recap of this weekend...

so on friday i went to a nice dinner party at joy's. it was basically her roommates, me, andrew and a friend of one of her roommates--errr...6 of us. it was really nice. i love her roommates. they are just the best situation. we had a relatively traditional lao meal--lettuce wraps with some herbs and veggies and either sauteed shrimp or sauteed beef. i made 3 sauces--a peanut sauce--but--instead of peanuts--i used almonds. it was ok. everyone seemed to like it--but i think peanuts taste better in that incarnation.

then, we watched will and grace while drinking cosmos. now--no tolerance--and an early morning=whoops!

i swear to god i set my alarm. unfortunately, it didn't go off and we were supposed to be at union square at 10am on saturday. i spent the night at joy's cause i have a permanent "sucker" written on my forehead and we woke up at 9:30am. she lives on 109th and union square is on 14th--for those who need some visual. we cabbed it--but even then--we got there a little late--but it was ok. from there--we got into a packed van and headed to flushing/bayside/glen oaks, queens.

joy failed to mention to me what we were doing--but i guess when you have "sucker" written on your forehead--it doesn't really matter what it is you do. haha. anyhow, we get there and it seems we will be going door-to-door to see if the registered voters there would vote for jim gennaro instead of frank padavan. thanks joy. thanks. actually--it wasn't so bad--just the rude awakening was. it's abit strange going door-to-door hungover talking to people about politics when your head is pretty muddled.

then--today, sunday--another rude awakening at 10am--this time to meet up with one of my coworkers for a halloween costume shopping expedition at ricky's on 79th--AFTER all you can eat brunch at blockheads--3 mimosas later--we headed off to the ricky's on 79th. i had no clue about what to dress up as--but of course--ricky's has only 3 kinds of outfits--whore, whorer, or horror. i came out with black nail polish, and a rather cool looking white wig. i am going to totally rock this costume. i figure--it's a vision of a ghost--or something. i figure i'll pair the white wig with extremely pale skin, bright blood red lipstick, black nail polish, heavily kohled eyes, black shirt, black leggings, and black boots--and call it good! not skanky, but hopefully scary in a good way!

i think i'm ready for halloween in boston! i must say--i'm rather stoked about the wig. i love wigs.

tomorrow--off to the hamptons. life is going by way too fast...

Those lettuce wraps and your salad seem like a perfect at-home dinner one night.
