I sit here, as my mother watches the Clinton-edited version of The Path to 9-11, typing this last blog entry before New York Day. It's kind of like Christmas Day, only you don't get presents. I mean, unless by presents you mean an apartment in New York City a mere ten minutes walk from Times Square.
Once again I'm thinking, "Wow. Maybe all this September 11th stuff wasn't such a good idea." I mean, I went to my Mom and Dad's Sunday school class today and they said a special prayer for me, not JUST because I'm moving to Le Cité Grande, but also because I'm traveling on this particular day.
It's especially comforting to look over at the TV and see a bunch of Arab actors firing guns into the air, shrieking the Xena battle cry, "ay-ay-ay-ay!" (that was sarcasm, by the way). Why do they want to kill me? I don't have a lot of money. I don't make important decisions. I just want to sing and dance on a stage so people will love me. What's so wrong about that?
Why can't they show something like...oh...I dunno...Tomb Raider? I like Tomb Raider.
"In memory of those who fell on September 11th...
...the world premiere of...
Angelina Jolia as Lara Croft: Tomb Raider!"
That'd be so cool.
Once again, I think I crossed a great big line there. But you know. That's what the 42nd Floor is all about.
But, as Dr. No observed, flying into New York on the fifth anniversary of the September 11th attacks is kind of like giving the big middle finger to Osama. And that makes me feel very...patriotic.
Unfortunately, these past few days at home have wrecked havoc on my abs. Havoc. It will take weeks--no--months to repair the damage that has been done by all the food my parents have been shoving down my all too-eager gullet.
More ab updates to follow.
It's kinda funny to think that tomorrow night I'll be in New York City. *thoughtful hmm*
More tomorrow!
