Random Facts

Here are a few intersting things that happened this weekend:

1. While enjoying a delightful dinner at Gnocco on Friday night a guy walked in with a garbage bag full of what appeared to be giant glow in the dark koosh balls. It isn't unusual to have people try to sell you flowers or lighters during dinner but this was a first. We obviously had to buy one and spent the rest of the night pretending we were at Crobar while in fact we were at Drop Off Service in the east village. Props to that place for having a killer juke box and props to my friends for getting overly excited every single time one of their songs came on.

2. A couple of my raver buddies (read: they go to Crobar once a month) downloaded the techno version of the Brokeback Mountain theme song onto my computer. Everyone should listen to it at least once.

3. The two mice that had been inhabiting the garbage can in my kitchen for the past week seem to have relocated. I kind of miss them doing back flips off the fridge when I would come home at night.

4. I got falsely accused of stealing a bottle of vodka from a liquor store in Brooklyn.

5. I went to Union Pool for the first time and now my coat smells like a camp fire and I think I pulled a muscle while showing off my cheerleading routine. It was either the herkie or the splits that really got me.

6. I waited in line for 20 minutes just to get into Trader Joes yesterday and then had to wait for at least 30 minutes in order to check out. It was out of control but I'm glad they finally opened one in the city.
