so, i will start with thursday...
we arrived at the house, dropped leila off and because i didn't want to have to talk to anyone until later, me and my mother drove off and went to the hilton. we got up to the room and i showered and got all ready for dinner and she was like "ariel we need to leave" except dinner was at 6 and it was like, 5...but then i was sitting applying some makeup and through the door in the hallway i can hear this woman go "Michael!?!" and then this man go "Blah Blah Blah" (he didn't really say that, i just can't remember what he did say) but i could tell right away that it was my uncle Michael, so it was kind of funny, but i didn't want to go out and say hello..so then we go over to the house and walk in and everyone wants hugs and they talk about "how tall i've gotten" and it's all well and good...so then we start the seder and it's mad ass boring, like always...and we finally get to eat and we have some good ass food and then everythings all over and my grandma was being a major bitch telling me and leila to clean up and help her pass out coffe cups but then telling me that i was doing it the wrong way and i was like screw this so me and leila went up to our room and i watched the end of alexander and we went to bed at like, 10:30...
Friday:
so i wake up at like, 7:30 and read a little of "Cohen!" which is perfect for this occasion. then leila finally wakes up around 8 and we both get all dressed and ready and then we assume we're going out to breakfast and then going to the city and getting an early start...but lord knows grandma has to prepare breakfast herself, but sice there's no leavened bread, we had to eat these dry nasty matza rolls and they were so gross but i swollowed one down so i could have my pills, and then we had some macaroons. so after we wait around for stefan because he went to work out at the gym and isn't back and leila and julian and me all want to leave (btw, julian is the best cousin ever...he's like a little girl!) so he finally gets there and everyone's sitting around and talking and he says he doesn't want to go into the city with us and we're like okay, lets leave...so we get into the mercedes and drive away and we get to the city and start walking around to find an urban outfitters (since there are 6 in the city) and we get to it and it's the crappiest one ever, it's mad ass hot and crowded but we got some cool stuff and then we walked back down and went to the puma store and i thought i would find some cool pumas but i didn't so we went next door to lady foot locker and i found the best pair of pumas so we got those and then we went to Yellow Rat Bastard and went hog wild and got all these awesome shirts and bags and long johns...and julian got this paul frank shirt that says "only a hero can save me" and it's got a picture of a sub sandwich with a cape on, because hero is another word for sub...it was awesome...and then we go back to the car and drive over to virgin records and we go down to their cafe and get some drinks (i was drinking formula 50 and a perier) and so then we look around virgin records and find all this boss shit but we couldn't get all of it so eventually we picked out season 2 of scrubs, the new placebo dvd, and the kelly clarkson CD...julian got californiacation by the red hot chili peppers and the new all american rejects cd...i was so proud *tear* and we all got headphones...so then we go around looking for a store where leila can find a fitted hat for corey, and we end up going to the big foot locker and we find a hat (he likes the yankees) and since the hats were buy one get one half off, me and leila got a red sox hat...so we look gangster now...and then we had an ass load of time left so we walked over to this hotel called the milenium hotel and had "coctails" but my grandpa was the only one having alcohol, we just had shirley temples...and then we went to the resturant and it was called Bond 24 or something like that (it was bond with a number after it) and our waiter was hilarious and we ate sooo much...i got a salad and calamari and ravioli...and we all shared these mozzarella platters, and then leila got the veal parmesean and it was soooo good and sooo big...so we left there and went to the theater and sat down and leila and i got to sit next to our great aunt sylvia and it was awesome because nobody wanted to have to make her stand up so other people could go in, so they all just went around so we never had to stand up either...and then the play started and i thought it was going to suck because john lithgow wasn't in it (we were seeing dirty rotten scoundrels btw) but it was awesome because guess who played the main dude...ELIZABETH'S FATHER FROM PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN..it was really exciting...and the guy who played the stupid young guy's last name was butz
