The first time in a long time

I just want, for the record, to say that it is 9pm on Sunday night and I am fully coherent. This may be the first time since you guys went to macro-ne-szhey-a--or wherever the fuck you are, that I haven't been blacked out/passed out at this time on a sunday. It feels kind of good. And hey, the Family Guy is still funny--I hardly realized that it was still on the air!

Wicked Ultimate

I know we've used the word "ultimate" before, but we now amend that--because we've never been to Ben's house before. But tonight was Ben's housewarming party; and I don't need to tell y'all that it was the ULTIMATE saturday night. me and shan and chris narbus are all here hanging out at the house watching usual suspects and talking about how good kevin spacey is in that movie i mean can you believe that he is kaiser soze the whole time? i mean there is no barbershop quartet in skoke illinois!!!!!!! what a f'ing master!!!!!!



i love you and miss you so much it hurts.

This is "Amy." She was hanging off of a taxi driver's rear view mirror in Abuja.

Isn't traveling great, Brian and Sarah? It's really all about discovering foreign lands and customs.

free sparks=one crazy night

hey guys, i'm sure you can picture the scene in my house right now as if i were in your own living room. its 930 am, we had a wild night last night and im up and everyone else is asleep. i wanted to use the advantage of my insomnia to allow me to be the first one to tell you guys about last night....

so during the day yesterday i saw a flier on lorrimer street (had to walk there for the subway because of construction on that goddamn L train, will it ever end?) advertising that supreme trading was giving out free sparks between 10 and 11 that very night. immediately my mind was whisked away to grander days when the sparks was freeflowing and when nick tore the cover of the ciggarette machine. i knew we couldnt pass this up. flash forward several hours to when we were rushing to get to supreme trading (what a shitty name for a bar) at exactly 10 so that we could take full advantage of the freeflowing sparks. when we got there at around 10:05 we were shocked to discover that it was practically empty and almost noone there was drinking the distinctly colored beverage that turns mice into men. we bellied up to the bar a bit timidly and were given each our very own free sparks. we were rolling hella deep, had hella homies. we slammed those ones and practically ran to the bar to get our seconds, the insatiable desire for more growing with every agonizing step. back up at the bar the bitchy bartender informed us, not without a little glee, that they were out of sparks. it was 1020 and there was noone in that godforsaken hipster haven and they were out. talk about a buzzkill. we quickly recovered from that damaging blow and raged on. apparently some hipster girls behind us were trying to start a fight with katey but that is to be expected. when they dj started spinning some miami bass and katey started doing what she was born to do, they backed off. kiva and i were obviously fucking with all of the hipster boys in the bar which was certainly cruel but always entertaining.
the climax of the evening came when gabriel and i got into an icethrowing spat, it was run of the mill, just a few pieces back and forth at each other and so on. one peice of ice that i intended for gabriel landed on some chick. the young woman responded very graciously by throwing her entire drink on kody. kody in turn threw a drink on the girl and the next thing i knew it was about 5 am two ni***rs were being hauled off in an ambulance and one one ni***r had taken his shirt off talking about who else want to fuck with hollywood cole. what really happened is that the girl's very big boyfriend came over and started yelling "who threw a drink on my girl?" i missed this part but apparently he then went over to the bar waited in line, bought a drink, and then threw the whole thing on kody (splashing most of our crew). you would think that this would appease him since he totally humiliated us by throwing that drink but he was still pissed off and talking shit about wanting to fight kody. in the chaos that ensued, kayla elbowed the guy, kody went on dancing as if holifield had just won the fight, and i went outside and called a car so that we could get kody out of there asap.
we went back to kody and JJ's house and woke JJ up yelling about how funny the night was. i ate a burrito out of their garbage and katey and kayla tried to convince us that we could have taken the guy. bullshit. (imagine i said that while covering it up with a cough)
had you two been there, i think we could have taken him.
i miss you guys. pourhouse today....

??? fuck up ???

dear brian and sarah,
last sunday at the pourhouse i ran into one of the guys who moved into our apartment... the one with the well-groomed moustache. he said that a couple of weeks after the moved into the apartment, the cooking gas was turned off. they looked into it and found that the gas had not been paid since 2003... in other words, since we moved in. i guess we didn't ever get it put in our names. funny????????
love, jessica

Pepsi Bleu



Concerning packing, one will notice the presence of a Father Christmas "cool" of rather bad taste, near to infamous Poochie to Simpson, board of snowboard and sunglasses included!

--from a Google-translated French webpage about Pepsi Blue

Damn, I miss Pepsi Blue.

Another monday morning, still no lasagna

I woke up at 2:30am, and quickly realized that I apparently passed out last night in my winter coat, along with the rest of my outfit. Dear Ben, you sweet evil bitch. My second realization was that all I ate yesterday was:
  • 2 pieces wheat toast
  • Coffee
  • 1 bowl of cottage cheese with tomatoes and bell peppers
  • an undetermined number of fake doritos
  • about 10 vodka-based drinks
If I keep up this diet, I am going to get so skinny. Lindsay Lohan--eat your heart out!

THE BOSS

Last night I went to the opening night galla for the nyc guitar festival. It was at the wintergarden (http://360vr.com/wintergarden/) in the financial district. Well anyway is was all songs of Bruce Springsteen form his Nebraska Project album preformed by different musicians, some familar names but no one to important. It was a lovely evening, I spilled a grande latte and starred at palm trees and the dark sky above. Well I thought the show was over and the all of a sudden, all the musicans came out on stage for a All-star jam session and out of the croud comes the Boss. Straight from Jersey, and may a say he really knows how hold a guitar. I might download some Boss today. --Kody
