Alice Tully Hall is NOT across the street from the Metropolitan Opera House. That would be Avery Fisher Hall. ATH is about a block and a half away and half the size, so Mischa was extra-confused.
@FormerEnglishMajor: P.S. Avery Fisher Hall is actually at a right angle to the Metropolitan Opera House, and both facilities are in the "center" of Lincoln Center's pedestrian area and face Josie Robertson Plaza. Alice Tully Hall is truly just across the street--West 65th Street, specifically--from the opera house, though the low-lying Beaumont and Newhouse Theaters nestle on the Met's north side. (I'm not sure how you would calculate a block-and-a-half's distance between the opera house and Tully, unless you started from the Met's northwest corner).
Mischa may have had other problems recently, but her land navigation skills are okay in this case.

@The Lone Scout: I cannot even address the joke...! But Alice Tully is pretty far from the Met Opera. You have to walk that whole plaza to get to the Opera entrance. You either go all the way down to the front and walk the whole plaza, or go down 65th and up the stairs, etc. - it's not close. She just saw a crowd and hopped out of the cab, pretty much.
@FormerEnglishMajor: I've worked there and, granted, there's more than a stone's throw from Tully to the Met. But the post does state that Mischa "booked it across the street" from Tully, so conceivably she dashed across 65th and the plaza in time for curtain up at the Met (thanks to modern chemistry?).
@The Lone Scout: eh, probably had a box so maybe she didn't see the chandeliers rise. Though that probably would have looked good through the drugged haze.
Compact fluorescent lightbulbs are the bane of every female over the age of 19's existence. In the boudoir, give me a GE Soft White (in the closet, door partially closed) or one of those solar eclipse boxes with the pin prick to let in light. Otherwise, you might as well line my bed with satin curtains and give it brass handles.
Seth, every post is a step towards that final post when we will be left to wander the internet for 40 weeks in search of any blogger that could fill your place. We're gonna need a huge retrospective for Friday, I'm talking Grazerhead/Shaved Koala/Dourdaning. I'll be sobbing at my desk, but not for the usual reasons.
Here's the thing about pro wrestling "news" sites: Unless they're The Observer, The Torch, or The Insider, they're run by teenage boys who make stuff up like they write for Life & Style. According to the REPUTABLE websites, Prinze left on amicable terms because of the demanding schedule and was even being considered for a promotion before telling Stephanie McMahon he was leaving.
I don't mind so much. I feel like its expanding my horizons. The the one teensy complaint I have though, is that once get here I feel like I'm trapped in Ikea, with no direct exit back to Gawker in sight.
@leonleonleon: Couldn't agree more with your first sentiment. We don't like you anymore than you like us, and we'd just as soon have our well-written left-coast snark free from irrelevant Annie Liebovitz condo battles. Don't worry, though. You will soon have a Defamer-free Defamer, full of nothing but the Gawk. Cheers, and thanks for kicking our guys in their last week.
@leonleonleon: Sounds like someone is in desperate need of a Jean Herscholt Humanitarian Piledrive. You know not what you slander. Until Friday this is still Seth's domain, and I'll be damned if you trash talk such wordsmithery on our turf. Them's cuttin' words. If you don't like the posts, don't read them. Lord knows the Defamer faithful are none too pleased to be folded into Gawker's sweaty armpit.
Wresting has writers? Wait, are you telling me those guys don't have real beef with each other? That it's all orchestrated for entertainment? That my childhood fantasy has been crushed?

I haven't been sure ever since Andy Kaufman bodyslammed me into a world of doubt.
