Eeek, i guess I have not been out and about for a while...we went to see the Met Opera "Tosca" in the park, which was great except for the 2 Paris Hilton wannabes in front of us who never got off their cell phones through the entire first act...thankfully they left before Act 2 began but why the hell would you go to an Opera and not listen to one note? Anyway, we wandered the Upper West Side looking for an after opera drink and it resembled a shopping mall and so did the people,,,creepy, very "Dawn of the Dead". So we cab it downtown to the, ugh, Meatpacking District, where my friend lives and looking for an outdoor place to smoke and drink, she takes me to the Maritime Hotel. UGH, I think these girls are living in some distortion of Sex and the City and America's Next Top Model and the guys are just ugly or pitiful ,fashion and look wise...yuk! and they are all scurrying about the area like roaches in trendy, tacky clothes, from one wannabe model bar to another ....this is very depressing.
