A Room with a View

Well, its Tuesday night in the City that Never Sleeps, and I ammmmm...not sleeping:)

So much to catch up on!! To start, I saw a kiwi green Ford Focus today and I was quite sad when the license plate didn't say 6 Hugs..Needless to say, I was a bit homesick after that! But back to this weekend! Saturday was a Halloween packed day! Tamara and I went to Central Park in the afternoon for their pumpkin festival, which was really just a bunch of dressed up children, gay men, and dogs...in that order. Came home, made my pumpkin dress, and then was off with some friends for Halloween festivities! We made our way through several bars in Greenwich (all walking distance) and was home by 3:30 am! Best costume of the night....Bert and Ernie from Sesame Street:)

Sunday, I managed to mosey on in to 11:30 mass. Came home and prepped for close to 1 million people packing my street for the Greenwich Village Parade...which passed my street on 6th Ave! Some girls and I went out to dinner at a cute sushi place, and then proceeded to stake out our place along the parade route. Boy was it cold! Trying to exit the parade was quite the feat....mosh pit-esk, I had visions of people getting trampled to death! Sheer chaos! But a one-liner on the parade: a glorified freakshow: any excuse for a man to parade around in either A) a spedo, or b) a dress....use your imagination.

Monday...I moved rooms into a single on the top floor! I LOVE it! It's cozy, and looks right out on the Empire State Building and the Chrystler Building! I am truly blessed.  Actually, I'm looking out right now, and i can see faint lights from Time Square....pinch me please! But after an exciting morning, having to rush and move rooms in 2 hours, I have my own nook...complete with walk-in closet:) That evening, I met with the director of the short film that is going to be shot in early December! We met at Manhattan's version of Big Boy:) It'll be a fin shoot for sure...my character's name is August:)

Today, I just got back from a Women's Night through FOCUS at NYU...it was great! Small group discussion on Edith Stein and her life, complete with Brie cheese:) First time in a long time that I've been in a group where everyone was AMERICAN! Constantin and I did a scene for Hope...so fun!

Tomorrow is my day off so I don't feel so guilty staying up this late.  My friend from Sweden, Emma, invited me to go out to a swanky dinner with one of her guy friends who is a model. I was told..."cocktail dress and spikes"....this is the same friend who invited her to the Boom Boom Room...hmm...could be an interesting night for sure:)

More details to come later:)
