Black friday AftermathCategory: mike
(e:mike) and I hit up the stores for black friday. We decided to go to the eastern hills because we figured it would be less busy. It was still pretty packed. we started at 9 and shopped till 4. On the way back we stopped at target because I wanted an electric toothbrush that was on sale. It looked like capitalism had thrown up on the parking lot.

Lady Sparkle FingerCategory: glitter
I asked (e:hodown) to let me snap a new contact photo of her. This is what I got. I am so sad she is gone. I miss here already. This was one of the best visits ever.
One of the best parts was cooking cranberry sauce in the backyard this morning along side a bacon and garden grown swiss chard breakfast.

Divali Party and HaircutCategory: holidays
Finally cut my hair.
Then last night (e:samathon86) took us to a davali party in the suburbs. The food was amazing. The hostess w as so gracious. There was a turkey with cranberry chutney and lots of delicious side dishes. There were also great desserts including a pumpkin, banana creme dessert that was one of the best desserts I ever had. (e:yesthatcasey) and I also wore outfits sent by sameers mom from india.
I liked wearing the outfit and afterwards we hit the town and headed to DBGBs on Allen. I must have fit the part because these american girls wouldn't believe my name was Paul. They kept said things like what is your real name back home? and Don't be shy, what do your parents call you? Its really interesting to be perceived as a foreigner at home.

i was curious to see if (e:Paul) blogged about this or not and indeed he did :) You guys looked great and your experience of ladies asking you your real name proves the outfit suited well enough, Pradeep (thats your indian name Visco) Ha! I am really glad you guys liked the outfits and that we went out dancing to some wub wub music after.. it should be on every ones bucket list ;) I wanna see terry wear that outfit next! Heidi, Salwar Kameez is what you would call a similar outfit worn by a girl but, when guys do, its called Kurta (top/shirt) Pajama(pants). I tried to get Alex excited about this and would have hooked her up with a really nice saree too but she was too shy.. but at the end the party was a +2 instead of +3 so it worked out OK. im going to have a dance party at my place around Christmas or sooner.. tons of indian music, food and people too. So, open invitation guys. I'll create a facebook event once i figure out the details.
