Some other stuff that happened

I definitely forgot to mention that Timon and I got new tattoos. After months of deliberation we did the deed at Fun City, a Lower East Side tattoo parlour that Lucy visited on her visit here in April. They were super friendly and welcomed us as walk-ins so that everything was taken care of on the spot. We are still waiting on the final healing stages but rest assured, I'll post pics when they're not all scabby and gross.

A very, very exciting development in the employment field has arisen for Timon in the form of an internship/volunteer based position as Staff Writer on a reviews website. You can visit digitalhippos.com and read his first game and music reviews. While the position is unpaid it is a fantastic opportunity to be published and to hone his writing skills. There are also perks like free games and invitation to industry events, premieres and concerts in his capacity as reviewer. Pretty rad stuff. High five Timon!

I have spent a few days with Sophie, exploring the Upper West Side, walking through Central Park when it was way too hot, drinking coffee at Jack's Front Street and getting stuck in the rain while eating Haagen Daaz. On Wednesday Timon and I arranged to meet her on the red steps at Times Square to try and hustle some rush tickets to a Broadway show. The queues were already mega by the time T & I dragged our butts out of bed but luck was on our side and we made it to the end of super-queue and bought $30 partial view tickets to "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying". Starring Daniel Radcliffe. HARRY POTTER!!!! Although I have serious and documented disdain for Daniel Radcliffe as HP I was pretty excited nonetheless. I am a pretty shameless celebrity stalker. We killed the early afternoon by having brunch at the Galaxy Diner, people watching in Bryant Park and drinking copious amounts of coffee. Our seats turned out to be ace (back row of the bottom level) and we only missed the top of the set. The show was fun, brainless and entertaining and John Laroquette was the standout for me. Sure Radcliffe danced impressively and sang in tune but Laroquette was hilarious, hamming it up and convincing the audience that he played it differently every show.

Smarmy bastard......
