Someone sent me one of these inane surveys, so I thought here would be as good a place as any to post it. Feel free to pick it up and post it elsewhere so that we can all share in the mindless mediocrity.
DEFINING MOMENT OF SUMMER `07: This one's a no brainer. Getting Horse Latituded from what was until then referred to as The Job.
BEST PURCHASE OF SUMMER `07: I'd have to say those old school Ray Bans (see pic above), purchased on a hungover whim at The Tanger Outlet Mall in Riverhead.
BEST BOOK YOU READ DURING SUMMER `07: "Downtown" by Pete Hamill
BEST MOVIE YOU SAW DURING SUMMER `07: Didn't.
BEST GIFT YOU RECEIVED IN SUMMER `07: Technically, it arrived after the Summer had stopped, but easily the angry, dark Treeson from my lovely former colleague, Jane.
BIGGEST LOSS OF SUMMER `07: Hilly Kristal. Also, I just heard that the plans for the Cedar Tavern to return have been abandoned. I mean, it was already dead and gone, but now it's evidently official. Pour one out for the Cedar. Oh, and on the personal tip, the sudden extinction of my job was probably my biggest loss.
SONG THAT SUMS UP SUMMER `07: For no readily apparent reason other than that it seemed to fit my overall mood, I'd have to say "The Great Annihilator" by SWANS.
HAPPIEST MEMORY OF SUMMER `07: Getting to spend oodles of time with my two demonic cherubim, Charlotte and Oliver.
SADDEST MEMORY OF SUMMER `07: Again, the loss of my job, although it's the people I miss more than the job itself. Beyond that, getting in a couple of big screamy fights with my mother and my sister on Labor Day weekend is kind've something I regret.
SCARIEST MEMORY OF SUMMER `07: Well, there was that time when I managed to scrape my Mom's car (which she'd leant to us for the Summer) across the side of a cop car (with a couple of very angry cops in it) on West 9th Street during the aftermath of the Gay Pride Parade. I sincerely thought they were going to take my sorry white ass downtown and get all plunger-happy with me, but being that I was practically sobbing like a girl scout and that there was mercifully no damage done, they were so disgusted with me that they let me go. Salute!
WORD THAT BEST DESCRIBES SUMMER `07: Unemployed.
