CNF is at Stout and I end up going there. Before that, Nichole from Stickam tells me that a friend of hers from Rochester is in the city for a conference. I actually know Nichole from a Stickam channel that called Tea Time Chat. It’s like for chicks into Asian dudes. So it’s loaded with Asian doods and chicks. It’s weird that all of them are white. I end up getting the number of Nichole’s friend and we text for the night while I’m at Stout.
At Stout, Fuckin’ Bud Light is $7. The Magic Hat is $6.50 somehow. After the two beers, people are karaoking, but CNF and I just sit there for a bit and leave at 1:00ish.
March 15, 2009
At night, I go to Time Square to meet up with Champagne, Nichole’s friend. She’s staying at the Marriot Marquis. We walk around for a few hours in the area because there’s nothing open or anything to do. It was from like 12:00 to 2:00. Then she has to go back because she’s in the city for a journalism conference for her school’s paper.
March 16, 2009
I meet up with Champagne at 11:00ish and bring her down to the West Village to go Fat Cat. It’s a Tuesday and there’s nowhere really to go other than Fat Cat. We sit there and she likes the place and the music. I randomly see Courtney and Connor. Courtney is Corinne’s sister and Connor is Courtney’s boyfriend. The weird thing is that one of the last times I was there was with them three. I guess I introduced them to the place.
We stay there a few hours until I have to drop her off by 2:00. While walking near Time Square, some black guy screams out, “Hey sister! Why you with a little Asian boy? You like that little dick eh?”
It’s because she’s half black, but looks black and we’re holding hands. She said she might be around tomorrow even though she’s leaving.
March 17, 2009
It turns out that she’s only going for the parade for a bit and then leaving on her flight back to Rochester. The parade has to be soo early in the noonish time, I guess that enforces people get super drunk early and for the night too.
I don’t end up seeing her for the day, but she said she’ll be back soon in a week or two to visit and stuff.
It’s St. Pattie’s so it seems like a night to go crazy and stuff. I drink a bit and walk around. I don’t know where I want to go, so I end up going myself to Slainte, a bar across the street. I’m a bit drunk and a bit tired and surprised when the bouncer asks my year.
My reflex says 88 and he rejects me. Fuck man… It’s chalked to ’86.
March 18, 2009
So from the Asian Stickam room, someone from Jersey visits, Kara. She takes the train up here. I meet her at 3:30ish in Midtown. There’s no much to do, so we end up walking around a lot in bookstores and stuff. We try to find Internet, but it’s surprising how hard it is to find WiFi. We have dinner at Hale and Hearty Soup. She catches the 9:00ish train back after a lonnggg day of walking around.
March 19, 2009
So I’ve also been on this Asian community site. I don’t actually use it, but I just made an account. Some girl in New York messages me and we fly a few messages. I end up asking if she’s got nothing to do, if she wants to meet up for coffee. I know, online date yadda yadda, so whatever.
I end up meeting her at a café near NYU campus at 2:00. After a coffee, we walk around NYU campus, then the West Village. Barnes and Noble, a library in a church, then the subway down to the South Street Seaport. I’ve been there before, but never in the mall area. Then a walk from that area to Chinatown. We end parting ways past 9:00. Now that’s one really long date.
I find out that Candace, Damien, and Jonah are hanging out at CNF’s. I go there and we hang out. Drink a lil’ bit of vodka and a 22 of malt liquor. I take a few hits of the weed and go back with Jonah. A long day and sealed up the night well.
March 20, 2009
Kenny comes into the city to hang out. Jonah is around too. We go to Fat Cat before 12:00. We sit around for a beer while I work on 3 beers through the night, one Stout and two PBRs. Jonah has to leave by 1:30 and it’s Kenny and I. We joke about “race rating” game for a bit. White, Mix, Hispanic, Middle Eastern, Asian, South Asian, Black.
March 21, 2009
I try to be productive and go to my mom’s office near Columbus Circle to pick up a digital camera. I then go to the supermarket to pick up foods. Ramen, rice, soda, bread, roast beef, cheese, pickles, etc.
That’s pretty much my day and I make plans with Tiffany (date from Thursday).
At night, I go to Sunny and Annie’s. The Bush sandwich is real good. A roll with grilled chicken, half a fresh avocado, onion, ranch, a few slices of dried seaweed, and fresh sliced mozzarella. (I actually HATE fresh onion, but it was good. It was sweet red onion and it was sliced really thin. It helps give the sandwich a hint of flavor instead that sharp attack like thick slices on a burger.)
