this weekend was really nice!
wednesday and thursday night tom and steph stayed over, then friday and saturday they had hotel reservations in the city; so, friday i got a ride to staten island with bennett and took the ferry into the city where i met tom and steph in the village and showed them around a bit.
we got tastiness at paul's then got the pre-party going at continental, because you really can't beat 5 shots of anything for $10. the people there can be obnoxious, but the music is usually pretty good and this time they were showing the batman tv show - the episode wherein batman punches a shark in the face (and says "hand me down a can of shark repellent bat spray") - which was really fantastic. after 2 rounds and our fill of batman we went to grassroots where daniel met us. when tom and steph were ready to leave, daniel convinced them to get crème brûlée and bread pudding from the dessert truck, both of which smelled incredible but neither of which is vegan, haha. then he and i went to the west side to meet a bunch of people from my school at a place with cheap pabst.
saturday lindsay and i went to rite aid while kevin got his hair cut. lindsay painted her nails. we went to barnes and noble.
i met up with tom and steph at their hotel but steph was feeling ill so tom and i went out to get some thai food and bring it back to the room. very satisfying.
on the way to meagan's house, i dropped my new sunglasses on the subway tracks, which was both hilarious and sad, but at her house i unbent a wire hanger and on sunday successfully used it to retrieve them! after that i got pommes frites then went to mud for a coffee. it's always really crowded there now, which i don't like, but it is still delicious.
i went to brooklyn to uselessly wander about thrift stores and after getting bored with that went alone to a bar and drank while waiting for daniel to be done with his cousins' birthdays. i ended up only paying for 1 drink which was great. i happened to have somehow befriended the roommates of the dude tending bar and i guess they passed the word on to stop taking my money. i am now in a band with the lot of them called WMD Cock.
with daniel i got coffee in chelsea then dinner in the west village. we also went into a great book shop where i found a beautiful copy of the prophet and failed the owner's 70s-music quiz. daniel drove me home and we had more coffee whilst admiring the mirror on the ceiling of my kitchen.
now here i sit, avoiding sleep
