Slow at Home, Fast at Bing

Novemer 7, 2009
Hasan doesn’t feel like going out. Miah, Kenny, and I chill out at Bolanos’. Kenny passes out and we leave at 12-1:00ish to drop him off and we run over to On the Run for a snack. I get a soda and a Buffalo Wrap. It has the longest list of ingredients ever, but it’s pretty healthy and actually tastes okay. It’s not the best food, but I mean, I used to eat loads of fast food at late night…
We watch TV and chill and finally Miah and I leave at 3-4:00. A chill recovery night compared to crazy yesterday.

I procrastine during the afternoon, but at least I get some guitar practice in. At night, I get some reading done along with mad TV watching. At 9:00, I get Miah and Kenny and we go to Panera. Great place because of unlimited ice tea and ice coffee. Their coffee is fantastic and it’s an awesome place to just sit around, chill out, and joke around. We leave when the place closes before 11:00.

Awesome much, Gossip Girl is doing mad NY stuff because a few of them go to NYU. Then mentioned Bar None twice, but I’m pretty sure they don’t have beer pong there. They talk about spinning the cube at Cooper Square. They mention the shitty bathroom in Fat Black Pussy Cat, which I should check out. Then Dan gets a threesome with Vanessa and Olivia.

I have my Spanish presentation today on the Cuban sandwich. It’s not bad except I get a bit of the speaking jitters at the beginning. I also do a silly thing where I recommend a Cuban sandwich place during the presentation. There’s “question time” after a presentation, but a girl asks where the restaurant in Midtown is. My English brain flicks on and I answer “in the Theater District around 47th.” My professor shoots me a “WTF” look and the class is confused. I sorta realize by then that I’ve made a mistake. A little embarrassing.
Also for Spanish, we’ve finished the textbook with grammer and vocab. Instead, we’re doing a “novel” that’s made with questions and stuff. Even with having this much experience with Spanish, trying to read fiction is ridiculous. I don’t know how the hell they expect us to spend 2-3 hours before every class meticulously reading this bullshit.
After class, I go with my presentation partner and three others from the class to Crumbs randomly. Something to treat myself to after the silly presentation. When I get to Crumbs, I know that I should get something for Katie. We were supposed to do a cupcake tour in New York. They say I need to go online to order them if I want them shipped.
At the library, I look online and I can only order by the half dozen. Fuck that shit bro. At 2:00, I have to go to the Psych Center to do a study. I check out some disturbing images for thirty minutes and do some button pressing. In the middle of it, I have to watch fucking a Boeing 747 documentary, again. I’ve done another study before where I had to watch this hour long thing before. It’s so frakin’ boring. It’s basically to occupy myself so that the second part of the study can go on with a fresh mind. It’s an hour and a half and I get $15. That’s awesome. I would’ve been waiting for my afternoon class anyway. Awesome way to make a few bucks randomly.
After that, I decide to go ChikaLicious for cupcakes after I find out that Crumbs ran out of Katie’s favorite, red velvet. On the way, I see Jonah walking and he decides to come with me. I get four mini cupcakes because that’s all they have. Jonah also mentions that it was on New York Magazine and suggested to by their guest reviewer. I have to figure out how to ship it though and bring it back to freeze. It’s a bit of a hassle to be so deal with bringing home. I have to pull them out gently, which gets a bit of frosting on my hands, so that I can put napkins under them so they don’t jiggle around and ruin the frosting even more than I did.
At night, I find out that Josh is going upstate to visit Scott and he agrees that we both go up and he drops me off at Bolanos’. I pack loads of stuff and have to go to sleep early because I have to wake up at 5:30 since we’re leaving at 6.

