Was on the wagon for most of the week. Mostly because I’m trying not to spend any money. It’s kinda funny to think of it as a fast. A spending diet. Made it all week with only going out to dinner one time. Saturday morning I had a craving that could only be satisfied with Biscuits and Gravy. The first event that night was seeing Nato’s friend Aaron give a presentation on his art/activist group The Center for Tactical Magic. Then I darted down the street to watch the big game. The bar was like a time warp back to L town circa 2001. All the art school kids that have since moved to Williamsburg were there wearing probably the only Kansas shirt they own and hooting and hollering while watching their first game of the season (that’s practically the case for me). After a rousing victory the gang headed over to Black Betty to rejoin the art talk people and do a little dancing. Afterwards I was kinda boozy walking around and ended up at Savalas in the middle of Lauren’s bday party. Danced a little more and wandered a little more after that. Got home really late, but felt well all day lazy Sunday.

I need to get a new drivers license. And a social security card… Hey, here’s a flimsy piece of paper. Hold on to it for the rest of your life ok? What a pain.
