Woo hoo. Here they are are: all the pics that I took in February that didn't end up in their own entry but still deserved better than being resigned to a lonely folder on my computer.
Wednesday, February 1st
So the big news in February was that I got myself a motherfucking xBox 360. Awwwww, yeah. This was the first thing that I ever bought on eBay (and I didn't even have the patience to do it properly in an auction - I saw one listed for a decent price in one of those "buy it now" auctions and just WENT FOR IT!)
On Thursday, a whole bunch of us took Sarah out to dinner at Kate's Joint to celebrate her birthday! Here she is showing off a glow in the dark coffee cup and some sort of kissing flamingos decoration (which had to have been gifts from Meredith).
Me and the birthday girl - this photo was taken just moments after a huge fight broke out on the dance floor and Sarah ended up getting accidentally clocked in the face. Ooof!
Towards the end of the night, I reached into my pocket to get something and realized I was still carrying around the drawing that Grant did of Posh Tony from last month (because every time I was feeling a little down, I'd pull it out and look at it). I got Tony pose with it again to try to gauge the likeness. Hahahaha.
On Saturday morning, Meredith and I went down to Chinatown to get our dim sum brunch on and we came across the remains of a (Chinese New Year?) parade.
On Monday night I went out drinking with Posh Tony and we ended up shooting pool at Max Fish (where we almost got beat to death with a pool cue because of Posh Tony's inability to shut-the-fuck-up when he's drunk).
On Tuesday night I was walking home down Rivington Street and when I passed the Streit's matzo factory, I saw that there were a ton of dumpsters out front filled all the way to the top with matzos!
I've known her since 1993 (which means she knew me when I had the Steven Segal haircut: Shaved around the sides with a pony-tail in the back! *Shudder!* Hey, it was Jersey in the early nineties! Whaddya want from me?)
After getting our free drinks on with Leigh, we all hopped in a cab to some other party that was going on in the basement of the Tribecca Grand. The music was pumpin' so we hit the dancefloor. Russell showed off his moves.
On Friday night, I hopped into Dennis's car and he drove me up to attend Stoopid Newman's birthday party in South Norwalk, CT. (Newman was Dennis's roommate in college and my roommate for almost two years right after college). Right as we were about to walk into the party, I remarked that Dennis's gift for Newman "looked too nice." Dennis agreed, so we took turns stomping the shit out in the parking lot before we went into the party. Hahaha. Dennis went first.
Then I gave it a few more kicks and scuffs for good measure.
...Dodgeball.com t-shirt! Dennis to Josh: "Happy Birthday...now help promote my company!" (Actually, I'm only teasing Dennis! The dodgeball shirt was relevant because after we graduated college and we all got booted off Syracuse University's web servers, Dennis bought the dodgeball.com domain as a place for the three of us to move our personal sites to! They were hosted there for a year or two until Dennis wanted to use to domain for a "city guide" project he was working on in 2000. So that's when Dennis moved his personal site to TeenDrama.com and I bought the I Keep a Diary domain!)
I'm not sure who this guy was, but I photo-stalked him around the party for like 5 whole minutes trying to get a clear shot of...(get out of the way balloons!)...
Yep, see? He looks sober in this photo! I also worked with John and Lillian at Modem Media way back when and hadn't seen the two of them in six years either! Happy Birthday, Stoopid Newman! It was great to see you! I ended up catching the 11pm MetroNorth train back to NYC (because Dens got back in the car and drove up to Mt. Snow). After the train ride, I went home to relax for a bit, then around 3am, I decided to swing by Orchard Bar to see what was going on.
Everyone that was there that night was totally rowdy. At one point in the night, Karen and Jenny realized that they were both wearing ridiculous 80s tights, which led to a whole series of photos...
At the end of the night, we were freaked out because someone left behind a blue plastic bag with something really heavy inside of it. We opened it up and found some sort of wet, igneous rock, wrapped in a soaking wet towel.
On Saturday night there was a blizzard and the only other person besides me that felt up to braving the snow in order to head out was Amanda (who can definitely touch her lip to her nose).
And last but not least, a fancy carrying case for her new laptop! (And yes, I really do have a girlfriend that gets totally stoked about getting a laptop bag for Valentine's Day! I win!). Happy Valentine's Day, gorgeous!