March 22, 2009
I meet Tiffany at 2:00 at Think Coffee, which is around the corner. We go to Washington Square Park and the weather is nice so lots of people are out. We see some people playing jazz and watch the dog park. The dog park is pretty awesome. It’s just tons and tons of dogs running around in an area. We then go to Starbucks and sit around for a few hours. We end up parting at 6:00ish because I should get some stuff done today.

Start of Spring Break
March 12, 2009
It’s the last day of class. I have my Midterm, which I think I do fine on, but it’s all based on how rough it’s graded. I spit out lots of information, but I don’t know if I hit what they want.
I start getting tired and have a bad headache at night. I feel a bit of an attack coming, so I’m too out of it so I sleep at 11:00. I set my alarm for 12:00 so I can wake up have a night. I usually sleep by 4:00ish. However, I end up waking at 6:00AM instead because I set my alarm wrong. That’s the earliest I’ve ever slept in years. It’s so strange waking up like that. However, it turns out that Corinne’s online. She’s in Tokyo, Japan for the week on vacation. I speak to her for a bit and stay up because I can’t sleep. I sleep from 11:00AM to 3:00PM though.
March 13, 2009
I walk over to Chinatown at 6:00ish. I get a Banh Mi. If you don’t know, it’s a Vietnamese sandwich. It’s has yummy grilled pork, salami, pickled carrots, and cucumber on a French baguette. I then go food shopping.
Onions, peppers, carrots, snap peas, and chicken for an Asian stir-fry. Guacamole for my hot dogs. Honey for my pomegranate green tea. (Tea bags in a bottle, water, honey, let it sit in the fridge.) Lean cuisines are on sale, so I get Swedish meatballs and Mac n’ cheese.
I get back and figure some plans with CNF and Bolanos. CNF arrives here by 10:30ish, Bolanos shortly after. We drink a bunch and leave by 11:40. We walk around for a bit trying to find a place, but we end up going to Sidebar. A place I’ve been to a couple times for NYU shindigs. We meet Stefan there and see Atron’s cousin, Ellyse. It’s a bit of a cockfest, so we leave after a beer. CNF and Bolanos are hungry, so they stop at Papaya Dog. Jonah meets up with us because he’s near. I feel bad for walking the bunch of us like idiots trying to find a place near Union Square.
We go to the place that I went two weeks ago. By then it’s 2:00ish and the place is a bit dead, but at least it’s a nice place. Stefan shows up at this place too, but we eventually leave because Stefan wants to go to Artichoke. It’s a long line because it’s a popular pizza and it’s late. It’s famous for their Artichoke pizza.
Stefan, CNF, and Bolanos order a pie. It takes almost an hour waiting. While waiting, Bolanos shows that he has Adderall on him and he puts one on his hand. I randomly grab it and swallow. He says that it’s 20mg and that’s a lot for me. He gives me symptoms, not being able to sleep, dry mouth, and lack of appetite. He says it will hit in 30 minutes, but he doesn’t. They take a cab back to BK and Bolanos is staying at CNF’s. I start walking at 4:00ish and try to find a bar for a beer. Everything’s closed though and I get back at 4:20ish.
I stay up a bit, but before 6:00, it finally hits me. I don’t want to sleep. I’m thirsty, though that could be from the drinking. I should be hungry by now, but I’m not. Then there’s also a rush of energy. It’s not something that feels drug enhanced. We all know how I can turn up my Type A personality and just zone and act batshit fast doing stuff.
I decide to listen/read the oral arguments for Hamdi v. Rumsfeld. It’s for class and I enjoy doing it, so it’s fun. I also stay on Stickam for a while. I hang out with Corinne a while until she has to go out for the night. Even though I should’ve slept earlier, I end up sleeping at 10:30.

May
March 1, 2009
I wake up at 2:00ish and during the afternoon, I watch an episode of Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations. It’s about “lost” places in the city and the nostalgia of that. At the end, they show a dive bar that Anthony sees as a dying breed of bar/pub in the city. I see the surroundings and interior and slowly feel that it’s a place that I’ve been to. It turns out to be the pub that I’ve been to a bunch of times with CNF, Bolanos, Evan, Jenn, etc. It’s an interesting place because it’s so dirty and grungy and has $4 Yuenglings.
