Thursday: April 09, 2009 - Thirsty Thursday
Last night Becky and I set off to celebrate the first Thirsty Thursday at the Mad Hatter. The original plan was to go to Front Page but with $2 Coronas every douche bag and slut in the greater DC Metro region was there so we down to the Mad Hatter instead. I got to try my hand at c*ck-blocking for the first time and did pretty fair. I'm a much better wingman. Everyone at the bar was small--I felt like giant among men which does not happen often. It was like a hobbit festival. A douchey hobbit festival. A doubbit festival. Next Thirsty Thursday is at the Zoo for "Grapes with the Apes" and after that a party at the Swedish Embassy. I didn't actually get into the Embassy party yet but Becky did so I'm sure with her billions of connections I'll find a way in.
Next week I have a meeting at the New Zealand Embassy to see if I can get a piece performed while Steve and I are there. It's not looking good but what good are fame and influence if you don't at least attempt to use them.
I have no Easter plans for the first time in my adult life. I guess that's not entire true since I believe Brisland (at Marsh Sands) was discovered on Easter and there were no formal exploratory plans that day. Maybe Chompy and I will have an easter egg hunt with squirrel-flavored eggs for her and iced venti vanilla latte-flavored ones for me.
Good Things Take Time...
2 days until FSU Football (2010)
Random Picture... This beach was inaccessible to me which was too bad.

· 09-02-200609-02-2009: I think I have the swine flu. I think I caught it during the Counting Crows concert then brought it back. I took the liberty of passing it along to 100+ college students in the hopes of teaching them a valuable history lesson about settlers and smallpox blankets (right Steve?) I actually do feel a little bit better today but I've also slept away the gross majority of the past three days. Tomorrow I have to go back to school and I can't call in sick so by 10am I'll know how bad I have it depending on how many students I inadvertently killed on Wednesday.
Football starts tonight. Thank God. Too bad I'll be asleep and have to miss the first two games. On Monday Tim and Chris are going to come over to watch FSU whomp Miami. Back to bed.09-02-2008: Ok, seriously, we're playing MarioKart tonight at 8pm. SERIOUSLY.
I got sick last night around 10pm for no reason. Just a regular cold but it came out of nowhere and by the time I woke around 2:30pm this afternoon it had almost totally gone away. Weird. I ordered ESPN GamePlan yesterday so now I can watch up to six college football games at once. This is grossly unnecessary but really, few things in life are really all that necessary. The Cubs can't clinch a playoff spot fast enough--my big TV awaits!
I also picked up Ab last night and she and Chompy covered my bed in dirt after running around in the clay before coming in. Speaking of clay, I read that some people crave eating clay while pregnant. Weirdy. Since I'm phoning in today's entry, here's a video that's worth the watch (with FSU alum Richard Simmons no less).
I took the day off blogging but only because I was thinking of you.09-02-2006: After laboring in coal-mine like conditions for the past 11 months I was pleased to get Labor Day off. Over the weekend the only major
thing I "accomplished" was buying a new TV for my office. I got it at Home Depot of all places but I wanted a 15" LCD and didn't want to spend $350 at Best Buy for a crap-brand when I could spend $250 at Home Depot for a Magnavox. The TV it replaced did not change channels or allow you to adjust the volume more than once a week. Usually each Sunday I'd decide what channel and volume to watch for the week and then hate my decision to choose Lifetime (hey, Fraiser was on) on near-mute. The new TV is nice and it looks good next to my two flat-screen monitors. Booyah.
