homage to bridget jones
Perpetually late today. Woke up late, weather was horrible. Went to Macy's - bought Keds with cherries on them, AND a bag with FRUIT on it! Was still wet after Macy's. Took the wrong subway line to Serendipity's, ended up walking ten blocks crosstown in horrible wet raining conditions. Got to Serendipity's an hour late, and there was a line :( Had to forego delicious chocolate treats even though body was severely craving it, to meet Ken at MoMA 15 blocks away. Actually turned up on time at MoMa (first time for everything) but KEN DID NOT SHOW. Now in collective black books. Took shelter in nearby Lou's cafe. Drank much needed hot chocolate. Still not satisfied, so ate some chicken soup and felt better. Got soaked again walking back 8 blocks to the hostel. Felt dejected because of lack of achievement today. Cursed the rain. Resolved to get drunk and party (it IS friday night after all). Caught subway downtown to SoHo/East Village/Chinatown. Stumbled upon random italian street festival, which went on for ages! Ate a deep fried oreo for the hell of it - truly not as bad as it sounds. Got mocked for it, but at least I have photographic proof. Ate Vietnamese food and it very tasty. Did not win any of my plate wars - beef, rice noodle or salad - all were leftover on my plate. Felt sad. Walked back through street festival towards towards cocktails in Grenwich Village. Entered Fat Black Pussycat cocktail bar. Unimpressed by number of uncool people so made a rapid exit. Wandered around aimlessly for new cocktail bar replacement. Stumbled upon a tiny wine bar called V-Bar. Had a glass of delicious pinot gris from Italy. Moved up the street to Shade Bar and enjoyed cocktails made to order! Had varied martinis (apple, raspberry, chocolate) which were very, very strong. Theorise that the cocktails are pure alcohol and thus a bargain for 8 dollars (+tip). Sufficiently buzzed to go to gay-turned-indie-club-on-the-weekends venue somewhere downtown. Danced. A lot. Retired at 3am. Fell gratefully into bed glad that the day had redeemed itself and hoped tomorrow would bring some sunshine.
