post NYC non-post

[thehefner]

I'd love to give y'all the full rundown from my FRIGID experience, to give mad props to muzikmaker21 for taking such good care of me and to suburbfabulous for making it out on Sunday.

Hell, I'd love to finally see WATCHMEN again, so I could get up here and write the first of what's sure to be several posts discussing the book and movie*.

More than anything else, though, I'd love to be able to drink a glass of water without throwing up. But that, nor any of the above, is gonna be happening anytime soon.

In case you didn't already know, food poisoning suuuuuuuuuucks.




*Until then, I'd like to point you toward two articles that I'll be touching upon in my eventual WATCHMEN analysis, both focusing on keeping Snyder's accomplishments in perspective: the version of WATCHMEN the studio wanted and Patton Oswalt's passionate defense of Snyder, made even though he hasn't seen the movie yet. Though the fact that he holds Brian Bendis on the same level as Joss Whedon in terms of being the Nerd Mafia's best friend is a very suspect claim.

And since we're talking about Oswalt's myspace blog (and who uses those anymore?!), I very much recommend his essay wherein he sings the praises of Jason Statham.

Was it the chili?

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

It was indeed. I'd had it twice before, but third time was most assuredly not the charm. The last 24 hours have been varying degrees of hell, with it being especially bad at the FRIGID party.

Daaaamn. Glad I got the burger.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I envy you like hell now. Even if it "NYC's best burger" is a pretty lofty fucking claim.

[suburbfabulous.livejournal.com]

It wasn't, but it was certainly very good. For a tiny brewpub like that, it was definitely in NYC's Top 5.

People keep asking about you, and when I say that you're gone, they get all *sadface*

Aw, really? Had I but known I'd be missed so, and had I not been deathly ill, I would have made the rounds and said my farewells! Well, I'll definitely be back.