I wake up at 5:30 to shower. Josh picks me up before 6:30 and we go to Bagel Man. We then drive up while listening to some albums. We make awesome time and we get there by 10:00ish. We hang out for a bit and watch Always Sunny and then Josh goes up to Scott in Ithaca. Bolanos and I go to Chris’ Diner, which is really good and ridiculously cheap. Compared to NY diners, it’s half price. Three eggs and sausage/bacon/or ham under $4. Boy is the purchasing power so much stronger here…
We then go to the liquor store to get whiskey. Then t o the supermarket for cola and Black and Tan Yuengling. We chill out for a bit, but Bolanos is mad tired from not sleeping and I am too. At 3:00, we decide to take a nap. I go for an hour and watch TV while Bolanos is out for 4 hours. Tim gets back from work at DP Dough, I contact Atron, and we meet up at Tully’s for dinner. It’s 9ish by now and we have to wait, so I get a huge beer at the bar. Then I get an Alabama Slammer at the table, which is mighty yummy (vodka, SoCo, grenadine, and orange juice.). I go healthy and get a grilled chicken sandwich with pasta salad (instead of fries). It’s loaded with wayyyy too much ranch and I remove at least two tablespoons worth. Fuck that.
We regroup and Tim, Bolanos, and I go back. The drinks are working and I chill out for 20-30 minutes. Then I’m ready to pregame. We have beer and whiskey and Diet Pepsi Lime. I miss that stuff. It’s so good. Tim has work at 12:00, so Bolanos and I get a ride downtown right on the way. We go to Tom and Marty’s which is a decent bar. Atron shows up. I start off with a hugggeee gin and tonic. It cost only $5, while in the city, a double would cost at least $10. Hollerr.
Atron shows up and we stand around. There’s a wheel behind the bar that they spin. It spins onto a drink special and for that time, drinks of that type are like $2. I order a watermelon shooter, yum. We then go the Rat, which is pretty cool since I haven’t been there. It’s been poppin and there’s a big dance floor. We then move to Scoreboard, which was closed down and used to be called Sports Bar. We see classic Mike Weiss there. Atron has to go because he has something to do in the morning. The place is pretty shit show. We see Brendan, classic. I’m drunk, but it’s one of those places that has bad floors that should NOT be wet. I slip and fall real bad. I bruise up my knee like shit. Bolanos and I walk back at 2-3:00. Bolanos is mad fuckin’ drunk and sorta passes out. I order DP Dough. It gets there by 4:00ish and time comes back before 6:00. I go to sleep then in Jess’ room.

I wake up at 1:00ish and I can’t go back to sleep. I’m mad hungry and we go to the mall because Bolanos wants to get a Yankees shirt (it’s murder they charge that much for “official” bullshit). I get a chicken sandwich at Arby’s. Bolanos also needs jeans since he only has one pair. I help him pick out two pairs at PacSun, where I get my jeans.
We get back. We chill and Tim goes to the library. I decide to cook sloppy joes for dinner. We go to the supermarket for it. Bolanos argues with me that I need to get “sloppy joe” mix, which is disgusting. It’s literally tomato puree and high fructose corn syrup, fuck that, I’m not cooking with that garbage. When we get back, I make some bruschetta with the store baked everything Italian bread. We eat mad sloppy joes. Legit.
A little while after, Grif and Jess show up and two friends. I pregame a bunch and we go to a house party that’s really close. It’s pretty dead and we get out of the $5 cover that they try to charge. There’s a band playing and it gets a bit bigger. Nice being able to smoke inside a house. Bolanos and I have a Poland Spring bottle of some whiskey. I then challenge him to a $5 bet in 1 v 1 beerpong. I lose. Sigh. We leave shortly to walk to downtown. I start running ahead of the crowd, which is not awkward… I need to get my night going and have to get downtown to meet up.
I split up from the group and meet up with Atron. I see my boy Murray. I then run into Vucko and Nate that were on my floor freshman year. They barely recognize me and they get me two shots. I get shwasted and Atron tells me that people are going to the strip club. I randomly speak to Ala and we’re both pretty drunk. I don’t really rememeber what we were talking about because I’m way drunk. We jump in a cab and we’re almost there until a cop pulls the cab over. Holy shit.
That’s crazy because I’m sitting on the floor of the cab van and the cops could’ve done something about that. Instead, the cops only ticket the guy for speeding while we’re already there at the strip club. For some reason, I’m not sure why, I’m one of the only people charged for a $10 cover. Confused. The shots start hitting me. We sit down around the stripper area and get enticed for a George Washington. Classy man in my drunken state, I offer the single from my mouth. I then run to the bathroom to get some vomit action going. I walk outside to get some more vomit action going away from the front door. Atron and the rest come out and I think the bouncer told them that I was officially kicked out. Second time that this has happened to me. I’m about that. Got kicked out of a strip club. Nice job bro.
I take a cab to downtown where Bolanos and Tim are eating. Bolanos apparently bed against Tim that he couldn’t finish a panini. It was mad easy. We then walk back and I just remember passing out, not before eating 2 sloppy joe sandwiches I made out of the leftovers.

November 15, 2009
I wake up at 12-1:00 and not really hungover or anything. However, there’s still damage. My knee is still ripped up from falling down at Scoreboard. I also have a bump on my head today and I’m not sure what it’s from. Nice memory my friend. I’m starving and grab some of the leftovers because I’m all about waking up starving. Josh comes over from Ithaca and hanging with Scott and we watch some football. The Lions and Vikings game is on. Shit’s mad lopsided.
During halftime, we go to Wegman’s, which is sort of Binghamton’s upper class supermarket like Whole Foods. The scam before was to steal the sandwiches from their deli because it’s right next to the entrance/exit. However, Brendi got caught once and had to pay $80 in reparations. I end up getting a roast beef on wheat with Swiss. I also have a cup of their yummy shrimp bisque. It’s way too much food and I def fattended up like crazy this weekend. I’ll def have to take care of myself when I get home and get back to working out and my diet.
Before 6:00, Josh and I take the drive down. We hit some traffic and I’m home before 10:00.
