BEHOLD...THE JET BABY!

This weekend, minus the kick-in-the-pants revelation about moving on with my life, Z and I walked all over NYC. We saw the Christmas-themed windows at Macys, Saccs, Hallmark, um..some random stores...Disney...and escaped unscathed! There were long lines to wait in if you wanted to get up close to the windows, but after Macys we learned and browsed from a safe distance.

Z also surprised me with a totally awesome trip to Nintendo World! There were Gameboy DS's littered all over the first floor, a Pokemon corner, and upstairs, well, there was more 'store'. In fact, there was a lot of store, and very little Nintendo history, besides a Famicom and a charred Persian Gulf Gameboy. Got me a sweet Metroid Zero figure!

Saturday night was the premiere of Chuchi, the Little Boy Made of Carpet (paraphrased) at The Carriage House, a Henson-owned studio where they take pictures of the muppets. This short, made as a cautionary tale for Afganistanian children, was AMAZING and HILARIOUS. When the magical carpet lad wasn't learning about the real-life dangers of forgotten landmines and UXOs, he was being tricked by Djinn into hitting a bomb with a stick. After he lost a couple limbs and had his legs replaced by a ladle and a fork, he finally learned his lesson and became a real boy! Someday, you all will see this.

It was after apartment hunting on Sunday that we ate at an Italian diner in Harrison. Their spaghetti tasted like Spaghettios and made my insides go OH CRAP..OH CRAP EXPLOSION!
