Thanks for the birthday wishes here and over on Facebook!  Sadly, one of the presents I received seems to be a cold.=/

I've been thinking about the annual Meat Fountain Expedition.  Malibu Grill is now half Brazilian churrascaria, half Chinese restaurant. o_O  It hasn't gotten great reviews on Yelp lately.   I can get a certificate for Texas de ( Read more... )

Today is "GeeCee's birthday (observed)" in the office, apparently.  Whee!  Going to lunch at the new Bertucci's,  and I've been showered with cards and gift certificates.  As a bonus, I only had 35 messages waiting for me in my inbox today, woohoo!

(Boy, does that sounds like it could be NSFW.)

Okay, since it was mostly a wash between one weekend and t'other, I've been lame enough not to give enough advance notice, and brian1789 will be in town that weekend, let's go with next Saturday, April 25, for the annual Natal Celebration at the Carousel of Meat.

D'oh. I just realized it's almost time for my apparently annual Meat Fountain Birthday Celebration, aka "meet folks for dinner at Malibu Grill in Fair Lakes". I haven't given it much thought yet, so I figured I'd throw this out there and see what day works best for folks. Click away, local omnivores!

Had a fabulous pre-birthday dinner on Saturday night. Ten of us showed up, and for almost three hours we drank deeply from the Meat Fountain and yakked. By the time we wrapped things up it was after 10 PM; rather than go play pool as I'd originally thought, a couple of us went back to play Guitar Hero. Good times, and it was great to meet a cool ( Read more... )

Making a dinner reservation for 12 for Malibu Grill tonight. I know for sure of 9 people who will be there; if there's anyone else who's definitely coming (that hasn't sent me email already), let me know!

The "Meat Faucet" birthday dinner seemed to work out okay last year, so I think I'll try it again. Anyone want to join me? Malibu Grill in Fairfax, 7:30 (?), this coming Saturday night the 19th.** Am strongly considering rolling myself over to Bungalow Billiards for pool and beer afterwards. Let me know if you'll be joining us (or if you're ( Read more... )

That was a lot of fun.

I decided to not actually spend all day cleaning the house, figuring that it was my birthday, dammit, and so long as it wasn't about to be condemned then people would be okay. Instead I went out and picked up a quarter-sheet birthday cake from Wegmans slathered in their addictive buttercream frosting (110% fat, 50% sugar ( Read more... )

I had absolutely no problem with turning thirty, I kind of enjoyed it even. Thirty-six, however, is mildly freaking me out for some reason; I don't know if it's because I'm now officially closer to forty than to thirty (not that I'm particularly stressed out about forty) or if it's just because saying it illustrates the disconnect between the age ( Read more... )
