woooo, time finally flies
so, after getting home wednesday night, and staying up till 8am for no reason other than That's How I Do (whether i want to or not), i woke up about noon and called michelle to see if she was going to be in work thursday (she'd had a panic attack wednesday and left just me and george to close).
seeing as how adam deitch had canceled i wasn't exactly going to make the big bucks on thursday, so i begged out to get to boston early. caught the 3:30 bus and STILL didn't get to boston till, like, 9. lame.
whatever.
we went back jenna's (after they finally found me) and spent the night just relaxing and watching adult swim.
Friday we woke up around noon (why?! WHY!?) and farted around till 2. finally, we had to admit watching "Jersey Girl" was not more compelling than going to cape cod, so we piled in rett's car and hopped out to the far land for the evening. neither jenna nor i had ever been, so it was fun and exciting. also, provincetown is the gayest place east of the mississip. east of san francisco, really.
so, it goes without saying that cape cod was GREAT. we had delicious not too expensive food (we found the ONE not-horribly-expensive-place in all cape cod), and walked along the piers and boardwalks and bought silly gifts at the gift shops and played with clothes and in general had a Really Great Evening.
oh, and i was wearing a vest the whole time. just for jenna ;)
anyway, we got back to boston around midnightish, and there was more tv watching and a little drinking. actually, more than a little for me and rett, but, whatev.
saturday, again with the waking up Oh My God Early (before noon), because we had biiiig plans for the day. it was jenna's birthday after all. first we went to the beantown jazz fest, and listened to great drummers and jazz artists and artists in general. plus, jamaican food and fried dough :) if only jenna hadn't covered half of it in salt on accident ;)
we tested our brain ages (i'm 40...) and almost went to a wine tasting, but then we remembered - The Fluff Festival. Yes, kids, a whole street fair dedicated to fluff. there were fluffernutters, and rice crispy treats, and cholocate & fluff icecream, and the fluff challenge and a castle made of rice crispy treats, and fluff dancers and singers and fluff girls. we got jenna a balloon animal crown, and ate more sugar than should be legal, and then we went to the independence for lupper. i had tasty but expensive pasta. the kids had tasty but undercooked burgers. rett had a fluff and champagne drink. jenna had a peanutbutter fluff and chocolate cupcake. it was all rather fantastic.
did i mention jenna and i had been drinking all afternoon? yeah. maybe we were a bit more enthusiastic than usual.
anywho, we stopped in back home to get more clothes, and then we drove down to providence (no, rett hadn't been drinking) for fire on the water. it was very pretty and we talked and laughed and ate a huge bag of cotton candy and broke glow sticks and alienated the people around us with inappropriate discussions and took pictures, and jenna and i drank and drank while rett watched. there were many phone calls made on the way home, plus crazy singing, and we got an ice cream cake at the store and were crazy in the store, and ret and i decorated the cake ourselves (it was beeeeeyouteafull) trick candles and all. then more drinking, asshole playing and finally passing out in the middle of spaceballs.
now, i'm awake at 10am. Why?! Why god? jenna's making breakfast, rett is sleeping and i'm thinking "but...i don't wanna go!". trying to talk them into coming to visit for schmitty's birthday. we'll see.
i move today. the next time i write in this, i'll be living in dc. this excites me :)
