October Part I

A few of you have mentioned your longing for my old blog and the ability to keep up with my life since I'm anti-social networking. I have to admit I sort of miss having a quick reference to my life, but I don't long for the former shackles of my own creation. However, in an effort to update my readers on distant shores, I'll do a few wrap up entries and share some hilarious photos.

VP Debates (October 2nd)

As a young woman living in an age of equality, it pisses me off to no end that Sarah Fucking Palin is what the Republicans offer Americans as a qualified second in command. Since my vote is solidly behind Obama, the debate was purely an opportunity to vent about this affront to the fairer sex and heckle a television with a fun group of intelligent like minded ladies.

We played a rousing round of Palin (bingo). We used "Smarties" as place markers and a package of "Dum Dum" lollipops was the grand prize. I won on the word National Guard!

However our Palin masks were by far the hit of the evening and too hilarious for words. Suffice to say I have not laughed that hard sober in years! "There's something on my Palin!" and "My Palin has yuck mouth!" were the quotes that had us all in hysterics.

True to form, my camera battery died at this crucial moment, but trust me -- we wore the masks all around town and played a very competitive trek of Big Buck Hunter with a hysterical audience. I pinky swear to share those photos whenever my friend Chrystal locates her damn camera chord.

An Evening of Art and Class
(Otherwise known as 2 for 1 drinks and dirty sex talk on October 3rd)

Some other ladies and I spent a nice Friday evening drinking fancy cocktails and checking out the prolific amount of well dressed gay men at the Rubin Museum. Just to prove that we did at least drop into the galleries, I present the following two photos of Buddha... or whatever.

Open House New York - Governors Island (October 4th)

Once a year, Open House New York hosts a weekend of open studios, kids activities, and tours of historic architecture all over the city. As per usual, I didn't get on the ball until a few days before when all the cool shit was booked. But rather than totally miss a beautiful fall weather weekend, I gathered a little group to stroll Governors Island in the hopes of seeing some of the normally off limits buildings on the south end of the island.

Thank god the stupid fucking waterfall was still up and running.

Our favorite part of the day was playing a quick nine holes through the free Figment mini-golf course. It was certainly a play on your traditional idea of golf. You can see my full set of photos from the day here.

Wildcats Meet The Coaches Night (October 8th)

My friend Mike had extra tickets to an alumni event at The New York Athletic Club. I love ending up in beautiful buildings and/or organizations packed with history that are WAY out of my league. I sometimes forget that a majority of Nova alums work in industries that make oodles of money. Too bad I took them up on the liberal arts education...

In any case, the booze was free, the food decent, the view of Central Park amazing, and keeping company with our incredibly handsome, intelligent, suave and impressive head coach, Jay Wright, was well....not too shabby.
