I've come down from my week of slight fame, having been a little too successful in having that disconnect between my real name and the blog. Ah well. Great run though. I got mad comments, met another Wes alumna, and most importantly, got my little (well, big) ego stroked and made everyone terribly jealous. It was a good week to be me -- minus all that interviewing stuff.
Ant made up for his party absence with dinner -- though true to our CP time natures, we missed the movie portion of the evening and then just lost interest. We spent hours at 419 where my friendly bartender teased me for getting there "5 hours early" at 9:30 and also refilled my port (for free and without prompting) out of the goodness of his heart. Home bars are where it's at for real! The previous night I was where I always am on a Thursday, i.e. Sapph, playing guinea pig for the bartenders since the crowd was kinda slow. When I walked through the door, everyone was saying that I should throw a party every week because of the turnout. Don't I know it? Unfortunately, I need the main priority taken care of before the smaller stuff can fall into place.
Speaking of that, Shady and I are almost like straight up buddies now. Fucking craziness. I'm even tempted to remove the Shady descriptor. Then again, we haven't seen each other in the real life sense since those episodes where he resembled a kid trying to have fun on his mom's watch. Even when we were as cool as we ever were (read: not especially except for limited circumstances), we didn't hang out, per se. We've always had our common interests: writing, music, similar opinions on "scene" shit going on around town, but obvious disparities: being from different places, rarely being in NYC at the same time, that are commonalities can be construed as low level interests on my part but that he's seriously doing the writing (and boy, am I fucking jealous about that!), music, and scene things. And that he has the capacity to be shady and prickish, but that's something that can be said about many around town. Myself included I'm sure. Anyways, he and I are in the same job boat, so we've spent a fair amount of days bitching too each other and trying to keep our spirits up and all that shit. The world has turned on its ear for sure.
