Weekend
Monday, March 31, 2008 11:16 p.m.
Friday--floated through the day and got work done. Had a meeting and happy hour. Crazy/cute intern at our sister imprint was there...whoah. Cute but...the crazy quotient is waaay up there. Not much else. Left after a drink because I wasn't feeling so great. Went home to watch Enchanted (loved it) and worked on writing.
Saturday--Wrote all day and watched trippy movie called "The Nines"...if you like "Donnie Darko"...you'd like this. Not too bad, but not great. Also "30 Days of Night"...it was ok.
Sunday: Finished the chapter! WOOOOO! Still so tired and I have a bunch of other stuff to do. Went to dinner with family and Oph's new inlaws...cool. TIRED!
Monday: Work...and then went to NBC to drop off manuscript for Tom Brokaw...whoah. And then came home a bit early. Got hair cut...came home and actually worked out for the first time in MONTHS! I will pay for that little 30 minute session tomorrow. Oh boy. Went home for dinner. Made my mom watch some Kenny Vs. Spenny...she was cracking up! And HIMYM was awesome tonight.
My life has been tv and writing as of late. Meh.
It's official...
Thursday, March 27, 2008 11:04 p.m.
... Asian people can dance.
Jabbawockeez! Just flat-out awesome. I will now practice my dance moves. :P
What a frakkin' week. Just flat out tired from work and more work. Not much to say because it's all a blur. The deal memo I was working on back and forth...well, it was approved and sent out. We are good to go.
Meeting with lingerie store...ack. Some misunderstandings, but I think it's all settled now. Hope we can move forward. I really need to follow-up with my other potentials and just start nailing things down. Oy.
Comics...just lots and lots...and I bought the entire series of X-Files...when I am going to get to it? I have no idea. I need to make a chart and organize.
Need to book trip soon...and also have to just finish these freelance things. I hope to be done this weekend...but then I have to work on books I volunteered for...and oh...taxes and working out...have to factor those in too.
Man, no social life...and no dates. It's all work.
Sad news...my friend's mom passed away from cancer...I didn't even know she was sick...my friend had a baby not too long ago...and we lost touch these past few months...but I feel terrible. I got a card and was thinking about sending some money also...sad.
Anyways, work...meeting and office happy hour. I'm getting A drink...A...and coming home to pass out...but still have to get in a few entries. Urrrgh.
TGIF...I'm still feeling grateful.
Easter and monday
Monday, March 24, 2008 10:58 p.m.
Sunday: Got up on time, but ended up heading out a bit late. Still made it to church and it was great to hear Tim Keller speak. How Mary Magdalene was the first person that Jesus appeared to...how she was mentally derranged and a woman...and yet...she gets to deliver the most important message of all. Amazing how God would do something that no human would think of. That's how you write a story. THE story.
Minor grocery shopping...so sleepy, but did some work and went to Japanese buffet with family. Justin may have given me a cold...ugh.
Monday--so tired and dealt with crisis after crisis...just a lot of stuff today. Just not in the mood...but I beared down and plowed through it. Came home and did some more writing...more than expected...but I still have a long way to go. I'm not going to have any social calls this week. It's all about slogging through. Maybe in April...but for now...going to rush headlong to get this stuff done. ARRRRGH!
HIMYM: One of the best episodes. I knew Britney was on (so cute) but did not know Sarah Chalke would be also! Dr. Reed is a dermatologist! And the 2 minute date...dang that was something. Very cute. I have to admit.
Girlicious: YES...Natalie, Nichole, and Chrystina are still on...bye bye Jenna...sorry.
GREEK...loving how silly and doofy it is...but it's a great show. I admit it. I'm hooked.
More craziness at work tomorrow. Gaaaah. Some really tense stuff...but it needs to get done. It's going to be a tough week. Lord, help me through it...
Tuesday, here I come.
Good Friday...ok Saturday
Sunday, March 23, 2008 12:40 a.m.
Friday: Busy day with contracts sent and then my meeting post-poned until next week which was good because that would have been awkward going to church after spending the afternoon surrounded by unmentionables!
