NY, NY, etc

So I am officially, 100% no longer a resident of NYC. This past week I ventured there to clear my old apartment of any remains. It was a prosperous visit. I saw David Letterman, a few friends, a Broadway show (Little Women starring my friend Amy McAlexander), a couple movies, and I did a little shopping and eating...ok, lots of eating. The flicks I caught were Kinsey, which was phenomenal, and Finding Neverland, which was very good. I recommend them both. David Letterman was an interesting experience. The guest list was awesome (note sarcasm). The guests were Rudy Giuliani and some 11 year old drummer prodigy. LAME. Perhaps some of you caught the broadcast. The 11 year old kid was actually pretty good, but c'mon...couldn't they get ONE movie star? Speaking of movie stars...what is wrong with Mos Def? Wait...did I say movie star? I meant to say "rapper slash movie star". Anyways, is there something wrong with him mentally? Did he get hit by a bus or something? I just watched an interview with him on the late late show with Craig Ferguson and not only was his singing performance atrocious but during his interview he sounded a bit on the slow side. Does he talk like this in the movies? I really can't remember seeing a movie he was in. But I was just appalled by his performance. It really was atrocious. There is no other word for it. Craig Ferguson, however, is great. I really like him as a talk show host. I guess he's just a temp though. So final assessment: I no longer live in NYC at all, go see Finding Neverland and Kinsey, David Letterman is in dire need of celebrities, Mos Def sucks, Craig Ferguson doesn't, and Mos Def sucks...he seems nice though.
