Best Fern In Your Cappuccino Foam

Spent the day in my old neighborhood in Williamsburgh yesterday... ended up leaving my favorite winter hat in my favorite old coffee shop, and had to turn back. Before I left the asshole "barrista" and I had words,

"Um, excuse me. Do you have my hat? Um, I left it in here a little while ago."

"Um, excuse me... do you have, like my hat?" Copious eye-rolling.

He pissed me off and my orange hat was lost to the universe, so I grabbed his small brown leather unruled diary. (I had seen him writing in it in a corner while I drank my coffee about 30 minutes previously)

Here's an excerpt from November 17th 2006:

"Had a pretty decent day yesterday. Got up early, did some body cleansing Pilates. Ate soy sausage and tofu scramblers with sage.

Screenplay Idea: A man writing a Dostoyevsky novel using only clowns. Theme/Tagline: Insert comma where you wish...

Sometimes when I'm handing out tourists their coffee I just freak out about the state of America. Why am I serving coffee to some Republican from Illinois when I should be writing lyrics???

Toxins:
The night ended in cocaine and jukeboxes. Then I became depressed and self-concious when a blue-eyed chick across the room yelled out, 'I can just TELL this playlist was made by a loser.' "

Actually, I ran back into the shop, got the eyeroll and sass, and then spotted my hat on the floor in a corner.

Too Much Love (For YouTube)

Ed. Note: This may be the longest blog post ever. But we like it enough to recommend you set aside 20 odd minutes and experience it in its entirety.

Let's start the perfect Friday post off right, by exercising:



Next, some school (Warning!: serious ripping to follow):



Then some after school recreation:



Followed by a night on the town with Lcd Soundsystem:



After that, late night chillin' with some old friends:





Lastly, some introspection:

"Hibachi": Lenny Kravitz - Are You Gonna Go My Way?

I was ripping the exercise bike pretty hard yesterday when I peeked this video on the TV above me. It totally pushed me to burn an extra 10.

Maybe you, like I did before yesterday, have forgetten how awesome this video is? Allow me to refresh. First, its setting is either an enormous three-tiered hole in the ground, into which both psychedelic and disco light are poured, or its the innards of a gigantic, again three-tiered, disco ball, or it's the inside of an alien's butt, or it's a combination of the three. Cut it any way you like, it's J. There are hott rock & roll chicks dancing. Its run time is 3:33. EVERYBODY has long hair. Kravitz sports a sleeveless, red, velvet, bell-bottom jump suit!? There's 360 degree paning during the solo. There's a blurred-out tit shot, and the bass player is wearing a cape.

Jesus, fuck, ladies, I would totally get into "Brad Pitt" shape if I had one of those video iPods and could run this video on repeat. Can't afford one right now, but if you're a lady, you can leave a comment to set up a donation.
