itinerary for a long weekend in nyc.

day one: six hours on the bus down. dinner with keight at a frantic restaurant. look through old zines & stacks of midwest landscape photos. hug jen when she comes over.

day two: big cheap bagels with tofu spread. sort through old photos at the flea market in the stifling summer heat. order too much food at vegan dim sum. try not to faint from heat exhaustion on the subway platforms. help elissa clean house. scrabble & speed scrabble at the cute coffeeshop with the gender-neutral bathroom & the expensive chai. coin new term "asshole smart." cheap noodle soup for dinner, complete with charming company & much giggling. picture-caption-picture game & much more speed scrabble with genderqueer words deemed legal.

day three: sleep in. be one of thirteen total people helping to move elissa out of her apartment in under an hour. feel somewhat overheated. spend time stoopin' it. conceive the best two-person hardcore band ever. hugs all around. lemonade at the used bookstore. peanut chews at penn station. four hours & a bad movie on the bus home.

very social weekend, very go-go-go.

was just informed that the company that handles our payroll is requesting that we note the gender of each employee. fucking great.
