Okay.  So I am super behind on getting photos up.  I just have too much stuff and not enough time in my life.  Sorry I keep bitching about it.  I have a little text update for you now because I have had a weird weekend and hopefully the photos from Friday will finish uploading before I go to sleep tonight and I can hit you with that update.   So here are a few short stories.

1. Friday on my way home from work I was on the Subway and it was packed.  I got on at the 6th Ave L stop going towards Brooklyn.  When I got on it was pretty empty, but by the time we hit 3rd Ave it was standing room only.  A woman got on and had a bunch of stuff in her hands and I thought about giving her my seat, but I was working on an iPod play list and I didn’t feel like moving.  A stop later I looked up and realized that she was pregnant.  She was really skinny and wearing loose fitting clothes, but when the train moved you could see her belly so I immediately offered her my seat.  She refused to take it, so I went back to working on said playlist.  As we were going under the East River I she dropped her bag and I looked up and she was falling.  With one hand still holding my iPod I grabbed her with my left hand and caught her right before she went head first into the Subway wall.  I spun her around and into my seat and everyone gathered around her.  She woke up a second later and had no idea where she was.  She asked the guy next to me if she was at Bedford yet.  He told her that she wasn’t there yet, and that she had fainted and that I had saved her.  When she got to her stop she wanted to get off.  I figured we should try to get her medical attention, but I wasn’t getting off at that stop.  I was going to get off any way, but the other guy said he would help her off the train.  I figured she would be good with him, but as the door closed I saw them part ways and he just walked the other way.  I hope she is okay, it was pretty intense.
2. Saturday night I was on my way to San Loco to get some food at 330 AM and a couple was walking towards me.  They were the only people on the street so I was looking at them.  The girl, a completely average looking woman, from the couple looked back at me and right as I passed her, she barked at me.  It was bewildering.
3. I got a new phone.  The Google phone, the G1.  I think it will be sweet one day, but this version has a lot of problems.  It has a touch screen and a keyboard, but you can’t use the touch screen for any text, so that you are constantly having to open the keyboard in unnecessary situations.  It does not make any sense.  Also my photos look like shit on it, it doesn’t play iTunes files, and I so far can’t figure out how to make it vibrate when I get texts.  But there are a lot of things I love about it.  The Google Maps stuff is amazing, and once my contacts are in, it is going to be amazing for organizing my life.
4. I shot Girl Talk this weekend for the Village Voice.  Death Set too.  They were both great.  I will have pictures from that and the hot body contest from Rated X up this week.  As soon as possible.
5. I went to a sports bar in NJ to watch football at a Miami Dolphin themed bar called Miami Mikes.  It was fucking awesome.  I think one of the main reasons I am not getting anything done right now is that I get no sleep on the weekdays so I sleep all day Saturday, then Sunday is wasted by football.  My weekends are a blur.  But the Dolphins won and I got to be in a mosh pit esque scene every time the scored a touchdown.
6. On my way to Girl Talk I tried to park in a parking spot that I had no business parking in.  Some how I got in.  I had to do like a 20 point turn, and I bumped the cars a bit, but I got in.  When I got out though, I was in shock.  There was not even an inch on either side.  It should not have been possible.  These people walked by and were like “Man, I can’t believe they boxed you in like that! How are you going to get out?  And I was like, I JUST PARKED THERE! I AM THE GREATEST PARALLEL PARKER WHO EVER LIVED!”  For those that don’t believe my greatness, there is photographic proof below.  The guy said “You should take a picture!” and I said “What do you think I am doing!” and I pulled out my camera.

Hopefully one more update tonight…
