And Meredith. Hahaha.
meredith
After we left the beach, we took the train up to Chelsea and hit Bed, Bath and Beyond to get some pillows and sheets for my new apartment. Meredith kept trying to convince me I needed this sweet-ass Bon Jovi pillow. Hahaha.
meredith
Oooh-la-la!
meredith
On Saturday morning Mer and I got up bright and early and took the A train out to Rockaway Beach! Fuck the Broadchannel shuttle transfer to the 118th St. Beach! We stayed on the A all the way out to 60th Street and go to the (sorta sketchy, but always totally empty) beach out there in the middle of nowhere.
meredith
Here's to new roomies! Opa!
meredith
Meredith cut right to the chase: she popped his lil' Greek Warrior head off so she could drink his delicious licorice-flavored blood.
meredith
Here's Meredith giving a look to the camera that says "I like you enough to buy you a belated b-day cake, but I'm still not quite sure if you're boyfriend material, Disappearo!"
meredith
Yay!
meredith
Our future kitchen.
meredith
Hahaha.
meredith
Mmmmmmmmmmm!

Later that night, Grant, Amanda and I headed over to Fatty's apartment to enjoy the dinner that he and Meredith had whipped up! First a little tomato, basil and mozzarella salad...
meredith
Schubway Schnacks!
meredith
Making silly faces.
meredith
Waiting for the subway.
meredith
Swimming in the ocean + Falling asleep with wet hair = BEACH HAIR!
meredith
Then we pretty much did all the normal beach stuff. You know, swimming, reading, napping, Scrabble playing...
meredith
The View. (heh!)
meredith
Mer was so happy she did a little dance!
meredith
One block later we were on the beach!
meredith
Dead End? Yeah, at the beach!
meredith
A few hours later, we gathered up our stuff and decided it was time to do all the normal post-beach stuff. You know, like get ice pops...
meredith
Later on, I got everybody to get up and do a jump take for my camera. They got it perfect on the first try. Every time I'm having a crappy day, I can look at this pick and it will instantly make me laugh my ass off. Everybody is pulling great faces too (click here for hi-rez version). But the very best thing about this photo is...
meredith
...and managed to be on the subway before 11am. A total record for us!
meredith
...swipe it from me just a few minutes later.
meredith
Meredith and I met up with Sean and Leigh at a bodega in the West Village over by the ACE subway line. We quickly stocked up on sorts of drinks and beach treats...
meredith
And Meredith's totally normal non-beach hair. (How the hell did you not get beach-hair you little sneak??)
meredith
Fatty taking a picture of me taking a picture of him.
meredith
Squinty Fatty and Meredith.
meredith
I woke up early on Saturday morning and went over to Meredith's to wake her up to go to the beach...but not before I snapped a few pics of her sleeping with her one leg up in the air. Hahaha. Then we met up with the Fatty and hopped the subway on out to...
meredith
Hahahah.
meredith
Meredith Silverman: Ketchup Enthusiast.
meredith
Meredith, Seva, Karen and ROB HITT (who laughs at me for knowing all the words to every Lifetime song ever). After everyone had filled their gullet, it was time to head up to the building's sick-ass roof deck to...
meredith
Mer (who looks real pretty in this photo...awwww) and The Fatty.
meredith
...No. 1 Chinese where Meredith managed to wrangle us up some FREE DRINKS! Woooo!
meredith
Sunday Morning Brunch Club at Kate's Joint! Holy shit, remember when we used to do this pretty much EVERY SUNDAY? Clockwise from Left: Sarah, Meredith, Elhaam, Rob Hitt, Brandon, Josh, Ellen, Karen and Leigh!
meredith
On Saturday, I went to a movie with Leigh, Mer and Ellen. Many treats were consumed. Including three Luna Bars. (Luna Bars??? WTF?)
meredith
Hahah.
meredith
...to say hi to her and Nina who were just lounging around making rat faces.
meredith
Meredith also put her sweatshirt on her head and made this face. Most likely, she was mocking Islam (as she's frequently wont to do).
meredith
Dear Lombardi's, I <3 you.
meredith
...this sweet pic of Mer sticking out her boobies. He he he.
meredith
Ross looks like a tired Pappa Bear while Mer watches little Dash tell us about his day.
meredith
...cooking me dinner in her bra and paaaaaaaanties! Hahaha.
meredith
Sexy Joe leaned forward and accidentally put his Sexy Penis right on Meredith's shoulder.
meredith
Oh. My. God. Hahaha.
meredith
...dragged into the mix. Hahahah.
meredith
He dropped trou right as Mer came out for a smoke and somehow she ended up getting....
meredith
So I hung it up and left her a lil' thank you note.
meredith
Before leaving, I left a surprise in the bathroom (er, one that's better than the surprises I usually leave in there!). Meredith was cast as in a model for one of the Apple catalogs and they ended up hanging a huge banner of her up in the Apple store in SoHo. Our friend Lauren worked there at the time and I asked her to save it for me when they took it down (because Meredith's mom was so proud she wanted it. Hahahah).
meredith
On Thursday night, Mer and I went to (fancy!) dinner at Po, my very favorite Italian restaurant in NYC.
meredith
I got home late to find my lovely lady sleeping in her favorite position (feet up in the air crossed at the ankles) and snuck into bed with her, happy to be home. As difficult as my trip was, it was also one of the most rewarding experiences I've ever had - so if you have any interest at all, I highly recommend it. (Although, I found it very hard to keep up the expected practice once I returned to my normal life. According to the Vispassana way, you're supposed to meditate for at least two hours every day, and you're also supposed to abstain from all intoxicants. I managed to stick with the regiment for about 4 months before I stopped daily practice (and started boozing it up again).
meredith
Awwwwww!
meredith
On Monday, Una, Meredith's friend, and my little brother (who lives in DC but was working in NYC for a couple of months) came down to Meredith's to hang.
meredith
Ellen and Mer.
meredith
Afterwards, Meredith and I got something to eat and she pointed out the nipples and bellybutton on a giant bear wearing a sombrero. (Tanuki!)
meredith
Mer and Eric George.
meredith
Meredith and two girls! And we also happened to find...
meredith
Hahaha.

