Last few days in NY

Thank God I had a few more good days after my mugging. Hopefully going to try to keep that out of my mind.

I saw two great Broadway musicals - Dame Edna (hilarious!) and Altar Boyz (really funny). Altar Boyz is really funny too - based on the idea of a Catholic boy band. That idea in itself was hilarious. At first, I was a bit worried that it would be like a boy band concert, but the subtle undercurrents of plots was really cleverly done. I thought that I might be offended, esp with such topics like religion, but they handled it really well, I think. They also sing so much better than any boy band out there! Looking forward to their soundtrack coming out.


"Contrary to what some may surmise, you need not be a 15-year-old girl from Westchester to have a great time at Altar Boyz, the new musical spoof of Christian pop music and teenage boy bands... this 90-minute romp [is] where sexy, but chaste, young hip-hoppers shake their hot cross buns in tight pants while preaching the dangers of loose morals.

Take me, a 45-year-old childless and straight Upper West Side male without cable who couldn't name a single tune by In Sink... I'm sure there were plenty of references that passed over my head ... but still I laughed my secular butt off.

And yet you can disregard all of that and just kick back with director Stafford Arima's non-stop production that keeps the giddiness soaring at an unholy pace. Either way, I bet there won't be a dry pew in the house."

I think my favorite NY moment this time was ice skating in Rockefeller Center. It was a beautiful day my last day in NY, with the sun shining and an incredibly hot day of high 50 degrees.

Another favorite NY moment: sipping a teanyccino from moby's cafe, teany. What's a teanyccino, u ask? "A blend of toasted flowers, and cornflower blossoms, served with steamed milk or soymilk" YUM, very addicting. It was served to me by a woman who has a faux-hawk. I finally saw what a faux-hawk looked like. ;)

Back to reality with nephro discussion section this morning, along with laundry and bills. woohoo.
