Celebrity Sighting #5

Jeremy Sisto. Union Square area. Regal Cinema. Movie: Tropic Thunder. Underneath the Virgin Megastore hiding from the rain. In the bathroom.

Okay. So this was my stalkiest celebrity moment to date. Don’t judge me, assholes. I had just bought my ticket for Tropic Thunderwhen I turned around, looked at the escalator, and saw good ol Billy from Six Feet Under. Of course, I ran to the escalator to follow him, even though I was dripping wet from the rain and probably should have slipped. Well we went up the escalator…all the while I was admiring his nicely groomed beard while he was having a convo on his bluetooth. Sadly, I lost sight of him. So I went into the bathroom. Amazingly, he had to go pee too! He used the same urinal I did right after me. Crazy right?! It’s like we’re practically sleeping together. So I left the bathroom figuring that was it. But then he followed me into the same theater! OMG Elton and I are seeing the same movie. I felt totally like Brittany “Tai” Murphy. Of course, my mind (naturally) started playing this song over and over again:

Unfortunately, we didn’t get to sit next to each other because the theater was packed. After the movie, I tried to get out quickly so I could see him one last time. He had already left. However, as I passed the Virgin Megastore as I left, I saw a green backpack. There cowering from the rain, checking his iPhone, looking like a sopping wet dog, was Jeremy with a green backpack. In that fleeting moment as I ran passed (because it was raining pretty hard) I thought about telling him that I found his Cranberries CD he left in the quad…but then I just figured that was inappropriate. I’m sure somebody already snagged it. That would just bring back bad memories.

It was that night, in the pouring rain, outside the Subway entrance, that I fell in love with Wrong Turn again.

Celebrity Sighting #4

Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Union Square area. Looking foine.

You know, of Angels in the Outfield fame. Also, Third Rock from the Sun and 10 Things I Hate about You. He’s very short in person…but also very handsome. Plus, he had some scruff going on. He’s a very brisk walker.

Give a home to the fleas in my hair.

Theresa and I saw Hair in Central Park the other day for free. It was mind blowing!!! The cast was energetic, the audience receptive, and the weather was perfect. It was totally worth the long wait for tickets.

(This is from the film)

Who knew singing hippies could be so good? (and good looking!!)

Celebrity Sighting #3

Christian Siriano. Park Avenue. Outside smoking.

Recent Project Runwaywinner. He looked mean. He gave me a dirty look. Probably because I looked like one hot mess or maybe it was because I looked like a tranny. Either way, those eyes burned right through me as much as that cig burned through his lungs.

…although I can’t argue with him here :

Get with the times, New Roman

This is probably the funniest video I’ve seen in a while.

Although, I am kind of pissed that Comic Sans saves the day. Comic Sans is shit. I’m also offended that Arial Narrow is a narrow-minded redneck! Arial Narrow is my favorite font! WHAT?! It takes up less space and doesn’t have those pesky serifs.

Celebrity Sighting #2

Writer, producer, and actor Nia Vardalos shooting a movie (I Hate Valentine’s Day). Park Slope (my neighborhood!) near Prospect Park. Dang. She looked thin but pretty as always.

Best known for writing and starring in My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002). She was also in Connie and Carla (2004) with Toni Collette which I enjoyed a lot and I’m not afraid to admit it. It’s cute, fun and is about drag queens and musicals!

They didn’t have my favorite part (the Don’t Cry for Me, Argentina scene) but this clip should do:

I found a giant croc.

Oh. But where is the giant sock?

Now Dr. Horrible is here…to make you quake with fear…to make the whole world kneel…and I won’t feel…a thing.

Sadly, Dr. Horrible is over (but you can still watch for free at www.drhorrible.com until Sunday!). It was pretty amazing.

Also, that is such a Joss thing to do–make it all happy and comedic and then bring on the sadness and dramz. However, I feel this isn’t the last we’ll see of Dr. Horrible. I know it is coming on DVD with lots of bonus features, but perhaps something more? Maybe a sequel? I really think it is worthy for at least an Off Broadway production if not Broadway. After all, I don’t think there have ever been any superhero/super villain musicals on Broadway. Or ever. I may be wrong though. Superheroes (and musicals) are so in right now.

I really enjoyed the music…my favorite being Penny’s song “Cheer Up Billy Buddy.” Felicia Day has such a soft voice. I love it. She’s come a long way since little Potential Vi from Buffy. Also, being the geek that I am, I got excitement from seeing newscasters in the final installment of the web series because they are David Fury and Marti Noxon, two writers from Buffy who were also in “Once More, With Feeling” (the Buffy musical) as the Mustard Guy and the Parking Ticket Lady, respectively.

Also, I love being a Joss fanboi because he has lots of fans who will make stuff and share it with other fanbois/grrls…sort of like this:

Coney Island–It’s trash and it knows it.

Over the weekend, Theresa and I explored the famous Coney Island in Brooklyn. It’s kinda of trashy, but overall we decided we liked it. The trashiness gave the place character. Sort of like how Gretchen Wilson’s trashiness gives her character. (SHE’S TRASH AND SHE KNOWS IT!) Plus, cheap beer on a Sunday afternoon is always a good time. Next time I go (which will be SOON), I plan to get proper trashed and maybe join the hotties dancing on the boardwalk.

IT DANCES FOR A QUARTER!!

 

Walking the pier, drinking disgusting (but refillable!) frozen drinks.

Everything is coming up roses.

I haven’t posted any of my pictures from my adventures in New York (mainly because I always forget my camera). But I did remember my camera for yesterday’s adventure. I went to the Brooklyn Museum of Art and the Brooklyn Botanical Garden.

Okay, so I didn’t take any pictures in the Museum, but it was pretty cool. My favorite installment was by feminist artist Judy Chicago called The Dinner Party featuring place settings (complete with vagina shaped/decorated plates!) for 39 mythogical and historical women.

Vulva plates!

After the museum I walked over to the Brooklyn botanical garden. It was really peaceful and relaxing. I imagine the place must be really beautiful and fragrant in the early spring so I plan to go back. Here are some picsies.

Stopping and smelling the roses. Also, hanging with mah gurl Rose.

OMG. It's true!!! THERE ARE MORE BARS IN MORE PLACES!!!!

Shakespeare Garden

Hiding in the rainforest. It's like Fern Gully!!
