did nothin!

so i did almost nothing on my list of things to do last weekend. last weekend was tough!
this wknd has started off really well. i went to deity last night, and i will definitely be back. my friend nyjia is definitely a new partner in crime.

i'm trying to make it to galapagos for the springtime floating kabarette. who doesn't like a little burlesque, aerial dancers, and people in wigs to start of the night?

on sunday there's a macaroni and cheese contest in greenpoint. i've gotta give a shoutout to my bloggin friend heather over at new york shitty who will be an official judge. that could be really ... hella dangerous for the waist line. so i will very likely be staying away. but observing from afar, i can't wait to hear who wins. who is the DON of mac and cheese?

spring has almost sprung, y'all. and you know there will be soirees on my roof, tea parties in shara's backyard, and weenie romps through the park.

let me know if you have any suggestions for other places to dance. deity's at the top of my list. i even saw a few people doing a little bboying/bgirling last night, which i was pleasantly surprised to FINALLY see in brooklyn.

i'm in the process of searching for a new roommate, too. i'll let you know who passes the rad enough test to move in.

ciao for now.

similar scenes in williamsburg last night, apparently. i got messages that there were fireworks at some point. much celebration going on in the street. i txted and called everyone i could think of - we are so proud. tears and champagne.

later last night i got txts that there was rioting in williamsburg. i read on gothamist that it was just a celebration, maybe a few bottles being thrown, until nypd showed up in full riot gear. that apparently made everyone angry.

i'll be waiting to read what went down in my neighboring hood. we went outside when the race was called and there was no one on the streets of greenpoint. at least not on kingsland. got up early this morning to go get some papers before they sell out.

what a night. we've done it!

oh hailloween

how was your halloween?

mine was OK. next year i will know that if i want to go to the east village halloween parade that i must either arrive much earlier, bring a stepstool, view from the other side of the street, or some combination of all 3.

i went as a voodoo priestess / witch doctor. i scared the bejesus out of some people riding on the train because i blacked my teeth out. that was very good fun. in fact, here's a photo of me re-applying blackout to my teeth! unfortunately, there wasn't a photo taken of my entire outfit by anyone i know.

a lot of people took their photo with me, and a lot of photographers took my photo, but somehow we forgot to take one.

anyway. we later came home and changed back into our regular people clothes because my foot was giving me some serious trouble. shara wasn't having any of that, and she promptly put a stache and beard on me.

hilarious. she also let me borrow a beautiful parka that she got somewhere for a steal. beautiful embroidery. got my jones going for a sample sale!

i sold a bunch of stuff at buffalo exchange, which is the raddest little outpost i've stopped into in awhile. i scored davie b some pf flyers he's been jonesin, and i scored the gold mids i've been stalking for almost a year now. and a rad puma bag, and a jacket for work. oh and a flask.

brooklyn, you are so good to me. so rewarding. it makes schluffing up to the laundromat with my underwear out for all to see worth it.

we tried some place called habitat in greenpoint, but it wasn't in our neck of greenpoint. they also weren't serving food by the time we got there. so a car back to willy b, falafel by the l stop (not so great ... my falafel from costco is hella better). then to muggs, where i had some beer. duvel. who knew that i could even drink a whole beer?

i didn't hate it. but i still like shara's birthday beer better. leffe.

on that note ... back to craig's list. which has also rewarded me significantly.

wanna see our new apartment?

i can't wait to be king[sland]!!

we dun moved to brooklyn

to greenpoint. kingsland ave. our place is huge. we are beyond stoked.
