vovatAfter work on Friday, Beth and I went to see Michael Ian Black at Carolines on Broadway in Manhattan. Before the show, we stopped at Nintendo World, which I think is actually called Nintendo NYC now, where I bought a Donkey Kong T-shirt. This was one Beth had bought me for a gift, but it turned out to be too small, and when we went back to do an exchange they still only had smalls and mediums. She got me something else instead, but they have large ones now. I'd been low-key collecting the Mario enemy plush toys they sell there, but it's been a while since they last changed their stock. I know there are some I don't have, especially as I wrote about Wigglers the other day, and I know there's a plush Wiggler. For some reason, I'm not as interested in the main characters. I love Mario, and Luigi probably even more, but a stuffed animal of a human seems a little off. If anyone wants to give me one, though, I won't complain. Speaking of video game toys, though, why do Square-Enix figures cost so much?
As with the movie theater the previous day, we had to show proof of vaccination at the entrance and wear masks in the lobby, but we were allowed to remove them in the room where the show actually was. There were two openers, and I can't remember the name of the first one. I do remember he was from Foster-Glocester, Rhode Island, and he made a lot of jokes about growing up in the woods.
The second, Jocelyn Chia, was originally from Singapore and was a lawyer for a while before pursuing comedy.
Michael had recently moved to Georgia, as he apparently wasn't making enough money to keep paying for his place in Connecticut. He did a few bits he had before, like the ones about extreme snack foods and his daughter's graduation.
I understand he's done a few more episodes of the snack podcast he did with Tom Kavanaugh, but neither of us have listened to them yet. He did do a Cameo from the stage, for a person who said he was a stepping stone to Paul Rudd.
After the show, we rode the Ferris Wheel that's temporarily in Times Square. That was pretty fun, but I got the impression the employees weren't really in accord, which was frustrating. The tickets were for a specific block of time, and one guy told us that everyone with a 9:00 ticket should come to the front of the line, only for someone else to send us to the back again. I feel like a simple policy should have prevented confusion like that.
Our cat Reagan is on a few different kinds of medicine. We'd been giving her two kinds of liquid, and she'd immediately try to drool out as much as possible. Recently, we started on a pill, and she hated it so much that she'd try to hide under the bed when it came close to the time we usually give it to her. I guess from her point of view, we torture her every day for no reason, then act like it never happened the rest of the day. It costs extra, but we're going to get that kind of medicine compounded into a liquid, since that's at least a little easier. When she's not hiding, she spends a lot of time in this box that we put on its side, and I'm loath to get rid of it even though we've had it for a few weeks and space is at a premium.
