La. La. La.
I am going to talk about my busy, busy Saturday.
Woke up at 6.30 am to meet Suzanne at Starbucks for some hardcore Matt Damon watching. He never did show.
At 8.30 we leave so I can get a free haircut. I thought there'd be a line, you see. But there wasn't. So we loiter. Go to McD's for breakfast. Go to artsy CD place. Go to deli, in last ditch desperation to stay warm. Finally hair salon opens. Get hair cut. Glad is shorter now.
Then we head on down to C-town (Chinatown) to do hardcore purse shopping. Did buy two purses. And bargained off $10 combined! Excellent deals. For myself: Dior ostrich double saddlebag. For someone else: well, you'll find out, won't you?
After being shoved and shoving, we decide to take a break and eat at Mandarin Court, the yummiest dim sum place there is. It's on Mott St. for those who are in NY and want to check it out. Shared table with two Chinese girls and a Caucasian guy with an older Chinese woman. Couldn't figure out the latter two's relationship. V. v. mysterious.
Back to dorm to drop off purses and check movie times for Girl With a Pearl Earring, which felt much too short. The heat in Colin Firth's glance is enough to carry the movie, I say! But it was shot beautifully, especially the scenes with Griet and Pieter frolicking in a meadow. Nearly makes me want to move to Luxembourg, where it was shot.
After movie, headed uptown to see THE tree. You know the one. Took pictures. Will post at later date. Had fun being assertive girls, shoving people aside. Took sadistic glee at people's confused/angry/belligerent glances. Have been shoved around enough on own.
Then it was back home. So much bustling about. I felt rather accomplished, as by the time most people woke up on my floor, I had already had my hair cut, shopped, and celeb-stalked.
So there was my packed day.
