Carrie is hosting a new karaoke night at the place next to the Hole. I know that place has a name, but they should really just change it to "The Place Next To The Hole."

Ben and Lesley brought the house down with their rendition of the theme song from "Growing Pains."

Jane, Tim and Ben in a happy friend stack, while Patrick is caught lurking!

"I want a lover I don't have to love/ I want a girl who's so drunk she puts her coat on upside down."

Miss Arfin if you're nasty.

Ben's wacky old high school friend showed up to Karaoke wearing a yellow fireman's slicker with a big thing of whippits in his pocket. Whippits don't do much to me except make my voice get really really low. Is that normal?

The next night, I met up with my old pal Paul a.k.a. Snax who was visiting from Berlin. We ate at Takahachi cuz I'm now obsessed with their seared tuna and sauteed mushrooms. It's the best meal ever. (Thanks R!)

Here's me trying to imitate Paul's oh so suave pose. (Results: Unsuccessful)

Song of the day: "The Pussy Cat Song" by Connie Vannett This is another John Waters-related song. He used it in A Dirty Shame and what can I say? Maybe it's all the whippits, but it cracks me up.

Just a friendly little cat...
