Sundays are depressing. No matter how much activity you squeeze into a weekend, it will always end.

It’s been a good weekend so far, though. On Friday night I went to a birthday party for my friend Bert, whose play Dog Sees God is reopening in an Off-Broadway production soon. I got to see his and his boyfriend’s swanky Williamsburg apartment, and at one point, all the party guests played this game called “Celebrity,” which I’ll have to explain sometime. (It’s basically a combination of “The $25,000 Pyramid” and charades.)

Yesterday, the eight days of rain finally ended in our fair city and I saw something completely alien: a blue sky. I didn’t know it came in blue! It was a beautiful sight, and Matt and I celebrated by seeing a movie indoors. Matt was interested in seeing this new film, Where the Truth Lies, based on a novel by theater composer Rupert Holmes. It was so-so, but entertaining enough.

After the movies – which we saw at the Clearview Chelsea on 23rd Street between 7th and 8th – we walked over to 6th Avenue (crossing paths with Mario Cantone) and took a leisurely stroll back home. The weather was crisp and rainless and the streets were crowded with New Yorkers enjoying the freedom of being outdoors without umbrellas. We stopped into Best Buy and Old Navy (how Manhattan of us). At Old Navy I bought a new jacket, black and lightweight, which is just the type of jacket I’d been meaning to buy for the last couple of years. It’s already my favorite jacket. We also ran into Russ and a friend of his, who had just seen a show.

We didn’t do much last night, and we haven’t done much today, but in the evening we’re going to see See What I Want to See, a new-ish musical by Michael John La Chiusa and starring Marc Kudisch and Idina Menzel. And since it’s at the Public Theater, we can walk there! I love living here.

I’ve learned that a great way to stave off the Sunday blues is to schedule something fun for Sunday night.

So anyway, even if I feel like Matt and I have spent a lot of time sitting around this weekend, I guess we’ve done a good deal of fun stuff, too. The weekend comes and goes in a flash, but it least it’s there in the first place.
