Well, my trip to New York was pretty damn fun, but, unlike many of the times when I go out a’drinkin’, there aren’t any truly epic stories.  So here are the greatest hits:

  • I got to see Rabbit, Duck, Anna, Theo, Mary K8, and Alex Lamb so that was all good, especially given the dearth of people my own age in my area.
  • I met Theo’s girlfriend, who seemed surprisingly normal.
  • I think I spent roughly 60 dollars, 50 of which was spent on booze.
  • I ended up sleeping on a cute girl’s floor and had to find my way back to Theo’s the next morning.  One would think this would be an exiting story but really it’s not.  Mainly because I’m not quite sure how I got from the bar to her apartment as I apparently blacked out about an hour from 1-2 am, which is what I get for ordering that last round of jack and coke.  Anyway it was very nice of her to deal with my drunken ass and allow me to sleep there.  Also I woke her up at 8:30 in the morning because I couldn’t get back to sleep, had been up for an hour, and was bored.  I don’t regret this at all (although I probably should)
  • I missed my train the next day, which coupled with my utter lack of sleep (see: sleeping on a floor, setting alarm for 7 am…why? je ne sais pas) left me quite burnt out by the time I got home.

Anyway, it was all in all a pretty great trip.  With my recent trip to DC also a success, I’m kinda into this visiting people thing, although I probably won’t be able to do so again till Clambake (of course I just realized that’s in less than 3 weeks).  Plus all this city-walking is preparing me for my big move to Chicago, which is in two days.

Finally, while on the train/passing out at home between football games, I watched the complete first season of the Showtime series Dexter, which has the distinction of being based on the only book on my overstuffed bookshelves that I haven’t read (Darkly Dreaming Dexter. Note: I have no idea why I haven’t read this or how it got there).  All that aside, the show is pretty damn good although I did guess what the big twist was going to be at the end of the season (yes, I’m bragging.  Deal with it).  Basic Plot Synopsis: Dexter is a serial killer who works as a forensics tech for the police.  I don’t really know what else to say aside from the fact that it’s good (especially the guy that plays Dexter).

As mentioned above, I’m moving to Chicago on Wednesday so the next entry in this exciting little blog will be written in a different time zone (exciting, eh?).
