They were filming three different episodes so there were nine couples in total. Here's us after we got separated with the other two couples we'd be appearing on an episode with!
On Tuesday night I watched the premiere of the Louis CK's new show on FX. It included a bunch of bits we'd seen him perform at the taping we attended back in February.
...and I tried my hardest to make her love Peep Show as much as I love Peep Show. But not even the closet scene where Mark accidentally jizzes in his drawers ("I'm a statue. A dirty, filthy statue") managed to bring her around!
This guy is about to get slain - but I took this photo because the framing made him look like he was watching a stripper holding a stripper-pole up on a stage.
By the time I landed, got to my hotel and checked in, I felt like I was coming down with a nasty cold. I ordered a room service pizza and plate of fries (only vegetarian items on the menu)...
We wandered the massive Hong Kong terminal for a few hours, then it was time for the third and final leg of our trip: a four-hour flight from Hong Kong to Denpasar, Bali!
Many hours later, I decided to check out the movies and ended up watching The Proposal which much to my surprise (and the surprise of the poor people who were sleeping around me) actually made me cackle out loud several times. Not even married for 24 hours and already enjoying Ro-Cos. Tragic.
We weren't sure if we were going to see him or not, but after we got off the plane, we heard my name being called over the public address. First time I'd ever been summoned to a white courtesy telephone! Haha.
Later that night, Mer went out and I stayed home and I spent the rest of the evening in marvelous rapture playing WORLD OF GOO on the Wii. It had just come out and I was obsessed with it. Such a fun game.
I remember that when this happened, it seemed totally outrageous. Somehow, only two years later, this seems almost quaint. Still, pretty sweet tat' if you ask me. Who doesn't look at a giant butterfly and not want to grab it by the wings and have sex with it?
On Monday night I went over Leigh's to hang out. We ended up watching a crazy public-access show on Manhattan's glorious MNN that featured a crazy man, wearing a mask, standing in a hallway smoking a cigar and ranting.
On Wednesday evening I went to the Stuyvesant Town offices to drop off our rent check and it's the same office that houses the crazy Orwellian Stuyvesant security offices where there are three guys monitoring hundreds of remote-controllable security cameras that are mounted EVERYWHERE.
