Ave. Q was good. there was full puppet nudity! they warned me, but still- a little shocking. great music, funny, and still with a heart. also very hip.
chinese new year? tonight im going to dinner in chinatown. that's celebration enough.
Last night I was walking towards the kitchen when I passed some noises coming from the bathroom. Strange since no one was in there. The light was off and the door was open. I turn on the light and see a racoon halfway inside the top part of the window that leads to the lightshaft. (!) I say in a loud, but calm voice: there is a racoon climbing in the bathroom window. ... No one seems to think im being serious until i put my mug and chips down on the floor and grab a broom. I wave the broom in the general direction of the racoon, not hitting it - but still, not wanting to help it in the window. Then it falls down about one and a half floors and gets out of the lightshaft somehow. After all the screaming and running around, a guy from downstairs comes up to check on us. he gets a flashlight and checks from the lower floor and the little guy seems to be gone. I am just trying to imagine if the raccoon did get in and just strolled into the living room. Or went into the kitchen garbage. Then we would run in to yell at whichever cat was expected to be the culprit only to find- a RACCOON?! We probably would be forced to close some of the doors and trap it and then call animal control. Unbelievable!
Sometime last week, Scott had Sharn, Jen and I over for Boggle and found they were quite worthy opponents. we re smart SMRT.
FRIDAY night: Jen and bendy and I went to a raw bar and had clams and oysters, then a lobster roll and ended with a dessert of one bucket of steamers. plus one bottle of wine. then we went to whichever bar we passed across the street by West 4th and drank some more, talked to some guys. One guy assaulted us with what ressembled a stand up act. another half japanese, half jordanian guy's friend tried to chat us up as we walked by with the amazing line "HEY my friend just landed from Japan!!" after we walked in and saw the place, we did end up talking to them for quite a while. there is one mystery tho. how did my phone and a few other things in my purse get wet, salty and muddy? my phone was broken and had to be replaced. good thing we opted for insurance! at first it was just stuck on Car Kit and the charger connector point was corroded with salt, then i got a new battery, then I could hear, but no one could hear me. Then the store ppl worked on it forever in the back room. then it turned out that they had just forgotten i was still waiting! anyway, i got a new phone for free. Jen can shed no light on this situation either. Did someone put a snowball in my purse when I wasn't looking on Friday? hmm.
Jen got the audio cord that we needed for Dianne's iKaraoke. It is pretty cool. Dianne uses it. often. haha.
