i actually am already home bound...with swollen internal organs. i still eat nothing on those planes and if what ever they pump through the air conditioning makes your ankles swell, then it surely makes your organs...oh big belly go the fuck away now!!!

number 210 dia beacon

i went here today. ran through grand central station like i was in a movie because i was late, to meet my partners in crime with a hangover to do something so wonderful. i really love art, but get bored in art galleries that are big, and can never be bothered to read the blurbs to find out the theory behind the black canvas that sits in front of me.

this was truly one of the best galleries that i have been to. a 2 hour train ride out of new york, to come to a sanctuary of immense natural light that houses art on a grand scale.

not much gets me out of bed in new york for some reason. but this i would do again any day and with an early call time.

number 205 it comes around

the last 72 hours has proven good in the old memory making part.

but it was the last hour that really made me smile. sitting on a bench, having eaten free olives and being drunk after 1 drink just watching time go by, a girl that i used to work with walked past me...'hey' i call out. hey, she responds, then is like 'oh i was with some girl the other day that was talking about you, a friend of molly's who was asking all about you.' i am like, hmm, don't know any molly's, and she is like aimee??...i am thinking still don't know, and she is like yeh, 'aimee osbourne...you know her right?'

oh right, my best friend aimee osbourne...

so so good, i just smiled, and told her ONLY the whole story as to how i actually know aimee osbourne, and why she is asking about me.

good times.

number 202 naked cold and flu

so last night when i got up to blow my nose because i have the flu, there was a hello called out from the hall way. it was 10.45pm on sunday and there are 2 other very close front doors next to ours - so i ignored it. then there was a knock. ignored again. then as i was walking back to my bedroom the door opens and it is 2 strange men with a couch...

i am like - wtf...naked, standing with 2 men in the room who have a key to our apartment.

of course!!! they were delivering a couch - yep.

regardless of what happened in between me being able to get clothes on and find out why they were delivering a stupid couch so late, why did i not know they were coming, why did the front door not have a chain and a whole other bunch of why's - i was now forced to wonder how the hell was i going to sleep for the rest of the night knowing that they were going to come back and get me.

i don't think the wearing off effects of some cold and flu medication helped the paranoid couple of hours i spent trying to work out how i would get out the fire escape and avoid the other one that ran down the 5 flights of stairs to capture me after they opened the bedroom door only to find that i had ESCAPED them!!! it did give me strength though. i managed to move a 3 seater couch across the door via gap only big enough for my wrist to fit through (so i could hear when they came back, giving me more time to clamber out the window).

really - the best part was when my flat mates returned to me standing (now partially clothed) with a bread knife....bena was like 'what?? were you going to saw their penis's off???'

that is exactly what i was going to do.

HELL - O!

number 200 bug off bed

you never actually think that bed bugs exist. i once stayed in this hostel in salzburg where we had to sleep in this room that was one big mattress, unisex. it stank of piss and other wacky stuff. i was convinced that i had got bed bugs and we tried to tell the guy (who looked like he had only ever eaten bratwurst, wore leather pants and was the size of a small brown bear) that we wanted our money back because i had caught bed bugs, he kicked us out. but worse, i had to throw out my really expensive feather sleeping bag because i hand washed it (thinking that washing instructions back then meant shit) which made the feathers stick together and create one big feather ball within the bag - nice work.

there is good stuff left on the streets in new york. when i returned home last year with an original fiberglass herman miller chair, all flat mates were like 'where did you get that??' 'THE STREET - i found it!' so proud...i was rapidly informed that those good things on the street are there for a valid reason. they are out there as they are infested with bed bugs...jumping, crawling, visible bugs that live in your bed and have sex and spawn more crawling beasts in your mattress.

so the other night - 2 of us arrived to our new home - low low low grand st. i was like damn it, this place is ghetto...i just kept saying oh you know, few flowers and candles it will be fine. so as soon as stevie gets there, she lays on the bed and is like - 'something just bit me'...i am all, hello drama, trying not to believe that we could possibly have bed bugs.

well, we had them. well i didn't but emily's bed did. my bed just had empty condom packets and other amazing stuff under it.

good times in sublets.
