elly & yoko moved in

Yesterday, elly & yoko moved in fully. They may only be here for a week or so, but I'm loving both of their presences. It's so great to get cuddles and give cuddles (to either of them!!!)

Yesterday I went out to Coney Island to see the Mermaid Parade. I got there too late for the parade, but there were many people in fun costumes, and otherwise silly attire. A friend randomly called me while I was on the subway heading out there: "Are you in Coney Island? You're the only person I called!!" I drank the Champagne of bottled beers with them, and wandered the boardwalk, sat on benches, and just generally enjoyed the weather.

Later, elly & I wandered into Prospect Park for a Celebrate Brooklyn concert. It was perfect evening weather, and we just stood, and sat, listening to the likes of Cat Power covering Neil Young. Good stuff. Then we went to try out a new spot to eat in Park Slope. It's called "East / West" and they're a veg+fish place, which I sure did like. Outside patio, and funny wanna-be-rockstar-table-neighbors.

Then more sleep. Sleep rules.

Update: went out to support

Update: went out to support Brooklyn's finest, bought the album at the Trump Tower (records) with Tamara. The artwork is hang-on-wall quality: does anyone know other works by Matteo Pericoli? His line work rocks my world.

I am amazed at how sensitive I am to the weather; what should be a phenomenal friday has turned into a grouchy, mopey day. Heck, I even left work early and got an express train home! I can't help but notice the overcast sky, pregnant with thunder & rain and connect it to my mood.

Mermaid parade tomorrow, and no end of Pride festivities, i'd reckon.

New Yorker Now

So, I've tried to disavow myself of all New York affiliation in styles like <snooty voice>"I'm NOT a New Yorker"</snooty voice> throughout my two year adventure here, and while my time may be drawing nigh, the sentiment has stayed strong.

Until my boy Nathan turned me on to the new Beastie Boys record. The song "Open Letter to New York" gave me goosebumps. I've listened to it over and over again, and it still gives me goosebumps. All the references, all the sentiment, it so completely encompasses that which is New York to me.

"Brooklyn / Bronx / Queens & Staten / from the Battery to top of Manhattan
Asian, Middle Eastern, and Latin, Black, White
New York: You make it happen!"

It's a love letter to the city that I'm in. It's a love letter to the city that I've made my home. Goddamn, I'm a New Yorker for now!

Anyone know a kicking bass system where I can go listen to this song?

Weekend wedding

This weekend elly and I went to a wedding. It was one of my cousins, and it was really quite amazingly beautiful. It was upstate New York (out near Woodstock), so the world was filled with trees and nature and there were nice people (but not the hotel guy).




We posed for pictures, like this. Isn't elly beautiful in that dress??!!!



We walked to the wedding with my old friend Anurima



self portraits are my favorite :)



We stayed at a crazy place called the Alpine Inn, where I was sure that at some point someone would jump out wearing leiderhosen and offer us beer or something similarly insane.



Though that never happened, the rooms were crazy 70s style. Check out the silk curtains around the bed! ps: there is a cute elly hiding in them there blankets!



elly was really cute.



elly picked peonies back there! green!!



Look, there's colour in that there black! It's bright and happy!

I took many more pictures, which you can see in /days, and dad took a bunch too: here.

i hate shopping

and I hate fucking midtown.

Here is what I just did, in order to try and buy a simple blue/black long sleeved button down shirt. It was fucking impossible. Maybe I'm just a picky bitch, but the thing that kills me more is that these are the shops that I had to try :(

H&M: "OONTZ OONTZ" (no)
Mexx: "we had that in winter" (no)
Brooks Brothers: "We're too snooty to have that" (no)
J Crew: "No, but I'm a nice helpful gay man. Would you like to sleep with me?" (no)
Bannana Republic: they almost had it (linnen), but buying BR just maks me quiver sometimes. (maybe)
Saxx: (woman shows me a bright sky blue shirt) "Like this?" (no)
Saxx redux: exactly the right thing D&G: $255. (no)
Thomas Pink: "That is a seasonal shirt. Perhaps you'd like something in pink & bright green?" (no).


AAARRGGh. I hate having to buy clotes for events that I feel forced to go to!!! aaarrrr

---- update 2004/06/17
Benetton: Store not there (no)
Deisel: (no)
Bloomingdales: Close, but (no)
Zara: (no)
Express Men: YES! Who would have thought? It's not quite right, but close enough!
Bannana Republic: "Oh, we don't have that; we're a smaller store", but I did find a good option #2 :) (yes!)

June 11, 2004 10:14 AM

so many things to say

I want to quote Johnny Cash.

I don't want to apologize for anything.

I want to talk about what a fucking cliche my life is, who I've dated, and what I've done, exactly to spec, by-the-book.

I want to talk about my saturn return, and how insanely by-the-fucking-book it is going. (Peak in 2 days, methinks).

I want to talk about love and how much I have to give.

I want to talk about so many things.





June 10, 2004 05:06 PM

phoney ow!

So, grabbing your desk phone in the middle of a conversation and breaking it in two is probably a bad sign for the work environment, or my mental shape, huh?

ps: the scorpio on the other end of the phone just kept talking. Didn't miss a beat.
