Another Lame Recap Post

I know I've said it a million times already, but I really need to start blogging more.  I have been doing things and then when I finally get around to writing (like now) it seems so long ago that I say "screw it" and don't bother with the details.

Notable occurrences (just for the record):

Went to see Jimmie's Chicken Shack and it was canceled.  The venue wasn't even open.  I still don't know if it was the band or the venue.  Either way, it was pretty annoying.  A total lack of communication other than a sign on the door. Then, with the following day off from work and already out I proceeded to go to a new wine/martini bar that opened near my house and got ripshit drunk.  Partially because of me, but also due to the bartender throwing some free drinks/shots my way.  Jesus, what a hangover.

More exciting than my drinking and my hangover, but also involving both of those things, I went to NYC.  It was my first legitimate visit in quite awhile.  I think only my third visit since I left (and one of those was for legal matters, so not really fun).  It made me miss the old place, but I was also reminded that it's a island of insanity that I don't necessarily need. I was very back and forth on my feelings towards the big city the whole time I was there. That whole love/hate shit I have for pretty much everything.  Highlights include: inquiring at one parking lot for pricing and finding out it was $54 a day (and not parking there), The Spotted Pig, a party at my friend Todd's, bagels (good ones), little sleep, drinks everywhere (until 4am), Holiday Cocktail Lounge, sharing a couch with a big dog at some clothing store in SoHo while other shopped, Tribeca Tavern, Peruvian food, pickles, doughnuts, bialys, the NYC half marathon and the good ol' Twilight Diner in Pennsylvania.

Upon my return I had a dentist appointment.  That went well.  No cavities.  Oh, and a free toothbrush and whatnot.  That's always good.

I also watched laser eye surgery.  I started getting sweaty and sick feeling though so I stopped.  Too much touching of the eye for my brain's liking I guess.

And that's all I've got at this point.
