 | Weekend Recap
Current mood:  blah I love my three-year-old, but geez. This past week we went to eat at Jackson's Bar and Grill (or something like that) in Soho. It was very trendy and fun. They had a lot of the skinny, dirty little bartenders that I remember from the restaurant scene from back in the day. They serve really random things on their menu, like fried twinkis and smores. I made several mistakes that evening. 1) This place was not going to be a good environment for a three-year old. 2) We should have sat inside away from the very tempting fountain. 3) A three-year old needs to be confined to a booth. That's just a fact. She did pretty good considering the circumstances, but we all passed out from exhaustion about 15 minutes after we got home.
Friday, after I got off work at 9:30, we drove to Lake Martin. We had a Saturday wedding to go to and we all wanted to get there early. I have somewhere in my memory a distant vision of what a vacation used to be. I still think that this vision might be attainable, but alas.
We arrived at this gorgeous house at like 11:30. Being in a strange house I watched a movie with Mena in bed as she was trying to fall asleep. Once sleep finally came, she wet the bed. This was a like 2. Oh, and when I say bed, I mean me too. So, we had to strip the bed, change clothes and then transfer ourselves to this window seat that is large ennough to be a bed for Mena. I stress Mena in tha tlast sentence, because it was not long enough for me. Did I sleep there anyways? Oh I was there. Not so much sleeping, but I was there.
Anyway the wedding was the next day in the evening. It was outside at another lake house. It had been cloudy all day, but it managed to rain right when the ceremony started. Everyone ran under a gazebo, and they completed the service. Mena was so excited the whole time, totally convinced she was in the presence of royalty. After chasing her around for an hour we went back to the house. John went back to the wedding and said that a small electrical panel outside the house caught fire and they had to call the fire department. Talk about stuff going wrong! The wedding party did have their pictures take with the whole fire team before they left. It will sure make for good memories.
So I'm totally obsessed with Amy Winehouse. I love her sound, but I was a little sad to see her on Best Week Ever throwing up and doing a bad cover of Michael Jackson's "Bad". I still think she's pretty badass, and if I get reincarnated I'd like to give her life a spin.
So I'm just starting to break into the nerdy work of podcasts. So far I've only been introduced to Diggnation (funny funny) TWIT (informative) Tiki Bar (funny) and This American Life (radio show and new tv show on showtime). Anyone else podcasting or vipoding? This type of stuff is excellent for road trips. It make take a little more organization to listen on a regular basis. Anyway, I'm a newb.
Sorry this wasn't really funny or entertaining, sometime you just gotta gripe, and talk about nothing in particular.
P.S. This was Mena at the fountain before dinner. |
