weekend in review

January 7, 2008 · 8 Comments

thanks for the impassioned response to my embarrassing high school picture. for the record, i wasn’t all preppy, all the time. i also rocked the guidette look** quite a bit as evidenced below (another gem from the 1993 edition of the pascack valley warrior):

** i am from jersey, after all.

a few exciting things from this weekend that i care to share:

1. gawker.col: i saw saw SETH MEYERS and bill hader (i think) on bleecker street. i slowed down and pretended to look at books on the table in front of the bookstore on the corner. i didn’t have the balls to say anything to them. i should have asked seth what’s going on with the strike. after they walked by, i stopped pretending to read and followed them from about 50 feet behind for one block. i’m a chump.

2. i saw “there will be blood.” it rocked. daniel day lewis = haunting. musical score = brill. story = exciting, fascinating and very applicable to current day — the land-grab situation that is the Web, the extremes of capitalism and religion.

3. finally went to the new apple store in the nabe. i was with a dude so i didn’t pick up any cute guys. but i did run into my cousin carmen and her friend jenny, which was fun. i will have to go back soon, looking fly and flying solo so i can kick it to some hot nerdlingers.

4. i played a lot of mario this weekend. and here i give you mario awsome:

    JERZ! Damn, I wish I had some pics of my “look” in high school circa 1987. Now, that would be FUNNY!
