Gee, whiz, it's been a long day! I went into MTI around 11:00 and the office closed at 3:00, so I walked my happy little rump up to the Loews at Lincoln Square and I saw Opie's new movie, "The Missing." I swear I've seen this movie before...several times before, in fact. Just call it "The Injun Stole My Daughter." I thought I was in for some kind of Dr. Quinn meets the Blair Witch, but no... It was a beautiful movie, visually speaking, and Ms. Cate Blanchett basically can do no wrong, but that's about all I can say about it. It wasn't bad--just bland. But I did enjoy some popcorn and Sour Patch Kids, which I love...just not together.
After the movie, I ran post-haste to the Met where I worked from 7:00 to 12:15 (LE NOZZE DI FIGARO) and then it took me a good hour to get home.
Anywho, when I got home, one of my CDs finally arrived from Amazon. No DVDs from NetFlix, but one of my CDs...the Bette Midler GYPSY. I'm actually enjoying it!
Tomorrow I must rise at the crack of noon and hie myself to the home of my wonderful boss from the Met. He and his wife are taking me in for the holiday and feeding me what promises to be a wonderful meal. I'm excited to eat real food, but a little nervous about being the only non-family member at their holiday celebration. I'm afraid I'll feel very out of place. Oh, well...I'll do my best to enjoy myself and try not to think about my entire family gathering back home...all 75 of them.
