i completely wasted my day off indoors...i had the all planned out, lap swimming at astoria pool, laundry, rock climbing at the soon to be ex-gym. well, one out of three aint bad. and sleeping wasn't too bad, it was down right fun at some point. speaking of the ex-gym...went to the NYU Palladium, the rockwall was very, very cool. not as difficult as it looks. the instructor there is insane...just check 'em out in the Voice. of course, the wall is closed until further notice...due to "construction"...and i say "construction" b/c of the following article i found from the NYU Paper Washington Square News from a couple o' years ago.

now my feelings are there is an assumption of risk when doing this, this isn't great adventure...and even a roller coaster isn't 100% safe, that's why we go on them. i've jacked m'self up on the wall a billion times...my fave being the popping sound of my fingers that put me out for 3 months. do i sue? all i can say is...dude is a friggin' wuss, and doesn't deserve to be on the wall...it only takes one litigious bastard to ruin it for all of us. at least there's still Coles...but it's not open 'til school starts...which isn't too far away. i should find this whiny baby and pee on him.

had dinner at Partage it was pretty good...had the 5-course tasting menu...foie gras, beef cheeks, goat cheese salad, grilled salad, and apple tarte a la mode. Nancy had the lamb, which was also very good. drank rose' w/ it...haven't had it in a long time and it was pretty good. complemented the cheeses we had but not really w/ my meal. i'm totally full and want to throw up but it was good so i'll keep it in.

think we're going to the Copa tomorrow, hope i just remember how to dance those damn steps, haven't done it since the Block, and we were just practicing then.

hope you guys are watching the World Poker Tour right now...they're at foxwoods and it's the most exciting one i've seen in a long time. i lost last week, but played the way i wanted to play...few mistakes aside, and i just got beaten well...speaking of which, sexy nan and i bumped into stephen on the train tonite...he beat me good one hand that lead to a loss...and it was his fault i got screwed at work (just kidding).
