So i went to DC over the weekend. it was fun.

Here are some photos from the impromptu Sopranos viewing party we had on Sunday. One of the girls in the fourth picture is my oldest brother's girlfriend. guess which one.

The autumn colors in Central Park. Weather has been shitty this week but on Sunday it wasn't bad.



Here are some other random photos from earlier that day. The first was of some musician writing sheet music on the subway. He was so engrossed in what he was doing I was having fun watching him. He also looks like a bit of a cliche but that's another thing that was fun about it. The second picture i snapped while at a light on the bus. Someone decided to splatter paint on a posh Central Park West apartment. Looks pretty good. the last one is of me looking lame in my sweater and baby blue shirt. I never dress like that. bah. the reason i included it is because i'm standing funny.

scandalous


this because of this.

2 weeks suspension with no pay. damn shame. seems to be taking it well, though.

so today was my first day of work. it went ok. i decline to comment on the job or the people for security purposes.

that is all.

Check out my brother on the Sopranos web site at hbo.com

here's some vids i shot on the subway on sunday. there was this white wannabe b-boy breakin' for money. he really sucked. he would get all tired and shit and start wheezin. it was sad. my expression at the end of the video basically sums it up. the second one is of some guerilla drummers. they would hop on a train and play for two stops and quickly ask for money. then they'd transfer and do it again. they were pretty good.

the files are pretty big so dialup people beware.

Oh yeah, I went to a halloween party on Saturday. It was at DJ Cloo's co-worker's apartment in Tribeca. Huge place. A good time was had by all. I ran into Teri and Orly there. Teri was a secretary and I forget what Orly was.



I was Kim Il Sung. I made my costume at the last second. Originally I was going to go as a russian b/c I had the hat that tim got me in moscow but decided to change it to the Dear Leader after I found my glasses. Then I made a t-shirt using my color printer and iron-on transfers. Too bad I accidentally put it on upside down. But I guess there's symbolism in that.



My roommates were having a party of our own but i decided to bounce after some guy named Taco Boy took off his pants and was walking around with his cock hanging out. You see, my roommates became burners after going to Burning Man over the summer. They put the invite on the Burning Man mailing list and that was that. It was a really good turnout and a lot of people i didn't know came. A lot of people that my roommates didn't know came. I helped set the party up by putting up black light decorations. the preparations these guys put into party decorations was amazing. bill bought an army surplus parachute and covered the ceiling.

i also met an elf. she was nice.

so there i was, happily brushing my teeth in my very own bathroom. the sonicare was undulating with a pleasing intensity. I was thinking about the delicious pills I would soon be eating and my thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a tickling on my foot. It really meant only one thing: some sort of vermin was crawling on my foot.

I looked down and the largest roach i've ever seen scurried away behind some shit. not real shit, but stuff in my bathroom. blah blah, i killed him and threw him in the toilet. then i decided to take a picture of the bastard. i threw in a butt for size comparison. not a real butt.

I'm sleepy but i can't sleep. i've gotten about 3 hours of sleep in more than two days. Why? I ask myself that same question.

I'm kind of enjoying netcape 7.0. it's a nice change and it also helps me manage my various yahoo accts simultaneously. and the ad-blocker is also nice.

these are from awhile ago but i felt like putting them up.

weekend roundup
it was a fun weekend. too bad the giants lost the Series yesterday. DJ Cloo had a birthday bash this weekend at Angel in the LES. I was an hour late b/c I was watching the Giants choke in Game 6. Fucken losers.

I also didn't take any uppers so i reverted to my college style of drinking which amounts to me drinking too much and then passing out wherever. But before I passed out, i managed to make a few classic memories:

I smashed an over-frosted birthday cupcake in my mouth and then started walking around talking to people as if everything was normal.

I slipped a bouncer 20 bucks to let my brother into the club, the first doorman-greasing of my career.

Right before I passed out, I got more comfortable by taking off my shoes, which is not that weird, but i guess some of DJ Cloo's work friends thought i was a weirdo.

I put a drink on this staircase and some jerk kicked it over and it spilled all over DJ Cloo's boss and then I paused 5 seconds before apologizing for some other fool's big ass feet.

I managed to eat 1.5 slices of pizza before passing out completely.

ps. i cut my hair.
