Thank heavens this week is OVER. It has been so long and so tedious. I've been having massive computer problems all week--both at home and at work! I swear, technology hates me! And to top it all off, I'm pretty sure Karen got me sick. So, I cancelled dinner with her last night because I'm totally wiped out. If I can concetrate enough on work, I'm going to try and leave early.
Nothing but sweet dreams and (small) sweet drinks this weekend for me!
Cheers!

Hell (or my Computer) Froze Over
Yesterday was a tough day! Almost as soon as I got to work, my computer froze and was down all morning and most of the afternoon! It couldn't have picked a worst time, since I had seven meetings scheduled!
The tech guy says it is a virus--they're pretty sure that I opened something weird. I think it was an e mail that I thought Tiff sent me. cuz her computer went down last week. Thanks a LOT, tiff!! lol!
I left the office early yesterday because I couldn't get anything done...and met up with Mister Zack at the Cat & Fiddle. It's weird drinking outside on a weekday, but I can definitely get used to it!
We just had a couple of beers before Tiff joined us and started buying shots. (To make up for her shitty virus!) I was asleep by 10 last night. That's a good thing because I have to be at work early this morning to catch up on yesterday's bizz!
I guess I'm not allowed to open any more of Tiff's e-mails! lol!

All Temperature Beer!
Last night, I had nothing really going on, so Karen came by while I did laundry. A couple weeks ago, she got all mad about the cheap detergent I use because she says it makes my clothes smell like metal. I told her it's the old driers in my building, but she insisted on buying me a bottle of Cheer. She thinks they smell much better, but I don't really notice a difference. But hey, if she's going to be sniffing my clothes, I guess I should do what she says. LOL!
We watched our CBS shows while she folded the clothes. (Actually, i watched them, and she went on and on about how great my shirts smell now.) Even Dwayne stopped by to lend his support to Kar's cause. If I didn't know any better, I'd think they were trying to tell me something! LOL!

Monday Mourning
Back to work on another Monday. Last night, Karen and I wound up just watching TV at her place after she cooked. I had a glass of wine, but am kind of tired of drinking, believe it or not! LOL! I'd better pace myself--i got a LOT of time to go before I reach the end of this thing! hahhaha!
Plus, the end of the month is always my busiest time, getting all my paperwork filed is always a challenge--it's definitely the low point of my job! I'm gonna need some beer tonight, I can already feel it! Hmmm....Maybe i'll go easy on it NEXT week! hahah!

Straddle Ranch
This weekend has been amazing. Totally relaxing (and now fully recovered from Vegas!!) Friday was totally low key with Karen. Just went to dinner by her place and came back to my apt for some quality alone time. It was nice just to chill out.
Yesterday we lounged around by her pool and then Zack came up with the idea to do something TOTALLY cheesy: Saddle Ranch!
Hahha! it was actually really fun, believe it or not! After a couple of glasses of liquid courage, Zackattack braved the bull--for about 12 seconds! It was a riot! Then TIFF got up there! She started doing her cowboy routine, calling everybody "pardner" and then climbed up & held on for dear life--and did pretty good, but fell off after nearly a minute! I really thought she was goin all the way! They tried to get me and Karen to go up, but I know I'd look like an idiot up there! No, thanks! lol!
Today, we're just taking it easy. We were going to see a movie, but there's nothing out at all (and I'll be damned if I'm going to see the Last Mimzy, no matter how much Karen begs!) Although I wouldn't mind seeing the Ninja Turtle movie. The first ones were definitely fun!

Go BREW-ins!!!
Yesterday after work, I went over to Zack's place for a guy's night. Just some pizza and beer to watch UCLA kick the shit out of Pittsburgh! We're going all the way!!! YEEEAHH!
Tiff came by after the game to kick it with us. Man, she's having a tough time at work, but I can't help but laugh as she tells us the stories. She just KILLS me! Her impressions are dead on! Not that i've met her boss, but I can imagine!
She should totally quit do the stand-up comedy thing. She would KILL! There are so many open mic nights, she should totally just do it! I told her: It's just like kareoke, but with talking!
I should probably quit my job, too...Maybe I can be her agent! LOL!
Aww well, back to the grind!
Cheers!

Spring Lime for Hitler!
This week feels like it has been dragging on. I'm so exhausted, and I cannot wait to just chill OUT this weekend! Last night, I stopped by Dwayne & Wayne's place and relaxed with them for a bit & told them about Vegas. Wayne's in a cooking class and had these little lime chicken treats that he made. They were AWEsome! I brought over a bottle of white wine and some weird dip that Karen brought over last week. They had on the remake of The Producers. I can't believe that they actually made the original movie even funnier! Will Farrell is a genius. . .
But I was so tired that during the movie, I started to zonk out, so I just went home and crashed even before George Lopez was on! TGFT: Thank Goodness for Tivo! (I should put that on a t-shirt!)
Oh well, back to work!
Cheers!

