J. Z. Empire State of Mind: A Rockin' Day

May 21. Today I got to sleep in a little. For real this time. I watched some television then made my way down to Saks, for a quick return, Quality Concern. Then I made my way back uptown to go to the Guggenheim Museum. I am a fan of Frank Lloyd Wright and have wanted to visit for a while, it was definitely worth my time. The exhibits were also worth my time and pretty interesting. It was film and photographs and a nice range of time periods and styles. The one thing I was surprised by was that some of the pieces were framed and had matting - just made them look cheap. The museum's skylight is being refurbished so it was not in all its glory, but still a nice atmosphere. Loved the museum, just the right size. After the museum took a cab to the Plaza for tea in the Palm Room. I thought it was going to be better than the Brown Palace... not even close. The service was slow and not friendly. The food was only okay. And it cost $50. I was expecting it to be expensive, but I was expecting to get something worth while. I plan to write a strongly worded letter on how disappointed I was. After lunch I walked over to Rockefeller Center to see about tickets and times for Top of the Rock - similar to Empire State Building height and look out tour. Got a ticket for 9:05pm and then headed back over by the Plaza for the Paris Theater. They were playing Babies. The movie was good. The theater was nice, not exactly what expected. These bitches sat next to me that would not shut up, I thought it was ironic that before the movie they were complaining about people brought children and how it ruins the movie experience for them. I should have said "didn't notice the kid during the movie, but I wish you would learn how to shut the fuck up." After the movie made a few phone calls and made my way back to the Rock. Wandered around and then got in line for my tour. The elevator took us up to the 67 floor. It was a great ride. You can see through the ceiling of the elevator while you go up and there is a light show of sorts as you go up. Once I was up there took a bunch of photos. A rather enjoyable little tour. Came home around 10. All in all a very successful day.
