"Cuz I'm a one man guy in the morning, same in the afternoon, one man guy when the sun goes down, I whistle me a one man tune" -Rufus Wainwright

I threw Cheerios at Dave this morning. This would be my second breakfast attack. A little less shocking than the first, but damn, it was still fun. :-)

We intended on going to a party last night, I was to meet my friend Shasta there, for some kind of weird experimental music deal (plus keg!! keg!!), but alas, besides from the fact I use alas a lot... we couldn't find it. We wound up driving around this 3 block area looking for anything resembling a party, and I wound up calling up Jesse at a payphone at a scary El Cheapo gas station- hoping that he'd have Shasta's cell phone number. He didn't... I got wet, I witnessed some bikes being stolen (I'm pretty sure that's what was going on- BLAH!), and the flashes of lightning in the sky seemed pretty appropriate. I mentioned many times how I despise lightning to the boy.

So we came back to my place, watched MadTV and SNL, and later, three very different straight boobie shows (one was pretty typical, one had LOTS of fucked up murders, and another was a Playboy documentary dealy). Lots of verbal sparring between us, which was very fun. He would NOT lay off with the "I've slept with your mom" jokes.. and I pelted him with no set game plan, but pretty openly. It rocked! O:-)

Earlier in the day, I hung with Jesse. I got my final rolls of pictures in for the documentary project- of him in the computer buildings, discussing a project, and then we went to 606 (a restaurant), which has lots of funky scenery and a great environment to take interesting pics. Granted, I probably got the same general one, over and over and over... of him sitting across from me, eating or chatting... and granted, he's always "on," so it'll be hard to get a sense of what he's really like across for this project, but SOMETHING out of that roll had to come out good.

I also played a bit of a prank on him, LOL.

Okay, I hate it when I do that, "laugh" in the middle of a story.. but I just honestly did bust out...

Jesse was "working with me" a bit on the pics, so he happened to have his head down... OH YEAH.. I know what it was. I told him- "Dammit, Jesse! You're always 'on!'" Quit it!

He then pretended to be "off," and put his head down, like he just had his plug pulled. He was staring down, shoulders slumped... and starting to get out of that pose, so I picked my camera up and told him to stay like that for a second.

He did- I put the camera down, and watched as the waiter came by to check on us and to give us the bill. Jesse had his head down the whole time, the waiter was like "You doin' okay?" to the both of us, and I busted out laughing. Not quite as horrific or mean spirited as it coulda been, but it was good for me. :-)

Aiiight, so now I'm gonna head out to Bergen, as soon as Dave gets the hell up, and out... then I'm gonna meet Mike and Jonathan for lunch at City Market. This will help make up for the fact I'm missing my wrestling pay per view tonight, and that I will be going shit-headedly insane in the darkrooms, with tons of other stressed out students as finals come closer.

Wish me luck!
