Don't waste your precious breath explaining that you are worthwhile

Outside of the angry men yelling in French beside my window, Memorial Day has been another success.
Hell, the entire weekend went off like gangbusters.

We finished staining and laying down the new wood for our veranda (can it be called that? A fire escape that doubles as a large patio) in time for us to grill. Finally made the trip to BJ's in Queens- I've only ever been to the one in New Jersey.
Sunday was spent at HUGS.
Finished reading Shortcomings and A Drifting Life. I'm slowly working on building up my Adrian Tomine collection.
Last week submitted an article to McSweeney's.Planning on more in the future.

I also banged my wrist up pretty bad (I have to wear a brace to keep it steady.) A friend of ours asked if I had carpal tunnel.
I'm ashamed to admit it's hurt from punching someone and I just manned it up. See what wanton violence gets you?
Still planning the Costa Rica trip. We've got... countdown...seven months to get this together. This is including our October trip to Texas again.
Tomorrow I have to drive to NJ for the day, so I count that as another day off work.
Huzzah!

As in the book, I wound up inventing people. Kind of curious.

Internet liberation? Can we be fully free of the electronic synapses that ties us all together?

The weekend proved very fruitful, at least in a sense where everything seems satisfying and no one was hurt.

Walked from brunch at Lodge (which I say no more, I'll stick with Teddy's , thanks) to Fred Flare in Greenpoint. The walk was good, the skies parted and it became a beautiful day.
Later, parting ways, I ended up at Night of No BS at Parkside Lounge while everyone else headed to BJ's in Queens to grab stuff for the the glory that is cooking outside on the patio. All of Bushwick is spread before us on a Spring day.
One of many videos that forces my brain into spring/summer mode:
