your brains backwards.

my title was inspired from a conversation i heard on the train last night between a father and his young son. the father was frustrated that the his son broke his game and he couldn't "figure the damn thing out". i thought it was hilarious. NOT the fact that a father would speak to his young son that way... but the fact that THAT was his choice phrase. anyhow. on to the good stuff.

last night was the best friday night I have ever had in new york city. I spent 4 dollars total on the subway and 2.50 on a piece of pizza. other than that.... didn't spend a dime.

i was extremely lucky to be invited by my roommate to attend a birthday party for a woman who works in the office next to theirs. the birthday celebration was at pier 17 (at the south street seaport) at spiegelworld. we didnt know what to expect accept for the fact that we were maybe seeing a show? it turns out that the birthday girl had bought out that evening's showing of absinthe. mo and i found some seats... and then were completely amazed for the next two hours..

this show was the most incredible show i have ever seen! it was like a circus for adults! ha. the show has been explained as a 'cabaret circus' and it is like cirque de soleil meets rocky horror picture show.... with a vulgar (but hilarious) and sexual spin. the 'hosts' were hilarious, the music was amazing, the stunts and performances were OUT OF THIS WORLD. there are some pictures on the website - but it really can't be defined by those few photos. the show took my breath away, kept me laughing, and left me in awe.

after the show, mo and i decided to check out the scene outside of the performance tent. there was a band playing and people were dancing. and my most favorite part -- an area of about 12-15 HAMMOCK CHAIRS. i fell in love with the place right then in there. mo and i spent the next hour and a half, laying in the hammocks, listening to the music, watching the people dance, and gazing at the beautiful view of the brooklyn bridge.

ah. just what i needed after a very exhausting week. i love it. now mo and i are eating seven layer dip (i had a ridiculous craving for it) and watching bridget jones' diary. lovely. thats all for now.
