Fat Chunks - This one is for memory.
This summer is defined by its weekends no doubt. During the week it is work and shoot me in the mouth if I blog about what I'm doing at work. 4 words. Dicking around with life. Therefore my flip mode engages when I escape those doors and have a break out weekend. This weekend I frolicked around Manhattan, mainly SoHo and Sutton Place. I hung out with one of my long island home girls that I had not seen in a good amount of time and her two cousins. We hit up overpriced vintage stores, Bathing Ape and some other joints. This was my first time really walking around SoHo, and Sutton Place for that matter. As there was an insistence of no rain, we kept happening to be inside when the skies dropped buckets, during lunch. More uptown I hit up Dylan's Candy Bar, FAO Schwartz, and Serendipity for the first time. I had the frozen hot chocolate at Serendipity, as is norm. Goddamn! That's a pretty fuckin' good milk shake. I don't know if it's worth five dollars $8.50, but it's pretty fuckin' good. We were lucky enough to have a cool afternoon and blue skies while waiting to get into Serendipity, of course as we got out it was raining again, and we hid in Dylans while people drown. After going back to SoHo, we lost one of the cousins on the train as he was too eager to get in, and we were left waiting on the platform as he pulled away. We scooped him up at the next station and parted ways at Penn Station. I also helped a blind man find the steps in Penn Station for the amtrak. I couldn't fathom trying to make it around in there without having the ability to see, especially on a Friday in the middle of the afternoon. After that I did a blind trek up to BX to catch my best friends. My phone had died during the day and I kept calling but no answer. So I was risking getting home what probably would have been an hour or so earlier if they weren't home, or chilling and getting into a good time. The Lord was on my side, and they happened to be there. We fell into the abyss of the Olympics Opening ceremony, and god damn it was bananas. Youtube it. Bittorrent. anything. It was fantastic. The lil bullshit screen on your computer isn't going to compare seeing it on a 50 inch flatscreen. There will be an obligatory DVD release of the games surely, and the opening ceremony is worth it. Other than that, are we winning? I have no idea. There was also some scrabble tossed in, and I ended up in third. Vindication will be mine!
Saturday...? What happened. I am typing as I think. Oh yes, I laid low and made the apartment sparkle. Eventually I went to houseparty in crompton and the cops were already there when I arrived. Somehow 10 people in the basement warranted one cop to come and stick his pig nose into the private lives of normal citizens. Anyway, he bounced and the night spiraled away. A beer pong and flip game or so later, I was wearing a Mexican Wrestling mask and telling a girl there how if she wore it during sex it might mess up my rhythm. She didn't seem to think so. There was also much laughter talking with 3 young ladies from Liverpool doing their impressions of Australian's or attempting an American Accent. Of course we butchered the English accent up and down the entire night. It turned silly. Somehow I ended up with a fake mustache on too. Eventually I decided I'll not drive home, but instead sleep in my car. Why bother sleeping inside? Who knows? I don't know. I had work in 11 hours and I had on a fake mustache. I had to find sleep somewhere. And what a better place to wake up than my car so I could just drive right off when I woke up stiff and confused. I don't know how I ended up in the backseat, but I do remember setting my phone alarm. Totally useless with sunrise through Honda windows.
It is only Wednesday now, 40 minutes old. I'm about 2/3rds of the way through the 3rd Harry Potter book. I have not read ANY OF THEM. So i'm going to wrap this wizard up by the end of august. I breezed through the first 2 books last week. I'd like to push through the Dark Tower books too this year, but maybe I'll save those for the slow winter train rides. I'm looking forward to going to Long Island this weekend. Movies to watch. Grass to Burn. Sunsets to see. Ocean waters to drown in.
I'll still toss up my manifesto soon. I want to read it over again. I'd love to see you read the whole thing that remains a mystery! IT IS COMING OH IT IS COMING
