What was I doing in Miami?

Oh... I'll resize the picture and submit another post. Trust me guys, its worth it. I took some really nice pictures but the ones I had hoped would turn out great didn't. They were blurry. I suck at nighttime photography.

I didn't get a chance to talk about the party last weekend - I had a great time! (e:terry) is a wild man. Of course, I hope the beautiful and talented dynamic duo of (e:tina) and (e:lilho) had a good time. (e:jason) and I will surely crash the Halloween bash, but I don't think our dream of dressing up as a soldier/detainee combo is going to happen.

If my life last night was written as a narrative, and if I was in fact a conceited bastard, it would start something like this -

I smirk as I sip my Chivas Regal while the regular people take the walk of shame through first class.

My boss upgraded my ticket for me, which I thought was super cool. Did anybody see the moon last night? The view was magnificent from the air.

I started reading The Da Vinci Code this week - excellent book.

Miami is the shit, 'nuff said. Last night we went to Bayside as a group to have dinner at Bubba Gump's. Then we took a boatride around the bay - beautiful! We even went by Star Island. I saw Shaq's house. Some 42-year old single guy has a house as big as Shaq's, and a boat the length of my house. Ladies, there you go!

Tonight we go for dinner at Lario's, which is located in South Beach and owned by Gloria Estefan. I got some nice nighttime pictures of Miami from the boat - when I come home I will share.

Ciao -

Well, I went to do my shopping, as I've promised to my dear readers. I got a sweet Kenneth Cole jobby, but I'm a little unsure about it. Actually (and please don't take offense to this, gay contingent) but I was wondering to myself before I bought it, "Is this too gay for me to be wearing? I'll let you be the judge. I wasn't able to get my North Face vest because THEY DIDN'T HAVE IT IN STOCK! I asked if there was somewhere else that they knew would carry it, and they said "not anywhere around here." Fuck. I guess I'm ordering it online. So, dear readers, I'll have my new shirt but not my new vest.

Now, on to things that are more important. I got a bottle of Maker's and some sour mix. Its on like Donkey Kong tonight!

Hey, some new (e:peeps)!

Anyhow, I skipped out of work early today and went over to Globe - I had the cuban reuben and some of the chicken and leeks soup - excellent! I'm continually amazed at the quality of the food there. I've never been disappointed with any of the soups I've tried there, and I'll pretty much try anything. The "strangest" I think I've had there was a lamb meatball and israeli couscous soup. Its freaking delicious.

My plan for the next couple days is to do NOTHING. I'm officially off until I leave for Miami on Sunday. I've decided to definitely buy some new gear on Friday. I kind of have an idea of what I want, but hopefully I won't have to spend too much time at the mall. I hate the mall! I'm gonna buy a long sleeve shirt, preferably an indigo color or something very dark like midnight blue. Stripes or solid. Plus I realized that I still have the same Eddie Bauer vest that I bought in 1997. Entonces, I am going to get a black North Face vest.

I've seriously spent way too much money at Spot lately.

hey that place (e:hodown) was talking about has sausages called "the whitey" and "the guido" - I'm sold.
