Weekend wrap-up

First, an update. I fell off the wagon this weekend. It hurt a little. I hit my head.

The older I get, the more nervous teenagers make me. As my cool factor wanes with age, I get worried that I won't be able to relate to them anymore. I'm not planning on having kids ever, but I do hope that my Future Divorced Dad's teenage daughter thinks I'm hip. So imagine my delight when I ended up hanging out with a 16-year old goth girl at Mark and Nicola's engagement party on Saturday. She seemed impressed when she mentioned Trash and Vaudeville and I said, "On St. Mark's place, right?" Before long, she was telling me all sorts of things that started with, "Don't tell my mom, but…" She even asked her mom if she could come down to the city Sunday and protest with me. Mom said no, but that's beside the point. I AM STILL COOL. Go me.

There was a very funny Zach Braff look-alike at the party who I briefly chatted with. He had a girl with him, but they didn't seem very couply so I'm not sure what his deal is. I sent Nicola an email inquiry. Fingers crossed.

I joined the United for Peace and Justice march on Sunday. Curly invited me to march with Gays Against Bush. (Please don't get on television. I'll have a lot of explaining to do if you do. - Mom) Should you ever protest anything, I highly recommend doing so with catty gay boys. Awesome. The protest was peaceful, and very, very hot. I took pictures, but with a real camera, not a digital one, so who knows when they'll get developed - I'm bad with that. But you can see pics over in the land of Sean Conrad. Some of my favorite slogans, chants, etc were:

It's hot. It's humid. The president is stupid.

Tax cuts are tacky, darling.

George W. Bush is not my Friendster.

I'd rather vote for Satan.

George honey, just let it go.

The office is dead this morning, as I work three blocks north of Madison Square Garden and the majority of my coworkers thought this might be a good week to use their vacation time. I'll be working from home on Thursday - I don't even want to try getting up here then.
