Your perfect day
6AM: Crisp, cool air; clear, blue sky; strong coffee w/ cream & hot buttered croissant (w/ Swiss & Ham); a spectacular guest-star scene in the can for 30 Rock; a signed contract for a brilliant Indie film; NOON: a Reuben at Eisenberg's Sandwich Shop and a German beer at The Shake Shack in Madison Square Park; a booked flight to Rio for a co-starring role in a new novela; a nap on my Mies van der Rohe daybed; PM: a play rehearsal for a new off-Broadway play where my director, co-star & I break into tears from laughter and deep emotion; late night après rehearsal escargot (and maybe too much wine) at Chez Josephine's; a taxi ride home up the West Side Highway listening to Dean Martin, Rufus Wainwright & Jay-Z; dancing in my apartment until I fall asleep.... zzzzzzzz
