woo. woo. woooo…i have a new apartment. rock. me and fonz jus signed our lease today for our new apartment in alphabet city. will be hauling all….um, 3 pieces of my furniture over in july. rockin’ open-house party to come…
so after i finished signing, it was only 4:00. so i decided to try biking again today. i grabbed my bike and headed up to bike the central park loop again. i decided to take a detour near the 72nd st marker and headed into the band shell. a little pass the mall, i noticed some camera crews and stuff…so i stopped to take a look…see if i can spot any interesting celebrities. i asked someone what they were shooting…and they replied sex and the city. i took off. bleh. after heading out of central park, i made my way back down to union sq and laid out on the south end to watch the street performers. ah…relaxing….

poo…party continuation didnt go thru last nite b/c of the shite weather. so i went out and picked up 2 dvds id been meaning to get instead….animatrix (ok, so it jus came out) and the ah! my goddess movie (id been meaning to get that for a loooooong time).

today was supposed to be partly cloudy but nice…so i decided to go biking. i headed up to central park and immediately went into the loop. 15 minutes into it, i run into a group of a couple thousand puerto ricans. super. i weave my way thru and try and continue biking…only to hit another big mass’o ricans. awesome. for a third of the loop im travelling at a blazing 1 mile an hour. i say fuck it and cut into the inner path to get back over to the east side. more ricans. great. i cut out on 72nd and it takes me another 30 minutes just to get down to the 58th subway. awesome. anyhoo, after i drop my bike off at my apt, i head down to the jasmart on st. marks to get groceries. i of course drop by kims b4 jasmart and woo….they have little match girl! i grab it and continue on my way to jasmart. 3 dvds in one weekend. oh wait…i also ordered the complete .hack//sign collection. make that 3 dvds and a set. see what happens when i dont go drinking?

so im supposed to be at field day right now rockin’ in a field to radiohead and thievery corp, but im not. it got relocated to giant stadium and all the fun got sucked away. poo. so instead im sitting indoors doting around. this weeks been pretty coo tho. i took halfdays twice and left early a number of times b/c me and fonz were apt hunting. the days i took halfdays also happened to be the nicest days…so that was coo. even got some photographing done here and there in union square of the skateboarders.

i got to leave work early (again) yesterday to help with a banquet for the new york chinese culture center in chinatown. lotsa coo performances, and in an unusual and rare occasion, i actually got to eat food. met up with pho at union square afterwards and we headed to swim for drinks and sushi. marisol, alice, and her god-sister valen arrived later after we’d already waxed off 2 rolls and a round of drinks. yum. we hung out, got more sushi and drinks, and then headed home by 1:30ish. pretty early…but theres more partying tonite, so it was kosher. woo.

feh. didnt see any apts today…jus talked with a broker. he was pretty helpful tho…and the girl next to him (that i guess was supposed to show us apts if they came up) was cute. we have appointments tomorrow and thurs too…woo. i got to leave the office early at least. i fig’d since i was gonna leave a little early anyhoo…and that today was actually the only sunny day all week, that id get some photographing done. at nyu tisch, the dude at the front desk was saying that no photos were allowed, even if my company was working there. so i got the pm to sneak me downstairs to the jobsite where i just snapped away outta his view. woo. i then trotted down to see the greenwich st project, then varick st (nothing new), and then made my way back up to new school. at new school, i had to call the facilities manager to ask for permission to take photos. when she comes down to talk with me, she looks at me, then walks off “looking” for me. im like, “yo…hi, im the guy who called you.” she goes, “really? oh…im sorry. i thought u were a student.” i go, “s’ok….im used to it…” woo.

so on a complete aside, my friend fish just informed me that my dad is his tai-chi instructor. my dads a freaky tai-chi masta thats skilled in the art of slowly hitting you. jk. he’s pretty freaky when it comes to tai-chi. every morning for as long as i can remember…crazy.

massive attack block…woo! i took a halfday friday and met up with my friend fonz and a broker to start scouting apts. i was bleh with the ones we saw…so we regrouped today and decided to scour the newspapers on our own instead of relying on jus brokers. we actually only saw 4 or so apts (most within the same block), but did make appointments for monday and thursday. should be interesting. after fonz left, i doted around my apt figuring out what to do tonite. as luck would have it jess contacted me out of the blue to see what i was up to. we ended up meeting for din at go. we got an ochazuke and a katsu curry to share…along with takoyaki as an appetizer. yum. hit angels share afterwards and jus grabbed a couple drinkies. after the obligatory frozen lychee martinis, i ordered a mojito. it was pretty awful….no real mint, too much ice, and waaay too much rum. feh…shouldve jus stuck with the lychee. anyhoo, im washing away the awful taste now with some calpis. swoo. im heading back to nj sunday to meet up with fish and hit the crawfish festival. booya! have i ever mentioned my luv of all things cajun? yea…woo! im getting a pound of crawfish and im gonna luv it.

oh, and in a bit of self-promo. ive been on again/off again bored doting around the apt, so i did some tweaking to my main site and elysium for shits and giggles. go lookie if u wanna.

ah…memorial day weekend. so far so good. i fig’d that id be working on freelance work for my friend derrick all day today and tomorrow, so i got all my craziness goin’ friday and saturday. went on a drink run friday nite with pho and marisol, hitting up baraza and drinkland. saturday i met up with my friend jane and a friend of hers to watch the phone at the asian film festival. after getting freaked out for 2 hrs (that little girl is a crazy biz-atch), we took a bubble tea pit stop at st. alps b4 heading to angels share for lychee martinis. yum. jane and her friend were pretty poo’d out by then and were gonna head off, so luckily my friend jen called jus in time to invite me to go drinking with her and her friend visiting from cali. after saying goodbye i trotted down to the bowery bar and grill to meet up with them. the place was like some kind of haven for post-frat and sorority ppl, so i suggested that we head over to the zinc bar instead. bossa-nova saturdays…woo. we chilled there for a few drinks, and then finally headed to boxers for some late-nite munchings.

so im looking at my bank account right now and its mysteriously missing over $100. hmm…that really sucks alot. vanishing money….
