we acquired some frozen tilapia cheaply. i thawed them and smeared them with kosher salt, garlic and cayenne pepper, then put them on burglar mesh grill that had been brushed with soybean oil. people are patient sitting around the grill for five minutes, then the fish gets flipped and we pick off all the cooked flesh with fondue forks and chopsticks. flip again and repeat. then if you are into that sort of thing there are the eyes and the spine which can be re roasted.

i went to the neighborhood park to practice jump shots. the last pick up game i played was at the court near trudy's, with guys who came because they couldn't afford to drink or whose kidneys were starting to hurt from holiday drinking, and wanted to do something healthier. i could get open shots, but missed all of them except for a layup or two. in the neighborhood park it was parents with their children. i played HORSE with a boy who looked about 12 years old and we split a pair of games.

cleaning up the day after the party, i found twelve bottles of vodka, gin, vermouth, scotch, homemade polish spirit and wine, most more than half full. but the alcohol doesn't please me anymore. the best feature of the party was that i put the laptops away and only had an ipod 2 GB connected to the stereo. this prevented guests from playing their favorite music videos on youtube, thereby reminding other guests of an even funnier video that would be played next.
