Dane Cooked--and we ate it UP!!!

Holy cow, last night was incredible! Me and Karen bought dinner for Zack & Tiff at Greenblatt's deli right next door to where DANE COOK was about to perform at the Laugh Factory! Tiff should open for him instead of whoever that little guy is. Tiff had us rolling during dinner--she was making her baked potato talk! LOL! I swear, she's so twisted!!! I wasn't even sure I had any laughter left in me--until Dane came to the stage!

He is SO funny! I was worried that he wasn't going to live up to all the hype, but MAN does he bring a HUGE energy to the show! It's overpowering, and mark my words: people will compare seeing him to seeing like the Beatles or Elvis (not the Thai one!) He is a true performer!!!

I had two jack & cokes--then had one more as part of Karen's two drink min. because she's a lightweight! Hahha! Dane did this whole routine about how in your group of friends, you always hate "The Karen!" THEN he said that in his group, they all hate THE BRIAN! Hahhahah!!!! I really thought we were all going to pass out from laughing so hard!

It was also on one of his CDs and you can hear it here:

Kar-port!

Last night, I picked up "KarKar" (As Tiff calls her) at LAX and I was going to take her to dinner, but after waiting an hour for her bags, we decided to just get some McDonald's and head to her place because she was so wiped out. So we just opened a bottle of port and munched on our #2s (Hold the pickels, please!) and watched Two & a Half Men.

Actually...I watched it and she fell asleep sitting on the sofa. So I finished my glass of port (and her fries) and went to sleep in her bed. She was a little annoyed this morning that I didn't wake her up, but she just looked so peaceful there, my poor KareBear! At least I took the fries off of her lap! (Delicious.)

Anyway, I told her she needed her rest because tonight--in just a few short hours--Dane Fucking Cook is at the Laugh Factory! I am SO PUMPED for this!!

Mondazed

Wow...what a loooong weekend it was. Too many drinks and not enough Karen!

She's on a flight right now from Detroit, and I can't freaking wait to pick her up! I was going to surprise her by making her dinner at her place, but her roommate Debbie thinks I'll burn the place down. Hahahha...she's probably right! Oh well--i'll just take her out tonight to someplace quiet. And Warm! She's been in the winter for the past week. That SUXX!

But tomorrow night is going to be a REAL surprise for her because Zack just called to tell me that Tiff scored us some tix to see DANE FUCKING COOK at the Laugh Factory! Holy shit, that guy is SO GREAT! I can NOT wait. He puts on such a great show--he kills me! (Don't worry Tiff--I still think you're funnier! haha..NOT!)

It's gonna be NUTS!

Just a few more hours left till Karen comes home!

Cheers!

Oscar Buzzed!

Just got back from Dawyne & waynes' oscar party. I didn't win the pool, but had fun anyway. Their friends are totally cool, and brought all kinds of food to the party! Like OSCAR the Grouch cupcakes! Really creative stuff! I drank a lot this weekend, so I didn't want to do too much more damage to my liver, so I just did a shot of the Goldshlager someone brought. They did shots every time a gold statue was handed out, but I just did one! By the way: When Will Farrell came out, couldn't you just die? And then JACK BLACK joined him! It was AWESOME! Those guys are always so funny!!!

This weekend was crazed---Friday night Tiff & Zack took me out dancing in Hollywood...then last night, we went to the Good Luck bar. Tiff is TROUBLE...I'm serious, zack, you'd better watch out for her! LOL! You should hear the way she talks to people! hahah! Man, i don't know how she does it!

We met a bunch of awesome people there, and Tiff made me drink SO much, I almost hurled. They dropped me off really late last night and I barely even made it to the bed.

Karens back tomorrow, thank God! I pick her up right after work and i can't wait to see my doll!!!!

math

2 days and 8 drinks and a zack and a tiff minus a karen = drunk brian!!!!!!!!!!

Blue Suede Foods

Last night, I was telling Dwayne about how much I miss Karen, so he offered to check me out of the "Heartbreak Hotel" and take me to the Palms restaurant. Wayne joined us later just as the legendary Thai Elvis took the stage! I never get tired of watching that guy! He's by far the best Elvis since Elvis! LOL!

