working girl on the train

so i’m currently sitting in the greenpoint coffeehouse while jess folds silverware into napkins next to me. another lovely weekend out in the pines complete. the above shot is of me fake-working on the train like a douche. haha.

there’s not much more from me as i’m pooped and still haven’t been home to see my cat. however i’ve got a few things that i’ll be posting about this week. i know of two :

one : i just saw elevator repair service’s the sound and the fury at new york theater workshop tonight and loved it. i’ll tell you some more soon.

two : i also just walked past veridian, a brand new monstrosity of a luxury apartment building that is slowly appearing on green street in greenpoint, where i lived in a shitty studio for two years. this neighborhoods goin’ kids. more on that in a later post as well.

i’d just like to say thank you to katie and my mom - the only people that i actually know that read my blog - for sticking with my gay-ass update posts for the past few days. it was definitely an experiment in good old blogging for me and it kept me occupied between schmoozing and boozing. maybe i am cut out for this interweb stuff after all.

alas maybe all would become clearer to me if i lived in a luxury condo with “virtual golf.” holy shit. fun week ahead.

love you.

sunny time on the deck at ocean house

my last day here this weekend and the skies have parted to reveal a lovely burst of sunshine. here i am sitting out on the deck before we head down to the harbor to sell more tickets for the fire island dance festival.

there was a crazy storm last night (see the pics from the previous post) and i grilled some awesome chicken with some fig marinade from the stop n’ shop in sayville. the drunkies ate it up - literally.

i have to go put on some sunblock now as i’m a pale boy.

it was a great weekend, but i can’t wait til the end of june when i’m out here practically all by myself. there’s something really calming about his atmosphere - being in the bosom of nature. i’m an ocean boy. i’ve always been. (thanks mom for throwing me into the sea early). this environment makes me feel good. even though the sun and my skin don’t get along.

yesterday, when it was overcast, i sang the sun song that i learned at growing garden nursery school. goes like this :

o, mr. sun, sun, mr. golden sun
won’t you please shine down on me.
o, mr. sun, sun, mr. golden sun
hiding behind a tree.
these little children are asking you
won’t you come out so we can play with you.
o, mr. sun, sun, mr. golden sun
won’t you please shine down on me.

it worked.

fire island pines 2 : morning

me in the morning just before the rain

no that’s not a photobooth background. i took that shot with the isight on the company macbook pro that i’m borrowing this weekend to do some script work for an event. i snapped that shot right before it started to drizzle. 

yesterday, out here in the pines, i overheard some guy say that a 20 foot long fish washed up on the beach near fisherman walk. that walk is only a few down from the house we’re staying in so i thought it would be worth it to check it out. bobby and i went down there after having a cocktail and lo and behold : no fish. bollocks.

last night we all went to ‘tea’ - which is another way of saying ‘get drunk during the day.’ our friend - and favorite broadway gypsy - jose lana bought us some drinks. rock on. 

i don’t think i really ate dinner last night except for some nuts and snickers bar. i think i’ll go eat something. i promised everyone that i would make breakfast this morning but there are only six eggs and six of us so .. oatmeal anyone?

ah, life. (what a fag..)
