Went to bed at 4:00 a.m. after chatting with the beyond-cool-to-rule Vixen, only to wake up at 8:40 a.m.! Damn my hot body! See, I can't sleep, no matter how tired I am if it's light out. So I get up, putz around and make myself some healthy pancakes (and yeah, they do exist). After eating a ton of flapjacks I then decided to...

ah, nothing like copious amounts of beer to loosen the gears.
went out last night with a friend of mine to Matchless -- which, luckily is a 2 block stumbling distance from my house. Had two killer games of pool, the barkeep gave me a buyback at 11:30 p.m. and I actually chatted up a cute girl. Whoa, I'm all social now!

Well, after a slew of good dates when I first moved here (and fucked up on quickly) I have had a very...very dry run.

Alright alright. Yes its the spring season of love. But winter was so long that its taking me a while to get into the swing of the new season.
Or maybe im turning into a bitter cynical woman. Pretty soon, i'll start to get lots of cats and live in seclusion.

Well all Fuckin' right! Just checked in at the Beta Lounge and their doing a live set from Hamburg -- nothing like listening to live DJ's spin 1/2 way around the world. There's also a new Turnvader set up, so treat your ears to some aural sex: Beta Lounge

Thanks for all the suggestions -- I'd feel really bad if you typed that out and didn't cut and paste all that from somewhere.
Edit to say ...
I don't know why but I just never got into Apocalypse 91. I thought all but two songs just didn't have the sense of urgency they captured so well on It Takes A Nation of Millions... and Fear of a Black Planet.
Either way Public Enemy was a great band! I'll still back Chuck D (but I'm not too sure about Flavor anymore).

Everyone should have Apocalypse 91: The Enemy Strikes Black. My friends laugh at me when I play it in the car, because I know the lyrics to every track.
Anyway, yeah, I know broken bones are part of the territory. I keep telling girls who don't have insurance that they need to hook that shit up. Next time it could be them.
The exhibition is going to be us competing against ourselves. We'll break up into 2 teams and compete for probably one period, which is about 30 minutes. We'll have bands there, too, and some other stuff in the works as well. Oh yes, it's on.

Had to return the new kicks today -- rubbed my feet the wrong way. Nuts! Time to hit the skate shops and stickw with my old standards...

They say there are three things every New Yorker is always looking for:
1. New apartment.
2. New relationship.
3. New job.

When the weather turns warm I become "energized" and feel like I'm perpetually hepped up on speed -- which hasn't been the case for many years.
I got to the gym at 9:00 a.m. and proceeded to run 7 miles, lift weights for 2 - 2 1/2 then bike about 12 miles. Yeesh! No clue...

I got there pretty late -- like 11 or so. I ended up staying until there were like four people left at two in teh morning (one of them was the bartender) and he was playing Dead Kennedy and Fugazi cds.
Shepard Fairy is a cool guy. I actually have a framed stencil that he used. You still see the paint residue on it.

It's a wonder that I don't weigh 20000 lbs with the quantity of pastries and especially chocolate that I shovel into my gaping maw.
Before coming out here I was near completion of opening my own pastry / chocolate shop called "Dessert". The concept was pretty simple -- serve dessert! People could come in and get something after their meal...

I say you should do it! I thought about opening up a bakery here at one point after a stint of freelancing with a friend, but reconsidered after gaining 15 pounds and realizing I have a sugar intolerance. Heh.
Don't worry, I'll be back with more roller derby exploits...I've just been really grumpy lately and I don't want to be a whiny bastard.
