I made out in front of Jimmy Falon
So Friday night, I was at a pub in Murray Hill with the boy to see one of my favorite Irish bands. We were sitting on the same side of a booth at the front of a bar and cuddling and kissing while drinking our Guinness. We were so disgustingly adorable that you could almost hear the waitress say "Aww" every time she came to our table.
There were two guys sitting across from us a few tables away. One had glasses, one had a beard. They'd been there all night, but I hadn't really been paying attention. (I can't imagine why.) About half way through the set, these guys got up to leave. The one in the glasses was hugging the bartender good-bye, and I noticed that he looked like slightly nerdier version of Jimmy Falon with chunky glasses and his hair combed really flat. He looked so much like Jimmy Falon that I mentioned it to the boy, who replied, "I think it is Jimmy Falon." I got a better looked at him as they walked out of the bar, and it was definitely Jimmy Falon. Therefore, Jimmy Falon saw me making out in a bar. This is officially my best New York celebrity story to date. It's going to be hard to top.

The White Sox won the World Series! My dad grew up three blocks from Comiskey Park. My grandpa grew up three blocks from Comiskey Park and used to shimmy up the sides of the old stadium to watch the games. Grandpa didn't live to see the Sox win the World Series, but my 92-year-old great aunt is one of the few Sox fans alive for both wins. Granted she probably doesn't remember too much about the 1917 series because she was like 4. But still. I tried to explain all of this to my roommate Wednesday night so she'd understand why I was getting so stressed out during the game or why I was so happy when they won. But she just didn't seem to grasp the historical signficance. But then again she thought the White Sox played in Wrigley Field, so what can you expect.
*Bridgeport is the South Side neighborhood where Comiskey Park is located, even though the Fox sportscasters almost forgot to mention it while listing neighborhoods on the South Side.
