the new yorker


so in the past few days i've had two very quintessential nyc moments.

one was a celebrity siting: whilst shopping for running shoes with the husband, in walks this guy. i was impressed since he's probably one of the industries greats. he can take anything and anyone and put total conviction into it. if he's in a movie i'll make a point to see it. anyway, it was very cool to watch him go somewhat unnoticed on our busy little ethnic street. on the way out of the store we were both searching for a flashy expensive silver monstrosity on four wheels when we spotted him laid back in a regular old subaru. needless to say, power to the suby {sou-bee}.

the other was a classic movie moment: being soaked by a passing cab while standing on the corner of 59th and madison. twice. i felt very bridget jones {yes i know that was london, but tbs had it on the other night}.

  2. he is a great actor...awesome that you saw him! even though he's in a lot of movies, i could totally see him going unnoticed. he's low-key, and seems like he would be "normal" in real life, so he'd easily blend in.
