I forgot to mention that we painted our "bedroom" the other weekend. Green . Don't hate on it cause you're jealous bitches. This was great for several reasons. We used up like 4 mostly empty paint cans (somehow light green + dark green + ORANGE + white = light green) which we were able to throw out, AND spruced up a horribly bleak wall in our "bedroom." I keep saying "bedroom" because for those of you that have been to our apartment, you know our "bedroom" is a gigantic room that takes up 2/3rd of the apartment. The third reason painting was great is because I got to practice my broken-down babydoll pose that I'm going to use to OWN America's Next Top Model next seasons. Watch out trannys!
break it down baby!
break it down baby!
That's hot. President's Day Weekend was cold. But fun! We headed up to Tunxis for some good times with Ma & Pa Balthaser, who had just gotten back from their trip to South Africa. On Saturday, we went on a really fun hike in Beckett, MA, but to this old abandoned quarry. They still had all kinds of ancient equipment like this old school truck.
You had to climb up this steep slope that one can usually use steps to ascend, but with all the snow, we had to use this big cable and sturdy tress to help us to the top. Kippy loved it and scampered up and down the hill several times.

Overall it was a great hike and afterwards Rick and I hauled our ass of to Lee for some hot outlet shopping. Rick made out like a bandit as always, and I tried shirts that didn't fit and felt like a gawky freak. I didn't get a single thing and actually got into a bit of a funk about my whole clothes situation. But then I realized I was being ridiculous.
This past weekend was Museum Weekend Weeeee! Rick had the week off and after sitting around the apartment for most of the week, I demanded we go do something so we went to the Met! Neither of us had ever been. To make things a bit more interesting rather than just going to "appreciate art" we each wrote down twenty objects to ID in the paintings, sculptures, etc., put them in a hat and split them. Objects included "10 hot men," a full moon, a mullet, a rabbit, a prositute, an erection, a decapitated head, and people having sex. So we had a good time cruising around the halls and finding all our objects (well, we never found an erection or mullet).
The next day I met Devon and Dan at PS 1, another cherry popping experience. PS 1 is a contemporary art museum administered by MOMA housed in an old schoolhouse in Queens. The experience was really cool, but unfortunately I only took two photos. These are of a pool that you can look down into and go "into". It looks like there is water on both sides, but its actually a glass divider and they spray water over the surface of it. Its pretty trippy and fucking cool. There are better pictures here: http://ps1.org/exhibitions/view/207/
There was tons of other interesting and downright hilarious exhibits there, but I won't bore you with descbribing them - you should just go! Its a bit out of the way but perfect for a date or a weekend day out with your beloved. . .or just by yourself. Take some hallucinogens for extra fun! -JB
