Blarg Over

Chickalicious.jpgAsslessPanties.jpg

I love the lower east side. It's full of much trendier (although slightly poorer) people than the upper east side. It has better bars. It has cheaper restaurants. It has more colorful stores. Unfortunately for us, this store was sold out of Chickalicious. Luckily, Glenalicious still has plenty in stock (or so I'm told). And who knew assless panties were back in style? Perhaps these are just leftover from Valentine's Day.

My t-shirt selection for the Blarg Hop garnered a fair bit of interest. I love my Boo-urns shirt. Apparently a little too much, since at least 6 people who were at Nowhere when I arrived reminded me that I was wearing the same shirt when I met them. One Michael Francis Hartney II even thought to inquire if I owned other shirts since he's ONLY seen me in this one. Yet, upon my insistence that I would retire Boo-urns from my NYC rotation for 1 year, everyone admitted they liked it. I also heard, "You can wear it again, as long as you blog about this."

I'm told I was dancing at one point. Allegedly with Curly and Helen. What can I say? At least we weren't at a wedding, and I wasn't dancing with the bride's mom. Except, y'know - that's happened. More than once or twice. There was a DC blogger in attendance that I hadn't met before. I re-met Eric (he, likes sheep) for about the 8th time. I guess now he can recount the "I met you when you were wearing that shirt" story. As can these guys. Of course, it's always fun hanging with George, Joe, Velliety-Tom, Paul, Damian, Farmboyz (NSFW), Glenn, Ed, Mark and Tim, and even Foxy. I know there are a few guys I met out that I can't remember your URLs... leave 'em in the comments if you find me first.

Now, back to regularly scheduled life, which includes homework! I'm too old for this shit.

Blarg Hop Recap

PhoenixBlargHop.jpgSaturday night I attended something called a "Blarg Hop" - a blogger bar hop from gay bar to gay bar on the lower east side. I remember the whole night, despite a bevy of beers and even a few shots along the way. I had a great time meeting a bunch of new friends and hanging with my buds. Three of the bars we visited were new to me, and I had a blast!

Yeah, I forgot a lot of names. I screwed up the ones I could remember. Alert me and I'll make amends. Now, on to what everyone really wants:

MY PHOTOGRAPHIC PROOF!

Before I implement my diabolical scheme, let me explain it to you and give you time to escape. You see, my giant centromere of doom will soon roll throughout space, destroying planets with it's enormous microtubule protrusions.

MUAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!

I bought a new toy

NeilBitesGlasses.jpgMe: I bought a new toy today!
Neil: What did you buy?
Me: A TV!
Neil: A transvestite? Or a television?
Me: What the hell would I do with a thousand dollar transvestite?
Neil: ...
Neil: I don't know your life.

This seems unnecessary

It's cold enough in NY for the dog pee to freeze in puddles on the sidewalk instead of running downhill. Apparently it's also too cold to pick up dog poo, as I'm having to avoid a lot more of it than usual. I guess this Poop-Freeze product I saw on sale today on Dealmac(?) is more of a summer necessity.

Also, did you know that the normal core temperature for dogs is 101°F? Now I know why New Yorkers keep dogs around - to keep them warm in the winter.

Super Bowl Chili Chop-fest

SuperBowlChili2007.jpgWent to George's to hang and eat chili and watch the big game on Sunday after a very low-key weekend at home. Everything was going well until, while washing a 7-inch Santoku knife I hacked into my index finger very deeply. There was blood. I think I swore a time or two (I know, shocking). Damian accompanied me to the drugstore to get a splint and first aid supplies, which I managed to leave at George's last night.. D'oh! My real doctor friends say I'll live and all is well. I do hope that pesky numbness goes away though.

In other news, the icy winter weather has settled into NYC. It sucks to walk 15 blocks in 8 degree weather! All the Con-Ed stacks were working today as well, making steam and electricity. Wish some of it got to my apartment.

Ear Candy

This song makes me want to go out and shake my booty.

Baby, seasons change but people don't And I always be waiting in the back of the room I'm boring but overcompensate with Headlines and flash flash flash photography

But don't pretend you ever forgot about me
Don't pretend you ever forgot about me

Wouldn't you rather be a widow than a divorcee?
Style your way through fashion magazines
Widow or a divorcee?
Don't pretend
Don't pretend

We don't fight fair
We don't fight fair

At first I thought the lyrics were "weirdo or a divorcee", but this makes a little more sense.

Transit Museum
