NORWEGIANS AND SUN MADE ME STAY UP TOO LATE

I had an exhausting long weekend. Mari was visiting from SF so I was showing her around and the city was so sunny I ended up meeting up with nearly everyone I know. It was like a giant socializing orgy. Ben and I are normally pretty anti-social. It was kind of too much for us. Apparently Norwegian girls are the shit because when boys texted to see what I was up to and I said, "hanging out with girls from norway," I got the exact same response back..."hello!" Mari's like, I'm tired of being exotic, I'm going home. he he. In my experience, scandinavian girls or at least swedes seem a little cold or tough if they're different at all. I'm not sure the reputation is justified. I'll stick with emotional and romantic types around here who are just as hot. I like emotional and romantic. Plenty of blonde swedish americans from the midwest are all over the place anyway.

We met up with her awesome musician and artist friends Sondre and Kai who were here from Norway to mix an album with some famous guy I'd never heard of. Silphan or something. Everyone had weird names this weekend. They wanted to eat at a generic diner cause Kai wanted typical american food. He asked the pakistani waiter what cole slaw was and the guy said, "it's cole slaw...comes in package," and didn't know either. NYC was too loud and busy with all the good weather so they wanted to go somewhere cheap and quiet. I took them to bars with gardens. Kai looks exactly like Vincent Gallo which, whether you believe it's him or not, has about the same effect as Vincent being in the room...freaking everyone out. Anyway, I'm tempted to go to Oslo now; I liked those guys. We ended up at a bar near my house that plays crappy techno but has a great garden. It's always full of eurotypes. Sondre's like, "cool but lets go to the back, too much techno shrinks my testicles." Norwegians seem more american than european. Minus the bush part of course.

In music news my friend who at times dates meg's old man heard the new white stripes album and told me it was "fucking great." Michelle Gondre and others are supposedly doing a remix of the first single which is weird.
