queer and loathing in the nation's capital
Damn Christmas sucks. I’m pretty much broke already and I’ve only bought four presents.
Must… buy… cheaper… presents…
On a more techincal note, I’ve manage to completely break my site. For $DEITY’s sake don’t even think of looking at a Individual Post right now.
Sometimes you can just tell it’s not going to be a good day. First, I was 15 minutes late to work this morning, so now I have to fill out a leave slip for a half hour of emergency leave. Later, I ran upstairs to the restroom to… well, take care of some business… when I was done I reached over and reached into an empty toilet paper dispenser. I had to wait 10 minutes for the restroom to clear so I could do the Bathroom Cha-Cha over to another, more wipe-friendly stall.
Bad days suck.
Last night, on the other hand was pretty fun. Dan works with such a fascinating mix of people at the hotel and they were out in full effect at their office Christmas party.. French Executives slow dancing to Percy Sledge with the kitchen staff, followed by the GM grinding alongside a Snoop Dogg look-a-like to Missy Elliot’s “Work It”. Bizzare indeed.
I have pictures that I’ll be posting over the weekend.
Marshall, Carlos, Brandon, Alberto and I went to see Mike West play at the Kerry Pub the other night. Excellent show. I’m so glad everyone went. No matter how much I enjoy seeing a live show, it always makes me much happier to turn people on to something new. Alberto really enjoyed Sneaky Pete, Mike West’s sarcastic & mild mannered bass player and told Pete that they could be huge one day – “like a blue grass Tenacious D.” Sneaky Pete had no idea what ‘berto was talking about. :)
I don’t think Brandon knew what to make of it. I don’t see Brandon listening to Bluegrass very often, but I doubt there is anyone who could resist liking Mike and his music.
I took some pictures of the show, but I dropped the camera in the toilet and it must have shorted before I fished it out. (Yes I was drunk) I know it’s wrong on some level, but I’m going to bring it back to Wal-Mart and exchange it for a new one once the LCD screen clears up.
I bought the new CD, New South. Pick it up if you’re so inclined, it’s pretty good. My favorite of Mike’s CDs is still Redneck Riviera. Me O Mi is such a cool little song. Click below for some of Mike’s lyrics.