Lunch...weird. I was defending a co-worker (I did not think what she emailed was necessarily snotty)...but then MT told me to shut up?!?! WTF!??! I got pretty mad...and I didn't speak to her after that...I think I may be done with that. I'm just going to avoid her for a bit. She's no fun anymore. Just complaining about work and "not playing nice"...I am so done. I don't need this person spouting poison and being negative and thinking she is right all the time. Speaking badly of people constantly. It's just not proper to do that. So avoid. But forgive...but I still think I am in the right.
Went to the DMV after work to get my license renewed...and wow...it took like 30 minutes. Josh was still at work and he wanted to kill some time...so we had like 2 beers and caught up...oh man...I was pretty tipsy from that (plus stress of the day...just got to me.)
Bad idea... I went to Filene's and got a cool Ben Sherman bag...still pretty pricey...but I thought it was cool. Even got some DVDs from local store...Then went to church.
Very cool to be at the new spot this year...and man, it was great to sing some hymns. And I know I've said this before...but nothing beats the poetry from back then. Modern Christian music just seems so trite in comparison...the poetry...wow.
My favorite hymn:
1. O sacred Head, now wounded,
with grief and shame weighed down,
now scornfully surrounded
with thorns, thine only crown:
how pale thou art with anguish,
with sore abuse and scorn!
How does that visage languish
which once was bright as morn!
2. What thou, my Lord, has suffered
was all for sinners' gain;
mine, mine was the transgression,
but thine the deadly pain.
Lo, here I fall, my Savior!
'Tis I deserve thy place;
look on me with thy favor,
vouchsafe to me thy grace.
3. What language shall I borrow
to thank thee, dearest friend,
for this thy dying sorrow,
thy pity without end?
O make me thine forever;
and should I fainting be,
Lord, let me never, never
outlive my love for thee.
That one line "what language shall I borrow"...just amazing. How it expresses how it is impossible to give thanks...how can you even say it and not make it seem...so insignificant in comparison. (WOW...seriously, modern CCM music...just does not hold a candle.)
One thing that one of the pastors said was pretty good. When Jesus died on the Cross and was separated from God--that's like a kid lost in a department store...just wailing for the lost parent. And how we are when we are so far away and lost.
Anyways, a lot for me to be thankful for...and a lot to ask forgiveness for. Pray for me and I will do the same. I'm trying my best.
Saturday: Wrote all day and watched tv...got a lot done actually. Should get to sleep early so I can make the early service tomorrow.
Watching GREEK--cute show! I really like it. Very teen, but mature. I can't believe it's on ABC Family though...yipes.
Man, I need to go on a diet and soon.
Pretty much it so far. Church tomorrow, more writing, and sleeeeeep. I am pretty stressed...but things are still good.
lying in the gutters...
Thursday, March 20, 2008 11:53 p.m.
Ugh...work...bad news left and right and some minor good news. A lot of hard work and effort. I should be writing tonight...but I was just too dang tired.
Met up with Vicks in the rain and we had Japanese...I love the food there...but everytime I have eaten there I have stomach problems! Seriously! Maybe they put too much MSG in their food or something...
Anyways, Webster Hall and the opening band was boring...but Gutter Twins were awesome. Dulli was in fine form--and he is still one of my heroes...Lanegan was so weird...great voice and range...but he just stood there and grabbed the mic stand for dear life! Reminds me a bit of Jim Morrison for some reason...but Leonard Cohen and Tom Waits mostly...and man, back in the day...Screaming Trees and "I Nearly Lost You" was one of my fave songs...and it was on the soundtrack to singles...
Anyways, they played the whole album I think...and "Each to Each" was my fave song...that song is soooo amazing. Moody, awesome beat, great crescendoes, and soooo hooky. Love it!
And then they came out for the encore...and Dulli was just the pimp. He's awesome...and they played "I'm Ready", "Papillon", and "King Only"...no Whigs tunes...but hey...Twilight songs are just as good.
