Okay, I need to explain.

Yesterday I wrote my entry, but somehow managed to forget to upload it! The first I heard that it wasn't there was late in the afternoon, and I wasn't able to upload until I got home at midnight last night, and then when I tried, I couldn't connect to ftp, which just about figures.

Anyway, I was able to connect at 2.30 this morning, so I thought I'd leave it up for half of today, since you missed it yesterday! It wasn't because I was too lazy to update this morning, I swear!

Anyway, if you still missed yesterday's entry, you can read it here.

So yesterday I was going to work and the traffic was awful through the tunnel, and I couldn't figure out why since it was after 9a, and then we get to 42nd St, and everything is still just inching along, and I'm looking out the window and I see this guy on the street corner and he's short and has brown hair and a mustache and he's wearing this white vest with poofy white fur and I thought "Gee, that guy sure looks like Sonny Bono! What a tool!"

I couldn't wait any longer, so I jumped out of the van and walked up towards 9th, and there are like four news van and all these cameras and crowds of people and reporters interviewing tall skinny women wearing long black wigs, and then I saw the sign:

"Open Call for The Sonny and Cher Story"

I started to laugh. I couldn't believe that I was going to be late(er than usual) for work because of a bunch of dorks who actually think that there is a reason for having an open call beyond generating publicity for an upcoming project!

Yeah, sure honey, you're gonna get to play Cher!

So last night Nik and I went to see The Avengers, and, as soon as it ended I turned to him and said "You know how every movie we see is a classic? Um, I think that streak has ended." And he said "It has been smashed irrevocably, never to return!"

It wasn't a bad movie, actually it was pretty fun, and had a really loony plot involving Sean Connery wanting to control the weather and people having secret meetings dressed as giant teddy bears, which was just exactly like something from the old series, and Ralph and Uma were very cool and witty and British, but there were a couple of things that were very bad and wrong if one is a fan of the series. It wasn't worth nine dollars, but what movie is?

Nik's big complaint was that the movie was pretty denuded of people. London was empty as a tomb! "Couldn't they have afforded some extras?", he grumbled.

And this afternoon I had my picture taken for the article in the Newark Star-Ledger.

I had specified that I didn't want the picture taken in my apartment, I'd rather have it taken up in the house or in the backyard, mostly because my place is such a goddamn mess, but when the guy came he said that he had been told to get a shot of me and my computer. I tried to talk him out of it, but he acted all disappointed, so I had to give in. I told him later that that was exactly how to get what you want in this world! Disappointment opens many doors.

But he was very nice, and I showed him my pictures and he was suitably impressed and we discussed wedding photography and I hope I won't look too fat.

And I hope that no-one from work sees it.