March 3, 2009
Amazing Race is back on my list. It’s pretty awesome because it’s like traveling and vacationing, but through the show. At one point, they have to do a challenge that involves doing stuff for gypsies. One of the guys leaves his fannypack with money and passports with them. He then has to look for it and can’t find it. It randomly showed up on a gyspy’s caravan. Those fuckin’ gypsies. I would never trust them.
Another reason for that, Bolanos’ roommate, Brendi, told us a story about his grandmother. Apparently at Christmas dinners, the grandmother spreads his hate of gypsies because back in the day, they had stolen her chickens. A ridiculous story that I just couldn’t stop laughing at when were at Wendy’s in Binghamton.
March 4, 2009
I spend the night running through a bunch of Real World: Brooklyn. I’ve always wanted to watch it, but it’s not on torrent and it’s really annoying dealing with MTV’s site to watch the episodes. However, I butch through. It’s so exciting, again because I jump out of my seat every time I see something that I’ve been to. For example, a few of them walking around SoHo, Coney Island, Little Italy, etc.
March 6-8, 2009
Thursday, no where to go. I sit around for the night with not much to do.
Friday, I go to Chinatown the morning to get food. The food is meh. Again, check out my Yelp! Think Coffee is really awesome.
http://dweez.yelp.com/
At night, there’s nothing to do again. I sit around the night on Skype with Nikki because she has friends over.
Saturday, I try to figure something to do for the night again. CNF and Tom are hanging out in BK. CNF thought about going into the city to hang with Candace, but he didn’t. I could’ve gone into BK, but I decide to stay in the city and see what happens.
I think before 10:00, I start feeling a bit weird or something. I’m feel meh, it’s drinking night anyway. Vodka and Wild Cherry Pepsi.
A few hours later, I start feeling worse and I end up writing this. I could’ve edited this or not posted it, but I guess I felt like being honest at the time:
“It’s been a lonely weekend. I almost had a panic attack, but I drank a lot more to make me feel better. I’m on Stickam too, so it’s keeping me busy. I think I’m going to a bar soon too, myself, solo.”
I walk over the East Village and go to a place that’s suggested on Yelp. It’s a small place that has a lot of tables in the back with people sitting. The bar is empty and I just get a $4 Heinny and leave. I then go to Ace Bar, but I get lost because it gets confusing in that area. I get a $4 Miller High Life at Ace. It’s dying down by 3:00ish and it’s sort of a cock fest. I go to McDonald’s. I walk by the nice hotel near me. I’ve seen Sarah Silverman there. And who do I see, but Jason Segel! He’s smoking a cigarette at 4:00. I get back and sleep by 6:00 because I’m pretty drunk.
A boring weekend, but I’m glad Saturday night didn’t end up as bad as it could’ve been. I guess walking around and those two beers sealed me up.

End of February
February 26, 2009
It’s the usual Thursday relax night because it’s been a long week. I promise myself that I’m going to try out places near me. (dweez.yelp.com)
Go check that out, I’ve written a bunch of reviews.
I go to a pizza place that’s open late near me, Rosario’s in the Lower East Side. It’s Thursday at 1:30 and there are so many drunk people there. I go to order two slices, a fresh mozzarella slice and a bacon cheeseburger slice. During each slice I choose, a drunk well dressed guy in his 20s compliments my choices on my pizza. He then gives me a choice, Cal Ripken or Pistol Pete. I’m like… I don’t know what to choose. A friend of his walks over and adds John Mayer to that group. I obviously choose John Mayer. She turns to her friend and says, “He chose John Mayer.”
I don’t know what kind of game this is. One of the friends gives me a High Five for my choice. I then turn to see more drunk people walk in. Even on a Thursday, these people got dressed to go out, got drunk drunk, and then come here for pizza. When more drunk people walk in, there’s a girl that gives her “shriek.” You know that sound. If you don’t, next time you go out, just listen for loud drunk girls and that loud scream they do when excited. An interesting place at night.
February 27, 2009
CNF has nothing to do, so he comes into the city. I write down like eight different pubs near me so that we have lots of options. He says No to a few of them. We then find a place that’s not too busy. I get a beer and I realize at the bar that at both 9:00 and 3:00 (our left or right), there is a small group of girls. Going out, it’s very rare that you run into a small of girls just sitting there. Pure “prey.” I tell CNF that it’s embarrassing for us to be on a “date” grabbing a beer at a bar. He’s tired and we end up leaving really quickly.
