On Saturday a whole bunch of us went out to a late brunch to celebrate Gurj's birthday! Here's the lovely birthday girl showing off one of her presents: a g-string made out of candy! ˆ jeet ˆ birthday ˆ panties ˆ

Hahaha. Cuh-lassy! ˆ jeet ˆ birthday ˆ panties ˆ

After we were finished eating at Kate's, we went over to the dog park so that Edie and Monkey could play. ˆ dog park ˆ

Also, I dropped my camera AGAIN and now when I try to use the zoom it takes janky photos like this! Blargh. ˆ jeet ˆ leigh ˆ sarah ˆ dog park ˆ

Leigh shows off her huge, still-developing bruise from when she was "doored" while riding her bike a few days prior. (That's when someone flings open a car door - usually a taxi door - without looking over their shoulder to ensure that no one's traveling in the bike line). ˆ leigh ˆ bruise ˆ ouch ˆ

Ouchie. ˆ leigh ˆ bruise ˆ ouch ˆ

When I got home that evening, there was a package waiting for me at the apartment! A few days prior, I'd gotten an email from a guy named Dave who does PR for a 80sTees.com. While browsing the web, he'd found a few entries where I joke about looking like "Sweep the Leg Johnny" from the Karate Kid and hooked me up with some sweet Cobra Kai shirts! ˆ me ˆ cobra kai ˆ sweep the leg johnny ˆ

No Mercy! (Thanks again for the shirts, Dave! After I received the shirts, I spent like two hours on 80sTees.com reminiscing about TV shows I'd totally forgotten about!) ˆ me ˆ cobra kai ˆ gun show ˆ

Later on Saturday night, I met up with Brandon... ˆ brandon ˆ me ˆ

...and we went over to the Annex to see David's band, Apartment, play a show. ˆ david c ˆ apartment ˆ band ˆ

My new favorite guy was in the crowd. See him in the plum-colored, velour track-suit up there on the right? ˆ apartment ˆ band ˆ

Here he is in all of his glory! I liked him so much. He totally looked like he could be Aleksey Vayner's even more-Russian cousin! ˆ velour ˆ

Xiaoting and Karen! ˆ karen ˆ xiaoting ˆ

After the show was over, I went to MisShapes for a little while, stole little Ms. Leigh Lezark, and dragged her back east in a cab... ˆ leigh ˆ taxi ˆ

...and then we went BACK to the Annex!

Sometimes I like to have a mellow Sunday all to myself... ˆ me ˆ visor ˆ

...where I just kick back and chill in my pink Mets visor. Hahah. Actually, these are the only pics of a lost Sunday I spent at Karen's house watching TV and eating takeout. (And that's totally Karen's not-ironic-at-all, pink Mets visor!) Ha! ˆ me ˆ visor ˆ

On Tuesday night, I went to the Bowery Ballroom to see Sam Champion play. ˆ band ˆ sam champion ˆ

They really liked the publicity photos I'd taken of them a couple of months earlier and wanted me to shoot some pics of them playing live. I shot a ton of photos, but sort of hated them all. Meh. ˆ band ˆ sam champion ˆ

On Tuesday night, I met up with this little peanut and Brandon at 151. ˆ jeet ˆ pretty ˆ

We sorta ended up getting pretty drunk. Here's Brandon walking like an Egyptian and showing up his busty-naked-lady arm tattoo! ˆ brandon ˆ jeet ˆ

Then I guess we took photos making angry faces? ˆ jeet ˆ angry ˆ

Brandon's was really good! Growing up on Long Island means he had lots of time to perfect his "hard as nails" stare. ˆ brandon ˆ angry ˆ

Then I started doing my David Brent "find yourself in the hotseat, yeah?" face that always... ˆ me ˆ david brent ˆ

...makes Gurj launch into hysteric fits of laughter. ˆ jeet ˆ laugh ˆ

See? ˆ jeet ˆ laugh ˆ

Yep, a full-minute later and as long as I keep pointing at my crotch and biting my lip, she'll just keep on laughing. ˆ jeet ˆ best ˆ laugh ˆ

Hahaha. Wiping the tears of crotch-pointing-inspired laughter away. ˆ jeet ˆ cry ˆ laugh ˆ

Here's Gurj's very own "David Brent Face." ˆ jeet ˆ best ˆ david brent ˆ

At some point in the night, we all had our phones out on the table and we realized that we all have a the same Sidekick3 phone (because we are all basically 13 year-old girls that IM each other incessantly). ˆ jeet ˆ sidekick ˆ

"Hi, Mom? It's Brian. Can you pick Brandon, Gurj and me up from the mall in an hour? No, not the Ledgewood Mall, the Rockaway Mall. Yeah, ok. Meet you by the Cinnabon! Thanks, Mom!" ˆ brandon ˆ me ˆ sidekick ˆ

There were more drinks and more photos - but I think we've embarrassed ourselves enough already. So I just leave you with this one for good measure. Haha. ˆ jeet ˆ tongue ˆ ugly face ˆ

On Friday night, Meredith and I went over to Angels & Kings because Sarah and Karen were doing their thing there. ˆ karen ˆ sarah ˆ dj ˆ

