what a bizarre weekend.

friday
planned on only going out for an hour or so. went to a party on lexington. kicked some butt in pictionary - drew 'incest' and my roommate actually got it. i got her representation of 'bloated.' a lot more people showed up and i soon forgot the early bed time i had set for myself.

after a bunch of calls from the girls that nite i figured something kinda weird was going on. but i would have never expected what it actually was. they hunted me down at this party with no one else then collen in tow. she had driven up from queens to surpize me! regardless it ended up being a late nite.

saturday
let me tell you. waking up at 9am on a saturday morning after a late nite pink nite is probably one of the worst things in the whole world. especially when it is to go shopping. i puked at the mall.

now on to the party
a.) thank you so much for those of you estrippers that came! i feel terrible i didn't get to talk to a lot of you. i was kinda overwhelmed.

b.) seriously i knew like 10 people there. the people i expected to show up didn't. which is crap. and there was like 593470 dudes there.

c.) someone got beat up in my backyard. if it is anyone reading right now i am really, really sorry. my housemates are Neanderthals.

d.) there was a bowie dance party in my living room til 7am. and that was sweet

e.) i played spin the bottle at mr. goodbar at 3:30am.

f.) in the morning i woke up to broken glass everywhere. projectile vomit covering the couch and the walls. basically hiroshima on ashland.

h.) someone drank a really nice bottle of champagne i got for my birthday and i am pissed.

i.) happy birthday (e:paul) !



also. my partner in crime here at work just briefed me on CES in vegas. we got specs on some awesome new electronics coming through the pipeline. the theme this year, it seems, was basically ramping up technology. a lot of time there will be an amazing new innovation. this year it was making what is already out bigger and better. and the HDDVD vs blueray debate. (blueray is the clear winner it seems as sony and apple picked it up)
the funniest part of CES is that everyear it in the same convention hall as the AVM convention...so it was one big jumble of nerds and porn stars.

oh man the ER is seriously the wierdest place in the world. what i would not have given to still have my camera phone (is that legal?) at the wee hours of the morning today.

while waiting, a man, probably pushing about 60, grabbed my attention as he walked out of his room naked and tried to grab his bag of clothes from behind the triage station. when the nurses tried to stop him he just started screaming in frustrastion - "i am getting out of here! do you know how long i've been here!" then, no joke, lit up a cigarette and just starting smoking in the middle of the ER. i seriously have never laughed so hard.

i kinda sympatized with the poor guy. believe me, that is the last place i wanted to be sitting at 6am too. luckily i was clothed.

a.) king kong is a wierd movie

b.) i just got back from hardware in which my gay husband mortifed me by announcing (very loudly) that last semester he used to shart a good deal everytime he drank too much.

oh and our new years pics are up for the world to see. does anyone else find something disturbing in this one:

i just found out that tourettes guy (http://www.tourettesguy.com/), a man that has provided me with humor for months, is a fake. blah. i suppose it is still kinda funny that there is a person out there with the time on his hands to pretend he has tourettes.

so quitting isn't going to great. sunday and monday i had one for 24. tuesday all hell broke loose. broadway joes. i smoked a pack-ish.

i hadn't been to broadway joes since my roommate quit working there. it was like coming home. i had a great time. a lot of my best memories from college are there. every tuesday for years everyone i know was there. i love that place - as filthy and gross as it is. my junior year of college it was at its pinacle. my best friends band (Philly B-eats) would play every tuesday along others we knew. everyone would come out - it was like a house party for all my friend in the bar every week. relationships started and ended there. a lot of the people i still hang out with are from the original Blu/Broadway Joes group.

i got free regal passes from work. i wanted to go see munich. but i was outvited by jon simon for king kong. i don't think i am gonna make it sitting that long. i am going to sneak in snacks like a rebel mom.

well i am almost embarrassed to be writing right now. i am weak. weak weak weak. friday nite when i was drunk i smoked 3 cigarettes. saturday nite i smoked a few more. blah. last nite i got so excited over 24 i smoked another.

back to square 1.


last year i befriended a girl about my age here at work. we took to eachother quickly as we were a.) the only ones under 40 and b.) the only females in the department. at the time she was in a rough spot as she was living with an ex among other things. finally i convinced her to get out of the apartment. within a few months she got her own place and her own car. it made me so happy to watch this transformation. i could only imagine how hard this was for her as her entire family is in puerto rico. in this time also i convinced her to get on myspace ( and by 'convinced' i mean begged and pleaded.) she was very skeptical. a few days later a guy (a soldier) sent her a message. he requested her a friend. again - skeptical. she asked me what to do. i told her to go for it. i remember saying - "go for it, he is probably just bored. what is he going to do? he can't rape or murder you from Iraq."

this morning she told me they are getting married !


also - as for the party issue. i gave in. saturday nite at my place. byob. come celebrate the anniversary of my birth 24 years ago.

i just comtemplated for the past 10 minutes whether or not to put my address up. i decided against it. email me if you would like to drop in - the more the merrier.