I eventually go really late to get some McDonalds at like 3:00ish. While walking back, I randomly see some douche doing the “ballin” move. I then realize that it’s Evan walking back from Tuck Shop. It’s so random he’s up so late, but he needed something to eat.
February 28, 2009
CNF and Tom are going to a rave in Red Hook. I jump down to the subway and just miss the subway. It’s reaching 11:30ish and stuff and it’s 40 minutes to get there, so I give up on that. I go to a bar thing that is supposed to have lots of NYU people. I ask if Evan wants to go, but he backs out. I walk over to the bar at Union Square, but it takes a while and I get there by 12:45. It’s really crowded and I start off the night by getting a beer, but it’s $6. I run into Derrick and then randomly think I see a girl that I’ve spoken to from my class. I don’t want to be weird in case it’s not her.
I walk around for a bit and then finally ask her if I know her. It turns out that it is her. She’s there with a few cute suitemates. She asks if I’m there with anyone. It’s really awkward to say that I showed up myself, so I say I’m waiting for “my friend” to come.
This is when Pickup Artist comes in. She says she went out tonight because she bought new earrings and needed to show them off. I’m sitting on the couch with her and her friend. After chatting a bit, she’s in her seat dancing. I say that I can tell she wants to dance and she’s like Yeah. I grab her by the arm and pull her out to the dancing area. It’s a swankish, loungey bar, but there’s loud music and an area where people can dance. I’m quite the monster, I even pull the twirl move on her.
We sit back down and I ask if she wants to go for Round 2 of dancing, but she says she doesn’t want to just have her friend sit there. We talk for a bit and it’s slipped in that she has a boyfriend. I then say that her friends should be dancing too, so we all get down to boogie. It’s been over a year since Prague and clubbing. Dancing is too way fun.
She later mentions that my friend hasn’t shown yet. A bit awkward. I end up getting another drink. It turns out that one of the friends actually knows Lady Gaga since she was an NYU student before becoming who she is now. Apparently Lady Gaga had just called or texted. I know it’s hard to believe, but the friend calls her “Stef,” which is Gaga’s real first name, Stefani. She shows me her phone and I see “Germ An.” Later, I find out that those part of Gaga’s real last name. That’s so weird.
The girl from class goes to get a drink and I end up dancing forever with one of her friends. Then they all join and there’s the obvious “guy that dances over to dance with the girls, but they don’t want to dance with him so they try to avoid and ignore him dancing.”
After a while, they decide that they need to go back. They end up leaving. I stay a bit looking to see if I know anyone there. By 2:30ish, I leave. I walk over to McDonalds. A fun night.

After a while, they decide that they need to go back. They end up leaving. I stay a bit looking to see if I know anyone there. By 2:30ish, I leave. I walk over to McDonalds. A fun night.

Haven't Posted in a While
February 13, 2009
While walking to meet up the guys, I get a call from Danielle. Two days ago, she told me on Stickam that she’s running away from home to Michigan and she’s only 17. I tell Atron that she’s going to do that because he’s known her better than I do for a while. Earlier today, I get a call from Atron that his mother and the police called him about it. He ends up giving my number because he thinks that I know more.
I miss the police’s call and call them back. I give information that I don’t really know anything. He asked for some personal info like last name, address, and DOB. I didn’t really care since I wasn’t involved and I’ve never even met her. Anyway, the call from Danielle. She says that she’s home and that everything’s better/okay. She apologizes that I had to get involved or what not.
I meet CNF, Josh, and Evan at San Loco. We walk to a nearby bar where Stefan is with friends. I suddenly realize that there is a bunch of Prague people there. I say Hi to them. We depart quickly because Stefan is meeting his new girlfriend. Yes, surprised and great for him!
It’s interesting that a few of the people don’t even notice me. I guess it’s a bit of a compliment towards the new DWeez 2.0. Josh and Evan decide to bitch out for the night. CNF and I go to the crowded Ace Bar that we’ve never been to. It’s crowded, but they have Miller High Life for $3. We stand around for a bit and CNF me a bit about familial restraints on dating and stuff. Though I tell it to him straight that he should worry about getting relationship first and that it’s not an issue until that occurs.
We then go back an unnamed bar on the same block that we’ve been to a few times to sit around and grab a Yuengling. CNF is hungry and we go to vegetarian Indian place where he gets two dosas. He then goes home and I go home for a bit more drinking before I go to McDonald’s for the second night a row. I get a Big Mac meal, but drop a large portion of the fries. I then get another hamburger and small fries. You gotta put those fries INTO the sandwich.