I was explaining to Vicks why I love Dulli so much. His stuff is just cinematic. The mood of the music, the lyrics, the themes--like film noir/gangster/exploitation films. There's sex, drugs, violence, faith, betrayal--murder, cheating, stealing, getting the girl, tossing the girl (romance also), there's car-driving songs, party songs, gettin' it on songs--dark, seedy, cocky and kick-ass.
Lyrics to "fat city (slight return)"
I musta been near, unclear
Its dark as hell and hot in here
But I'm ready for the stroll-
So release me so I can find-
The couple comes over, I fear-
That they'll lead me to the garden
Where anything I want iz close
Everything I wanted most
Nathan runs a little river-
Cathy gets high-
Joey got arrested when he messed up
Round about sixteen times-
Why you take from a giver?
Why you gotta get high?
Why you watch a carwreck,
Muthafucker?
Cuz it looks fun to die.
The ship it listed- and things got twisted
Bow down and get yourself lifted-
Party at the mansion, y'all
Party on the day before the fall
You all- Better Listen
Don't question my volition-
The hard way, the eazy way,
The only way-
The lonely way-
Save yourself, you little sinner
Path it up right
Take the road less traveled
Make sure you keep that shit all tight
Weird thing was...I didn't go with Eunice! Past few times...always went to see Dulli with Eunice. Sad...how things change. Sniff.
Got home late...and couldn't fall asleep until 3...got in at 10 and just worked worked and then met up with CH for lunch...wow...she's a mom X2 now(well, in 6 more month)...and she seems sad...but not as stressed as I thought. And yeah...she's not the warmest person on the outside...but she loves her kid...and she actually gave me a hug. SHOCK. But it was good seeing her again.
TV...LOST...the month wait will be excruciating...but BSG will fill in! Man, this season has been so awesome.
And America's Best Dance Crew...oh, Kaba Modern...so sad...Yuri is still supercute though.
BUT YEEEEEAH...JABBAWOCKEEZ! Seriously proud of my Asian brothers showing the world that us yellow folk have some rhythm...dangstraight!
Anyhooo...good Good Friday tomorrow. I'm so thankful.
Weird day tomorrow. Contract stuff in the morning--hope this just gets done already. Then meeting with sex/lingerie store...then maybe DMV trip and then church...long day...oy. And I MUST write all day Saturday and Sunday after church...oh, boy.
Rest! Sweet rest!
I am addicted...
Wednesday, March 19, 2008 12:02 a.m.
Sweet shazbot. How am I going to stop looking at this dang thing. That blinking red light! Most likely it's work related...but being able to be connected all the time and not worrying about email...oh wow.
Work...meeting with UK that went very well. Several leads and lots of trying to catch up. Lots to follow up on.
Went to Blue Smoke with SH, and met up with AD and BB. Very cool. Had too many beers and a decent burger. Not the best. But it was fun.
Pretty much it. Tired. Have BSG Season 3 dvds and extras to watch...wooo!
Almost all day meeting tomorrow. Yeeesh. BUT...Gutter Twins tomorrow night. ROCK !
I am crack-berryed.
Tuesday, March 18, 2008 12:31 a.m.
OMG...I am addicted. After a harrowing day of calling FedEx and finally going to JFK FedEx main building to pick up my missed parcel...I have one. I have a Blackberry and I am addicted to it. There is no higher level of douchebaggery than checking that dang thing every 5 minutes. That blinking light! GAH!
Anyways, it is a necessary evil. With me being paranoid about missing emails and not being in touch with my boss, clients, the UK office, etc...I had to get one. Anyways, it's going to be like second nature any day. But for now...my new (business) toy. Yup, I'm available 24/7 now.
Anyways, work went by in a blur of activity. A few things look like they are not going to happen...and a few do. Looks like I am going to the sex/lingerie store on Good Friday...oh, my.
Lots of emails back and forth with UK and other folks today. It was just madness.
Anyhoo...home...writing, TV, BBing.
Oh...Jamie...the cutest, most Girlicious, hottest cross between Carmen Electra and Nelly Furtado...this singing group was not meant for you!