Happy birthday, Mer! I love you!

Then after dinner, we went over to Iggy's to meet up with a bunch and have some pre-dance party drinks. Katie and Mer.
meredith
Hahahaha. Pervy meets Scary.
meredith
On the phone with midnight birthday well-wishers!
meredith
Hahah.
meredith
Nina can't keep her eyes off her own handiwork.
meredith
Ta-dah!
meredith
...and was only too happy to help Meredith achieve the same look.
meredith
Nina had the "bottom halves" action rocking like nobody's business...
meredith
Woo, boob-licking antics!
meredith
Meanwhile, at the other end of the living room, Nina and Meredith were getting wild with the Pixie Stix.
meredith
Me grabbing a hold of two sweet, sweet cans (a Bud Pounder and Sue May's sweet bottom).
meredith
On Tuesday night, Grant, Meredith, Jake and I went down to Amanda's apartment to watch a bunch of movies we'd rented. Meredith fell asleep and was spared.
meredith
Meredith caught me taking a turkey nap on the couch.
meredith
Meredith felt honored when she received her very first chocolate Easter bunny from my parents. (I'll be expecting some chocolate geld come Hannukah, dig?)
meredith
Yo, guess what? Meredith's a huge fucking nerd.
meredith
Rainy Monday. Somehow Sarah managed to talk Merdith and I into seeing the Ashton Kutcher & Bernie Mac remake of Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. (Ok, I concede. As much as I'm reluctant to admit it, it was pretty funny).
meredith
Meredith, Grant and Victoria.
meredith
Meredith dueting with a stranger.
meredith
When we got out of the movie it was snowing and raining at the same time!
meredith
On Friday, Mer and I met up with David and Miye for some dinner and then afterwards headed over to the Sunshine Landmark for the midnight showing of...
meredith
Then we all went to the Pink Pony for a big birthday dinner! (Except I can't remember whose birthday it was...mostly because I am pretty much a horrible person).
meredith
Hahahaha.
meredith
What fun would cooking classes be without a corny chefs hat?
meredith
On Friday Mer got her presents.
meredith
Meredith poses in front of the "beach."
meredith
...and discussed things we wanted to check out over the week.
meredith
With plenty of time to spare before our flight we decided to mack and relax with some McDonald's breakfast.
meredith
After some wonderful dinner and a few rounds of refreshing tropical drinks...
meredith
...the fake-rose and fuzzy white bear set up on our table.
meredith
Not this one.
meredith
Pale, blinky girl on the beach! Pale blinky girl!
meredith
...stayed inside and read (and took creepy photos of ourselves, apparently).
