two prunes and hobbesian philosophy.

friday night was spent avoiding mexican food: we ate indian cuisine and drank ourselves silly at an irish pub. we played a raucous game of 'telephone' in which, inevitably, the words "auspicious" and "fuck" made their way into the final phrase.

saturday began with a visit to the first prune. scarny and i tried their famous bloody marys -- his had beef bouillion and mine, a pickled brussels sprout. i had buttered breadcrumb-encrusted eggs over spicy chickpeas and garnished with olive paste. it was a pricey meal. we then ate gingerbread and relaxed in union square park. soon enough, a.w. showed up and we headed uptown to check out the second prune of the day.

after a trip to the coke den that is scarny's temporary residence, we headed out to red hook and had a most unfortunate meal. fries were beyond crispy, hamburger was half gristle. the only thing that saved the evening was an impromptu party back at the pad, the highlight of which was when a dude named porkchop showed up at 5:30 in the morning with a six-pack of sparks. this morning's recovery brunch was spent at curly's. i had the vegan tofu rancheros, a coffee, and sangria.

AMAZING WEEKEND.
