Oh dear, we’re really lacking in the update department. Even friends of ours who are notoriously bad at updating their sites have made multiple updates since our last. I blame Pat. Pat, and the rising gas prices. Err, well…something like that.

Let’s see, last Thursday I went to the infamous Tiki Bob’s with Melodie, Ray, Marcel, and Marcel’s friends Maura and Riley. Overall, it was quite humorous, but I was completely sober, which was kind of a bust. I’m not saying I need to drink to have fun, but it sure would have helped. God bless anyone who can have a great time at Tiki Bob’s sober. The highlight of the evening was watching the array of weirdos that hit on Ray.

Friday, I had another work function to go to. This time, it was a happy hour at the Old Toad. A ton of people from work were there. There were quite a few people there that I can only assume pretty much never get out. The tell-tale sign is the double-fisting drunkenness at 7 in the evening. See people, if you go out on a regular basis, you make an ass of yourself on the rare occasion in front of your friends, rather than 30 of your closest co-workers. I’m just sayin’.

Saturday, we had a visit from Justin M. It was the first time we’ve seen him since he left for Iraq over a year ago. He’s been home for a few weeks, so he decided to stop by for the night. It was great to see him and catch up. That night we packed in all sorts of things. We visited with Rebecca for a while, went to Lux to celebrate Sara L’s birthday for a little while, went to Martini Grill for a really little while, and then went to Sport’s Page. Um, so maybe you’ve already read about the Sport’s Page fiasco on Cima or Amy’s sites, but just in case you haven’t, I will summarize the events. Okay, so we got a few pitchers there and, thankfully, were finishing up when some guy stumbled past us. He was noticeably drunk and looked like he was in the need of a bathroom, yet he walked right past the bathrooms…into the KITCHEN. All of our spidey senses were going off. We knew something was amiss. There is a window in the kitchen door and a couple people in our group peeked through it to see what was going on. The guy was relieving himself in the sink!! We all kind of scattered and Pat Reed told a bartender what happened. She just looked kind of nervous about the whole thing and tells a bouncer. The bouncer laughs and says, “Oh, that guy works here.” WTF!

Oh, after the urination fiasco of 2004, we were kind of milling around trying to figure out what was going on and I ran into my old friend Chad from college. He reminded me what AWESOME photographer I am and said he wants me to shoot some stuff for him. I am now trying to think of what I want to shoot. It’s time to get artsy, I think.

Not much else going on this week, except some people from work are getting together for a kickball game, which I’m looking forward to. I think I’ll be sitting this first game out. Here is the kick-ass trailer that Michael made for the event. It helps if you actually know the people in the trailer, but it should be funny nonetheless.
