  • jessica’s party in the country. even though the weather sucked, people still swam, the band still played, the grill still grilled, and the drinks were drank. good times had by all.
  • if i’m ever in the bedford, NY area, i know where the key is and the combo to the alarm.
  • this grill kicked ass. a real man’s grill.
  • i met the parents yesterday. and i didn’t make an ass of myself
  • some pics of the ladies
  • “you got me”
  • cooking dinner on friday using only things i could find in the house. it was like that show “doorknock dinners” on food TV, but without the annoying host and stupid acts
  • today is steve’s first day of school in about 8 years.
  • fooled by april’s august residency at Toad in Porter Square. Apparently followed by a september residency at the kendall cafe. highlight of last week was a cover of poison’s “every rose has it’s thorn”. just like every night, has it’s dawwwaaaawwwawwwn…

  • cheap sushi at sushi express
  • yin getting some rooftop lovin’

  • ginza on friday night
  • i methodically went through each and every one of my mp3’s and formatted them with the right ID tags and filenames with the help pf Tag&Replace. And re-ripped every one of my cd’s as mp3’s. and bought a firewire card. all in anticipation on buying a PC ipod when they come out.
  • speaking of which, the apple store in cambridge is so amazingly cool. it almost made me want to buy a mac. now that’s saying a lot.
  • gordon and karen’s new apartment. especially the roofdeck with the sweet collapsible furniture. and then running into them again on sunday at trder joe’s.
  • i ran into the girl who i used to have to play in golf matches in high school at a BBQ on saturday. i hated her then. and lo and behold, she still sucks.
  • steve and lisa’s new apartment in cambridge. how do they always manage to find such cool places?
  • aspasia. although i couldn’t stop watching the guy at the table in front of me who looked like bill gates ans was gnawing on lamb chop bones like a dog while talking to his date
  • jessica gets a shoutout for being my email distraction last week while susanne was travelling. but don’t worry, susanne isn’t jealous ;)
  • it turns out that susanne’s roomate who is moving out was secretly married. for 10 years.
  • i spent a good portion of saturday trying to fix our downstairs toilet. and i’m pretty sure that Snoop Dog sold me that parts at home depot.
  • the parts of a toilet are pretty vulgar sounding. i had to buy a new ballcock shank washer and ballcock lock nut.
  • i finally bit the bullet and bought a digital camera. expect lots of new pictures. most of them nude.
  • pressed grilled veggie sandwiches using my heavy cast iron grill pan as a weight. we’re definitely on to something new here. i’m pretty sure i can mimic chez henri’s cuban sandwiches now. and i already know how to make the plantain chips, and have the buena vista social club cd. if i can learn how to make mojitos…
  • spending sunday afternoon by the pool. and abby didn’t jump on me after she puked.
  • i once again updated my cell phone plan. i now get unlimited nights and weekend and all sort of other minutes for $20 less than i was paying before. yes, that makes no sense. but i don’t care
  • i almost got my hair cut on saturday. almost. the experiment continues…
