Got a call from my Doctor regarding my test results. Turns out I have pretty amazing cholesterol. He was pretty enthusiastic it seemed.

The weekend of the 12th Karyn and I followed Kelly and Miranda up to North Adams. The trip was bittersweet as we went to visit our friend who is sick. Got up there, took a dip in the old lake and went to Vaal’s house. There were a lot of people. We drank and told stories all night. Apparently I was “really drunk,” but I felt I was just as drunk as some others. Anyhow maybe I was too loud? I don’t know.

Wednesday was Poker Night at my place. Set up a big table that pretty much filled up my entire apartment. The stakes were low and everyone was pretty stoked when Jeff went out and got an entire chicken dinner. I won. NIck was returned his $5 as it was getting late and he still had some chips left. I picked up $20 on the deal, but $5 of that was mine, and I’d spent about $20 on beer and snacks. Nobody wins! Although there was a lot of beer left over. It’ll probably wait there til the next game.

Thursday Jessica and I went to a real nice dinner and to a bar that promised to be mini, although it wasn’t that small… but the bartender was. Friday KR and I went to check out the zine library at Barnard. It was nice, but mostly feminist slanted. I picked up some zines in the free box, but left them at the BBQ I attended post library at Marilyn’s.
Saturday I went to the beach at Ft. Tilden to celebrate Dan’s birthday (occurred 2 weeks prior). It was real nice there, and everyone was happy to be there as it was so hot and the ocean was totally cool. Went out for a couple of drinks that night with Jessica for Lily’s bday.

Sunday was band practice. We nailed a cover of Remix to Ignition. Is there a non remix version? And what does he mean by “Now It’s like ‘Murder, She Wrote’ Once I Get You Out Them Clothes”? I just googled it and there’s an Ignition, but it seems like a totally different song.

Monday night I met Isom for a few beers. We ended up going to a show in Bushwick. It was probably the hottest place I’ve ever been in for my entire life. I threw water on people and instead of being annoyed the asked for more. I was just pouring all over the fat sweaty bearded dude and he thanked me. I don’t know young people put up with such conditions and pay for it on top of it all.
