melcreada: (nana pretentious bitch)

Whew...I actually worked really long hours here at the house. JP said I sounded snippy and short-tempered on the phone the other day and I was all OHNOES!!! But, hey, sometimes being a bitch is called for.

I picked up my new glasses! They are black with pink accents. Again, way too excited but I don't care. It's the little things...

This weekend, I have decided to get my quesadilla and margarita ON. I don't know where or when, but I need to make this happen.

Speaking of which, I better go balance my checkbook. I think THAT will determine where we go...

I am drunk and it is glorious.

Fin.

HOORAY THE WEEKEND IS HERE!!!

I am going to go make myself a michelada and maybe do my nails! Oh, the excitement!

Ha, ha - I am drinking something called 'Start at 8pm, Be Drunk at 8:10pm'

It's just Sprite and Absolut Kurant (yes, still - I can only take so many shots, people). I modified it by adding some maraschino cherries and their juice. Mmmm, tasty!

I went to the grocery store earlier and spent a ridiculous amount of money, although later I was thrilled to find that the cashier charged me for bing instead of ranier cherries, thus saving me $2. Woo!

This entry is more cherry-related than I planned. Blame it on the freakin' vodka.

I am very happy right now, which is not necessarily related to the vodka (although any misspellings are).

I have decided that I would like to go dancing. Not right now, as obviously I have no one to go with. But soon and for the rest of my life...

ANYWAY. I think it's time to go watch some Netflix or something because I am ITCHING to buy new music and the impulse must be SQUASHED.

Also, tomorrow I am planning to try and recreate the FABULOUS macademia nut-encrusted trout I had in Kemah. Wish me luck!

The extent to which I am craving a cherry vodka sour (or four) cannot be measured with modern-day devices.

Anyone care to join?

Okay, I had to post a link to this picture because. It is Rupert Grint. In his ice cream truck. That he owns. Mr. Whippy. How cute it that?! Gives me the warm fuzzies, that one.

I went shopping the other day and I guess it's just me being grumpy, but seriously. It is in the mid-90s here in south Texas (please weep for me) and ALL the stores are stocked with sweaters. Sweaters. Don't get me wrong. I have a long-standing love affair with sweaters. They are my rock, in good times and bad. But really. Also, the one thing I hate about shopping is its crack-like effect. I immediately want to start buying things all the time. Hmmm. 

I am listening to U2's Achtung Baby and re-living some funny, painful, drink-induced, hazy memories of 1992. Yes. Oh, noes!

So, Saturday, after a full day's work, I went out with the gang. I loved Swig. I loved the dark panelling and the jazz music and the kick-ass dirty vodka martinis. Unfortunately, the gang hated the pricey drinks and pretentious crowd, so after a while we went to another club. Still, all in all, had a good time and was careful not to drink too much.

Although that seemed to make no difference to my head in the morning. But I glugged some Gatorade and popped some aspirin and was ready to go when JP took me to the early showing of Stranger Than Fiction. I thought it was a terrific movie! I don't know if I am seeing through clear eyes, given that I am an Emma Thompson fan and a Will Farrell freak. But I liked the story and how they went about telling it. Wonderful and highly recommended, especially if you are a bibliophile. *literary squee*

Afterwards, I came home and slept like the dead. Huzzah for loooong afternoon naps!

Later, the whole family (sans Davy-boy, who is sick) turned up for dinner at Outback Steakhouse to celebrate various December birthdays and anniversaries. I got lots of cool gifties and one disgusting cake. Here's a question for the cooks: does substituting olive oil for regular vegetable oil make a cake taste like ass? My sister, bless her and her wannabe-McGyver intentions, did this and I was just wondering. Hee, hee.

Oh, yeah and I got a third compliment on my haiku t-shirt. Almost no one in San Antonio gets this, save the bitter service industry. Ah, well.

Why is it I have such elaborate, freaky dreams after I have been drinking? And why do I remember them at all? Last night, Roberta and I went bar hopping and ended up downtown. Which is a great place to be on a Saturday night, when it is cool but not cold and you are almost tipsy but not quite  and music and people are spilling out onto the street  from all the clubs and bars and restaurants and the noise is both pleasant and comforting.

Afterwards, I came home and fell into yet another funky dream. We were in the future, in a very sterile, surgical environment. Very clean and empty. The government in power was a dictatorship and they controlled everything and everyone down to the way we dressed and behaved. The most common form of punishment for minor infractions was the cutting off of one or both hands, depending on what you actually did. So, although I didn't see too many other people in my dream, I can imagine almost everyone...didn't have hands.

The dream kicks into high gear when the secret police appear at my door to take me in for some sort of minor violation. Before leaving the house, they tell me to remove my rings, watch, and bracelet. Chilling. After that, the dream degenerates into a meandering maze of me trying to talk my way out of the punishment in the police offices. Scary and somewhat silly. I mean what the Hell does this society do with so many citizens running around without hands?

*cough*

I think I will take a nice, long bath today - Big Blue or Karma? Hmmm.

Well, I'm not really drunk - just enjoying a few Dos Equis while watching The Family Stone. Excellent movie in one respect: I think they perfectly capture the insular quality of really close families. My family and I are guility of some of these traits, so I cringed a bit, even when Sarah Jessica Parker's character was being an uptight pill. Wonderfully, subtly done, some of the scenes. 

And speaking of drinking, I find that as I get older, I enjoy drinking at home where I can relax. I'm not worried about anyone else, not wondering about how I'm going to get home, and not afraid to get emotional/maudlin (um, more so than normal). It's rather comforting, although I do drink alone. My deep fear of hangovers thankfully keeps me in check. Seriously. Hangovers get worse and worse as you get older. So if any of you young'uns feel the deep desire to experience one, I suggest you do so before you hit 30.

I swear the iTunes radio DJ just called the piece I was listening to Pinche (fucking or fucker depending on how it is used in a sentence) Songs for the Sabbath. Okay, officially the last beer of the night.

In other news, I am typing this entry with the keyboard on my lap because earlier the rollout part of my desk that holds said keyboard FELL OFF. WTF?! It just came undone. Thank goodness my knees broke its fall. Ouch.

Side note: iTunes' Magnature Classical station that plays all Renaissance and baroque music is teh awesome.

G'night, flist.

Ooooh, my hip hurts. Suprisingly, everything else is okay. Tummy is a little shaky, but after I eat a couple of meals, I should be okay.

I had yet another freaky dream last night. Since it was so emotional towards the end, I can't recall it with great detail, but I'm listing what I do remember here. Cut for those not interested in the creepy inner workings of my mind.

Ugh. Just woke up a little while ago. Staying out until 3:30 in the morning is something that needs to be relegated to the under-30 crowd ONLY. I enjoy going to clubs to dance and people watch, but there are limits. When a guy wearing sunglasses comes up to me and tries to greet me via punching his knuckles to mine, that limit has pretty much been reached.

The thing that fascinates me about this is that all the guys in that club were exactly the same. I'm sure in the real world, they have personalities and whatnot, but in the club they are all Lame Pick Up Artist. It's interesting to watch. When I had finally dragged the last co-worker out of the club, I gratefully retrieved my car and went home only to discover that JP had placed a giant Gandalf the White action figure on my computer. <3

Yay for eccentricities!
