yet another star sighting

so this morning i finished editing my dissertation chapter (again) and sent this revised version off to saralyn and molly who helped me re-work it, and then to my advisor-i am hoping she had not yet read the version i sent her in october, and then to my friends alyson and nicole (who i actually interviewed for the dissertation). they said they would be willing to take a look at it too. it felt really good to get it out to them. like one teeny tiny step closer to completion. can you believe both molly and saralyn have already got back to me about it? who is the luckiest? that would be me.

so after i got that together i headed into the city to do a little shopping. i went (for the first time) to the feminist bookstore bluestockings. its a very unassuming place but i like it. they have great tshirts and lots of zines and magazines, and if i may say so myself, they had a copy of the drag king anthology. that felt good. anywho, after that i headed to rockerfeller (is that how you spell it?) center to see the tree and to pick up some chocolates at godiva. yall, i love me some dark chocolate truffles. i am sure they are no good for you, but damn they taste good. anywho, here are some photos of the pretty tree. they lit it last night.





there is something funky with our digital camera, so that is the best i can do for now. i have to ask jes to look at it.

i want to go into the city at night some time between now and christmas day so we can see the lights at night. i will definitely take photos and post them here.

so anywho i was heading back to the subway and as i walked past rockerfeller center (where the today show is filmed i think. oh ann curry i love you) anywho as i passed the building i saw a black escalade and i knew that meant: A STAR IS NEARBY (i'm like a fucking pro yall). so i looked and who did i see?

none other than david cassidy. who is he you might ask. well my little muffin, here are some pics:

old school davey:



present day david cassidy:



for you youngins who don't know, he was on the partridge family. a true hunk alongside leif garrett (i LOVED him)
i mean he is no oprah winfrey (she is in town today for the taping of the david letterman show AND to go and see the opening of "the color purple" on broadway), but i mean i still saw someone famous. that has to count for something, right?

ok i need to get started on dinner. please light a candle/say a prayer for world AIDS day today.

and thanks to all the folks who took the yankee/southern quiz and posted their results. i LOVE feedback.

two more days until jes and i celebrate our FOUR YEAR anniversary. love is in the air yall.
