June 2002

Thank you, Mr. Nixon

I left the camera at work so today is another shot from the archive. This is an old photo of when I met the president.

Last night, with the help of Erik and Kate, I was able to hang my book shelves and put up the books, adding more precious space to the apartment. I think we are close to being ready for a couch. To celebrate, Erik, Kate, Lauren, and I had a pint in the rec room (formerly known as the Edge). After dealing a bit of sage advice to us, Erik commented, "I am like Confucius...except with a beer and a cigarette," gesturing with those items.

Susan's B-day

To celebrate Susan's b-day, we went to the Roxy in the meat packing district. On Wednesdays, it's roller-disco night. Here's the Diva herself showing off her skates.

Checks and Nostalgia

I removed the photo. The personal information was all blurred out, but still a creepy number of people do image searches for checks. Well, freaks, I'm tracking your IP addresses.

While throwing out some old papers last night, I stumbled upon these two checks. The first is a rent check from when I was in grad school in Pittsburgh. That $180 got me a room in a house, with a yard, washer and dryer, in a great neighborhood. The second check is for a Pentium 233. That $1389 got me a computer that I swear to God is propping open my bedroom door right now.

Voila! Your dishes are away.

A big shout to Colleen and Lauren

Here's a big shout to Colleen and Lauren who emptied all my kitchen boxes, washed every dish, and then put them away. We regained another 10 or 15 square feet of floor space. Ladies, you rock.

Germans and the World Cup

Great night last night seeing the Coastal Drag at Niagra. Bad morning seeing the Germans beat USA. I didn't have my camera to document any of it. I am very, very sleepy.

Packing Sucks

Moving is about the biggest pain in the ass in the entire world. You keep filling boxes, but there is an endless supply of shit. I through away 3 massive garbage bags of crap and I still have more stuff than I can deal with. Jerry got to spend two exciting days in New York packing. Poor guy. I did buy him a "Pound of Fajita" which is the one thing I'm going to miss from the Upper East Side.

Sushi Jer

Sushi Jer

My brother Jerry was in town last night. We ordered enough sushi that it was served on "The Bridge." What is it about sushi that it never gives you that disgusting full feeling, no matter how much you eat?

Painting the New Place

Since I was up early, I thought I'd have a productive day and I painted my apartment. I hired these fashion models off the street to accentuate the shot. This wall is "shimmering sea" blue.

World Cup Fever

I have no pictures to document this, but I caught World Cup fever Saturday. Friday night I stayed at my new place in a sleeping bag on the floor.

poker

Poker? I hardly know her!

Erik, me, Keith, Tyler, and Mary at The Poker. I ended up $5 down, mostly due to a stupid bluff during a game of Anaconda and some wicked bad luck on the last round of Screw Your Neighbor. After posting this, I have received 3 emails complimenting Mary on her blue toenails.

My New Apt

Here's a shot of the new place before the decorating. I added myself for perspective. If you are free Saturday and you feel like painting or cleaning, there is beer and pizza in it for you.
