for every generation, there is born a...


The summer flu caught me this week so I rediscovered my love for Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It's easy to see why it became a cult favorite. Hush is one of their best episodes. You might remember it from season 4, when those creepy Gentlemen steal the voices of all Sunnydale residents so that when they steal their hearts, they can't scream. Morbid, I know, but it makes for a great storyline. And although it earned the show their first Emmy nomination, they didn't win.



A few days ago, I went to City Island, which I'm not even sure I knew existed. It's a part of the Bronx and consists mainly of one main road. I went with J.D & his parents to a restaurant called Sammy's Fish Box, towards the end of the island. In fact, you can see the water from where we sat outdoors. Can I just say, their shrimp scampi is beyond delicious! I may have gained 400lbs while there but it's the best 400lbs ever =P J.D's dad put it best when he said it feels like we're on vacation while there. Speaking of vacation...11, yes 11 more days left until the Orlando trip!



Yesterday, Times Square hosted their first Tony Award viewing/party. It was great! At first the crowd was bare. But as it got closer to show time, the crowd really picked up. By 8pm, it was packed. It made watching more enjoyable because the crowd gets into it and it's just all around fun. I'm definitely going to do it again next year. The opening number was amazing -- Liza, Elton John and all these other Broadway stars on one stage made for an interesting number. Karen Olivo took home the trophy for most tear worthy acceptance speech for Best Supporting Actress in a Musical and I really enjoyed the Rock of Ages performance. That and Next to Normal. Too many shows that need to be seen!
