Sooo yeah. I went up to Portland for work on Thursday,
had a quiet evening watching Law and Order in my hotel room and then I went to the discount theatre in Beaverton and saw Pride and Predjudice. It turns out that the theatre has also turned itself into a Cinema Pub, which I have never really seen a movie at. It's not as elaborate as other's I've seen, but I got to sit in a movie and drink beer and eat pizza. Not half bad. And the theatre was pretty nice considering it's been around forever, I'm glad I got pictures.
On Friday I went to work and then dropped my rental car off at the airport and took the MAX back downtown to meet up with my friend Alex. We didn't have any major plans, just thought we'd grab a bite to eat and have a few drinks and then his wife (my high school friend Sarah) was gonna pick us up and we'd go back to their place in the burbs. I ended up having two Manhattans and then we went to a quick-serve snooty Italian place and got a few beers. All in all a fun time. What really killed me was that Alex suggested we go to Scandals, which was a really fun but laid back gay bar we all got trashed at last time I was up in Portland. Sadly, they changed locations and now it's not so laid back and is much more trendy. ...At any rate, I continued to drink beer, and at that ever so pivotal point in the evening when the last thing you need is another drink, I chose a shot of JAEGER. WTF? Am I retarded? So as you would expect, I returned to Sarah and Alex's house and threw up for quite some time. I was irritated that at one point I couldn't throw up more, but I knew I had to, so I tried the ole' sniff the bowl trick... because they were expecting company, the toilet was all lysol fresh and clean. Every time I sniffed my tummy got more calm. Completely unfair!!!
Saturday was spent being a lazy bitch, watchin game shows and then a Project Runway marathon. It's so unfair that I don't get Bravo at home. Imma make Nick's mom tape it so I can be sure to find out that Daniel wins. Although judging by the stupid Reunion show, many people were picking on Santino so much that I fret that he mighta pulled some uber-ugly-balding-idiot trick to win. Grrr.
Anywho -- today in Sunday and I'm supposed to fly to Reno later, and until then it's more couch sitting. I really enjoy being lazy.
