Parent Trap
It's amazing how you can actually take a holiday in New York City, without actually leaving it.
Spent the weekend with my parents who flew in from India last week, and been gorging, watching shows, chilling out and basically enjoying the good weather.
Unfortunately, couldn't go and pick them up on Friday, because I was working, but hung out with them plenty that night. Saw this beautiful ballet - Opus Cactus - performed by this group called "Momix" at the Joyce theatre in Chelsea. And while we were having lunch across the street at better burger amidst men in tank tops, wife beaters and other overly gay apparel, my mom was busy with her burger.
A : So, chelsea is like the gay capital of New York City
M : Oh ok. So, where are all the gay men?
*Sigh* You gotta love her - even though she has a gay son and a psychiatrist for a husband, she still manages to be so naive!
Saw this Korean film Oldboy - great film - but so friggin graphic and disturbing!! Not the best film to watch in the company of your parents.
Had dinner at El Rio Grande at 38th and 3rd - got drunk on 2 margaritas, and escorted and even drunker mother home, who insisted on walking because the weather was so great. Man, you know you're getting old when you have to take your parents home.
Sunday morning had a squabble with the brother over bagels, before we went for the new broadway show "The Pillowman." The show stars Jeff Goldblum and Billy Crudup (from Almost Famous), it was definitely entertaining, although the humor was definitely dark.
Ass was on fire after dinner at home from this great Chinese place - Grand Sichuan East ( which is real chinese and not the american crap!)
Somewhere between then and yesterday managed to see Black ( I shed half a tear) , Teesri Manzil and Suspect Zero on DVD.
I wish I lived in that New York. Back at work now. Looking up hepatitis C and B therapies. *sigh* Laut aaye beete hue din (bring back the old days)
