"beggin', beggin' you. put your loving hand out, baby"
Am back from NYC and Vegas. The flights weren't bad but since I saw Final Destination I think I'm repeatedly seeing omens of my impending doom. It didn't help that Stephen King's new book that I was reading, he wouldn't stop talking about plane crashes. As everyone gets off the pilot and the air stewards stand at the end saying goodbye and I have the "thank you" in my throat but can't release it otherwise "THANK YOU FOR NOT KILLING ME IN A FIREBALL OF DEATH!" comes out so I just give a curt nod instead.
I love, love New York! I'd love to live there if I could ever get to the grips with the money. What's the difference between a dime and a cent? I think I over tipped everywhere. I imagine a statue is being built in my honour. I love all the Obama mania they had in NYC. I wish I'd bought the "Obama says knock you out" top or the fridge magnet of him made up as Jesus. I was suprised to see Jade Goody made the CNN news there regarding the OK magazine printing the tribute before her death. And was sorry to hear about Ron Silver and Natasha Richardson. We went to see the St Patrick's day parade, I went insane on Benefit make up in Macy's and bought a beautiful necklace from Tiffany's (and may not be able to eat for a few months), went to the top of Rockerfeller, usual tourist haunts and on one tour we passed the Dakota building where Lennon was killed. There were two people on the doorstep and someone yelled "Is that Tina Turner!" It wasn't, it was Roberta Flack. But in the confusion over whether it was Tina I never looked at the person she was talking to and didn't find out until later it was Lauren Bacall. I wasted eye time on bloody Roberta Flack when Bacall was bloody there.
After three days in NYC we flew to Vegas. You know it really is like more extravagant Blackpool. I managed to find yet another Macy's and blow more money on Benefit and we went to see The Jersey Boys. I never realised how many songs I liked were by the Four Seasons. I just went on a download spree. Oh, in MGM Grand casino I took a photo just for you stillsparkling! When I find my upload wire I'll send it. They had a huge Bette Davis poster there too but she only worked on five films at MGM and four of those were in the twilight of her career. Yes, I'm a nerd. Even nerdier is that in the bathroom they had a MGM woman in each cubicle and I ran back and forth from each toilet to see who was in and then totally creeped out one woman by waiting for her to leave and go in look at hers. I think I've put an entire stone on from all the buffets over there!
Hmm, may go to Debenhams for more Benefit. I'm getting withdrawal symptoms.