February 14, 2009
Jonah and CNF get dinner and they end up heading to Josh’s at 11:00ish. I go too. Before I leave, I’m pretty shitfaced from pregaming. By the time I get to Josh’s, drinking has pretty much halted to a stop. You gotta check yourself before you wreck yourself.
Josh has two small joints that Jonah surprisingly joins in on. I planned on only taking 1 hit, but I end up taking 2-3. The drunk is really easy to control if you have experience like me. Even at the most shitfaced, I’m quite the eloquent orator. However, the weed just throws it into overdrive and I just slump into a mess. I have my head down for most of the night and end up leaving with CNF.
By the time I get back, I’m not too bad, but I’m hungry again so I go to get a $5 footlong. I go for a refill and after I get one, I find out that it costs $.50. Wow, I never knew fountain drinks could charge on refills. That’s so bullshit.
February 19, 2009
CNF says that he’s going to cook dinner for people. I suggest a lot of stuff to add to it, but he doesn’t say much about it. I go over to his place at 5:00ish and Atron’s older sister, Ellyse, and Stefan are there. I help CNF cook the chili. It turns out fine with brown rice.
Then again, that personally as one person takes me an hour to make with prep. I would’ve way more crazy with things. We also grab a few beers with dinner. Stefan and Ellyse leave by 9:00-10:00. Candice and her b/f then come and Josh, CNF, and them two smoke some weed. I’m fine and only take a small puff. Josh and I then go to get beer. Jonah by then shows up. I then have to look for cigarettes which is a real bitch and I eventually find a Duane Reade that takes too long because them Brooklyn peoples cause issues.
When I get back, it turns out that CNF is throwing up in the bathroom. He comes out in a bit and talks to us for a bit then runs back into the bathroom. He literally onto had three beers and some chili, so I guess it was eating too much and the weed. It sucks and I feel bad for him. We eventually leave before 12:00 because I do have class tomorrow at 9:30.
February 20, 2009
CNF comes in. We go to this very dim lit, datey place for coffee. I guess that’s a bit awkward, it’s near NYU campus. There are other couples there and then there’s him and me at a table. What the fuck…We then have nothing to do and go to Fat Cat again, grab a few beers. We there a bit, then go back home.
February 21, 2009
There’s an NYU Facebook event thingy. It’s at Sidebar, which is near Union Square, only a 10ish minute walk. I go myself because no one else wants to go. I’ve done this before. Am I going to be an idiot and just sit home myself? Nah, fuck it, I go. Last night I went, it was pretty awkward, but it’s still good to see people and such. It’s way crowded and the “ratio” is amazing. I see Courtney and Danielle from Prague. I also speak to Liz from Prague for a bit. She notices that I look different because I guess from the dress and the contacts. I guess I take it as a compliment.
I then run into a girl from my Spanish class who’s drunk and too happy to see me. A lot of the night is walking through the crowd and trying to find people that I have some contact with so I can say Hi. There’s an awkward gay situation where I’m trying to walk through this area and a guy from behind grabs my waist for a second. I’m too bored and non-confrontational to do or say anything. How weird. I run through three beers through the night for $15.
There’s another strange situation that girl grabs my arm while she’s walking through the crowd. I guess it’s my amazing confidence that I pull my hand away, assume she was trying to bring her friend through the crowd, and just walk away. I also recognize this girl from two semesters ago when my roommate had a party. My roommate, his friend, and I all mentioned her that day as “hot Hispanic dress girl.”
The last time I did something like this I left pretty quickly, but I ended up staying till 2-3:00ish.
February 22, 2009
Evan wants to do stuff tonight. He says that people might be at Sidebar again tonight. Back to back. However, we don’t really know people there so we end up leaving. We go to the store and get a cider and Magic Hat Raspberry beer. The cider is really delicious. It really tastes like actual apple juice, but it’s 5.5% (high) alcohol. The magic Hat smells really strong of raspberry and it’s great. We go to his place to have it while watching some YouTube basketball highlights. I end up leaving by 2:00ish.

Part of a Week
February 6, 2009
I find out that Evan’s going to be around tonight. Jenn takes a train into the city. I meet up with Jenn and we go to Evan’s by 11:00ish. Jonah comes over too and we end up meeting CNF and Josh outside. By now, there’s been drinking flowing. Jenn starts talking about all these guys she’s texting and stuff, but wouldn’t do anything about it. A tease, horrible. We go to Ace Bar, which is in the East Village. We went there last time people were in the city. You don’t need ID to get in and it’s $4 Black and Tans.
