April 2012
Gave up cheese for the month (which lasted all of five days when I made a loophole for Wing Day [and Mac n' Cheese day]), left Austin, finished Hunger Games, started some trashy Jack Reacher book (Worth Dying For), went to a super fun gallery opening and dance-after-party, saw The Hunger Games at Nighthawk, saw the Lebbeus Woods show and then went to the New York Auto Show, had a fun day in Harlem including going to the Jazz Salon, saw A Dangerous Method, had a sad dinner at Upstate, went to Krautwerk 1-8 Condensed: Kraftwerk Covered which was awesome, saw jazz at Uniqlo, started watching the Ric Burns New York documentary, read Reamde by Neal Stevenson, met a crazy couple and had a bad end to a fun day, got laid off, saw Questlove show at BAM (with Deerhoof, Jeremy Ellis, Sasha Grey, Reggie Watts, and more), something bad happened, saw Do the Right Thing, Meloncholia, Salo, This Film is Not Yet Rated, and Antichrist, got scraped by a new periodontist, twice, had an extremely unfortunate encounter, something good happened and then had one of the best meals and best service I can recall at Rye, Zach and his brother Noah came into town, went to Jeramy's sparkle party (and not only ate some cheese, but had pizza for the second time in way more than six months), saw Like Crazy and got very, very sad, went on my first bike ride of the year. A really up and down and crazy month.
