<from last night>last night it took an eternity to walk up five flights of stairs, because i was stoned. tonight, i'm drunk, and those stairs just flew by under my feet. there are movie sets all over manhattan, including one at the dive bar on the corner of my block. tonight i hung out with jami and coco and an anthropologist named derek and a packaging designer named iran and the owner of starlight and wonderbar, so now i'm gonna be able to have my birthday party at wonderbar next week. i'm a little bit psyched, since it's my favorite spot and i have a long acquaintance with it. if you wanna drop by, contact me for the details. also, on my birthday i'll be launching a new homepage design, followed by the rest of the site. i would say "stay tuned," but i think i've used that phrase before in this blog, and it seems a little lame to start tossing it around too much.</from last night>
