9/23/09 - "the night i lost my 'happy tree friends' virginity"

hello, blog. it's been awhile. almost four months to be exact. time flies when you're living in bushwick. the neighborhood is swell. i mean, i could lie to you by saying that i'm become really entrenched in bushwick's d.i.y. art/music scene and that i have made hundreds of new hipster (or should i say, 'yipster') friends and thus alternate my evenings by attending todd p. shows at market hotel or scoring some coke and uber rare soul vinyls at starr space, but i'll spare you the bullshit. truth be told, i don't even own a fixed-gear bike! (shame). and believe it or not, i am tattoo-free and i shower on a daily basis (gasp!). truth, i'm a bona fide bushwick dud. in fact, it was only LAST week that i became a patron of tandem (the bar/brunch hot spot on troutman that is literally RIGHT NEXT DOOR to my apartment). i'd like to say that it was worth the four months of anticipation (er, foreplay to imbibing), but it too was sort of a dud. mad props to their ipod, though, for playing "s.o.s" by abba, an eternal pop gem that has since been reintroduced to my itunes (on heavy rotation). additional props for serving me a blue point in this delightfully kitsch ceramic mug.
