"Oh great, now you're going to be in some freak magazine."
2005/03/21 Japan Girls Night Tour. This is the second time I've gone to Benten's Japan Girls Night tour in New York. Lots of fun. Puppy Pet, TsuShiMaMiRe, Titan Go King's, Gaijin a go-go, and Petty Booka. 
2005/02/18 Bishop Allen at Mercury Lounge. 
2005/01/21 Bishop Allen and We Are Scientists at CBGBs. I missed BA, but made the Scientists part of the show. 
2004/11/25 Thanksgiving at my place. I even cooked a Turkey, since both of my sisters came here! 
2004/10/30 Carl Sable has an Internet-themed Halloween Party. Click on the thumbnail to check out my pictures.
2004/10/23 My best friends Ron and Michelle got married at Princeton University October 23rd, 2004. I have the pictures here to prove it. 
2004/08/06. Back from my trip to Washington state, where I visited the family. 
2004/04/22 Asobi Seksu played at Lounge 13 on Thursday, and I went to check them out. I really, really recommend them. Their CD should be out soonish in NY area stores, but at least hit their website, check out their MP3s, and then go see them play.
2004/04/17. We Are Scientists at the Knitting Factory. How cool is that? 
2004/04/09 Six years in the city, and this is the first time I've ever been to the annual Macy's Flower Show. Pretty amazing actually. 
2004/04/04 Rockin' Roller Skate at OfficeOps in Brooklyn was just a blast. Take 4 bands, put them in a cage, give the audience roller skates, add beer and stir. Of course, since Bishop Allen was one of the bands, I thought I should lace up some skates and head out there. 
2004/03/12 Bishop Allen and
We Are Scientists show at Lit. Totally rocked. 
2004/03/04 I went down to Arlene's Grocery to check out Wussy (read about them in Japion) and
also enjoyed Impostor
Syndrome. Took a few pictures.
I went down to Philly to see Bishop Allen on the start of their
Support the Thunder tour. Bishop Allen are totally awesome - you must go and see them when they play near you. It is a moral imperative.
11/1/2003 Pictures from Halloween 2003, "A Very Strongbad Halloween". 
8/27/2003. From Friday, 8/22/2003 until Sunday, 8/24/2003 I
went on a road trip with some friends to New England. We hit
Mystic, Newport, Boston, and Glouster. It was loads of fun. I
didn't even get sunburned. 
8/5/2003. I went to Japan in July of 2003 for a conference,
and some vacation. Here are lots of pictures.
5/31/2003. I went down to the Tank on 42nd street, and saw
Bishop Allen in concert. Bishop Allen is really great - Ron sent me a link from their NPR interview, and I've been listening to the album ever since it arrived...
2/1/2003. We had a Karaoke Party! Man, that new Japas over at 38th is pretty cool!
1/23/2003.
Nerd Night v1.0, over at Steve's place. 
12/14/2002. My younger sister graduates from SMU with a
Bachelor of Fine Arts in pottery. She had her first solo show, and
then was in the graduation ceremony. 
10/31/2002. Halloween came and went. The Sable's put on a fun
party, as usual. 
10/24/2002. Went to see the
Girlyman band show at the Living Room. They're a good group.
You should check them out. I command it. 
9/21/2002 - Went down to Chinatown with Y.I. and her family for a nice dim sum brunch, and ice cream afterwards. Otherwise, just busy. working. busy.
Some indeterminate time... Played BBall back at SMU in Dallas a
few times. Lots of fun to be had.
9/1/2002 - Alana and Thon got up and ran at 8:00am. I didn't go;
I sprained my ankle playing basketball last week. At about noon
we went out to get brunch at Las Manitas Avenue Cafe, my sister's
favorite place downtown. It's a mexican place. I got a Plato de
Churrizo, which is basically refreid beans, and churrizo with egg.
Put all that stuff in a tortilla, and it is some pretty good eating.
Of course, it didn't feel right having that for breakfast, but
still...
In the afternoon, we went to Barton Springs. It's a part of the
Austin city parks, basically a few blocks from downtown Austin. It's
a natural spring that flows up from limestone which Austin built a
nice little park around. The water is always a chilly 68 degrees, so
it's pretty cool to go out there on a hot day and relax on the grass,
popping in and out of the water. Of course, it was pretty crowded
since a lot of Austin seemed to have had the same idea that we did...
8/24/2002 - I went to
Evan and Veronica's wedding today. It was out at a park in
New Jersey, and was a lot of fun. I would have loved to have stayed
for more of the merriment, but I had to catch a plane to Dallas...
8/12/2002 - Just got back from Las Vegas. That is an expensive
city.
I've got some pictures up over here. Maybe. I think I'll be eating
lots of curry rice - at least until my next paycheck...
8/06/2002 - Y.I. and I went shopping, and cooked up a big pot
of Curry Rice (hot, not mild) with some beef. I love Japanese
curry rice. It's one of my favorite foods. It was good too - and
now I have like 4 days worth of curry. At least. 
7/28/2002 - Met some friends at Fort Tryon park near the
Cloisters for a picnic. I brought the proverbial bucket of
KFC chicken. While walking
through the park, I noticed a cute little cafe that I've put on my
list of places to try called
The New Leaf Cafe. I
haven't had good luck with picnics - it was really hot and humid,
and at the previous picnic I was on (4th of July 2002) in Central
Park it was also amazingly, meltingly hot.
7/24/2002 Evening - Went downtown to meet Benkei and friends.
Had dinner at
Cafeteria.
Looking over the menu, I just had to get the Fried Chicken and
Waffles. I love breakfast. I'm a big fan of fried chicken. Why
not put them together? Before eating, I took a picture of a cute
blue-haired girl. I asked before hand, just because you know, it
would be strange otherwise. Not like it wasn't strange enough as it
was. Anyway, when I took the picture she said that she had made a
face, but I said that was fine, since I didn't want to make her feel
like I was hitting on her or anything. As I left, her friend said
"Oh great, now you're gonna be in some freak magazine."
So, I'll try to get her picture up here if I ever develop it.
