Fire Flies

I saw fire flies for the first time.

It made me feel like a little kid, they are quite an interesting little creature. The girls I was walking with were shocked that I'd never seen one before and shared stories about catching them as children. I'd seen that in movies, but it's different to hear people I know talk about having fire flies in jars. The only fire flies I'd ever seen were the tiny lights on top of wires in the first few moments of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride in Disneyland.

This time I saw them flying around a garden on a walk to to East River. Some girls that I work with and I walked across a bridge to a place called Ward Island where we sat on the bank of the river and looked at the city. It was amazing. There's so much let still to see, and I've already been so amazed so many times.

I saw my first show on Broadway; I saw "In The Heights". I was quite impressed. I didn't get to see the creator, Lin-Manuel, but he was the only one who's understudy was on. It's very much traditional musical theater with a new music feel. I loved it.

I've often said I was going to write a sitcom someday, and I had no idea what the premise would be. I think it's going to be about a girl in her 20's in New York who lives with a bunch of gay guys. :) Wonder where I got that idea.

That's enough for now. I have huge important things to do... like watch So You Think You Can Dance. :)
