I haven’t posted much lately because ever since I got back from New Orleans, I’ve been going non-stop. In the last few weeks…
I bought a new car. My last car was a clunker that I bought for $1200 from some guy on Craigslist, and my car before that was an old hand-me-down. I’m so excited to finally have a nice, new car that I can actually rely on! The only bad part about it is the car payments, but it’s worth it to not have to worry about breaking down on the side of the road every time I go to work.

We saw Louis C.K. perform. Dan and I are huge fans of his work, including all his stand up and TV shows, so we were psyched to find out that he was coming to our area. Of course, all our friends got tickets, too, so we were able to meet up with everyone before the show for dinner and drinks. The show was hysterical, and had me in tears almost the entire time. Definitely one of his best routines yet.
We met Joe Capobianco. Fans of Best Ink will recognize Joe as one of the judges, and he’s a highly respected name in the tattoo industry. The night of Best Ink’s second season premiere, Dan and I went to a party at Joe’s shop in Connecticut and got to meet him. I didn’t want to harass the guy for a picture, but you can catch him on TV every Wednesday night at 10 pm.
We watched G.I. Joe: Retaliation and played mini-golf for Dan’s birthday. The movie was campy, but still an enjoyable action flick, and Dan won our game of mini-golf. Of course.
I went to the city to see my brother for his birthday. Every year that he gets older, I feel older by comparison. I took the train into the city for the day, met up with my brother and his friends, and, after lunch at Little Poland, we went thrifting at all the vintage shops in both the East and West Village. I always enjoy seeing him, and was glad to finally meet the friends I hear so much about.
So that’s been my life lately. What have you been up to?
