I wish I were still on vacation

So, last week I decided to take up ice skating. This is quite possibly one of the worst ideas I’ve ever had. Why?
![](http://farm1.static.flickr.com/125/375971342_4f7fa17377.jpg?v=0")
THIS is why.
ok fine, that’s not my knee- it’s some rugby player I found on google- but honestly that’s what BOTH my knees felt like after I dunno-- like 20 minutes on the ice. I had this vision that if I got my own skates-- instead of using those crappy rental ones, that suddenly I would be like Sasha Cohen able to stand on the ice without falling. But INSTEAD when I tried to skate-- this evil, evil device you see above called a “toe pick” would...without warning, reach its nasty claw out, put its death grip onto the ice, and send me plummeting to the floor. I hate you toe pick. Anyway, as if getting beat up on the ice weren’t enough, when I got home from the rink I saw this in the mail:
Who would send such a thing?? None other than November/December “enemy of the month” Jenny Shitter. Shitter’s enemy status = extended.
Not last Saturday, but the one before, Kate, Victoria and I hit up this comedy club uptown and then took this really red pic at Schiller’s.
On my way up to the comedy club, this guy on the subway was drawing people near him, then handing them the drawings (which say “tip if you like it” on the edge). I thought it was kind of a cool idea. I mean, I liked it better than the usual Mariachi bands or “my house burned down and my dog ran away too” schemes for cash. So, anyway, this is how he drew me. Do I look kinda mean? Should I try and look less bitchy on the subway? Oh well.
What else...hmm....there was TNO last week at East River Bar where Andy sported his best “Where’s Waldo” style shirt”....
....and some guy came around serving homemade empanadas (pretty good!). F- to whoever picked East River Bar for TNO. I smelled like a big ash tray when I got back from that place. Yelch.
Saturday night we had a special viewing of “Ski Patrol” at Michael DelGaudio and Tricia’s place, which was pretty awesome. Here’s Tikva, Jenny, and Jeff.
The party included a smorgasbord of deliciousness. Tricia busted out with these homemade hors d’oeuvres....
... and cupcakes from the Magnolia Bakery cookbook.
Not to be out-shined, Ran swooped in with these fancy-pants deserts...
...and finally Tikva tried her hand at our favorite Austrian drink Gluhwein.
We threw in “Ski Patrol”....
...which mesmerized most of the crowd.
All but Stefan who, as you can see from this photo, was appalled by the sub-par American ski technique in the film. Pretty sure I overheard him say “Warum verließ ich überhaupt Österreich?”
Later in the week I paid my first visit to long-time friend Monica’s company - Wee Beastie. Wee Beastie produces promos for TV. If you have any major TV shows going into syndication anytime soon, let her know, she’ll hook you up with a sweet promo. I guess that’s it for now. Next up in the blog que-- 100% chance of TNO on Thursday, 98.7% chance of snowboarding on Saturday. 96.4% I drop (another) class. 150% I procrastinate working on my thesis. Have a good weekend kids.

You just keep right on talkin’ about enemy of the month status, Slutty Summer...you squat-shot picture taking, mama Shitter hoisting, wine-spillling mess of a bridesmaid of DIShonor!! I still have a few things to pay you back for, so go ahead and extend my status at LEAST through your birthday...I’m sure I’ll do something else deserving of it soon.
