fallen quite behind here, but that’s what happens when you have old friends in town… you’re too busy living it up to sit around a damn laptop computer. so i’ve been out eating and drinking for most of the last week and it was delicious and fun and expensive, but hey, that’s life. plus we went to some fun bars and strolled melrose and i got beat by the slimmest possible margin at pictionary over which i am still bitter. and in the end, i was late dropping them off for their train and i still have one of their camera cases here on my desk. all the marks of a great trip though, right guys? hopefully they had fun while they were here like i did hosting them.

so the roscoe’s chicken and waffles and the dresden and all those vintage stores kept me away from my precious collapsing, so now what? well, i am not in new york like i thought i might be. slightly sad, if the trip itinerary hadn’t been compressed into red-eye monday, errands tuesday followed by another red-eye. at least this way i can feel like i only got slighted out of a pain in the ass, which is fine, instead of a chance to meet up with friends and see a new city. there will be time for that later.

let’s see, what else… how about a new party-loving pay day song to celebrate my return here and commemorate this week’s party being over? or, instead, to get looking forward to next week’s party. i mean, have you heard this lcd soundsystem cd? it’s so alive you can’t help but move. find me the man who can keep a steady chin while listening to tribulations, and i’ll pay for the coffin he must sleep in.

that is, i would if i didn’t have to spend two bills on getting cavities filled this morning. damn you, delicious soda and four years of dental negligence.
