Weather & News Report

I think this weekend broke all sorts of records. Yesterday, New York City basked in the glow of global warming and heated up to 70 degrees. People were wearing shorts and flipflops. I'm sure popsicles were involved and somewhere someone sprung open a fire hydrant.

Friday was nice too--I barely needed a jacket (Cloudveil, that is! Hey-yo!). Here's a picture of my building--strange and kind of pretty, isn't it? Plus, it's right next to the Chrysler Building:




































After work I walked home and stopped by Park Avenue Country Club where an old check was waiting for me. Ed and Kristen, two of the bartenders I worked with at Luna were on, and we caught up. Kristen invited me to dinner with an Editor in Chief she knows at a teen magazine and Ed filled me in on his acting auditions (or lack thereof). See us here:
















After a little while, a 3rd bartender from Luna, Brandon, came in (far right):

















Brandon, if not apparent from the photo, may be the most wild and hyper guy I know. Also one of the funniest. The best nights at Luna were when Brandon and Ed were bartending with a few other star players, and two barbackers, Nobu and Josh. Of course, when Josh died, the mood shifted.

We relied on Ed to give us relationship advice, Brandon to make us laugh. I liked Kristen even more when I started at Park Avenue because she likes to dance behind the bar and flail her arms everywhere. Goofy dancing also endeared me to Sarah Wexler when we met at Esquire. Especially the time when she almost backed into David Granger.

When I came home, I made spaghetti and talked with Nandita. Patrick Couples came over soon after and the three of us drank wine and reminisced about childhood romances, with Couples taking the title of child whore when he admitted his first french kiss was in kindergarten.

A few drinks later, I found out about Adam's engagement. I didn't think it would upset me as much as it did, but now I'm at peace with it and I hope him and his fiance will be happy. Looks like he found himself a keeper:

That woman is so horribly ugly, that it's funny.