We stay there for a while until we find out that Jenn missed her 3:19 train. We sit around at Evan’s common room for a while. There, I interrogate Jenn about her being a friend to CNF. I actually don’t get much out of her that she wouldn’t say Yes to if she asked him out. Evan and Jonah get furious at me for being an amazing interviewer, but that’s their loss. She takes the 5:00 something train, we all depart. A good night.
February 7, 2009
I find out in the afternoon Bolanos and Tim are coming down to Brooklyn because there’s a tribute show for J-Dilla. I start pre-gaming at 8:00ish. I leave by 9:00ish. I take the subway uptown so I can take the L down to Williamsburg. My pregame was really good and I meet them by 10:00ish. It’s only $5 to get in and my ID clears. Perfect record so far.
I grab a beer for $5. Then I get one of the deals, bourbon and a Bud for $7. It’s not really a concert really, but more of a bar/club/venue thingy. They play his music and a few guys on stage just rep the stage to keep it entertaining. I get well drunk. Tim decides to get back to Binghamton instead of staying in Staten Island like they planned. I get dropped off blocks away from me, which is good because then I don’t need to take an hour subway ride back. I speak to Spamps for a while on the phone. I end up sleeping by 5:00 AM I think.
February 12, 2009
CNF and I are bored so he comes into the city. We meet up at my place and go to Fat Cat. We both have a couple beers and decide to leave. He goes to Tuck Shop and he ends up leaving early. It’s a good night going out since I don’t have class on Friday.
I end up walking to McDonald’s late at night because I’m starved. Starved + drinking = Fiending.
I’m eating fast and I realized that I should’ve gotten a drink too. I go to get a drink, then I turn around and find out that the person there had thrown out the rest of my food. Fuckin hell. I walk out in a storm and email McDonalds. I’m too drunk to complain to the guy.
I find out that Evan’s going to be around tonight. Jenn takes a train into the city. I meet up with Jenn and we go to Evan’s by 11:00ish. Jonah comes over too and we end up meeting CNF and Josh outside. By now, there’s been drinking flowing.

Superbowl Weekend
January 24, 2009
While, I looked forward to my Con Law; Age of Terror class, I could tell that it isn’t heading the right direction by the first class. The entire class is taken up by a silly exercise of asking people what they personally feel about torture. Obviously, people have to have their own little opinions and it just become a mess of nothingness. An appropriate question would be, “What is the international/federal law on torture? How has it changed throughout time? How has it been applied recently in this age of terrorism?” Asking, “What do you personally feel about torture?” is absolute Bullwinkle.
The next class involves another one of these questions, “What if hypothetically, Guiliani dccided to shut off all of Manhattan right after 9/11?” We do touch a bit on the issues of federalism and constitutional rights about this issue, but then it goes onto another guessing fest. Then the class after goes into personal opinions on war, whether people supported aggression, pacifism, whatever rules of law, etc. So far, this class really has had little objective learning and almost all useless heresy of people’s opinions that I could care less about.
January 30, 2009
I’m told that people are going to Josh’s early, which is good. I get there by 9:00ish to start an early night. I’ve pregamed and work on a bit of vodka and ice water there. We sit around hang out with CNF, Josh, Jonah, and Stefan. Jonah tells me about the almost $600 meal he had with Stefan at Momofuku.
Stefan ends up leaving early because he’s tired. We watch an episode of Flight of the Concords, which is decent, but not something I really want to do when hanging out with people. We then go out for a food/beer run. Only beer for me please.
I get a large bottle of Sam Adams.
January 31, 2009
I wake up by 11:00ish to get some Magic business done. I randomly see two good Magic friends that I know from Flushing there. It’s not far, only in the 20s Ave. I get back home, slack off and starting drinking. I call around and nothing really is happening, so it’s a night by myself. At 1:00ish, I end up going to Slainte across the block because I want some beer. I get a Bud Lite for $5. I then try to class it up with a Yuengling, turns out that’s also $5. Why the fuck did I get a Bud? And why are they priced the same?
I then go back to the apartment and sit around a bit. Near 4:00, I get a call from Stefan that he’s in the East Village. I go out to meet with him. We find out that nothing’s open by now. We then go to the store to get some tallboys. We get back and speak for a while with the beers. He leaves after an hour or so. I realize by 5:30 that I need to stop drinking. I sleep by 7:00.
