A Little of This, A Little of That, and Something About Blue Underwear
I even had pictures of said weekend but like the idiot that I am, I left my camera at home and therefore cannot share them with you.
So. Friday Jess, Wifey and I spent a day at the museum, going to the American Museum of Natural History. We pondered where they got the animals from (then learned that they use molds and put their skins over them. I don’t know which is more disturbing…stuffed real animals, or this…), realized tigers–even while snarling–are so adorable and make you want to pinch their fluffy little cheeks, decided we were going to redesign the ocean life exhibit, played among the dinosaurs and just overall had a good time. We ended our afternoon walking down fifth avenue after going to lunch at a pub where we basically served ourselves. Jess totally deserved a cut of the tips since our waiter stayed behind the counter THE ENTIRE TIME and we had to go to him to get our water refilled, to get our check and to get him to take away our plates.
What happened to good service???
Saturday and Sunday were a blur. I got to meet the hilariously fun Maxie and Cavy for massive amounts of drinks (after drinking Margaritas with P$ and Wifey at the Bone Lick. Personally, I think it should be called Bone Licker) before finding myself roaming the streets with a to-go container full of raspberry beer and stumbling drunkenly into my apartment.
We can all say that was a goooood night.
I then followed up that evening with a pile of grease to cure my hangover from Ellen’s Stardust Cafe, my favorite diner in NYC that I have been going to since back in high school with my parents. The waiters sing broadway hits so its like dinner and a show. Went out for drinks last night with Max, got angry with him for inviting his entourage to my going away party (the two guy friends of his that I’ve hooked up with. Awkward!) and drank my weight in vodka sodas.
You would think I’d learn my lesson.
Despite being tipsy, I stayed up late to finish Memoirs of a Geisha. Project Finish All My Books is going along nicely, however I still have 12 more to go. Fuck me.
Next up? The Jane Austen Book Club.
Now I must return to the extraordinairily dull task of looking at my computer screen blankly and hope my building doesn’t fall down. (at least, not while i’m in it) The construction next door is blowing up the foundation and the closer it gets to my building, the more my building shakes, sways and feels on the verge of collapsing. Its especially fun when your chair gets air during one particularly bad blast.
In between holding on to the desk for dear life when the alarm sounds pre-blast, I’m looking at pet adoption websites because Ashley wants a puppy. Three million things need to happen before I get a puppy though, such as move, get a job, get a house, furnish said house, save some money….oh its too much to think about. Can everything just fall into my lap when I get back from Europe? That’d be greatly appreciated.
Another bit of random news? I’m wearing a mostly white dress, with dark blue underwear. I’m pretty sure you can see through my dress. I’m all sorts of FAIL today aren’t I?
And with that, I wish you a happy monday.
I’d be curious to know what you think of the Jane Austen Book Club…
(I loved Memoirs of a Geisha – perhaps we should start a long distance book club since we seem to have the same taste in reading material?)
xo
What kind of puppy do you want?
I used to work at the Royal Ontario Museum. That’s how all animals are stuffed, just the skin on a mold. It is weird but (as a science geek) I think its cool.
My friend bought a puppy outside a beachside bar on Saturday afternoon.
It was the best moment of my life.
Mainly because I told her to do it and now I can visit and not take care of it and play. I rule.
This sounds awesome. Also, I agree that tigers are ADORABLE. Heart.
Over the weekends we were visiting the boy’s parents and he told me you could see my underwear through my pyjama pants. I said, “at least I’m wearing underwear”
And I have looked at pet adoption sites since my first year of university (almost 7 years ago). It all pays off though. I pick up my new munchkin in two and a half weeks!
jane austen book club is a very quick read. you just reminded me that my friend gave me that movie like a year ago for christmas. i think i packed it in storage though, argh.
Oh lordy. I canNOT read when I’m drunk.
I LOVE Ellen’s Stardust Diner. So fun!
gah i’ve got a cute white dress for old navy but ever since my FATHER told me it was see through to discourage me from wearing it to church (lol) i’m paranoid!!!
Oh a mini meet up with Maxie and Cavy? Sounds nice. They’re, like you, are my favorite bloggers
I’m so glad I got to meet you!! And I’m determined to come up again before you embark on your European adventure.
I really like The Jane Austen Book Club. One of my favorites.
I’m so jealous I couldn’t go up with Maxie this weekend!!! Next time…
Bone licker?
Perv!
love that you wore a mostly white dress with blue undies. i do that all the time with my tae kwon do pants. you know a man made white pants…ugh. haha but i usually have hot pink undies underneath it. i get a little self conscious sometimes but then i’m like F* it
i’m jealous you get to hang out with awesome other bloggers. your weekend sounds pretty fun with a few exceptions!
I swear I read the name of the bar as “Boner Licker”. That’s got to be the most perverted bar name ever.
New here … love what you’ve done with the place!
Your story inspires me to have a blast this weekend at an upcoming “girls night out” that I’m attending. It has been a very looooong time since I have had such a night, and I’m thinking of just taking the bus or a taxi to start off, so I don’t need to worry about driving at all.
Which just makes me want to live in a cool city where I don’t have to drive to get to the cool bars to even begin with.
