Fun Times

Well I have been without internet since Tuesday at Goose and CB Radio's and I don't have enough time to blog at work. I am now at Mateo and Coriander's place where there is internet abound! I don't have many pictures to share with you this time around, but a lot has happened in the last week. Get ready for a long blog.

Last week I started my new job at Galison, with CB Radio, and so far so good. I feel bad because I am asking so many questions, but that is what happens when you start a new job. I just hope I can slowly stop asking so many questions.

Saturday night Goose and I headed to the East Village to meet up with TB, Mateo, Coriander, BH and DKNY. We hit up a couple of bars and just hung out while drinking some beer. There was one bar we went to that we had to stand behind the cone when outside. We were standing and barely on the other side of the cone, but the bouncer kept telling us to get on the other side of the cone. I'm not sure what the cone did, but we followed the rules.

Sunday I went hiking at Harriman State Park in upstate New York. Coriander had her mom's car for the weekend so she drove Mateo, BH, DKNY and myself up to the park. It was a beautiful day for a hike and the park was really nice too. There were no real trails just some markers you had to follow to stay in the right direction. You could walk however you wanted to get to the next marker. I love being able to hike and not have to walk in a single file line. I'm pretty sure I was a fifth wheel on the hike, but that is the price soon to be family has to pay. Sorry guys.

This week was my first full work week. I also got a paycheck this week; it was small, but hey a paycheck is a paycheck. I had to deposit the check into my new bank account as well. I haven't had to deposit a real check in 5 years; what a weird situation for me to be in again. Don't worry though I am getting my direct deposit set up.

On Thursday night I brought CB Radio with me to look at a sublet in Williamsburg, but of course when I called to tell her I was there to see the place she said that she already gave the place away to someone else. I even told her to call or email me if anything changed about the apartment or time in which I was supposed to see the place, but I guess that was a little too much to ask. After the apartment fiasco, and dinner at Goose and CB Radio's, I moved to Mateo and Coriander's place. They aren't very far apart from each other, but I didn't feel like wheeling 2 suitcases and 3 bags the 8 or 10 blocks that it is. I got a car and told him where I needed to be dropped off, but he proceeded to pass the place up. I made him turn around and then paid the guy and went into Mateo and Coriander's. When I was inside I counted my change and figured out that he gave me too much change back. It was supposed to be a $7 ride and I gave him a $2 tip which means I should have had $11 left from my twenty, but I had $16 left. I only paid $2 for the ride and gave him a $2 tip; pretty sweet deal!

Friday night was the New York Magazine 40th birthday party. TB got all of us in for free, well BH and DKNY paid to get in, and we were VIP no less. We were in a special section, where we couldn't mingle with the common folk, with free drinks and appetizers and pastries. This is what living the New York life is all about right? It was an awesome show, but some of us had too much to drink of the free alcohol. We never made it to a bar after the show like we were planning on.

And I never made it back to Mateo and Coriander's to sleep either. I forgot the keys to the apartment at my work that night and luckily found out before I said bye to everyone. I would have been screwed if I would have found out later, especially since my phone died earlier that night. Teed's worst nightmare come true. BH and DKNY were kind enough to let me sleep on the air mattress for the night.

In the morning I had to go get the keys to work from CB Radio and then head into Manhattan to retrieve the keys. Mind you I was doing all this in the same clothes I had on the whole day yesterday. I finally found the keys at work and headed back to the apartment where I could change clothes and finally do a little relaxing. What an event that I was not prepared to make.

Now I am sitting alone in this apartment typing this blog for all of you. It is a brief summary of my first week or I guess 10 days in the big city. I hope you all enjoy the blogs to follow, but they may not be quite as eventful as this one.

I lost the keys to the apartment; no baby on board to make me extra emotional during the ordeal.
