9:00AM-10:30AM
Morning time. Oofness. Wake up. Google Stuff. Blog. Blah. Get Ready. Ciao.
10:30AM-12:00PM
I head to the Embody Studio on Bedford for a private Rope lesson w/Cody.
I met Cody at flying trapeze and I'm glad I did. She's a wonderful instructor. She can instantly point out any flaws in my form. She was encouraging from beginning to end and suggested helpful stretches to help loosen my body.
Oh keep it clean!
12:00PM-1:15PM
Arts & Crafts!
After Rope I headed to Spacecraft.
Spacecraft is a small shop where you can walk in and do crafts or buy supplies. It's also great for kids. I felt as if I should have brought a child or have been one instead of being some weird girl painting a fish for no damn reason.
1:15PM-1:45PM
I headed over to Serenity for some eyebrow threading. Why have I been willingly getting my face waxed with hot heat when this alternate procedure is painless? Probably cause cheap Asian salons are ubiquitous. Anyhow, Irina was attentive and quick. Although I did like her work I did not like the price: $15, ya fucking kidding me? I'll continue to thread on at another location.
1:15PM-2:45PM
More girly salon crap! I headed to The Beehive.
My stylist, Louie, knew his stuff. He asked me several questions about what I wanted, listened and then actually gave me the cut and style I asked for! Shocking. Cost: $65.
2:45pm-5:15pm
I can only take so much of Williamsburg before I have to get the fuck out.
Why is this neighborhood so crowded in the middle of the day?! Get an office job so I can enjoy my psedounemployment!
I headed to Podunk for tea time! All my bathroom friends know of my affinity for tea and my bladder's inability to retain it.
I ordered the truckers meal (at least I think that's what it was called) from Mrs Doubtfire's doppelganger. The meal included a potato tart topped with eggs, sausage and BACON with a side of two scones, some fruit and butter, jam and honey dips. Plus, my choice of a pot of tea!
It was a bit pricey, $24 (cash only), but well worth it. I was filled till the end of the night.
I sat, read and wrote in the cozy little shop that could have been located in an 'ole English town.
5:15pm-8:00PM
I walked on over to midtown to meet Nick and see 46 Circus Acts in 45 Minutes.
The audience was filled with like-heighted individuals. The staff even had booster seats for me and the children!
The all Aussie performance was okay. I mentally took notes for juggling and physically flinched when knives were added to the act.
8:00PM-10:00PM
After the show we stopped by Godiva to get me some treats!
Then we headed to my neighborhood of choice for dinner: Astoria!
Trattoria L'incontro was a most gratifying experience. The delectable food coupled with impeccable service are two top reasons to come back. My waiter must have a background in magic, appearing out of thin air whenever my desires needed to be met. At a turn of the head my glass of soda was refilled and I never had an empty, or near empty, glass of water. The manager (or owner or random friendly guy) and the rest of the stuff were also delightfully friendly. I felt as if I were a regular eating at my favorite local restaurant where everyone knows me but not in the usual "oh god how awful it's her!" way.
