Weekend update 8/19

I had a great NYC weekend.

The weather was AMAZING!!! In the 70's and no humidity. I couldn't believe it. It was a great reminder that Fall's right around the corner. Put me in the best mood.

Friday night I went to a capoeira class. "A what?" you ask? Yeah, a CAPOEIRA class. It's a Brazilian martial art. I really enjoyed it for two reasons:

(1) It was the best workout I've ever had, and
(2) My teacher is pretty much the best looking specimen of a man I've EVER SEEN

And for that matter, everyone in the class is beautiful too. I've always known Brazilians and Argentinians are hot but I've never been to those countries so I didn't really get it until now.

Plus, there's a great jiu jitsu studio and I also saw guys wrestling as well which means....

I'VE FINALLY FOUND WHERE TO MEET MEN!!!! I'VE SOLVED THE MYSTERY!!!

Fuckin' capoeira/jiu jitsu/wrestling studios. Who'd've thunk it? And what's great about the capoeira class is that it's such a tough workout that everyone in the class bonds over how much their asses just got kicked so their all friends. I met 3/4ths of the people in the class. They're all so nice!

I haven't been this sore since the marathon. I could barely walk today. And I don't mean up and down stairs. Oh, that hurts like a bitch but I could barely walk in a straight line down the street.

So that was Friday night. Saturday I hung around the apartment then saw, "Becoming Jane" which was cute. Went jogging to try and squelch the Hot-Brazilian-Capoeira Pain I was experiencing. Didn't fucking work. I stayed home Saturday night and watched a HORRIBLE Lifetime movie (is there any other kind?) about a girl who was tired of her friends pressuring her to get married so she decided to marry herself. "I Me Wed" is what it was called. I think some marketing chick named Tiffany came up with that cute-almost-as-punny-as-sex-and-the-city title. Tiffany probably got promoted from Director to VP for that one.

Sunday I fixed a great breakfast. Went to the Richard Serra exhibit at the MoMA. AMAZING! I loved it! Also got lost in the other sections of the museum. Played eye-fuck with some cute guy that was probably 10 years younger than me - alriiiiiight, alright - 15 years. Took some pictures at the museum which felt really good. Haven't taken pictures in a long time.

I bought the NY Times and started reading about the real estate market as I gotta start boning up on what to invest in. Getting excited about my new job!

Then I went to see a great documentary, "The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters". GO SEE THIS MOVIE! It's only 87 minutes long and I - along with the rest of the audience - laughed my ass off and clapped at the end. It's about this guy Billy who has held the World Record score in Donkey Kong since 1982 and about the guy that challenged him. You're rooting for one of these guys like you root for "Rocky". SO, so good!

I tried to go see "Superbad" too but it was sold out. So I came home and decided to type this up.

The site's soft launch begins tomorrow. Ugh...
