morrigirlJust got back from seeing the recently released movie of Chicago. FABULOUS, simply fabulous!!! Me, Mom, Wende, and a few of Wende's friends went to see it at the Zeigfeld. It was so much fun. I'd never seen it on stage so this was my first introduction to the show. I thought it made a great point about the nature of fame in America. And the cast was spectacular. Queen Latifah was a hoot, Taye Diggs is still adorable, and Richard Gere...I didn't even know Richard Gere was IN this film. When he came on screen I was like, Richard Gere? In a Musical? WHAT?! But dude lemme tell you, he was great!!! SOOO funny. And Mom and I have decided that Catherine Zeta-Jones is too gorgeous to live! Add her name to the list of famous women I would fuck in a heart beat.
But yes, I loved it, Mom loved it, Wende loved it, we all loved it!!! It was a fine way to spend New Years Eve. In fact I thin it was the first time in my LIFE I have ever actually had an activity to attend on New Years Eve. Usually everyone gets invited out accept me so I winde up staying home all by myself.
Actually that's what I'm doing right now. After the movie everyone went over to Wende's house to ring in the New Year. I never like going over there simply because I never know what to say so I end up just sitting on the couch zoning out for two or three hours. So here I am, all alone in the apartment with two hours left till midnight. And truth be told, I'm happy to be here.
Sure, there have been times in the not so distant past where I've sat here on New Years crying and feeling sorry for myself; wondering why I was destined to spend every New Years alone. But the past few years it hasn't bothered me, in fact I've come to look forward to it. Just a nice quiet evening at home, what could be better? I mean, it's become routine at tis point, and we all know how much I love routine, I crave it. I find habit comforting, even habits that initially may seem less than desirable. If I can do the same thing day after day and year oafter year I am happy. There is nothing I love more than certainty.
Makes ya wonder how I wound up dating so many adventurers. Jason couldn't sit still, Marc was always looking for a reason to leave the city, state or country, Kevin could never envision himself settling down. Sheesh. I need to find someone who's as boring as I am :)
After the film, we had to walk through midtown to get to the train station. I'd never been in midtown on New Years Eve before; I have never seen such a happening place in my life!! Everything is lit up brighter than usual, it's like Times Square is the sun and all the people are just planets and stars circling it. There are tons of people and they are all festive and happy. It's a mad house, but the insanity is contagious. Makes you just wanna grab a brusky and dive into the crowd.
And this is a little off topic but I think over the course of the day I have completely played out the word "fabulous." Everything I have seen or done to day has been fabulous; the food at Mona Lisa's? fabulous. The stuffed Tigger toys Elisabeth and I saw in Toys R Us? fabulous. The sweater I got at Old Navy? FAB-U-LOUS!!!! After a while I REALLY wanted to tell myself to shut the hell up, but I thought that might scare Elisabeth.
Well happy New Year world! Here's to hoping this one is better than the last.
Ciao.
