Next Day
Wow am I on a roll today or what? Up at 8, sat at computer with sweaty pj's on a 8:10. TOTALLY caught up on Richard's website which is a load off, all I need to do now is a few more tweaks this evening and it's ready to upload, dead chuffed I am, looking good.
So anyway last night we went out to the Laderhosen Bar over on Morton Street I believe, that USED to be a school and is now a German bar/restaurant. It's great, very basic, with hanging Laderhosen outfits coming from the ceilings and a HUGE wall painting on the back wall that depicts a typical view of German mountains and tiny little houses. To be honest I imaged Julie Andrews popping out of the wall any moment, it was all very bizarre. We had fun, Dwane loves the place, especially the food, which to be honest isn't that great? Well I had fried meatballs with mashed potato and red and wine sauerkraut which I avoid as it's not my favorite thing and the meatballs were not ball shaped AT ALL. No they were like patties more like and slightly burnt underneath, but hey it was fine., The beer was the best, big fuck off pints of HB Lager, well that's what I had anyway, don't know what the others had.
So anyway we got onto the subject of some new people that have moved into the apartment building across the road from ours. Now I know they are new because the previous tenants were two men, and these are now a man and a woman who I must say have APPALLING taste in furniture, oh my god people, this is New York not friggin Ohio......
And also they really are not bothered about their blinds, to the point where myself and Stephen were in bed the other night and I was like "eh Steve naked woman in window", so of course he bolts over to my side of the bed for a good look and we see this woman put her knickers on (no top or anything) AND THEN, pull them down a ways and then, I think, puts a tampax in.....
RIGHT THEN........
So of course we tell Dwane this and he's pissing himself, and then proceeds to complain that in his fuck off huge apartment WITH double deck patio view that he can never see in anyones window. I'll tell you what Dwane let's swap apartments, you have ours and we'll gladly take yours.
Listen I know it sounds gross that we were watching, but come on, everyone watches open windows when people are walking around doing there thing, it's what people do.
Shit even the gay guys with the big christmas tree waved over at me the other evening, we're all watching each other, believe me...
So anyway yesterday afternoon myself and Stephen went to see the preview of his work that's up for auction next Tues (12/13) just to see how they had hung them etc. And to our delight it looks really good, the lighting is great, the room is a good size, so yeah that was pretty cool. What IS NOT cool is the fucking idiot who is organising this thing, he hasn't promoted it, the only preview prior to the auction was yesterday, and then next monday, but only from 2 - 5pm, HELLO everyone's at work you fucking knuckle head. He walked us out and I mentioned why he hadn't put a billboard outside to promote yesterday's preview, to which he replied that he didn't really want JUST ANYONE walking in??
WHY NOT, what's it to you who comes in and takes a look. Are you kidding me with this? So anyway when I got home I wrote him an email asking him to please try and promote the event more, and that he really should put out a billboard for next weeks preview, but I haven't heard from him, clearly I've pissed him off.
Listen there's nothing we can do, legally the I.R.S. own the paintings, so they employ this guy to sell them, and he's very yeah whatever about the whole thing which pissed Stephen and myself off. You know I just want people to show up, that's all, give Stephen some support.
Although, we had better news this morning, as apparently a friend of Stephen's passed by there yesterday (must of turned up just after us) and has said that she wants to purchase at least 2 of them, which is great news, now all we need is a few more people thinking the same thoughts and it will be a good day.
Talking of good days, I'm in a damn fine mood, but I do need to shower and it's getting towards 10 so I'd better get a move on. Actually this evening we're off to Mark and Elizabeth's (the guy I work with) to watch the last episode of "Murphy's Law" that we never saw because the friggin tv stopped working...remember? So yeah they have very kindly invited us over, so 6 pack of beer, order chinese and we're away.....FANTASTIC.
Right then people, have a good day and remember, someone's always watching you!!
