After discriminately searching through the multitude of requests to view my blog, I have selected my dearest,bestest friends and doubled my readership. Okay I begged people to read it and the number is up to 6, picky, picky. I mustn't have been to selective because one of the readers thinks GWM stands for guy with money, Boy does he not know me. Today I once again had to attach my Angels of Mercy wings and spent hours by Jimmy's father's bedside after chauffering Miss Kitty (Jim's Mom) to the hospital. There was a diversion to LaGuardia airport for Jimmy's lost luggage, but I selflessly won't dawdle on about that, because I've only just got my blood pressure back to normal. Joe finally went in for surgery, and came through with flying colors. He came out of post-op smiling and laughing (what ever drugs they use there; I WANT) probably more from the prospect of going home soon for if no other reason. Now that I have successively medicated myself with Vicodin, I can enlighten the world with my pearls of wisdom.
Last Sunday we had the pleasure of dinner and a movie with good friends (They picked up the phone, so they are either good friends or too cheap to get caller id). We had an early dinner at Ludlow's in Deer Park with "Mustang" John and "Artsy-Fartsy" Ken. Their cocktails went down so smoothly, we were on seconds before the food came. I must tell you the place is a find, so much so I hear people travel from Bayville for the food. The restaurant is small and intimate and the food was just delicious so if your looking for a place to eat check it out: www.ludlowbistro.com. We then headed off for the new theaters at the Tanger Outlets in Deer Park to see Julie and Julia, starring Meryl Streep and Amy Adams. We were joined at the theater by none other then Cha Cha LaBucca, of Arthur Murray notoriety. The poor thing had a splitting headache and wasn't even out to 4 in the morning the night before. So after paying the hefty ticket prices, we entered the theater to experience the Cinema. Jimmy couldn't wait to see the movie, since he's been in love with Julia Child since his first easy-bake oven. Aunt Meryl's performance was again outstanding. She captured Julia Child with a great comic edge. Though I hadn't read the reviews prior to this, I had read the interviews with the actors and Meryl's take on playing the part through Julie's eyes was so outside the box. It is definitely a chick flick, comparing the Marriages of the two. But it was humorous enough to keep you intrigued. I adore Amy Adams but found her to be a little flat in the role, not really believing she was in love with hot guy. Cha Cha was drooling; he should have went out for the part. The espresso martinis definitely worked on Mustang, he only slept through half the movie. And for anyone who goes to the movies with Artsy-Fartsy don't share a popcorn, share is not in his vocabulary. The movie was worth the ticket price , it gets 3 red boas. Dinner and a Movie made for a great night out, until leaving the theater when we were almost totaled by some drunk on the wrongside of the road. Oh that's right that was Mustang driving to Artsy-Fartsy's directions, nevermind.
Well now comes my blog to a close. Hope I kept you interested, if not hopefully this will. http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1919417. Tata for now
