Untangling some neon orange yarn.
Practice at 7:30PM. Fat Baby after that.
Saturday is the Lazy Susan show.
Free Santogold show the day after.
I let Max cut my hair yesterday.

Reproduction of 'The Last Supper' in the bathroom.
My MetroCard expires today. =/
I prefer this photo of Ben J. and I eating ice cream at the automat, tho:
I'm sweating in all these photos.
I'm no fan of litter.
But if you're going to throw your trash on the street, please let it be your newspaper.
It's not uncommon for me to kneel down and flip through the pages of the daily paper in search of a crossword.
That's what happened this morning on my way to work.
It's like a little tiny present for me.
I haven't finished solving the puzzle yet:
And I have a short attention span today.
Yesterday I was walking home and passed by this empty storefront on Van Brunt Street.
I always look inside cuz there are always random things inside for some reason (and toys and games too). But when I looked inside yesterday, I saw all these chicks (I think) in a swimming pool for kiddies:
I think they're way cute.
But I'm just worried what they're there for.
I saw a box near the window that read "LIVE CHICKS" or something like that... Dunno what that's all about.
P.S.
David B. is in NYC.
Apparently my friend Jessica (of Slow Loris) was struck by lightening.
I'm glad she's still alive!
(Especially since I just sent her a couple shirts in the mail last week.)
Anywho, a bit bummed/stressed today, but it's only temporary.
These things are only temporary.
Yesterday Ben J. and I met up with Crompy and his friend Lisa to go to the Brooklyn Museum because it was the last day of the Takashi Murakami exhibit.
I guess this was my favorite piece because I can't stop looking at it:
Oh, well.
At least I got to get green tea ice cream at the automat after we were done at the museum.
P.S.
Lazy Susan is playing a show next Saturday in Williamsburg. =)

In other news:
Last night David B. left me a voicemail in which he sang that song "Blue Moon".
I really liked it. And I liked his little singing voice. Vibrato and such. It was all nice.
I'm going to try and find a way to record it onto my computer and post it on here.
Hope he doesn't mind!
(He will totally mind.)

This is me by the end of yesterday:
We went to this bar in Williamsburg called Barcade.
You know, bar + arcade.
There were a lot of arcade games, though I expected it to be more more arcade-like, less bar-like.
I kinda wanted it to be really claustrophobic like arcades actually are. I think that would've been pretty awesome.
I had an okay (bad okay, not good okay) time, but I had a really good rest of the day.
I went to SuperMac (this food place that only serves macaroni and cheese and variations of macaroni and cheese---I had chipotle chicken mac and cheese) with Ben J. And then he and I went to this place called Bamn Automat to get green tea ice cream. Soft serve, of course.
This place is kinda strange:
Basically it's a big vending machine. You put in your coins and get your food out.
The shaved ice and ice cream you get from behind the counter.
There's always really bumpin' music playing in there, too. Like techno songs.
(They like to play Madonna remix songs.)
After that I went to Lillian's studio in Greenpoint so that we could have our Lazy Susan reunion session.
I think it went very well.
We even got some photos out of it:
It was good stuff.
Afterwards, Sarah J. met up with us, and we made a quick stop at this bar in Williamsburg that serves you your drinks in Styrofoam cups with a lid and straw so you can walk around outside---tho I don't think that part is spoken out loud.
We went across the street to McCarren Park to meet up with Emily Jo.
And there we sat on the grass and talked and watched fireflies and enjoyed the nice summer evening.

P.S.
I'm really into fireflies.
I just saw one for the first time a couple weeks ago.
That's how I old I am according to my Texas ID.
But today I turned 24.
(That's the cake my sister made for me on my 22nd birthday. Awesome.)
(That's a birthday card/collage Lillian G. made for me on my 22nd birthday. Awesome.)
Here's what I've got in store for the day:
-watch "Clueless" by myself because it's one of my favorite movies
-meet up with Ben J. in Manhattan and have lunch (and shaved ice?)
-go to Brooklyn and have a Lazy Susan reunion session with Lillian G. (I'm very excited! Best birthday gift to myself.)
-Mexican restaurant and a pitcher of margaritas
-go get drunk with my friends
Let's hope it goes this way.
ALSO!
I'm very excited about this:
Venus Magazine has featured me as their Reader of the Week!
Read it.
Okay.
Off to watch "Clueless".
x!

P.S.
Got a new guitar and amp yesterday. Holler.
I don't know why I'm listening to Ladytron right now.
They make me sad.
And they put on a boring show.
Here are some peacock shirts I've been printing:
My favorite is the last one because the ink is neon lime green.
But that photo is my least favorite because the shirt is so hard to photograph.
Gutted.
SELF PORTRAIT THURSDAY!

Astoria Bagels (Bagel?) puts TOO MUCH cream cheese on their bagels.
Just look at this big chunk of cream cheese that fell out of my everything bagel:

P.S.
No work tomorrow.
Sonic Youth tomorrow.
Fourth of July tomorrow.
Bonfire at Lillian G.'s place tomorrow.
Holler.
