A good time was had by all

This weekend was all about driving hither and yon in an attempt to culturally enrich myself. We went up to the Dia:Beacon on Saturday and roamed around. I took some surreptitious photos which I might post tomorrow when I'm back at work. See, today is the day that Gordon Lightfoot gets snipped. And we're all very, very sorry about that, Gordon.

The Dia:Beacon is situated in one of those upstate towns that has been on the downswing for some time. Though with this sudden influx of city money, new restaurants and shops have begun opening up on Main Street. It's all very charming in a way that makes me feel ashamed to be a Citiot, as we used to call them.

So after taking in the de Marias, the Serras, the Beuyses, we decided to thorougly purge ourselves of our intellectual pretenses and go to the Woodbury Commons Factory Outlet.

And then we drove home and got stuck in traffic. Numerous times. I am not a good navigator in such situations.

But then the fun came! We went to a birthday party for some friends. And having little else in my stomach aside from true grit, I proceeded to get astonishingly smashed. The evening culminated in me badgering and insulting members of this fine band, and I am ashamed. They are very nice and talented and charming. I meant nothing by it. As Maud and Emma can attest, I just get a little punchy in my cups, but really, I'm harmless. "Another rock-and-rye, bartender, and this time pour it like you don't own it!" Thank god K was there to sling me over his shoulder and drag me home before I started slicing people with a broken bottle neck.

And yesterday is a blur. A headachey, bloated blur.
