round and round

Asher’s first time on a carousel, the video speaks for itself.

1st time on a carousel from bhkart on Vimeo.

I don’t know that he liked it but at least he didn’t cry.

gayest show ever?

I don’t know but I am super stoked. HBO is working on a pilot about broadway and I really hope it gets picked up

Read about it here

Lee Pace from Pushing Daisies is cast and he’s one of my favorite favorites so that just makes it even more heart-burstingly exciting.

To quote Neil Patrick Harris from the 2009 Tony Awards, “this show couldn’t get any gayer if Liza was named mayor”

Hells to the Yes! That sounds like my kind of programming.

tv draft

Network upfronts are this week which is pretty much like the NFL draft for television programming. I am about as excited to see the fall line up as a crazed football fan is about the 3 days of prime time viewing they get every april.

So If you are looking for me, here is where I’ll be:

at the CW

MONDAY:
8-9 p.m. — 90210
9-10 p.m. — Gossip Girl

TUESDAY:
8-9 p.m. — One Tree Hill
9-10 p.m. — Life Unexpected

WEDNESDAY:
8-9 p.m. — America’s Next Top Model
9-10 p.m. — HELLCATS

THURSDAY:
8-9 p.m. — The Vampire Diaries
9-10 p.m. –NIKITA

FRIDAY:
8-9 p.m. — Smallville
9-10 p.m. — Supernatural

Ok I am somewhat kidding, everyone knows I never got into Smallville!

I think I’ll do an update on my fall 09 TV pics to see where I landed and what I need to catch up on over the summer.

Also, you should definitely be watching Vampire Diaries.

And Life Unexpected.

Asher started his swimming lessons this week and he loves it! No surprise there but he really enjoyed frolicking in the pool with Matthew and the other babies.

craft fair nerd

Every year for 3 years in a row I was onsite and out of town for the Brooklyn Renegade Craft Fair. Last year we were here but I can’t remember why we didn’t go, although moving the week before likely had something to do with it.

This year its June 5-6 and I am planning on going and getting mega excited about all the crap important things I am going to buy.

(future self take note)

I also heard about this NEW craft fair that I’d like to check out. Its in walking distance at the Brooklyn Lyceum which is pretty convenient.

Random note…the guy that designs all their posters designed this awesome print that we have hanging in Asher’s room.

Anyway there are a number of markets that I need to get my behind to when it warms up a bit. One is the Can Factory Market which is also in walking distance and the other is the world famous Brooklyn Flea.

Now I have been to the Flea before. Just once. The VERY VERY VERY first day ever. This is a photo I took of Tim looking forlorn because it was freezing and lame.

timflea

How lame exactly?

flea

Pretty lame. Since then it has exploded into indie craft awesomeness and I haven’t even gone back. I know, I know. I’m a little bit stupid like that.

I think I need a craft fair buddy. Matthew has zero interest so it’s hard for me to get motivated. Anybody want to come important thing shopping with me? I’ll buy you a Waffle and Dinge or an papusa from the Red Hook Ball Field Vendors*

*move to NY and you can be in the know.

radio city: the first show

The Radio City Christmas Show

radiocity1

We went on Saturday. Matthew has wanted to go for years and years and I…didn’t. Come on, I get seriously Christmassed out you guys. I often have to enforce the completely reasonable Christmas music rules around here (Sundays in November and every day after Christmas) Its just. Too. Much.

radiocitympandasher

Anyway Matthew is so lucky because there are only a few people in all the world that love both Christmas and musicals as much as he does and they are related to him. Some were also here for Thanksgiving weekend. Last Thanksgiving we all got to see White Christmas so this year little Matthew finally got his Chreeeestmas weeeeesh.

radiocity2

We were able to get pretty great seats last minute, which is really lucky.

radiocitypiercy

All 4 Piercys were RIVITED natch, including the wee one. Of course Asher loves musicals. And if he doesn’t, well that’s too bad for him I guess.

radiocityreindeer

But what’s not to love?

radiocity3

He was great, and totally happy to sit on my lap and watch the show

Until the last 15 minutes, when he got kinda fussy so we took a walk. I don’t know why I was so concerned. The show has absolutely nothing to do with Christmas! Its just like holidays in new york with the Rockettes! Singing! Tapping! Riding a touristy bus! Really kind of cute and awesome to see the Rockettes for the first time.

Then later in the car we are talking about our favorite parts and Matthew said he loved the nativity.

The what now?

Apparently they bust out the Jesus stuff at the end so they can call it a Christmas show. Well I guess I left at the right time. Awww SNAP!

Now I have something to look forward to the next time we go, because seeing how much Asher loved it, I am sure we will be back.

trampolining

“This video shows Oli Lemieux practicing on the trampoline wall of Cirque du Soleil and I’ve watched it twice already. I keep searching for clues that it’s just a cleverly edited video, that someone couldn’t possibly really do these stunts.”

{via gizmodo}

Yeah. I can’t even get off the couch while holding the baby.
