The November Roundup

Here are all my pics from November of 2005 that didn't make it into their own entry!

Thursday, November 3rd

On Thursday evening I took Meredith (a.k.a. "Murderdeath") out on a BOWLING DATE!

meredith — All part of my plan to woo her back after we broke up.

This is my "victory move" that I performed after getting a strike.

meredith — This is Meredith's victory move. Hahah.

Friday, November 4th

emilie, meredith, mona — On Friday night Meredith and I went to Niagara to meet up with Emilie E. who was in town visiting from LA! Here's Mona and Meredith dishing some boobie-cupping lovin'.

alessandro, me — And we finally got to meet Emilie's new boyfriend Alessandro! Beyond being one of the nicest guys I've ever met, he got extra bonus points for being a member of Nine Inch Nails.

alessandro — No, seriously.

bryan c, emilie, mona — Bryan Carlin (another former NYC resident turned LA-traitor!) was in town visiting as well!

emilie, mona — Reunited and it...

emilie, mona — ...feels so good. Hahaha.

meredith, mona — Random photos of us being drunk on the "stairs to nowhere" in Niagra. Mona and Mer.

emilie — Yay, Emilie! So good to see you!

alessandro, me — Just for the record, it feels more like a 7" nail to me.

Saturday, November 5th

meredith — Random pics from Saturday. I went shopping with Meredith and then somehow, we ended up on...

...the Upper West Side and we ate Big Nick's!

Later that night I ran into Josh...

me, nina — ...and Nina...

...and they ended up taking me to this totally crazy-ass loft party in Tribecca where I ran into...

me, natasha p — Photographer Natasha Papadopoulou (who I hadn't seen in years!). Oh, and I also happened to run into...

me, scott ian — Scott Ian from Anthrax!!! First Emilie's boyfriend turns out to be in NIN, and then I end up at a party with Scott Ian??? It's like all the wishes I made back in 1987 finally came true! (Now if I could only get a handjob from Samantha Foxx....)

mikie — I ended up meeting up with Mikie (who used to live in Japan but has since moved to NYC) and we all left the party to go dancing at MisShapes. Mikie ended up bringing some douchetard along with her from the party who refused to take off his blue-tinted aviator glasses.

mikie — When even Josh is embarrassed to be around you, you know something's gotta be majorly wrong.

leigh — Leigh shows off her brand new finger splint after breaking her finger the previous week on Halloween.

Tuesday, November 8th

On Tuesday I was walking down the street and saw this license plate...

...on an undertaker's car parked outside of a funeral home! How fucking awesome is that? Hey, if you gotta deal with dead people all day, you might as well have a sense of humor about it, right?

matty matt — Then later Tuesday night, I went out to BK to see Matty Matt's new apartment and to....

matty matt — ...wish him a Happy Birthday!!! (Matty and his mom!).

matty matt — I've known this dude a long-ass time. He even has the distinction of appearing in the 2nd entry I ever posted (December of 1996, third photo down!)

grant, meredith — Afterwards, I went out for drinks with Mer and Grant (who were certainly excited about something!).

Wednesday, November 9th

leigh — On Wednesday night I went out to visit the Tins at some new club she was DJing at and she showed me...

leigh, lizzy — ...the pictures of her and Lizzie Goodman (3A reprasent, y'all!) in Elle Girl about how they're both music-industry hotshots!

leigh — Then I got bit.

Thursday, November 10th

Thanks!

dad, me, mom — On Thursday night my parents came in to town and I took them out to dinner. I look like my mother almost as much as my dad looks like Peter Griffin (The Family Guy). Hahah.

Sunday, November 13th

sam m — On Sunday night, my good buddy Sammy came into town! (It'd been over two years since the last time I'd seen him!)

And I finally got to meet his sister and his fiance!

me, meredith, sam m — Meredith agreed to come along because she'd heard a lot of stories about Sam and wanted to meet him...

me, meredith — ...but she still wasn't all that interested in making out with me.

Hey, smashing pumpkins.

Wednesday, November 16th

leigh — On Wednesday night, I went over to Leigh's and she showed off the Tofurky that she'd just purchased (in preparation for her forthcoming Thanksgiving party)...

grant, jen c — ...and then later that night, Grant and I went downtown to wish Jen Choi a happy birthday!

Here's me with two of Jen's friends whose names I don't remember because I got stinking drunk. Hahah.

grant, jen c — Hahah.

On the walk back uptown Grant stopped to piss on the street and when I snuck up behind him with my camera...

grant — ...he freaked out and almost peed all over himself. Hahah.

Thursday, November 17th

buanao, miye — On Thursday night, Niki the Roomie and I went to Matsuri to get our free dinner on - courtesy of Miye and Banao.

buanao, miye, niki — Niki gone wild!

sarah, sean d — After dinner we headed next door to Hiro to say hi to Sarah!

While on the dance floor, I ended up meeting...

jessica g — ...the lovely, rope-swinging Jessica.

ariane, jessica g — ...and her best friend Ariane.

ariane, jessica g — All together now.

jessica g — Hahah.

ariane — Check out Jessica totally blowin up her best friend's spot by pulling the ol' "get a load of her navel tattoo" finger-point. Hahaha. This photo makes me LOL every single time I look at it. Holy shit, what a great photo. This is exactly the type of thing my guy friends do in photos when they're trying to blow up someone's spot, so it's soooo funny to see two girls that are besties pull this same shit. Hahahaha.

Friday, November 18th

gunjan — At work on Friday we had a party to celebrate...

