After meeting Katie in Flushing, we go to see 500 Days of Summer in the city. Personally, I like the romantic drama comedies, so this is right up my alley. I love the editing in it because it jumps from early days of their relationship to later days and back and forth, thus the “500 days.” In the end, it’s a really great movie to empower men because Zooey plays a huge cunt that dumps him and marries another guy within five months. What a whore…

In Flushing, Katie and I get the ingredients for hot pot. It’s basically a pot of bowling water in the middle of the table and raw food is put inside, cooked, and you eat. Beef, pork, shrimp, fish balls, vegetables, etc.
At night, we go to 7/11 to get slushies and load them up with rum. Yummy yummy.

The day before, I make reservations for Trattoria Dell’Arte, a restaurant near where my mom works because it’s restaurant week. Prix fixe menu of three courses for $35 a head. Mother and brother are going straight there after work, so Katie and I go in early to hang around. We check out a bunch of thrift stores, but don’t end up getting anything. For a snack, we get Reuben’s Empanadas, which are pretty good.
The dinner is pretty good, but it’s still not the top of what you can get out of the deal for restaurant week. At night, we go to Koreatown to get a watermelon scooped out filled with soju. Then we go to Hiro Ballroom, which is a lounge filled with mad Asians because Katie had a connection for us to get in.

We go to H Mart and gather the ingredients to make an udon dish with beef, tofu, and veggies. I find out that the house is going to be empty for the night, so I invite people over to do power hour. Katie has a DVD for it. We also purchase sake, mudslide, and whiskey.
People start rolling in at 10:00ish. Loads and loads of people and it is so crowded. We actually don’t get through all of power hour, but I think I go through at least 30 minutes of it. Later, we end up eating up an entire Crave Case. A good shindig.

I go to the CollegeCandy party at 6:00ish. Before that, I take about three shots before I get there. The walk there is horrible because it’s so hot. Bolanos doesn’t end up going because of confusion and he think he’ll get lost in the city. CNF is sick and Atron ends up backing out at the end of the night. The party is at this bar.
When I get there, I say Hi to Katie and meet some of her co-writers/workers. It’s open bar, but there’s only one waitress that we can order from. I keep tipping her so that she can keep bring drinks. I think I go through like 3-4 drinks until the thing ends. Katie and I are delegated to giving people wristbands and raffle tickets. It’s a pretty cool party with lots of people, most of which are girls. I guess it’s loss for the boys for not coming. I end up meeting Katie’s boss and he takes a few people out for dinner. Unfortunately, Blue Smoke, across the street, is booked. We end up going to the Japanese place next door. After some dinner, which the boss pays for, which is incredibly nice, I end up going back in that heat.

Bagels in the morning at Best Bagel. I get that everything bagel toasted with egg, sausage, and cheese. We then head into the city for the Museum of Sex, which isn’t bad, but I don’t think as good as the donation based museum’s (MET, Natural History, etc.). Then again, I haven’t been to other ones than those. When we leave, it’s really pouring outside. Somehow, we find a guy selling so-so umbrellas for $2. Not bad. Usually, I would expect it to go for $10 in that weather. We head to Chinatown to look for stuff, but it’s way pouring so only get some appetizers at this restaurant. Fried dumplings and wontons.
Then up to Cooper Union Square for Dessert Truck. I hold onto the bread pudding while we eat the delicious molten chocolate cake. I’ll write about it on Yelp. Go check it out. Dweez.yelp.com. Then over to Urban Outfitters a bit before taking the train back.
Then we go to Candace’s with Tim and Bolanos’ at night.

We go to Flushing again so I can drop off my frames because my old glass frames are from Middle School. Gotta get get a bit more fashionabley sensible. We then see Funny People, which is pretty darn good. During that, we chomp on roasted duck sandwiches, drink mango slushie bubble drink, and eat Sno-Caps. After, we go back to Flushing to buy some stuff at the 99 cent store. It has stuff that’s more expensive than 99 cents, but stuff is still dirt cheap and there’s an awesome variety of stuff. I couldn’t imagine what I could do with $10 there.
When we get back, Bowen needs to car ot drive out to Best Buy to drop something off. He takes a long time, so we end up missing the BBQ and no food! However, we hang there for a bit until people are invited back to my place. There’s drinking, giving away of t-shirts, and other funs.

We go to Flushing again to check out the library, but find out that it’s closed on
Sundays. I don’t know how I forgot that. The best day for it to open, it’s closed. However, we go to Old Navy where she has a 30% off card. I end up buying stuff from the Boys section because the other stuff is too big. It’s pretty awesome because this stuff is cheaper too. Got some really good deals and it’s so motherfucking cheap. Awesome hoodie, $13. Graphic tee, $4. Hollerrr!
For dinner, tortellini with a spinach, asparagus, garlic olive oil sauce. Nom nom. I loves the cooking.