AND HIMYM is back! YES! It always slumps a little...and then it picks up. I still love this show...and Cobie Smulders...you are my dream girl (next to KristenB and KariB--the two KBs! Gah...I just noticed that. I'm an idiot.)
And no...I didn't have any booze today. Too bogged down with work to do that...man, fun seems like work nowadays too. So weird.
Dinner with some old co-workers from the new company tomorrow...and Gutter Twins on Weds.!!! DULLI! wooo!
Work...WORK!
Sunday, March 16, 2008 09:56 p.m.
Friday: Work. That's pretty much it. Got some ties, dvds, and shower curtain stuff.
Saturday: Work...in terms of writing and more writing. Watched 3:10 to Yuma which was great....and cleared my DVR of Sarah Connor eps. which were awesome. More writing.
Sunday: Ditto more of the same and went out to exchange shower curtain rod. I know, exciting.
TV yadda yadda. Comics. Yay.
Busy week ahead...as always. Yipes.
um...no.
Friday, March 14, 2008 12:00 a.m.
Morning meeting at the NY Times Center...very entertaining stuff! Weird rapping animal mascot...and Geraldo Rivera got hired to tape some stuff for us? So strange.
Got comics and lunch with JZ...came back and heard that one of our big leads fell through...but then another lead says they are interested. Balance, I suppose.
Went to steakhouse with CAG...it was totally fine...but she is so hot and cold. One step forward and two steps back...but it just seems like there is not enough to go on for me to risk anything. We are friends and that is totally fine. We had a good time, good food, and she would not let me pay...even though she gave me like 25 dollars less than if we were to split the bill! Totally fine...she is still supercute and quirky. I do adore her...but it's not for me.
KHD...yeah...she is supercute...but that "wall of past hurt" is solid. I know she needs a friend and we are cool to hang out. Eh...not my time for love anyways.
Work has me manic. So much to do at the day job. And I have two writing assignments and travel coming up.
DC for sure now, London, and San Diego in the coming months. I am sure there will be more too. All cool. Work is still raging hot....now I just need an awesome girl to find me and share in our mutual awesome-ness.
Oh, mentioning that Bono book I am reading. Wow. I am impressed. pretty deep...and spiritually encouraging. I haven't been to church in a long time and I really needed that. A lot of really solid stuff in his words. Amazing. Amen.
Who is gonna go see Gutter Twins with me on Wednesday!??!? Vicks might...but not for sure. We'll see...any takers?
Kaba Modern and Jabbawockees...that's the showdown I am waiting for!
LOST--well, sad. No spoilers from me...but yeah.
Ok kids...TGIF! Working this weekend!
gig and work
Thursday, March 13, 2008 12:02 a.m.
Tuesday: Oh, man...do I even remember anything? The day went by in a blur. Did go to this French bistro for a mediocre nicoise (spelling?) salad...and a ton of work that was just nuts. I hate this contract crap!!!
Gig: Went to set up and soundcheck...the comedians were ok...really cute girl who had a super blue act...like a Korean Sarah Silverman...anyways...the other music guy played a Tonic song! I bet I was the only person that knew it...but that was very cool.
My set was meh. My electronics got all weird on me and the volume was all off. I even screwed up a line in "reverie"...goodness..."reverie" !!! I've played that a million times! totally threw me off...and the lights were particularly blinding..ugh...not the best. I should stick to the 80s medley when I play there.
Eunice and Paul came--very cool! Glad to see them there. We should have dinner soon...and KHD brought a coworker and a friend that just moved here. Man, she is so cute. Walked her to 14th street and we had a nice little chat. CEO got me Knicks/Bobcats tickets for April...taking her with because she wanted to see a ballgame.
Wednesday: Our intern overslept because he had midterms and missed out on setting up for a meeting! ARRRGH! I had to rush out and do crap work...but it got done...Late for my sales meeting...but I got to announce a few cool things...so that was great.
Some awesome response from prospective clients...several leads look like they are panning out! I have been on such a hot streak for the past month or so...great stuff...but I am crazy tired.
