Happy Birthday to my boopy!
For his birthday, I took him to Bond St and had some amazing food, especially their sushi. The drinks were fabulous.
And what's a birthday without some danger and excitement? For that, I ordered the infamous... fugu! That's the poisonous pufferfish. Yes, poisonous!
It makes your tongue tingle as you eat it. Yum!
Wow. Did I just spend the past weekend going to two all-you-can-drink(-if-you-can-get-their-damn-attention) brunches?
Yes. Yes I did.
And I learned a few things, too: (1) My friends love to drink. (2) Some are abusive drunks. (3) The others are just whores.
Or something like that. I won't tell you where I fit in.
How do you know when you've had too many Dr. Pepper shots?
What about when
Yea, those seem like pretty good hints.
Wow, it's been a hectic holiday season so far! Parties here, shopping there, and running into two exes at a party thrown by someone I dated. Sounds like a bad soap opera, doesn't it? Yea, that's what my coworker said too.
With all that's happened, I figure the best way to tell it all is to, well, not tell it at all. I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves. And no, you won't find any pictures of said 'triple ex' party. Read more [+/-]
There was Crash's birthday. [more]
Then Famous Author Rob Byrnes' birthday. [more]
Then a volunteer recognition event. [more and even more]
Then the company holiday party. Oh lord. [more]
I can't believe I spent nearly 6 hours editing and retouching all those photos. The price of beauty!
If you're done with the visual stimulation, check out this spoof on A Christmas Carol [via wired]! It'll help you get over the fact that this year, Annie (starring Kathy Lee) is playing at the Madison Square Garden's theater instead.
Obviously not me. And especially not when I've had a few drinks.
That's me during the Feast of Fools meet up at Vlada last Thursday when someone wondered if I could put my foot behind my head. It turns out I can't. More pictures here.
Needless to say, it was a great night; and if you haven't had the pleasure, definitely give their podcast a chance (especially the one where they call me a 'super fan'!).
Can you imagine what I'd do at the Gay Erotic Expo this weekend?!
I have to admit that I'm always skeptical when someone on the online world wants to meet me in the real world. You could never be sure of who they are, no matter what's on their blog. That could be the side effect of being raised in New York City.
So when Will said he'd want to meet me, I was naturally skeptical - at least it wasn't as SWF as having someone with the same name asking to meet up (like some unnamed friend). I needed a plan. In public. And possibly some witnesses. Since he was a blogger, I planned a meet up with some other bloggers (and a blog-stalker).
I instantly recognized him inside the Milford and we headed to the Ritz to meet up with the rest of the party, which was already in progress. Luckily, he turned out to be a pretty cool guy; and I didn't have to open a can of cardio-kickbox on his ass.
Lots of fun was had, along with the alcohol. Unfortunately, I have nothing scandalous to report. Other than the flashing.
Speaking of which, I hear Feast of Fools is having another New York Meet-n-Greet this Thursday! I'm so there!
After seeing their eye-catching posters, reading about it in Business Week, and finally landing on their informative webpage, I ordered myself one of those Norelco Bodygroom shavers from Amazon and tried it out... Read more [+/-]
Sorry, no pictures this time; but the Bodygroom is pretty good. Comfortable grip, easy to use, and no snags at all - even on those more tender areas. All that's left is smooth skin. And yes, everyone has some hair down there.
Now to do deal with those ingrown hairs...
And speaking about being excited, I was doubly excited that I got to go to Rob Byrnes' book party for his new book, When the Stars Come Out at Vlada! I was even lucky enough to get him away from his adoring fans and grab this candid shot!
How awesome is that?! (I'll let you know how awesome his book is.)
My goodness, it was a crazy weekend. Unfortunately it didn't involve any snakes on any planes. Instead, there were crazy kids in chocolate factories. Read more [+/-]
I went with Kvn to see Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory as a part of RiverFlicks on the Hudson (later joined by tribecat and friend). I forgot how dark the movie was. I kept thinking how the opening scene of the movie, where they sing "Candyman" while the Candyman throws candy at the rabid children, was promoting candy like it was a drug. "It's like they're on crack," I remember saying; and thinking how I wouldn't want anything to do with those kids after they're done with their candy binging. But I digress.
Anyway, the 'dark part' I was referring to was Gene Wilder's depiction of Willy Wonka and how he doesn't really care for the spoiled brats. When he's screaming is pretty scary too.
And I finally realized that's where that "We have so much time, and so little to do! Strike that, reverse it." reference came from when Gene guest-starred on Will & Grace! Awesome!
Later that night, I went to the new StarBar, a 'cozier' version of the debunked Starlight. Pretty crowded and a few cuties. Then it was off to the new Boys' Room location for a bit of dancing. It was a good night, except for the part where the L train stops working, forcing me to take a cab home.
Saturday morning run was bad due to the lack of sleep and water; but I made it all up by going to a rooftop party and then celebrating my friend E's birthday at Fat Black Pussycat.
With the people she invited, it was an all out college reunion. Was that a good or bad thing? I plead the fifth. But what I will say is that there were plenty of ass grabs, thigh grabs, and even a lesbian booby grab. Damn, why do people get so grabby when they're around me?
I cut that night short, for Sunday was a double dose of Fringe Festival plays. There was definitely much left to be desired. That's all I have to say about that.
By Monday, I was totally wiped out and had to take a sick day. Of course, I took that as an opportunity to bake chocolate chip cookies. They were delicious.