...TechFest 2005! (TechFest is an internal competition where our company breaks into small teams and everyone has one day to code a working version of a a feature they'd like to see added to our sites).

Afterwards, there was a party.

And group video games.

leigh — Later that night I went to Leigh's Thanksgiving dinner party!

Babygirl cooked up a feast!

geordon — After dinner we ended up totally getting obsess with electronic version of the game Catch Phrase.

That shit is pretty much a party in your pocket.

Guess who was featured in both Elle Girl and Teen Vouge in the same month?

leigh — She's a teen sensation!

Later on, Leigh showed me the new issue of Visonaire.

Each of the photograph series in the books came with its own plastic packet filled with "edible fragrances" printed on that same edible film they make those Listerine breath-strips out of. It was creepy. Some of the flavors/fragrances included: Guilt, Power, Youth, Orgasm, and my personal favorite...

leigh — ..."Mommy" (that was flavored like condensed milk!). It was pretty neato. You can read more about the issue here if you're interested.

Afterwards we took pictures of Leigh's creepy troll dolls...

...and then I did my impression of Benjamin Franklin.

meredith — Later that night, I took pictures of Meredith with a bra on her ass....

me, mohawk — ...and then when I fell asleep Meredith (apparently) combed my hair into a mohawk. Hahah.

Saturday, November 19th

On Saturday I went to see (a totally weird and depressing) midnight movie at Sunshine Landmark...

leigh — ...the I went to MisShapes to visit Leigh.

I stayed late and danced until way after they were closed and walked home while the sun was coming up.

Sunday, November 20th

niki — On Sunday night, Niki came out of her room and into our living room and asked me to help her find her cell phone. So I went into her room and called her cell with my cell so that we could try to locate it by its ring. We both heard the phone, but after looking everywhere, we couldn't find it. So we moved to a different part of the room and I tried calling it again and we were perplexed that it also sounded like it was right near us even though were like ten feet from where we were the first time we called it.

niki — Ten minutes later, we solved the mystery when we realized that the phone fell off the bed and into Niki's jean-cuff and had gotten zipped up into her boot! Hahahaha. (Which is why no matter where we walked it sounded like the phone was "right near us.")

Tuesday, November 22nd

ellen, piper — On Tuesday night I hung out with Ellen and Piper. That is all.

ellen, josh m

Saturday, November 26th

grant — On Saturday I finally got around to giving Grant his belated birthday present!

grant — Poison's greatest video hits!!! Happy 29th, Grizz!

karen, sarah — Karen and Sarah getting their hug on.

leigh, mr winkle — Leigh doing her best impression of Mr. Winkle!

geordon, sean d — It was Sean's birthday! Peanut butter bomb cake!

Sunday, November 27th

On Sunday, people came over for TV night.

david k — It was David K's first time seeing Ali G and it made him so uncomfortable he spent most of the episode making this face.

Monday, November 28th

sarah l — Walking home on Monday, I ran into Sarah on the street with her brand new puppy!

me, meredith — Later that night, Meredith came over with good news and bad news. The good news was she was finally ready to get back together. The bad news was that she wanted me to read the book Men Are Mars, Women Are from Venus. (Which, and I never thought in a million years that I'd actually say this, I learned a lot from and actually totally changed our relationship for the better!)

Tuesday, November 29th

jeet, sarah — On Tuesday night, Sarah invited a bunch of us over for a homemade dinner! (Bonus points to Gurj for making that face in the background! Hahah).

sarah — UltraChef. Haha.

She made homemade gnocchi in a creamy gorgonzola sauce. It was out of control delicious!

sarah — While cleaning up her room after dinner, Sarah found her very first fake ID that she got made when she was a freshman in college! Hahah. Look at that baby face!

karen, sarah — Later that night we all walked over to the Darkroom so that Karen and Sarah could DJ some party.

jenne — Jenne was there!

jenne, me — And after we took our prom photo...

jenne — ...we made friends with strangers on the dance floor.

And then we had a danceparty.

It was epic.

Wednesday, November 30th

On Wednesday night I went to a party at the WiRED store and ended up totally getting sucked into playing two solid hours of MINDBALL. You put on a headband that measures your brainwaves and use it to move the ball towards your opponent. Whomever's able to relax the most wins! Sooo fun! If you've got $22,000 to spare, this would make a great gift!

fatty, grant — Later that night, a whole bunch of us went to go see Fiasco play at the Delancey.

fatty, grant — The show started out normal enough, but then halfway through the set, this wannabe Lenny Kravitz pushed his way up to the stage and started giving Grant funny looks.

grant — Then he turned towards the audience and started doing these weird dance moves along to the music.

grant — Grant was so distracted, that he eventually just ended up inviting the guy up on stage. Things got even weirder when he produced a Minnie Mouse hand puppet from out of thin air.

eric g, grant — Eric G. getting cosy with the Grizz. (Look at Grant! Feeling awkward much?)

siege — Siege shows off the *used!* light-up speculum that Jake Brownstain gave him as a "gift." "Er, thanks dude."

russ p — A bunch of my co-workers even came to the show! Here's Shirley and Russ!

hafeez — And then I caught Hafeez getting fresh with a chicky in the hallway!

hafeez — Best most-awkward drunk kiss ever!

leigh, me, meredith — After the show, Meredith and I went to some club in the West Village to visit this little elf.

lizzy, posh tony — Lizzie (of Elle Girl fame!) was there putting her trademark red lipstick on Antony Ellis (aka - Posh Tony).

lizzy, meredith, posh tony — Lizzie, Number Two, and Mer.

me, meredith — Hahahah.

meredith — November was a good month.