Dinner with CAG tomorrow. We are still on. At this point...I just want a steak and some good company. I may just let that be that. (Right, Glo?)
Anyways, I caved and bought a Blackberry. It's coming in the mail. My boss said that if I got one from the company (which I might have if he really pushed) would have stirred up some crap, since a lot of people higher-up got rejected...so I had to get it myself. No worries because he will make it up to me...namely...I'M GOING TO SAN DIEGO COMIC CON!!!! WOOOOOO!!!! I will play and work...and just have an awesome time there. Cannot wait. WOW!!!
New Top Chef--too early to tell...but no hot girls this season! No Casey! Sucks.
ANTM: Aimee, Katyzyaanaaah (whatever her name is), Claire, are my top picks...but Lauren can look surprisingly good sometimes...but her forced weirdness and awkwardness is just annoying (I'm punk rock and wacko...whatever.) reminds me of Martha Plimpton a bit...
Oh...and we get $1000 bonus because our company did so well in 2007. SWEET! Big meeting tomorrow at 10...which means I get to sleep in late.
And I got an advance copy of one of our books about a MAJOR movie opening this summer. SPOILER ALERT! Wow...lots of stuff in there that I have not seen or heard elsewhere. Keeping quiet on this one...
Good days...tired...need sleep. Gonna pass out to some Indy flick.
the best dog...
Monday, March 10, 2008 09:02 p.m.
Oh, Mufru...I can't believe he is gone. Oph and Jen went to Texas for her brother's wedding and left Mufru with a couple....and then he had a heart attack. I can't believe it. I watched Mufru for a week a while ago and got so attached. Everytime I've seen him since, I scooped him up and kissed him. Little, white, snuggly! He was so adorable and smart...and such a good dog. I am in shock. I will miss him. I can't even imagine how Jen and Oph feel...and you know me and little dogs...I just can't believe it.
Monday: Before I found this out I was having a good day. Meeting with company first thing in the morning and it went well. Cleared out some emails and some catalog duties and also some phone calls that went better than expected. Had lunch with special sales girls and had a good time.
CAG came over and was adorable. She pulls on her face and makes all these weird expressions like she is a little kid. And I was like "Wow...that's attractive." and she was like..."well, that's why my mom says I will never meet anyone" ...and then she said how she "swore off the opposite sex"...self-deprecation. I don't want to read too much into it...but is that a tactic? Ugh...I don't want to be an idiot with this...so I just want to clear the air when we go out on Thursday...and just get this over with. If it doesn't go anywhere...then I'll at least know and I can nip this in the bud before I get in too deep. I'm not too invested as of yet...but if she keeps stopping by everyday and acts all cute and quirky...I'm not sure how I can recover.
As for KHD--she is definitely coming tomorrow night to the gig...and she may bring some co-workers. We'll see...they should come as many of them are Asian...
Anyways, home...work, writing, rehearsing...Beowulf extras...dang, that was an awesome movie! Not for kids for sure!
Well, work and gig tomorrow. Life goes on...goodbye Mufru. I'll miss you, puppy.
oh, boy.
Saturday, March 8, 2008 06:59 p.m.
Friday: Work was crazy hectic with contract nuttiness taking most of my time. Also one of our clients wanted to add another 3 books to the line...total of 6 books and 90K in the bank? WHOOO!
Took XiaoXi to lunch and her bfriend called all upset that she was going to Northwestern? Weird.
More emails back and forth and a possible deal with our sister/parent? company...whoah...
CAG came to my office and we talked awhile...so...we are going to dinner next week. Just the two of us. Yes. She agrees. And she got a little shy and quiet and changed the subject. Weird thing is...she wants to go to Boston with me? What is up with that? But I think she knows what is going on...and then she asked what I was doing over the weekend...and I said going to see Juno...that's all...and other stuff. She was headed to Union Square to meet her friends...so I told her I would see her Monday.
So...I finished off some work and left. Got on the L and came upstairs at a weird entrance I never been to...and CAG is coming out of a little stationery store in the station...and offers me a piece of gum. What timing. Was that a sign???
