SO...we had a crazy windy storm thing here, a power line was knocked over in my neighborhood and because my house sucks ass and nothing is grounded (and the old surge protector really didn't work at all), my power supply blew. and then it was time to go to New York. but i got a special surge protector and a new power supply so i'm set!! and New York was beyond awesome. i loved it soooo much. i liked it the first time i was there but getting the chance to find my own way around made me appreciate it more, made it seem not so overwhelming (also getting out of one corner of Manhattan helped, too...we did quite a lot of wandering). if i could afford it, i'd move there in a heartbeat.
while i was gone the store went to semi-shit. it's wonderful to know that even though i'm apparently not good enough to manage the place, it can't function without me for FOUR DAYS. do you detect the sarcasm??? i've taken up drinking after work. alone, in my room. by "taken up" i mean i bought a bottle of apple vodka and have gotten buzzed twice in the past week after a particularly shitty night of work. it's been fun.
i need to go see the Borat movie. there are so many movies i want to see coming out - that NEVER happens! maybe i'll be interested in one or two movies a year, but so many all within a couple of months??? Borat, Tenacious D, the Fountain, Let's Go to Prison, For Your Consideration....i KNOW i'm forgetting one. the new Will Ferrell movie doesn't look terrible, either. who would have thunk it - an original idea for a movie. i still need to see Talladega Nights, though. and the Strangers With Candy movie comes out on dvd on Tuesday!!!
i have my Wii pre-ordered, do you?

glad to hear you are back in internet-land, although NYC sounds like way more fun. i haven't been there in years. i've been there twice and both times i felt like a country bumpkin with a target painted on my back. my friend drove us out there one time, we had a friend who lived in Soho. After getting the car towed in Philly, someone decided to slash 3 of his tires while parked outside of said friend's apt. we had to take 2 tires on the subway into Brooklyn, where we find a garage run by Hassidic Jews. While we're waiting, this guy with no teeth is attempting to talk to us. Couldn't understand a word he said, we just smile and nod. The highlight was getting to see Fred Frith at the Knitting Factory, and having to ask Willem Dafoe to move because his party were in out seats.
i have some friends in Brooklyn, so i'm hoping to visit them soon. hopefully i won't feel so lost this time!
i hope getting buzzed after work doesn't turn into a habit for you, but i really can't talk, i'm cracking a beer open soon!
did you guys get those Tenacious D promo masks? i'm going to post pics of them soon, if i ever decide to update
