that’s me being “busy as a bee”. sorry… they can’t all be winners.
anyway! a lot going on lately. for realz. first of all, miss mariel “short stak mak” (ghost)reiter had a birthday! she and i and este and steve and dan went to a lovely brunch in noho, and then mariel and went over to a free street concert because a friend of hers was “in a band that’s opening for morningwood or something.” oh wait, she was IN morningwood! it was wicked cool. and since mariel’s got the hookup, she got a fun little birthday shout out! followed immediately by the lead singer calling her up on stage to dance for the last couple of songs! it was crazy. then this woman decides she’s going to get everyone to do aerobics in the middle of the show, but she started by having everyone sit down. seriously:
it was pretty awesome. and so was the show!
the next day, i started babysitting my new little friend maddie. we decided to go on one of those awesome waterfalls tours that start at the south st seaport and go all around the east river. and the waterfalls are pretty magical, i must say. check out the info here. give it a sec to load. anyway, we wanted to take the water taxi tour because they have real live tour guides and they go by the statue of liberty, too, but they were sold out so we ended up on the normal cityride (or something) one. it was fine, i mean it got the job done… but it was just some funny pre-recording thing from the artist. and one of the waterfalls wasn’t waterfalling! it was pretty hilarious. it was the last one we saw, so by that point we kind of go the message, but it amused me all the hype surrounding these and then one (the biggest one, for that matter), was broken. anyway, here:
doesn’t it look like one of those inspirational pictures? like it should have a big black border around it with “SELF-INDULGENT: sometimes things need to be bigger and better than everyone else’s” written in big type below it? for the record, i just took about 10 minutes to look for one i could post up here, but they’re all super sarcastic now! there’s even one about mac users with the apple symbol carved into some punk chick’s arm. so do it yourself.
other fun things from this week: i got bumped up to full-time at my job, starting august 18, and este and i are moving tomorrow! fiiiiiinally! ask me if i’m packed. -pause- NOPE. i’m blogging instead! completely necessary.