Speaking of which...my friend in Australia sent me a postcard, and my other friend...I sent him a bunch of Aussie books because he was going...and then...I went to meet KHD...who was soooo cute. Wow.
Went for a drink and we chatted a bit...it was kinda cramped and loud but the conversation was very good and it was semi-flirty...not much...but still.
Juno lived up to the hype and we both loved it. She didn't even want to pull the arm rest down between us...but I did!
Dinner at Spice and it was great. Very open and fun...and we both have been through a lot. Very flirty for a bit...but I diverted the conversation. I don't know what to think...and then she slipped and fell on the way to the bathroom because they were mopping. I offered to rub her bum! And she laughed...and she brought it up again as if it was hilarious ....and a threat! hahahah! She said something about me going to her place to drink wine next week...hmmm...and she'll come see me play Tuesday. Strange...
In any case...we had a great time and she texted me right away...very cute. I can definitely see us being really close friends...anything more might be too much..and quite frankly...I'm kind of terrified ....or maybe it's excited...for anything to happen at the moment.
Work is just so so hectic lately and I am constantly thinking about it. If this other stuff happens...I might just explode...and I'm not sure where all my energy will go. I'm just glad to be alive and doing well. Busy and tired, yes...but man, I am loving this ride.
Saturday: Slept until 1 since I got home late and was up until almost 4...was up at 8 really...but went back to sleep. Rehearsed, worked on some writing, going home for dinner with the folks and XiaoXi.
Oh...Alex's scene that he did last month was with Mickey Rourke! And it's for Darren Aronofsky's new movie! WHOAH!!!!
More later.
Asians can dance.
Thursday, March 6, 2008 11:51 p.m.
What a day...great meeting with potential client. One of them was SO PRETTY...and SO MARRIED! hahahah! But could really be good to get some kind of project going. In terms of things that look very likely/definite...this one is like number 15. I can't believe things are going so well!
Loads of stuff to take care of in the office and tons of emails. Contract stuff is driving me bonkers!
Spoke to one of my HS friends who is in charge of a comic book company. AWESOME to speak to her and also to their ad person...we may be able to work on something with them. VERY COOL!
Awesome...I'm being paid to write a chapter in one of our books. SWEET! Add it to my resume...published writer in magazines, books, journals, textbooks, music...I am TEH AWESOME! PWNED! (I'm a loser.)
Family friend came back today...taking her out for lunch tomorrow when she comes to the office. She's very...punchy. Went to Joe Shanghai in Flushing with the family...very good...but the Chinatown on was better.
America's Best Dance Crew: I am so proud of my Asian brothers and sisters that are proving the stereotype wrong! DANG! Jabbawockees and Kaba Modern really are amazing. And Yuri is supercute.
FRIDAY! Seeing Juno with KHD tomorrow...eep. Writing and rehearsing this weekend...
top picks
Wednesday, March 5, 2008 11:01 p.m.
Oh man...another one of those run and gun days. Meeting, phone calls, etc...crazy.
Had lunch with my friend J. Man, he's getting to be such a downer and too intense. He's just got to cut the drama and get with his girl! Why all the torture and self-flagellation? I don't get it, bro. I love you, man...suck it up and just compromise.
CAG spent like 45 mins. in my office and was just super cute. She has a tattoo that she says I will never see...damn. I just really like her weird energy and her quirkiness...but I can't imagine her walls coming down. Urrgh. Seems like a dead end...but man, she's pretty hard to resist at the moment. Could turn out to be a friend...but any more? I have no clue.
LK seems to be really good to me and I will return the favor anyday. Seems like she can keep confidence...sigh. Let's hope that's true.
KHD...a lot of emails exchanged at the end of the day...and all really cute. She can be flirty...but does she realize it? Well, movie on Friday...wait and see.
Got comics and dvds and came home. Stamps are such a pain to get...where am I gonna get stamps near the office???
Girlicious: My faves--Jamie, Natalie, Chrystina, Nichole...obviously choosing the hottest! Jamie looks a lot like Nelly Furtado, right?