I was totally going to order #69, but maybe I'll save that for Karen. I can't wait to "Love Her Tender" ;)

Seriously, though, I ordered Beef and Broccoli and a bottle of their Thai Beer. I never had it before... and I won't again. It tasted a little bit like feet with soy and curry. It was probably brewed in the Jailhouse--but it certainly did not Rock! I only got about half way through my glass before I ordered a Thai Iced Tea to wash the taste out of my mouth. The combo was almost lethal and I got a Hunka-Hunka Heartburn afterwards! I could barely finish my food...but I did finish my one beer for the night, so all is still well.

TGIF!

George Mope-ez

Last night, I finished off the two cans of Busch Beer that were left over from the BBQ the other day at D&W's. I got bummed out while watching George Lopez because me and Karen just LOOOVE watching it together. I was hoping we could watch it while talking on the phone, but I totally forgot about the time difference in Detroit. She callled me as I was leaving work to tell me she was watching it and missing me.

She must have known how disappointed I was that we weren't hanging out, because she e-mailed me this today:

Hey Boo!

This made me think of you! Is this what it's like at your office??

See you in a few days!

Smooches!


LOL! Isn't she great? I tried that this morning, but it didn't work. Oh well...there's always tomorrow!

Cheers!

PARTY GRAS!

DAAAANG! So much for goin home after waork. Zack convinced me to go to Dimples for Fat Tuesday. Zack's a madman with the mic, so I agreed to go for one drink. I do NOT sing...but Zack brought teh HOUSE DOWWWWN with his rendition of MONY MONY! (HEY! MFer! GET LAID, GET FUCKED, RIIIGHT??) Seriously though, he should be as inger for sure!

While he was up there, this crazy dude with a viking hat got Tiff to flash him for some beads!!!! HAHAHA!! I swear tou never know what she's gonna do next!! Don't be mad, Zack broski!! It's marty gras!!!!

But the best part of the night (Beside's Tiff's "Bead-bags!") was Zack after his song. He stopped the applause for a moment of silence for Katrina. Man, it was a great moment.

We came back to Zack & Tiff's afterwards to chill, because i caouldn't drive yet.... But I'm cool now! FUck yeah!!!!

RIP Katrinas ...we will never 4get!

Presidents Sway Weekend!

Yesterday was so cool... Me and Wayne & Dwayne just chilled by the pool, getting some sun and BBQing. Zack and Tiff stopped by for a bit, but by the time they showed up, we were all hammered. I passed out around 10 on Wayne & Dwayne's sofa....then craweld up to my place around 2. I'm surprised i'm able to function at work today!

Tonight I plan on an early night. One beer and then sweet dreams, mama!

Cheers!

President Busch!

What a lazy day off. I just dropped off Karen at LAX for her trip to Detroit, where the high is only going to be about 35 while she's there! Judging by the weight of her luggage, she's got enough clothes to live through the winter there, but she's only gone for a week.

Dwayne & Wayne were planning on BBQing today, but when I got up, it was raining. But as I dropped off Karen at LAX, the sun came out and the skies cleared. Gotta love LA, right?? So, the guys are firing up their grill and I'm going to pick up some Hot Dogs and Burger--and some cans of Busch Beer to celebrate the Holiday!

OH--I almost forgot! Yesterday Karen and I had brunch, where we both indulged in some Mimosas. That's seven days in a row of drinking!

Cheers!

Booze Line Is It Anyway?

Wow! What a weekend!

Tiff found this crazy improv show on Friday night. GAWD those guys are hilarious. It was at the Improv Olympics and it's more like the LAUGH Olympics! Tiff was as funny (if not funnier) than anyone on the stage--they used her title suggestion to make up a whole broadway show about Trader Joe's soup! GOLD MEDAL!

They do it every friday night...and the best part is, there's a bar right there in the place, so Tiff & I were able to knock some rum & cokes back before and after the show. Karen and Zack were the DD's, lucky them!

Later, we went back to Zack & Tiff's place and watched Zack's APOCOLYPTO Academy Screener, because Karen & I haven't seen it. Actually, I still haven't seen it because i totally fell asleep during the movie. Zack was SO mad! He kept waking me up, telling me how awesome it was! But all that READING! It was SO late! Call me when those Improv Olympic guys make a musical out of it!

