And we're on Saturday!
To recap, Friday had me chillin' with a professional fighter on the train, ordering an $18 drink, playing Apples to Apples, and hanging out with a couple of brosefs who go by the names of Tom and Jerry.
So, Saturday comes around and Ca$h and I are up early to head off for some morning stretches at pilates. It's an intimate class, with only Cassie, me, and some other chick there. The teacher is a funny lady, dressed up in her idea of a "cop" suit because she has an audition later that day. I'm all about fitness and stretching it out, but the real reason I was down to try the class is because I had heard a lot of stories of the teacher using different tactics to bring awareness to the body. For instance, using the term "neon thong". Sounds terrible, but it certainly does paint a picture of what area is being referred to. No neon thongs wore mentioned, but the ladycop teacher really enjoyed the phrase "lady station". I have taken years of dance and am currently hooked on Mind Body Barre classes, but yeah, one thing that pilates has always gotten me at (and not in a good way) is all the thinking about body parts. I find that I spend so much timing worrying about keeping my spine this way and that and over-thinking each move that I am free-birding. So, yeah, more lady station/neon thong talk please. Anyway, the whole experience was pretty good. I felt pretty limber afterwards which is always a plus.
Post-pilates, we had some mango bean salad (kudos to Ca$h), got our nails did, and went to an outstanding kitchen store. At the store, I was able to purchase some great stuff. Please refer to picture!!

After all that fun, Cassie and I headed for some Mexican grub and then counted down the minutes until we would be exposed to "Spring Breakers". Okay, by now a lot of you (maybe?) have seen or at least heard of the movie. Let me tell you, it is SOMETHING. Here is the trailer and no, I don't recommend all audience members to watch this. It's very "R" if you will. Cassie and I only had a vague idea of what to expect. We found ourselves either laughing, about ready to leave our seats, and very "are you dead serious" the whole time. The best/worst part is that everyone around us seemed to be taking the whole thing in quite seriously. No one else seemed a little bit put off by the fact that it's the same like three script parts continuously looped over and over again. "Spring break. sprrriiiiing breaaaaak. Sprriiiiing breeeeak foreeever..." and "It's really nice here, Grandma. Everyone is so warm and welcoming..." and "You scared?! You scared? Yoouuuu scarreeeeed? Scaredy pants!!!" So much of that over and over. Yet, I do agree, some parts were kind of badass. Britney Spears montage was something. And yeah, I enjoyed all of the neon and stuff, but yeah. Whoa, I should get off this topic. Way to be vague....
So, after watching that, we both felt a bit off, understandably so. At this point, my voice was starting to go (bronchitis whaaat!), which added to my wtf-ness. We eventually parted ways, Ca$h to an engagement party for tall people, and I off to spread cheer in the Lower East Side. After making a cameo in the place where I used to work, I headed to the West Village to visit my dear friend, Jess. Craig's List brought us together back in 2007. Roommates, what! And we're still great friends, go figure! So, I got lost a lot en route to her apartment, because I always get lost in the Village, but it was lovely to see her and her nice boyfriend, once I eventually did arrive. I, quite hoarsely, caught them up on my life, and they, with much stronger voices, filled me in on theirs. The boy eventually left, and Jess and I hit up the town, aka went to a bar around the corner for a glass of wine. There we did more chatting, made some friends, and took some toilet paper. It wasn't stealing because stealing is bad, and also because we told the staff that we were in need and they were fine with it. It was a stellar time indeed, and the toilet paper came in handy, because it is a necessity and all (well, to most, or some).
Saturday was off the heezy, but as you may have gathered long. I mean, I really wouldn't blame anyone for stopping after the first paragraph. I do have rambling tendencies! Next up: a sweet-ass brunch and the WEDDING!!!!
And a lot of other great shiz because I'm totally revamping in crazy, mind-blowing ways! Brace yourself! And have a fabulous day!!!
