wednesday

they are really really promotiing the new will farrell movie

welcome to the johnsons

i call it a don't rag

take a chance

went to see kite runner with josh wiles. it's amazing and tear jerking. the taliban is fucking scary.
after demolishing my mascara at the movies we bopped down to one of my new favorite restaurants, barrio chino on broome and orchard. i had the al pastor tacos and a habenero grapefruit margherita--which was amazing!!! josh got the guacamole. i fell in love with the place. i'm thinking that i'll host the first of my upcoming monthy downtown-bohemian-creative's pow-wow dinner party there. more on that later..
ended the night with a stop off at welcome to the johnson's. followed by a xabi and me dance off at fat baby.
all and all a well rounded downtown evening.

ran for the border


i haven't had the opportunity to eat taco bell in the city for just about a year now. some of you may remember the well publicized rat takeover of '07 at the kfc/tb in the village. well, that was my taco bell.
now, some may scoff but i fucking LOVE me some tb. always have, always will. and aside from the creep out factor of rats and the like, i miss the convenience of one of my all time comfort meals just down the block.
anyhow, long story short, yesterday i awoke with a hankering, and was thus forced to swallow my pride and hoof it over to union square for a reunion with my chicken gordita supreme [with seven packets of hot sauce]. upon return home, i was rewarded with a now cold, but just as kind of amazing as always, treat.

below is the clip of the fox news report about my now shuttered old haunt.
