss you. Tease you with better tickets and diss you again. Bum! You also missed out Pete Dominick, Stephen's awesome warm up act. Isn't that what "reserving tickets is for". *Replay relevant Seinfeld episode in your head where that happened*
ReplyDeleteAwww heck! Self promo time - http://punditfight.blogspot.com/search/label/Daily%20Show
All people are surly in NY...It's the stress of being the most exciting city!
ReplyDeleteMother speaking here: Please drive carefully - there may be a heatwave in Aus but there are blizards and icy roads in the US.
Have fun
