What the hell?

sweet bubble gum

it must have been super late by the time i got home, based on the time stamp of my last post. geesh! no wonder I was laying in bed so late. i was contemplating getting up, when the phone rang in the kitchen. after a bit of fumbling i called alison back. we're on for tonight, meeting omer and heading to vintage and then corner bistro. i am having a fun saturday. absolutely no work. just resume and lounging.

but first, let me tell you about friday.

my boss is convinced i'm interviewing as i showed up in my swanky freshly dry-cleaned pin striped pants and vest. eh, let him think that. so i was at work a total of 5.5 hours yesterday, when i convinced the dev team to come with me to playwright. 1) i was meeting other folks from work there and there's always late - where's the fun in waiting alone? and 2) it can't hurt to have someone else buy you drinks;) As they're Indian, they won't allow a woman to buy them a drink. Sometimes the cultural divide works for you.

We're sitting over there having drinks when in walks my boss. He was looking for the same folks I was waiting for. He chugged his one beer and left at 7 (w/o the crowd having shown up). Course, as soon as he does that, they start trickling in...and out cut my guys. (They can't stand crowds.)

I'm not in a typing mood, so I'm going to quickly summarize the rest. And how best to do that? By what i was drinking:

• another murphy's stout (SO good!) bought by rajeev
  
• another murphy's stout c/o eden (interesting 34 year old brit who actually has fascinating conversation and listening skills)
  
• another murphy's stout c/o the bartender

If you're counting, that's four drinks already. Continuing along our merry way, we embark in a non-taxi ride to a karaoke bar somewhere in the 50's. No idea. But it was on the second floor of some kooky restaurant, chock full of funny, weird people.

• enter warm sake - round one
  
• round two
  
• cosmo
  
• horrible sea breeze
  
• vodka tonic

Not sure why the folks didn't believe, when I insisted on leaving. Cab ride home, well, to erin's apartment, and I'm loving the solitude. There's something to be said for living along. It's awesome!

Alright. I'm going to goof off until I'm ready to shower. I really want to pick up a d-link usb wireless connection thing, and will have to hit a few stores befroe i find any stock. it may even involve a trip up to 86th st.

ugh.
