So I was on Twitter last night. Unusual, I know. Heh. Anyway Joelle tweeted about going to Lamplighter. I called down to Richard asking if he wanted to go. (I had earlier made a stink about wanting to skip going out to dinner, so I am sure he thought I was nuts) The next thing I knew we were changing and out the door! We hadn’t seen Joelle in a while, so of course we weren’t going to miss it. Plus, girl can sing so it’s fun to watch her in a karaoke bar. Actually, it’s fun to watch others watch her in a karaoke bar. Heh. Anyway, she sung, we gabbed, we laughed… a lot. The cocktails were as strong as ever. We all looked amazing. It was a great time!

Maybe one of these days I’ll be brave enough to get up and sing. 

Naw. That won’t ever happen…

[Okay, so I took the sex poll off the top. I would still like you to go vote if you haven’t already. It’s interesting.]

So last night was Kathy Griffin. It was awesome. I really like her, which as a gay I think I am ‘supposed to’ so it’s fine. She talked about all my favorite celebs, YouTube, and the internet. All my favorite things really. I really wasn’t expecting her to be on stage as long as she was. Actually I wasn’t expecting her show to be like it was at all. I mean, when you think comedy you think like Comedy Central style, right? She was more like just a pal talking about her week. Her week was just a hell of a lot funnier than mine. What a great time! I can’t wait until she comes to town again. I am so there!!

Anyway, after the show we kinda parted ways and started heading off to our cars. 2 of our group were in the same direction and we started walking together. We didn’t stay walking together. Sometimes I think we all don’t get along. Is that weird? Anyways, last night was like that even though it was really a blast. Like I said we didn’t stay walking together. They just kept trotting along even after Richard said he needed to walk slower (he has been working like a million hours lately and is just sore). Catty remarks were made. I slowed down with Richard. Obviously we fell behind. Then we were a lot behind. Finally I was like ‘screw this’ and suggested we stay on Shelter Island while the mad rush to leave was going on. There were a lot of people out and the vibe was great. So we veered over towards a very tropical looking hotel thinking we’d have a quick drink while traffic died down. I think there is only the one way off the Island… So the hotel turned out to be a Best Western. LOL. At the bar there was an Australian gal drowning her sorrows over her fathers wedding the following day. She was there with friends, and apparently the whole family was staying there. It’s a long dramatic story… Suffice it to say, she was a bit drunk. She also seemed to like Richard and I and kept trying to buy our drinks. Then she started buying tequila shots. For the whole bar. (I had no idea at the time, but Richard may have had one or two...) It turned out to be a pretty crazy night with all that we witnessed from our new friends and their family that eventually made it to the bar. Heh. I hope they all feel okay at the wedding. Alcohol is a very dangerous drug.

Anyhoo. I had to be up for work so we left the Aussies to their night of frolic at the Best Western and headed home.

So after only 2 dive bars and 3 cocktails our magical dive bar tour was done for the night. I actually made it home at a decent hour and went to bed. It was a fun evening tho… Plus, I had an idea. But I think it’s a good idea so members only yo. Plus no comments, use the contact form with any feedback. I want feedback, but I want my idea super secret!!

I have no hangover. I woke up at my normal time and started my household chores like any other day off… I partied responsibly yo.

Now why I feel I needed to tell the internet that, I am not sure. Maybe it was the fact that the last post was ’brought to you by booze‘? Or was it that I just got a text message inquiring about my hungovered-ness…

Tonight I think I discovered my new favorite place. It is called, quite simply, Martinis. I love it there. First off, there is an elevator to get up there. Fabulous, right? Especially on Girls Night (where oddly there is always only one girl, but that kinda makes sense if you know Sheila. She is loved..) so those in heels aren’t climbing stairs… It’s in the gayborhood. The decor is great, and it seems to be a great mixed crowd. The pretty people, the average, and a few of the tragic. Heh. Srsly, there was a group of people playing quarters with their martinis. Not pretty. Oh! I didn’t mention the best part about this place. The martinis! There must have been sixty different kinds.. Kinda overwhelming, but in that good way. Plus, the glasses are really enormous.  I have decided I want my birthday in that place. Maybe the next one at least. And just imagine it, with my new diet there can be no cake. So obviously there will be a theme martini! I am sure they could do one that tastes like cake…

I have to admit. I do feel bad. It is a good friend’s birthday. Well, not today actually. It was Thursday. I guess you could say it’s Birthday Week. There have been things planned everyday since Thursday. So far we have missed every one of them. Isn’t that just awful? And it’s totally unavoidable. We work retail and it is Easter week. Ain’t nobody getting a day off… no one will swap shifts either. We are closing! So we are a bit stuck.

Anyway, last night was supposed to be fabulous. Rooftop cocktails downtown or something. I really would have loved that! But then I saw this post at Fred’s, and something made me feel better. Specifically the part that says “It’s the morning after, and all I can say is, I’m never drinking again.  Oy Vey!”. Perhaps better to have missed that, as I woke up bright-eyed and bushy tailed this morning… Heh!

Still, I have to say Happy Birthday Sheila. You are a treasure, and I hope Birthday Week is amazing! We’ll see you tomorrow…

Ow. My head…

One thing I have been doing to loose weight is avoid sugar. There is a lot of sugar in booze. So, I have been avoiding booze. Well last night I was in a celebratory mood (OMG iPhone!!) so I had Richard whomp me up some Appletinis. I had 4. Four doesn’t really sound like a lot. Well, it does… but I had 2 before dinner and feasted on tacos before I had the last 2. Apparently that was more than enough to render me useless this morning. I slept poorly. I am sure due to all the sugar my body isn’t used to. My head hurts. I am dehydrated. I probably smell.

Ew.

I am missing the big breakfast with ‘the group’. Luckily no one was really expecting me for that. Everyone knows I am NOT a morning person. So now I have an hour or 2 to rebuild myself and get cute. I AM expected for shopping.

Where’s mai Advil?
