The too-tired summary sort of thing. Part One.
- Last Friday night: Christina and & went to Grand Rapids, hung out w/ psychoticangels for a bit then met Paul @ Mulligan's for some drinks. I had a particularly delightful time... and I just realized all three of the people I socialized with that night are Pisces. WEIRD. I also picked up a California Pizza Kitchen bbq chicken pizza & a 12pack of Beck's Dark on the way home.
- Sunday: Woke up fairly early (read: before noon), donned my apron, and spent the entire day in the kitchen cooking & baking. Pumpkin spice muffins, blueberry whole wheat muffins, apple filled coffee cake, smoky chicken salad w/ apples, and a red wine vinagrette were among my triumphs.
- Monday: Went to Detroit (with all the previous day's efforts packed securely into a cooler) w/ Aziza to see Dendura play w/ Edguy @ the I-Rock. Apparently there was some sort of shenanigans regarding the motel room situation, so we got two singles instead of one double. Hmm.... interesting! The rooms had concrete block walls and the front facade windows were plastic (Paul knew the particular term for them, but it escapes me at present). Our room had plastic glow-in-the-dark stars stuck to the ceiling above the bathtub and the toilet lid didn't fit the size of the toilet. All in all, it was rather seedy & campy... which will make for good stories, indeed. The show itself was AWEXOME, in spite of the unseasonable heat & humidity.
- Tuesday: Barely slept (perhaps 15 minutes or so...) and woke up to the ever-so-charming Steve & Aziza pounding on the door / plastic windows... I think there may have been some mooning involved, I'm not sure, I was barely awake... I decided it would be rather dramatic to answer the door wearing nothing but the bedspread (which was easier than finding my pajamas, actually), only to have Steve grab the bedspread and run down the "hall". I'm not quite certain I can accurately call it a "hall" as it was outdoors... ...however, it was the second most hilarious thing that happened during our stay in the Motor City. The first being one of the conversations from the night before, when we were hanging out/drinking/etc. in the motel room after the show... something about the most unusual things we've seen someone sodomized with in a porn flick. Mike commented that he'd seen a girl take a turkey leg up the ass and Steve immediately responded, "Was it raw or cooked? I mean, couldn't she get salmonella?" QUOTE OF THE DAY / NIGHT / WEEK / MONTH / YEAR!!
Today? Don't even get me started about today. I did call the Corporate Vice-President a crybaby & a whiner, tho. It was pretty amusing. Werk was immensely stressful. The computer I was working on rebooted itself around noon and I lost the entire morning's work on the project I had almost completed. Needless to say, I was less than pleased. I got home, ran a hot bubble bath, slipped into the tub, and cracked open a Leinenkugel's Oktoberfest. I called a nice boy, then he called me back and that cheered me up immeasurably.
I am going to bed early. More later or tomorrow.