ANTM: Oh, noooo...my fave is gone! Poor "mini-Sarah Silverman-Allison"!!! But man...those makeovers really worked on some of those girls. Aimee looks hot! Lauren too...even though she is like Martha Plimpton weird and sorta uglypretty...but come on...looks like Clair is going to win. DUH. And Fatima is hot...but she is a bitch. Yeah, I said it! (I am so gay. I don't care.)
Anyways, lunch meeting with potential client tomorrow...hope it goes well. Pretty much it...and man, I need to rest.
wings and thangs...
Tuesday, March 4, 2008 11:50 p.m.
Goodness. Work was nuts today with samples, contracts, deal memos, phone calls, and emails galore. I'm finding that I really have very little free time in the day anymore...
Lunch with SH was cool. Going to have dinner with her and some other girls from work (and ex-coworkers) in a few weeks.
CAG stopped in like 4 times today. Super cute...but very weird. I told her I made reservations for us for dinner next week...and she was cool with it. Hmmmm. Not sure what the heck is going on...but I'm hopeful...but it could just be friends...who knows what the heck she is thinking. CAG fits...since she was watching BSG marathon with her friends tonight...I think she hates it though.
Went to get drinks and wings and things at Bravest with Doris, Glo, and Elaine...and yes...they took turns berating me and making fun of me...as expected. I HOPE they do it out of love and I'm not really as pathetic as I seem to be. I'm emo. I admit it! I'm not a typical guy for sure...and I'm not a typical girl...sheesh! I am a dude! Give me some credit!
Old school friend from old job...back in town and preggers again. Will have lunch next week.
Fun times...tired...and full of fried food. Oy...lots of work coming up. wooo.
monday is no funday
Monday, March 3, 2008 11:08 p.m.
Man, non-stop today. Things were just flying. CAG was still supercute. Intern did a good job...and the weather was awesome. Talked to LK about my predicament at work...and then also with KHD...who rescheduled to see movie with me Friday. wooo.
Did not work out today...but the drycleaner messed up my order and I carried home some other dudes shirts...so I carried like 25 shirts home...dang.
Psyched for gig next week. I like it that it's short notice so I don't drive myself nuts trying to rehearse.
Crazy attempted rapes near my work neighborhood. Scary!
Pretty much all today... crazy work and fun this month. Going to bar with the girls tomorrow...who will no doubt berate and yell at me.
Marching in...
Sunday, March 2, 2008 11:22 p.m.
Friday: Spent the morning working from home. Then off to Javits where I worked the floor and hung out with some of the folks from the company that were exhibiting. Their new intern is very cute, but might be somewhat nutty. In any case, lots of solid leads including one with a RR tie in, a travel catalog, and a major means of travel. Lots to follow-up on...for sure.
Went to MOMA to meet friend of family from Taiwan named XiaoXi (I guess that's the closest)...anyways, got coffee and waited for my dad...then we went to Forest Hills for very mediocre Italian food. I went home and wrote my article and got some sleep after watching too much tv. JL:New Frontier was decent...pretty great in parts.
Saturday: Went over in the afternoon and my folks and XX went to Woodbury Commons. I bought 2 pairs of shoes, and 8 shirts, a blazer, 3 polos from BR...and then a whole cologne set thing from Kenneth Cole. XX bought some Coach stuff and that was pretty much it. Exhausting! Went to KGS in Flushing for food and went home to crash. KHD called and said she had to cancel on movie because she had got a job on the weekends at a bar. Sad...but hopefully we will meet up some other time...oh, well. Whatevers.
Sunday: Laundry and tv, cleaning out my closest some more. Never got around to working out...but I was sore from shopping! Got a last minute gig in about a week or so...and rehearsed a little. Went over to my aunt's and saw Fatty! I missed him! He nipped me when I gave him a piece of meat...but otherwise he was so very fat and cute. Hung out with family some...and the kids...pretty much it.
America's Next Dance Crew is awesome. Yuri from Kaba Modern is supercute!
Busy weeks coming up in March...whooo boy. Lots to get under way. Man, this year is flying by fast!
