its great how the a/c vents in my office blow right at me! *shiver* im a bit ache-y right now…spent all of sunday moving into my new apartment. yay! fish came in with his minivan to help me move. we spent about an hour carrying all my stuff down 2 flights of narrow stairs…oochies. it was much less painful once we got to the new apartment since fonz was already there to help us move the stuff in, and oh yea, they have nice elevators too. whew. after we dropped off my stuff, we had to go pick up my mattress that i was getting second-hand. i was interested in only the mattress…but the girl was like, “u sure u dont want the box spring?” im like, yea. “u sure?” positive. must’ve been some kind of alien concept to her. eh. afterwards we headed to st. marks to grab food….which is kinda hard in the afternoon since all my fav eateries in st. marks are din places. so we went to sharaku. this time wasnt as bad as the last time i went to sharaku. go and yokochos still have my thumbs up, but the spicy tuna rolls at sharaku were pretty massive.

oh yea…and my new room is like tetris…everything fits like a puzzle…wow. everything fits tho! woo!

whew…furniture shopping is tiring. since im moving to my new apartment this weekend (woo!) i fig’d i needed to pick up some essentials. namely…a new couch, a bed, and some other stuff that ill wait to get later. first and foremost is the bed and couch. i looked thru craigs list for the mattresses since no, im not worried about “over-use” and “stains” (u sick ppl). i contacted this coo girl about her mattress…b/c she was advertising it for $120 with a featherbed. im all over that. i made an appt to take a look at 8:30…so i head off to sofa shop with fonz before then. i had decided that id be the one to lay down money for a sofa…fonz would prolly cover the other living room accoutrements. we look thru some places north of union sq…not bad, but none that got my attention. we then headed down to soho and ended up at crate+barrel. they have nice furniture! a bit on the yuppy side…but whatever, i actually found a sofa id be willing to lay down a considerable amount of money for. ill prolly head back today to place an order. afterwards i headed up to murray hill to check out the mattress. she let me bounce on her bed a bit (must be odd having strangers jus stroll in and hop up and down on their bed…tho itll technically soon be my bed) anyhoo…the mattress was coo…the geese down featherbed was ridiculous! once i lay on my extra comforter too (as another feather layer), ill prolly jus go into a coma.

a nice and quiet sunday, and it looks ass outside! well…not total ass. mebbe one ass cheek. its not raining (yet) but the reports say that itll start raining again around 3. damn. ah well. i did something uncharacteristic yesterday…i went out and bought a book. egad, you say…a book? yes…apparently ive been sucked into the pop culture juggernaut that is harry potter. i picked up the order of the phoenix and started pouring thru its some 900 pages. quite good actually.

a bunch of us also headed to the gr29 party last nite…we hit it in waves. me and pho hit it up around 11:30, followed by alice and terrence, followed by marisol and paulie. pho, alice, and terrence eventually bailed out and headed to roxy’s…me, marisol, and paulie stayed behind. as i was waiting in line for the bathroom, alexis (who id been emailing since the last gr party…tho we’d never met) found me and introduced herself…which was a pleasant surprise. we said hi, and jus as my turn came up, i dashed into the bathroom. not too tactful, but it was one of those emergencies (so if ur reading this, i apologize). i tracked her down later and we talked some more (as much as one can under the loud circumstances). she even got me a gr28 poster….huzzah! we stuck around a while longer, and then headed out around 2. overall, id say this gr party was a vast improvement over the last one…since i didnt bust up my frames and wander around blind this time around. yay!

i think this shite weathers making me sleepy. ive had trouble getting up in the morning this whole week. i didnt even kno what day it was when i woke up yesterday. super. so we had our lil mini-luv boat reunion+1 (min brought her friend tomoko) last nite. after some deliberation, we decided to yum on sushi at go. again. i kno…pretty creative. starting today im gonna start looking for alternatives. no really…i swear. afterwards, min flaked out and had to head back to jersey…so me and elaine jus chilled at angels share. afterwards we headed back to my apt where we whipped out my old luv boat yearbook and started to track down all the ppl we thought were cute. its like high school all over again…rockin’! anyhoo…hopefully she’ll get a job offer and move her ass up to nyc.

i think im finally getting legs of steel. its all nice and shit…too bad the rest of me’s still out of shape. *shrug* i did a lap around the loop again today. it wasnt the nicest day out, but at least the chilly wind kept me from sweating all over myself. blech. my ride was getting a little sluggish…i thought it was me. then i noticed two things…my front shocks were super-springy (no good) and that my front tire was getting deflated. er. fyi, i carry no pumps with me. damn. ill prolly start bringing my shock and tire pumps from now on.

anyhoo, im meeting up with my friend elaine tomorrow. woo! shes in town for some interviews since she jus finished up grad school in virginia. havent seen her in over a year. if we’re lucky, our other friend min will come out of hibernation and meet us too. its like a mini-luv boat reunion! yea…thats right, luv boat crew…rockin’! and to think, its been five years and i still keep in touch with…two…three…carry the one….five luv boaters. woo.
