i go to new york

JK um well the block I live on is having their annual biggest-event-of-the-year block party on Saturday, so I'll be at that.

Coincidentally by being in NY I'm going to miss my own local block party, or "summer fete" in Britisher parlance. No bingo extravaganza for me this year :(

Also thinking about going to see Fanfare Ciocarlia in Central Park on Sunday.

going to see Dr Zhivago on Sat nite

flea market at oldschool noize dude bar 'daddy's' in brooklyn; i will be selling records. some other folks are selling tie dye shirts, tchotchkes, granola... that is daytime

am I going to melt y/n

nah it's cooled off some. it's 85 here, last week it was 95 and extra humid-y.

some other folks are selling tie dye shirts, tchotchkes, granola

disgusting hippies

i woke up last night because i was too cold. it was awesome.

Yay! Forecast for next week is 33-37 though :(

I wouldn't mind melting if it wasn't for those daily forecast thunderstorms THAT NEVER HAPPEN!

If it's too cloudy to see Manhattan Stonehenge tomw, Cheap Trick is playing free in Coney.

Isn't a certain Finnish fellow supposed to be here around now?

has been incommunicado on the board

atypically reserved

Theory: he realized late in the game that there wasn't gonna be time to fap w/us, and feels bad abt it?

i love his last post:

"Ah, okay. I read Amanda Palmer's Wikipedia page, and it seems she's some sort of an attention-seeker?"

his work here is done

wait, no it's not, he has to run the disco poll

We could go for a drink and put a picture of Tuomas on the table and say his name three times. Maybe he'd turn up then.

Jon Lewis theory otm.

Maybe he has been burning the candle at both ends, as the poor thing is wont to do.

is the candle a penis

slightly less awful today. woke up last night because i was too cold. splitting headache today. may have put my a/c on a bit too much.

how terrible an idea is it to buy furniture on craigslist? will i get bed bugs? is it something people do?

have bought on cl: tables, chairs, bookcases etc
would buy on cl: sofa in decent shape
would not buy on cl: mattress

I wouldn't do it. Not worth it if you draw the short straw.

ive bought most of my furniture on craigslist, but wouldnt buy a mattress

may have put my a/c on a bit too much.

inconceivable

I have pretty much lost my voice after four days in NYC. Probably a combination of pollution and a/c?

A/C will do that.

i was in new york this past weekend, super fun. you guys ever eat those fried octopus balls? in that small place with like, maximum capacity 3 customers? so good

it's an ikea sofa and armchair, allegedly 1 year old (and i believe it from the photos)

hmm

wanted this one http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fuo/3924788356.html but may have low-balled the offer. no reply.

the guy http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fuo/3938477349.html seems reasonable from his texts (ha) and i've talked him down from the asking price

what if i get bed bugs and then i die?

cool comes w/ an ipad

just carry it home in the nyc sun, that should be hot enough to roast the bugs

if i pay my bill on the ConEd website by giving them my routing and account #, and they now say i don't owe them any money, when should the money actually disappear from my account?

like a day or two, i think?

I don't know what you delicate blossoms are complaining about, I smoke AND sleep in the AC, and apart from being so dehydrated that my eyelids stick to my eyeballs in the morning, I'm absolutely fine.

otm

i have a headache, but i doubt it's from the a/c. it's more likely from the sweating all day everyday.

and not staying hydrated properly.

What do you mean, not staying hydrated. I watched you drink at least 36oz of beer last night, beer has water in it.

i was driving and walking around all day and had nothing to drink but coffee, it was sooooo not a good idea.

also, there are 16 ounces to the pint not 12.

laurel doesn't do 'pints'

Oh, whoops. I knew pint glasses were 16oz, I just did the math wrong.

Multiplication is hard.

I say roll the dice on the couch

If you get bedbugs burn your apt down

we turned on the a/c and I immediately got sick, like I do every year when it gets turned on

Probably all the mold that grew in there over the winter is getting blown out

Do ppl generally remove their window ac between brutal annual sun death epochs?
