Last night, Kendrick and I went to see Hamlet at the Broadhurst Theater, and outside we ran into reader Michelle (far right) and her friend Kayla, both visiting from Santa Barbara. 

Jude Law was pretty extraordinary - although I can certainly see why critics have accused him of excessive indicating (when he talks about heaven, the arms go up towards the sky, when he says a number, you can bet that the corresponding number of fingers are extended…that kind of thing).

(Re: my ruddy nose/cheeks…it was FREEZING last night.)

Despite not having played for a while, I fell back into old (good) habits.  My grandmother is a HUGE, HUGE tennis buff and played with me for years.  I took lessons when I was in high school, and then again in college, but never stuck with it long enough to get really good.

One of my new years resolutions is to start playing regularly again.  Anyone have any suggestions for good courts in NYC?

I used to play with my dad at the Manhattan Plaza Racquet Club, on 43rd between 9th and 10th. Good courts in a great location, but they’re a touch pricey. A rundown of the best courses can be found here - the most affordable options include McCarren Park and Queens College.

Mini baking sets?! Yes, please. That one looks straight out of the Martha Stewart Home Collection, which makes me like it even more. 

When I was a kid, this is exactly the kind of present I would have liked. I also liked jewelry making kits, chemistry sets, anything with lots of parts and lots of stuff to do - but apparently kids today want Nintendo DS games. Fine, whatever. We left the baking set behind and headed over to GameStop…which, in case you were wondering, is a madhouse.

This year, the Top 10 Christmas Toys for Kids include DJ Hero and Zhu Zhu Pet Hamsters, which I’ve never heard of before right now.

We spent today Christmas shopping, and stopped into a toy store on 86th Street to look for presents for Kendrick’s niece and nephew. I totally forgot how happy toy stores make me (see evidence of happiness, above).
