Yow. What an exhausting weekend it was. It’s good to be back at work where I can take a nap or something.

Friday Night:
We had rehearsal for the next show that I am in. We open up in Mid-February, so I really need to get off my ass and start learning my lines. I get to play a NYPD sergeant. So, I’ll get to walk around with gun, night stick and handcuffs for a couple of weekends. Anybody for a little role playing? Heh, heh.

Saturday:
Yipee! The electrician finally came and finished up the wiring in my bedroom! All the outlets are working. The new ceiling fan is up. The closet light works. I can get my cd rack moved back in (and organized).

Then it was clean, clean, clean, clean, clean, clean for the big Martini Party that night. Even though the house is back in some order it was still a mess of dust and dirt that required quite some time to get up. I really need to get back on my Sunday morning cleaning schedule.

That night the big party was under way. The whole reason for this do was to celebrate the birthdays of Sherry and Francis. The b-day gals seemed to have a great time. The house was full of candles. Jazz music was playing on the stereo. Ice was rattling in the cocktail shaker. I started making drinks about 6:30-ish and didn’t stop until around 11:00. Talk about exhausting. But everyone seem super-pleased with the drinks that were flowing … and trust me, a lot of liquor flowed through that party. The favorite drinks of the night seemed to be the Naked Lady, Chocolate and French Martini. I tried an impromptu recipe called the Spider Bite which is Vodka, Malibu Rum, Angostura Bitters and Lime and really like it. The people actually drinking them thought they were too strong. Hello! It’s a martini. It’s supposed to be strong. A drunk Francis and I talked late into the night after bar had been closed. I think we have almost talked ourselves into going together and getting tattoos. How crazy is that? Needless to say, I had no time to take any pictures. There were some cameras floating around, so I will see who I can harass and get some posted. Good friends. Good food. Good drinks. Great party.

Sunday:
I was a slob and laid on the couch all day. I mustered enough energy about 4:00 to get to the grocery store. And I rented “Shaun of the Dead” as well. What a kickin’ movie. Very much worth renting if’n you like zombies and such.

And now that I have typed all this, I’m gonna take my first nap of the day.
