I have finally got back on the movie wagon. For the last month I just haven’t been on my game as much but I got the holidays and a couple of vacation days to catch up.
Sunday I saw New York, I Love You. I really liked it. It was not at as great as Paris Je Taime which I love and the stories weren’t as good and the film was not as cohesive but it was definitely enjoyable. It did remind me why New York is such a great place. I had couple of the stories I enjoyed more than others and surprisingly one that I like immensely was directed by a director I am not very fond of but nonetheless this installment was overall an enjoyable one.

Tonight…….
New York Comedy Festival - Mike Birbiglia at Town Hall. It was pretty cool. He had a surprise band open. I was on pins and needles wondering who it was and very delighted to find it was Mates of States. Mike as usual was funny. He told my favorite funny story and one the many baby daddies I have was there……Ira Glass….with his lady (lame). My friend and I were getting a bit stalker-ish with very little success. This is the 3rd time I have seen Mike Birbiglia and love his comedy. He has great little stories that are a little sad and endearing but always funny.
Side note: The New York Comedy Festival is a huge sausage fest. What’s that about folks? Seriously. Were Sarah Silverman and Maria Bramford busy?
Yeah, folks. I got it and you know what I was thisclose to taking my punk ass down to the signing at Borders today but unfortunately my job owns me from about 930 to 6. I am actually really surprised at how much I love this show even with the minor issues I have with which I hope will work themselves as the show progresses (Mr. Murphy, I get black women are sassy!). But overall for me this is a pretty amazing show and I look forward to it every Wednesday. I mean I would have never thought a mash up of Bon Jovi’s “It’s My Life” and Usher’s “Confessions” would be something I would like. Seriously, I think hell has frozen over.
What’s next? Am I going to start listening to Lady Gaga? OMG, that would be scary.
