people were getting pissed at the $2 cover charge recently instilled at the door of luna. i find this amusing. they are free drinks people. are you not going to go anymore now because you have to pay $.10 a drink. come on.

the boys got throw out of big shots for mancing. seriously. i don't know what is funny - that they were at big shots or were thrown out for dancing to sexually with eachother.
speaking of - i have a picture of them dancing last nite with who i think is (e:terry) in the background. or maybe his twin. i can't get the picture up though. i will try tmw. it is driving me nuts.

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.
