mendacity

latkes + osso buco + beer == good new year’s.

i was standing outside grand sichuan intl. on 50th/9th yesterday afternoon waiting for an irc d00d to meet me for late lunch/early dinner when who should walk by but my friend rishauna. we were best friends in elementary school, the kind of impossibly platonic relationship where one of you (okay, her) beats up the […]

i was sitting on the couch a few minutes ago (what’s new, pussycat?) and i heard a commotion in the hall. figuring that the bad men were finally coming for my chastity and wide array of electronics equipment, i went to the peephole and was about to push down the lever to see out […]
