goblinbox

gobbie

n., slang. Any kind of device (computer, PDA, cell phone, GameBoy, iPod, or television) that relentlessly sucks up all of your time and attention. If you're reading this, you're utilizing a goblinbox right now. You might even have a S.O. who wishes you weren't pasted to the goblinbox who's hollering, "Turn off that blasted goblinbox and come to bed this very instant!"

Mush really needs to blog but doesn’t have time!

In which your intrepid narratrix is really quite far behind with her material.

zOMG, I have so much to tell you! But I don’t have time to do it properly, so here’s a brief recap:

Wednesday night, Deboka and I went to her neighborhood pub and watched the Yankees game and talked. Thursday I went to the Metropolitan museum of art and ate Indian food in Manhattan… and then Deboka and I went to her neighborhood pub and watched the Yankees game.

Friday we went out for foule mudamas for breakfast, and then I packed and went to meet Vuboq. He and I stopped for a leisurely meal and margaritas, then went to Jake’s where we dropped our luggage. Then we took the train to the theatre district.

We saw David, world famous blogger at Someone In A Tree (link is potentially NSFW ’cause there’s occasional pix of near-nekkid menz), in Brigadoon, then joined him and the cast at a nearby pub after the show. Jake showed up, too. So much fun!

Well. Then it took five trains to get us home, but we made it eventually.

Today there was some sleeping in, followed by an excursion for brunch. En route, Jake got a call: his grandmother had passed, and he had to go be with his family. Vuboq and I found food and bloody marys.

Now, two hours of down time. Tonight, the Halloween parade in the Village and meeting up with a few more NY bloggers. Tomorrow at the asscrack I’m taking a cab to the airport and flying home. Such a whirlwind weekend!

Pics and anecdotes to follow… when I get home.
