The Week that Was...Really, it was...

[Listening to: 311 - Champagne from the album "From Chaos"]

A somewhat eventful week. I've spent most of the week trying to splat drywall compund on my walls, so far i've got two-thirds of one wall done. It's harder than it sounds. With the one wall i've been trying to work on i've used up about 25 pounds of compound. It'll be done slowly but surely.

In events unrelated to drywall, I had an appointment with the dermatologist on Tuesday. I have a few skin conditions that need to be taken care of before they take over my skin completely.... Not really, but I want them taken care of. My dermatologist has an office in Manhattan that's easier for me to get to by train than the Brooklyn office, so I decided to go to the Manhattan office. I had never been to that office before, so I had to figure out where it was. It's on Perry St between W. 4th and Bleecker St. in Greenwich Village, which is on the west side of Manhattan. Me, being the genius that I am, didn't look to find the right train to catch that was closest to the office, and took the train that had one of the cross-streets to the office. I get off the train at Bleecker Street, and I don't see the office anywhere. As it turned out, I was on the east side. I ask around where Perry St. is, and someone finally tells me to just keep going straight. I figure, "How much farther can this place be?" 20 minutes of walking down Bleecker St. later I finally find Perry St. and the office. At that point I was just happy to get out of the heat. I got there about 9:45 am and it was already 90 degrees out. I get there, sign in, and grab a few drinks of water from the cooler.

While I was waiting to meet the doctor, I took a bunch of drinks of water to keep myself from passing out. As I was getting some water, this really cute woman bent over in front of me to check out some magazines. As she was bent over, this scene from a movie called Secretary came to mind. In the scene, Maggie Gyllenhaal was bent over on the receptionist's table as James Spader slapped her ass like he owned it. Thank God for will power.

My dermatologist is cool, but one thing that kinda bugs me out about her is that she has two different colored eyes: one brown, one green. It's not a subtle difference either. It kinda reminds me of DIzzy Devil from Tiny Toon Adventures. I let her know what's going on, and she prescribes some medicine for me to take and i'm on my way. I didn't feel like going home just yet since it was only 10 am by that point, so I took a stroll around Greenwich Village, ultimately ending up in Hudson River Park. It's a really nice park, basically a collection of fixed up piers. I chilled out there for about a half hour, ate, then went home.

Friday, went to go see Batman Begins.

OMFG HOLY CRAP THAT WAS THE SICKEST MOVIE I'VE SEEN IN A WHILE MORE SICK THAT REVENGE OF THE SITH AND THAT WAS A SICK ASS MOVIE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!11onetwhothree1

Saturday, my mother and I ran some errands, then we got bored because it was nice out and we didn't want to go home, so we went to the zoo. Only we didn't go to the zoo because we got there three minutes too late. We ultimately decided to go to the park since it was only about 50 feet away from the zoo. I'm glad we went because the park (Prospect Park) is in the process of being renovated, and the city is doing an amazing job on it. I took really good pictures since a whole bunch of random birds came along at opportune times. My mother and I explored parts of the park we had never seen before, it was really cool.

Sunday, mom and I went to get more drywall compound and wider taping knives. Then we found a Native American powwow going on at this airfield. We spent a few hours watching tribal dances and checking out the various trinkets and goods for sale. I bought a recorder with a turtle design carved on it. It plays pretty good, and I figured out one octave of the C major scale already. I should be playing songs on it in no time as long as I keep at it.

Now that I've covered the whole week in one long ass post, it's time for me to go to bed. Let's see how this week fares. G'nite!!
