decorum and a pending lawsuit prevent me from going into any great detail regarding last night's romp through manhattan with tracy, jenny, and sadie.
i can tell you, however, that around 2am all three girls' cell phones rang in succession, which, as it turned out, served as something of a friendship barometer because one of their mutual galpals in milwaukee had just had a knockdown dragout with her boyfriend. jenny fell on that grenade and talked with her for about 40 minutes while sadie and tracy and i drank and compared birthmarks.
so, when jenny gets back to the bar all the girls start talking about this poor broken-hearted girl in milwaukee and how she really liked this guy and she's so sensitive and so on. then one of the girls casually brings up the notion that the boyfriend in milwaukee always sort of struck her as being "a bit feminine."
then the girls very gravely took turns listing the damning evidence against this "distant boyfriend," and it surfaced that:
1. her boyfriend likes baking muffins.
2. her boyfriend drinks only wine.
3. her boyfriend drinks said wine while playing his piano, during which times the girlfriend is not allowed to talk.
4. her boyfriend lives with his cat.
5. her boyfriend refuses oral gratification during movie-watching time.
in the ten minutes it took for the girls to compare their gaydar readings, my mental image of this guy went from the Aloof Because He's Obviously Getting Some On The Side Tough Guy to This Guy.
the latter Guy (bonus pic) is the host of this show, which for some mind-bending reason precedes NFL football on the local FOX affiliate. according to his biography, which is funnier than anything i could ever make up, "Marc resides in Oceanside, New York, with his wife, his son, and a house full of pets. He and ['business partner'] Nick still own and operate their pet shop, Parrots of the World, located in Rockville Center, New York."
i guess the point to this post is that it's important to use a non-stick cooking spray when baking muffins, as the paper wrappers can sometimes stick to the hardening batter.

if your eardrums got up the nerve to stage a hostile takeover of your skull and they enslaved your brain so that your sense of hearing made all the key decisions in life, you'd already know that the hong kong is currently the best band in the world.

in an effort to keep you up to date with the very latest goings on in the ever-evolving vida de yours truly, here's a picture from a concert i found myself at sometime this summer:
i was under the impression that this was a good photo when i took it, so, in retrospect, it actually captures the spirit of the moment pretty well. unfortunately, you can not tell that the band (named Cantnkerous) is wearing custom-fit lace masks and the lead singer has the "make me look like my brain is on fire and the smoke is escaping through my ear holes" look:
she drinks budweiser, by the way, which i know because i stood next to her at the bar earlier that night when ordering drinks for myself and ms. stokey. hey jess.
as an added bonus, here's a picture of my chubby head at the detroit airport, which has the trippiest moving sidewalk in the world, designed to make you feel as though you are a pearl in a giant neon oyster. think i'm making it up? fly there and explain to me what else it could possibly be. it's better than anything else in detroit anyway.