Gurj and Meredith hated the way they looked in this photo so they asked me to take another one. ˆ jeet ˆ meredith ˆ

There! Much better! ˆ jeet ˆ meredith ˆ monkeyface ˆ ugly face ˆ

Brandon and I admiring... ˆ brandon ˆ me ˆ

...Quinn's sick robot dance moves! ˆ quinn ˆ the robot ˆ

A little after 2am, Gurj started calling our attention to a totally wasted couple that was sitting next to us. They were both hammered... ˆ jeet ˆ get a load of this guy ˆ

...and it was totally apparent that the girl had a big crush on the boy and was just WAITING for him to make a move. Check her out here caught in the midst of an "OMG, you're SO FUNNY!" face. ˆ jeet ˆ

Hahaha. Check out Quinn and Gurj laughing in this photo. So great. Despite the girl's totally slutty trolling-for-a-poling boots and almost 30 minutes of all of us repeatedly yelling out "Kiss her! What the fuck, kiss her!," the dude never got up the gumption to make a move and the girl's friends (who were also watching this whole thing go down) eventually came over at and dragged her away. Booooo! ˆ jeet ˆ quinn ˆ

After the girl left, Gurj demonstrated what the boy WOULD NOT be experiencing that evening. Wah-wah!

Me and Quinn! ˆ me ˆ quinn ˆ

Joe doing his best to look tough while looking after Jenne's purse. ˆ joe ˆ

Any time Meredith gets a couple of drinks in here, she wants to dress me up like a girl. So I end up with bobby pins in my hair... ˆ me ˆ meredith ˆ us ˆ

...and sexy little pony tails like this. ˆ me ˆ meredith ˆ ponytail ˆ us ˆ

Hahaha. I don't remember why Sarah's doing the whole "me have Chinee eyes" thing, but I'm sure there's a perfectly-good, non-racist explanation for it. Nah, I'm just kidding. She's totally a racist! RACIST! ˆ karen ˆ sarah ˆ

On Saturday morning, Fatty and I met up with... ˆ fatty ˆ sarah ˆ

...Brandon and Sarah for some La Palapa Mexican brunch. ˆ brandon ˆ me ˆ

After brunch, Matt Rubano called me and asked me if I wanted to go see Ricky Gervais do stand up at Madison Square Garden later that night! ˆ ricky gervais ˆ tickets ˆ

So spent the rest of the afternoon holed up in my little computer closet room watching episodes of The Office in preparation.

The seats that Matt got were totally sick! We were like 10 rows back from the stage! The lights went down and (a totally unannounced!) David Bowie came out in a tuxedo and introduced Ricky by singing the "pathetic little fat man" song from Extras. (I love how you can still somehow totally tell this is a picture of David Bowie even though it's totally blurry). ˆ david bowie ˆ sorta famous ˆ

After the song intro, Ricky came out and did an awesome stand up show. Thanks for thinking of me, Matt! ˆ ricky gervais ˆ sorta famous ˆ

Later that night I met up with Rina for a drink (which I think was only the second time I'd ever seen her in a karaokeless environment!). ˆ me ˆ rina ˆ

On Sunday night, Meredith and I went over to Ellen's apartment on Orchard Street for a rooftop BBQ! ˆ ellen ˆ roof ˆ

Here's Meredith enjoying Piper's cornchip-scented ears. Mmmmmmm! Piper has the longest tongue in the world. When she closes her mouth, the tip of her tongue is always peeking out because it's too big to fit in her mouth! ˆ meredith ˆ piper ˆ dogs ˆ roof ˆ tongue ˆ

Meredith stuck her tongue out to do an impression of Piper and right when I snapped the picture, Piper (who is a notorious face-licker) saw Meredith's tongue sticking out and WENT FOR IT! Hahaha. I love this photo soooo much. ˆ meredith ˆ piper ˆ best ˆ dogs ˆ lick ˆ roof ˆ tongue ˆ

...eating treats. ˆ ellen ˆ jeet ˆ hoodie ˆ roof ˆ

Three cheeseballs. ˆ me ˆ meredith ˆ us ˆ

Someone who came to the party drew Ellen this amazing picture of Piper as a puppy! (This is my favorite photo of Ellen in the whole wide world!) ˆ ellen ˆ piper ˆ best ˆ drawing ˆ

Here's the photo that the drawing is based on! Piper the puppy bounding across the carpet at Leigh's house and licking her chops with her huge tongue! (How fucking cute is this photo?) ˆ piper ˆ best ˆ dogs ˆ puppy ˆ tongue ˆ

Around 8pm, Meredith, Gurj and left the party and headed down the street because we heard that it was...

...twenty cent taco day ($0.20!!!) at San Loco! Mmmmmmmmm! After eating waaaay too many tacos, we decided to also get ice cream! Hahah.

On the way back, Gurj and Meredith stopped to touch these sluts' big, fake wabs. ˆ boobs ˆ sluts ˆ

Hahahaha. Best. Photo. Ever! ˆ jeet ˆ meredith ˆ hoodie ˆ ice cream ˆ
