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.
@irishflyesq: And THIS is what makes him seem so unattractive, IMO. I'd even take him 30, bald and fat if he were smart, funny and didn't shave his nether-regions.
@Zanzibar Buck-Buck McFate: Yea, right? WTF is wrong with that woman? Even if it's true, you don't say that kind of thing in public about your daughter! Especially not if you want a relationship with them EVER.
Also, Mommy Dearest conveniently neglected to mention that she (Candy) was boning some other guy under her husband's nose, as he slowly wasted away. Nice, eh?

I hope that seemingly wonderful couple works things out.
I usually could care less about celebrities, but they seem nice.

But I,--that am not shap'd for sportive tricks,
Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass;
I, that am rudely stamp'd, and want love's majesty
To strut before a wanton ambling nymph;
I, that am curtail'd of this fair proportion,
Cheated of feature by dissembling nature,
Deform'd, unfinish'd, sent before my time
Into this breathing world scarce half made up,
And that so lamely and unfashionable
That dogs bark at me as I halt by them;--
Why, I, in this weak piping time of peace,
Have no delight to pass away the time,
Unless to spy my shadow in the sun,
And descant on mine own deformity:
And therefore,--since I cannot prove a lover,
To entertain these fair well-spoken days,--
I am determined to prove a villain,
And hate the idle pleasures of these days.

And phlox are phlox are phlox
Sometimes I walk on tippy toes
For blocks and blocks and blocks.
