Oh, my sweet babies!! :) I left you sans blog posts for two whole days. Mama’s sorry. I’ve been busy with stuff. Good stuff. Last night, I went to Yuca Bar in the East Village to drink icy mojitos and margaritas with fellow blogger buddies / pundits / sexy people Liza (from Culture Kitchen), Baratunde, Jose Vilson, Tim Moore, Caldecutt, Nichelle and a new woman whose name I didn’t catch. Good times. (As usual, photos are on Flickr.) If you don’t already, subscribe to the RSS feeds for the lovelies mentioned above. And, while you’re at it, don’t forget to subscribe to mine, too! :)
In other news, I FINALLY got a phone to replace my broken one. :) It’s a Blackberry Curve Sunset, and it looks like this:
I’m teaching it to do tricks.
Ummmm … what else? Oh, yeah, my jury duty wrapped up a while ago. It was about some old dude who slipped on muddy rain water on Chelsea Market‘s entryway in 2005. I was waiting for the frail man with glasses and a shattered shoulder blade to scream out, “YOU WANT THE TRUTH??? YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!” Alas, it never happened. During the second week in court, both sides quietly agreed to settle. Best part about the case? My fellow jury members were kickass. I’ve soooooo gotta write about them one day. Specifically, one guy (a delicious fashion designer based here in New York) was particularly cute. I forced him to kiss me on his rooftop. Sexiest quote ever? “I design women’s clothing. Of course I’m a romantic.” He’s too cute! Hmmm …

You forced him to kiss you? Wouldn’t that be some dort of sexual assault? Or is it not sexual assault if it gives him a woodie?
Good one Baba, I am sure he WAS NOT kicking and screaming. I am still deciding which phone to get. I am leaning toward the Palm Centro.

A Crackberry. Why so old school? I am disppointed. I figured you for a more-hip iPhone type.
:-(
The new iphones are having a bunch of problemos. The crackberry is still a pretty good standard. i have an LG env( I love this thing. it comes with a full keyboard and has games….what else could i need it for?
did I mention it vibrates in my pocket…… ;)
Well if you buy an iPhone for God’s sake don’t sign up for the AT&T service. MAJOR FISA VIOLATORS!!! Don’t fund the companies that break the law. Their new contracts stipulate you allow them to spy on you AND you have sign away your rights to sue. It’s them Sprint and Verizon as the big culprits. T-Mobile and Credo Mobile did not violate.
@ Baba Doodlius: By “forced”, I mean it went down like this … ME: Kiss me. Him: No. ME: Kiss me right now!! It would be so romantic. HIM: [grumbles, kisses me]. ME: Seeeeee, that wasn’t so hard was it?
@ Alicia: I don’t even know what the Centro is. Damn, there are so many choices for phones!!
@ jason palmer: You know what? I test drove a iPhone and I didn’t like the key pads. I do A LOT of Twitteing, blogging, emailing, etc. The key pad on the iPod wasn’t really condusive to that. That’s also why I went with the Curve instead of the Pearl. I *need* a full keyboard. :)
@ dkzone: Pervert. :)
@ heartsandflowers: No AT&T for me.
omg, that would’ve been hilarious if he really did scream that out! I wonder what would’ve happened?
but…. did he kiss you back……
lamesabassman…… jury duty + 11 people= a second book…. hmmmm….
That judge was no joke. :) If he did that, she probably would’ve excused the jury and pulled out a can of whoopass on him. I *LOVED* her.
LOVED her!!!!!! :)
