the 2 p's and an f

events that occurred in the immediate past:

on friday night i met up with an old college friend and his girlfriend (only the 2nd time i've ever met her). we went to a bar had a few cocktails, left, then went across the street to another bar for some more cocktails--and karaoke (we did not know that upon entering). now, i know it's a cliche for asians to karaoke--but to my defense--the two of them are only partial asians.

i was suckered into performing by myself and unfortunately--my version of hashpipe (weezer) did not do so well with the crowd that chose broadway theme songs, r&b, madonna, and 80s glam rock. oh well. i don't think i tanked it too badly.

it was fun. she seems like a great girl and it was good to see someone from my former life.

events that have occurred enough in the now enough to be called present:

i am a procrastinator and now--it's crunch time. i am trying to find someone to go watch "religulous" with me within the next 2 days because on wednesday--i jet off to boston for the remainder of the week. so it's now or never!

i love bill maher. and he's in it. he is possibly the first person (outside of my father) who really evoked an interest in politics for me. i remember staying up late watching politically incorrect when it first came on--yes this dates me--and thinking--this guy is sharp and witty and unrepentant and i love him.

if it wasn't for bill maher--i might not be as appreciative of jon stewart and stephen colbert as i actually am. for me--he was the grandaddy that came before all of them.

events still to come in the future (and by future i mean for the month of october):

work for a couple of days, "religulous" inbetween, boston for the remainder of the week, "dirty jersey" for a week, the hamptons for 2 days, boston for a weekend--all to be completed before october ends. yay?
