Serra Serra

Finally saw the Serra exhibit at MoMA tonight.

AB was late, I almost left to go home.
I don't like it when people are late/don't RSVP/don't call.
When I say "don't like" it's actually more like "fucking hate".

Mets at the Movies

My bro and I had tickets to watch the Mets play the Phillies on the big screen inside the Ziegfield.

Was this the beginning of the end?

Check Out

I had fun at this, my first singles event ever. I actually ran into a couple of people I knew and made a new friend at the fair trade table.

Some others didn't seem to have such a good time.

Loreley & Ceci Cela

All I ever do is wander around and eat and drink and drink and eat.

But sometimes I am content. And sometimes it's only content.

Bon Voyage Dana

DK was leaving NOLA in a few days and it was my last chance to see her.
We met and settled in at Caffe Roma on Mulberry. It used to be run by a member of the Genovese family who disappeared in the '70s, but I digress. We shared egg creams and cookies while she detailed the crazy events of the past month and her decision to make a somewhat permanent move to the still recovering city at the mouth of the Mississippi. I'll miss her, but maybe that means a trip thru MSY is in the offing.

Zabb

It's all part of my Tour de Queens.
Right next to UFC stands Zabb.
See what happened!

UFC UFC UFC

That would be Unidentified Flying Chicken.

Why isn't it Frying?

It was tasty, though not as tasty as Bon Chon's.
Then again we were all pretty drunk at Bon Chon, and UFC still doesn't have a liquor license.

MJ @ Mina's

Same MJ, new venue.
I really need to get these girls on the gambling tip.
It's just no fun otherwise.

I did see this bit o' fun downtown earlier in the day.

Superbad

Stopped into Momofuku II with JK before we went to a showing of Superbad, my favorite movie of the year. My most favorite end credits ever!

Blast From The Past

Another person from the past reentered my life today.
We'll see how this pans out...

Origami @ AMNH

Another early morning/afternoon of teaching origami to the kids.

There were a couple of Arsenal fans in the museum that day!

Photos of the Hearst Tower, New York's first Gold LEED certified building.

Guac-Off

DB & JS hosted their 2nd? annual Guac-Off. It was very fun and tasty.
I need to realize that no one ever expects you to show up on time.

(Halfie) Potluck

A most fun summary of the night.

I love black & white cookies.

Some photos from Bryant Park.

With Dad.
We ate an insane amount of food.

Top Chef Ketchup

Spent my Ides of August catching up on my backlog of Top Chef episodes.
Padma is terrifically boring, and why oh why does she speak so slowly?
I can't fast forward fast enough!

Round Up The Usual Suspects

Saw Casablanca in Bryant Park with RV and LL. There were lost balloons and tasty sandwiches galore. Made some new friends (Hannah, Albierobrob) in my attempt to acquire some precious space on the grass.

AMND Redux

You can't keep runnin' away from love
'Cause the first one let you down
And though others try to satisfy you, baby
With me true love can still be found


Went back to the Delacorte to see A Midsummer Night's Dream from a better vantage point.

Trance Trance

I've been listening to trance music all night...specifically remixes of Gouryella...

(lyrics to Ligaya)
This is the first day of my life
For once I'm sure
That this is where I long to be
No need to know
If there is something more than this
No need to go
Cause there is nothing more than this
My future is so clear
Cause everything's right here
Inside of me
Inside of me

Red Sox Futures

We were supposed to visit Fenway for the first time this weekend, but the overcast day and our somewhat brutal overnight schedule led to the cancellation of our Boston travel plans.

We enlisted Jason for another walk to Sripraphai and enjoyed some Thai along with our baseball.

Marco & Wine

Another visit to my favorite place in Chinatown, Marco Polo.

Post work visit to Vintage NY Wine Bar.

A Midsummer Night's Dream (Flooding edition)

So the MTA is completely unprepared for any sort of deluge.
What's gonna happen when a hurricane finally hits NYC?

It afforded me a chance to catch the first night of AMND.
My streak is still alive!

More Poker

We hosted again. It had been a while. It's still fun.

The sky from LIC right before everyone came over.
