How Much Is That Penguin with the Hammer?

bethje went to two Glee shows at Radio City Music Hall this weekend, and I came along even though I wasn't going to the shows. While she was at the Saturday show, I visited the World of Nintendo store in Rockefeller Center. They had some Wii games available to try out there, and I'm kind of embarrassed to admit that I had to observe other people to see how to work the controller. I'm out of touch, I suppose. I tried New Super Mario Bros. Wii and Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and I'm sure I would have been terrible at them even if I had been experienced at the controls. I also bought Shyguy and Lakitu figures, and stuffed versions of King Dedede and Toad.

After the show, we met Stephanie, and went to some dumpling place that had pretty cheap food. I really liked the shrimp dumplings I got. Then we spent the night at therealtavie and Gina's place, and had breakfast with Gina at some restaurant in Hoboken. Later in the day, we met Lucy, and had dinner at Heartland Brewery with her. Then she took us to Magnolia Cupcakes, which is apparently featured on Oprah and in Sex and the City. I wouldn't know about that, but the cupcake I got (pecan caramel cheesecake) was good. And since I felt I'd spent enough money the previous day, I occupied my time while Beth and Lucy were at the show by reading The Red Pyramid. And that's about all, really. But we're going back to New York tomorrow to see Conan O'Brien, and I'm glad about that but not too anxious to make the drive there and back twice in the same week. Oh, well.

Magnolia Cupcakes? Is that like a cupcake-only franchise of the Magnolia Bakeries? I LOOOOOOOVE Magnolia Bakeries! I always make sure to visit them whenever I'm in NYC. AMAZING!

It's probably the same place, as they do have things other than cupcakes. It's in or near Rockefeller Center.