Last night, Karen and I hung out at my place. She's going out of town tomorrow for five days for work :( so we needed some quality time together. No big deal--Dinner at our favorite sushi place (and some Sake course!) and then we checked out Music & Lyrics, so it was like a weekend of singing.

I got a headache from either the movie or the sake...but either way, I didn't have fun.

Now, it's time for an early dinner (Late brunch?) with Karen before she has to go home and pack for detroit.

Two and Half Beers

Last night was pretty low key. My neighbors Dwayne & Wayne came over and we ordered pizza & hot wings. We caught up with some Tivo (Two & Half Men = AWESOME!!) and Wayne brought over a CHEERS DVD, too, just to get us in the Drinking Mood, I guess. (Damn, Diane was hot, right???) Of course, we had to drink a couple of MGDs to get the full CHEERS effect! NORM!

Tonight, Karen and I are going out with Zack and Tiff. Tiff's got us tickets to some comedy show. Should be wild! Tiff's a comedy show all by herself! hahah!

Cheers, folks!

A Dozen (Stinking) Roses for Valentine's Day!

Last night wound up being a great time, despite a rocky start. I picked up Karen (first thought: DAMN, she's hot!) and drove to The Stinking Rose for a nice, quiet dinner. Our reservations were for 8:30, but we didn't actually get seated till 9:15. I was miffed, but she was totally cool about it. She stopped me from causing a scene by giving me my gift--a framed photo of the two of us from the day we met at Zack's famous Labor Day BBQ.

Once we sat down, we ordered some Merlot and our dinner. She had the salmon and I just HAD to order the "Silence of the Lamb Shank" because it actually came with a Chianti glaze & fava beans! HAHA!

At home, we both realized that spending Valentine's Day drenched in garlic wasn't the smartest idea--I still reek of it much to the dismay of my co-workers--but at least I know neither of us are Vampires! lol!

Valentine's Day (or Pouring my Heart Out. . .)

Happy Valentine's!

I slept my hangover from hell off yesterday, thankfully, and am back at work--though a bit tired. (Slept too much yesterday, so couldn't sleep last night.) Catching up at the office...didn't miss too much. Looking forward to seeing Karen tonight for Valentine's day. I think she was mad that I got so wasted the other night--but come on! You only turn 30 once, right?

Either way, she's over it--I already got a call thanking me for the flowers I sent. (Shut up, Zack....I'm NOT a pussy!!!!) She's psyched for dinner tonight--but it's a surprise! :)

(Hang)Over The Hill

Ohmygod.... Last night was out of control. I had a blast, but am definitely paying for it this morning. When I woke up, the clock said it was 66::000. Even though I was clearly still drunk, I realized that it probably wasn't sixty-six thousand o'clock, and left a voicemail for my boss calling out sick.

Ugh. Why the fuck can't i get an egg mcmuffin at 1PM? If I can figure out where my shoe is, I'm going to In N Out. They'll pray for me.

Or maybe i'll just go back to bed.

Lucky for me, I drank my fourth and fifth (I think) margaritas after midnight, so I'm going to take it easy tonight--so my quota's already filled.

I hate my friends.

Dirty Thirty

What was I thinking?? Friends took me to El Coyote tonight for some drinks that are strong enough to kill the bugs in the food. . .

Well, i'm not going to be drinking this much evry night, but just one wine a night.

One day down...like a billion to og!

Happy Birthday To Me!

So it's my 30th birthday. And I'm making a blog.

Over the weekend, my friends and I got to talking, and somehow we decided I should drink every night during my 30's.

Not being one to back down from a friendly wager, I've taken the challenge and will chronicle my progress here. My girlfriend thinks it's a dumb idea...but I kinda think it'll be romantic to curl up with her after dinner with a glass of merlot. . . Besides...a little wine every day is supposed to be good for you, right?

Oh well...ten years is a long time, folks, so I'd better get started! Going out tonight with some buds for a few birthday cocktails. . . Let's see how it goes. Bottoms Up!
