Interesting title, you say? Oh, it gets better.
On Wednesday I was invited by a friend to a dinner party at her apartment in Roosevelt Island. I had never been to this tiny island sandwiched between Manhattan & Queens. It felt like a resort, with one Main St flanked by glistening water. It is mostly residential with a lot of landscaping and a homey/retirement kind of feel. The apartment had a whole wall of windows with an amazing view of Manhattan and the water and for not much more rent that one pays for a non-doorman apartment downtown. The coolest part was they have a cable car that leaves Roosevelt Island and lands on 59th st and 2nd Ave in Manhattan. And this cable car is part of the subway system, so my monthly unlimited worked like a ticket! It sweeps you up alongside the bridge with an amazing view. What a commute!
On Thursday, I went to a show with friends of mine called- hold it- Puppetry of the Penis. Yes this show was exactly what the title implies. Their genital origami was hilarious, gross, astonishing and just silly. I saw "installations" like the hamburger, the turtle, the windsurfer- its endless. But surprisingly I almost enjoyed the opening comedic act as much as the actual show. They had Amy Schumer, who was on Last Comic Standing (she got 4th place). She was frakkin' hilarious. Truly had me in stitches- and also a lot dirtier than on on TV, so nice! She just had the best delivery and seemed like one of those people that would be so fun to go to dinner with and just laugh your ass off.
and TGIF!!!
Jealous!!
