Topic: Gowanus Yacht Club…day 2, a new streak of goodness
So…after work I met up w/ my friend that I met during a summer internship back in college, he’s a 3L now at NYU. We took the F train to Carrol St., for my first night out in Brooklyn. I’m slowly burying my embarassing past. How could someone who grew up maybe 25min. from Brooklyn, have never gone out there?
Well…maybe I’ll wallow about all that another time, but last night I was there. And it was good…a nice little beer garden. Turns out it was trivia night, and they also had $2 PBR cans (gotta love dirt cheap beer that tastes like it costs) and $1.50 dogs.
My friend and his buddies amazed me w/ a lot of the shit they knew. What woman has been on the cover of Time the most times? What color shirt to ping-pong players wear? Name 2 of the channel islands? What does LSD stand for? What SCUBA stand for? What’s the worst part of roller-blading? (the answer to the last one…”telling your parents you’re gay”) And questions about things and people I’ve never heard of…so can’t repeat here.
In the end…our squad, (named Twanna Henderson after a hooker I met once while working as an investigator), pulled out a pretty solid victory, which rewarded us w/ free pitchers of beer, and a chunk of money divided 8 ways, which helped pay for more beer and hotdogs.
Crashed at my friends place in SoHo, so didn’t have to wake-up till 9am. How sweet that was. Had a good b’fast, now I’m in the office, just takin’ it easy.
Lunch update: Went to Wholefoods, which I hate because it’s mad expensive, but I let myself eat out once a week, and I didn’t have a chance to bring lunch today. Hit up some bbq tempe and lime tofu, don’t really know what the hell tempe or tofu really are, but they seem to take on the form of virtually any ingredients they’re added w/, and at least if gives me the impression that I’m eating healthy, or at least, not eating a 2,000calorie burrito from Chipotle.
I feel like I have a good chunk of brooding to do about my past, present, and future…but I’m gonna find something more productive to do instead. See if Will and Hand make it out of Senegal anytime soon.
