What I Did This Weekend: The First Wedding

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience when the first of your friends get married. I've been to a handful of weddings before, but just ones of distant relatives. I was not at all prepared for what to expect this past weekend when my friends EJ and Kati exchanged vows (given celebrity coupling ...

The Q&A: Paul Mecurio

Monday, April 21st, 2008

What did I do this weekend? Well, I did quite a bit. I went to a Passover Seder in Kansas, for example. I spent about an hour in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, but I couldn't find any cheese. And I scored an interview with Paul Mecurio. Paul's a standup comic after my own heart: he's from Rhode ...

What I Did This Weekend, in Q&A Form

Monday, September 17th, 2007

How was your weekend? It was all right. I drank a lot, it seemed. Did you attempt to negate this by going to the gym at any point? Negative. Did you watch the Yankees-Red Sox game on Friday night? Yes, unfortunately. Did some of that heavy beer-drinking occur after the Red Sox blew a 5-run lead ...

Oh, Brother

Monday, July 2nd, 2007

I have a much, much younger brother back at home. When I introduce him to people as my brother, they look at him, then look at me, and then think, "mistake!" My parents more kindly refer to him as a "surprise." Seeing as how I had been through several sex ...

What I Did This Weekend: For the Record

Monday, June 4th, 2007

By pure coincidence, in my apartment, at 8:30pm on Saturday, I was doing all three of the following: Drinking beer Eating poutine Watching hockey I should just fill out an application for Canadian citizenship now.

What I Did This Weekend: The Room is Still Spinning

Tuesday, May 29th, 2007

This extended holiday weekend called for some drinking. And I did a little too much of it this weekend. Or much too much of it. So much, in fact, that it led me to do stupid things like this - on command - in the Times Square subway station: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FVyMJ3h15M] I will ...

What I Did This Weekend: Guaranteed Hangover

Monday, May 21st, 2007

I woke up Sunday morning with an awful hangover. It was one of the worst hangovers I've had in a long time. I ended up trying to sleep it off through most of the afternoon, too, to no avail. So, what caused this hangover? I was stumped. I didn't drink any ...

In Which I Miss a Crucial Step in Dressing Myself

Monday, April 16th, 2007

Saturday night, I did my fair share of drinking. Our group ran up a $497 tab at just our first bar of the night. But the most embarassing moment of the night came before I was halfway through my second beer. Because I had been craning my neck for the entire ...

How Many Tools Can You Fit In One Town?

Monday, March 5th, 2007

It seemed like a perfectly good idea at the time. One of the biggest drunkfests of the year for the Irish and wannabe-Irish alike is the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Hoboken. I'm Irish. I like booze. I was free Saturday. I was willing to put aside the fact that people in New Jersey clearly ...

What I Did This Weekend: Sad Clown

Wednesday, February 21st, 2007

And now, another remnant of my weekend at the alma mater: a clown juggling fire in the snow, complete with play-by-play. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvT_dF7z86s] See? That alone was totally worth the six-hour bus trip.