It Ain't Easy Peein' Green
I'm still recovering from my weekend in Los Vegas (or as Zack calls it: Lost Wages!! lol!) I'm definitely still in a lot of pain! On Saturday night, we saw Dave Matthews perform...and man, did he go above and beyond expectations! He's still got it after all these years! Those songs totally remind me of being in college--all those new experiences. It just totally took me back to a great period in my life, you know? (It helps that I scored with Becky Seager to the Crash album! Every time I hear it, it's all i can think about! lol!)
Afterwards, we all went back to the Palms and found one of the bars had green beer, so we hung out there for a while before heading to Rain. Karen wasn't feeling so hot--i think the concert gave her a headache--so she went upstairs and we all went to the club.
Zack, Tiff and I partied hard at the club and went back to our room at like 4. I was trying to find a bottle of vodka we brought with us, and Karen was sleeping. LOL--then Tiff started making all these weird faces at Kar--gettin REAL close to her and being hilarious. I was trying to be quiet, but Karen woke up as we were all giggling. (Woops!!) She didn't know what was going on and pretty much went right back to sleep and we moved the party to Zack's room till dawn. By the time I got back, Karen was feeling better and went downstairs to gamble while i slept for a few hours till checkout.
It was a REALLY hard morning, but me and Zack tried our luck at craps...and that's exactly how i did! Zack was up about 200 before I even knew what was happening. I lost another 450 and stopped playing altogether. I wasn't thinking very clearly, and I wasn't having fun by then...so I just went with Karen to have lunch while Z&T continued their winning streak.
The flight home was looooooong...i think we were on the runway longer than we were in the air! I was So glad to be back home Sunday night, but I was definitely still drunk from the weekend, and woke up feeling really, really shitty on Monday. So after I woke up and yakked, i called outta work and slept most of the day.
I had about a half a beer monday night and i swear, i almost hurled again. I ate some toast and crashed out. What a waste of a day! Yesterday was a little bit better, but could barely finish my glass of wine at dinner last night. I'm definitely feeling better today, but, man, i was hurting.
Whatever. Dave Matthews is my GOD and it was totally worth it!

March Badness.
March Madness, Dave Matthews Band, Vegas. All coinciding with St. Patrick's Day. It's a PerfectStorm of booze.
As soon as we got into town on Friday night, the drinks started flowing. Tiff and Zack booked us into the Palms, so we went to our room, then right onto the casino floor. Karen won like forty bucks at the slots, and I lost a hundred on blackjack in about five minutes. Lucky for me, I had already started drinking and we didn't stop.
Tiff got it in her head to go see Thunder from Down Under--some australian stripper guys. She tried to get Karen to go with her, but karen wasn't even playing that game. lol!
The rest of Friday night was pretty much a blur. We took a cab to the strip and wound up at Coyote Ugly @ NYNY. It was fucking madness in there. Tiff had about two sips of her drink and wound up on the bar, dancing with the bartenders and pouring her drink into Zack's mouth. Before I knew it, her bra was hanging on this giant wall - of - bras! Tiff called it the Lace-y's Day Parade! LOL! Tiff tried to convince Kar to take off her bra--by pouring a drink down the front of her shirt! I swear!!! That girl! It's all pretty much a haze after that, except for Tiff harassing the little Mexican dudes handing out porn on the corners. I just remember her screaming "YOU WANNA SEE TITTIES" and then karen grabbed a cab and we went back to the Palms
On Saturday afternoon, we woke up a little groggy and after food, the girls hung out by the pool while Zack and I went and watched some March fucking Madness! Well...Zack watched. I just had my fucking heart ripped out. I lost $800 on the Vanderbilt Washington bullshit. Double OT--by four points. Broke my heart...and my wallet. But Zack won almost double that on his games, lucky fucker.
I was bummed, but I forgot it all as we got ready to go see Dave Fucking Matthews. I went up to the room and washed the stench of loss off me. Then Me and kar went to Zack & Tiff's room to get them...and Tiff was fucking around, jumping up and down on the bed. Of course, she's wasted and we're all a little lit and I'm cracking up--and she tumbles down off the bed while Zack's in the bathroom. HAHAHHAHAH....She said was fine because of her "airbags!!" I swear, she's such a maniac!!
We went to the show and Dave matthews fuckin ROCKED!! it was amazing.
FUCK! I just noticed what time it is. I gotta head out of the office soon, and I have an assload of shit to do (since i missed work yesterday. More on that later!) I promised Kar i'd meet her at the Promenade tonight for dinner in Santa MOn!
CHEERS!

TGIF - Tanked God It's Friday!
OK, I can't really keep a secret. Last night, while at dinner with Karen, I couldn't contain myself (must have been the Patrone!) and told her that I'm taking her to Vegas this weekend. She seems pretty excited, and although she's not a huge, huge fan of DMB, she knows enough of their songs to enjoy the show. I mean, he's such a great performer, I know she'll fall in love with him after tomorrow night!
Zack booked us rooms at The Palms and it is gonna be off the hook!
Now if I can just get through my day today, I'll be set for the weekend! I'm definitely overdid it this week. But what better way to celebrate St. Paddy's day, right???
Green beer all weekend!!!

Tripping Sillies
Oh man...Last night was rough. Kar made some pasta for us, and just as we were about to settle in and watch TV, Zack called. He somehow managed to convince me to meet him and Tiff at Amagi's for Karaoke to celebrate our trip to Vegas. Karen wanted nothing to do with it, but I went out for "just one drink," promising her a great time this weekend. (She still has no idea I'm taking her to Vegas!!)
Anyway, I met them there and they were already singing Summer Lovin'. Tiff was even doing a little dance up on the stage! I was ROFTL!
We had some rum & cokes and then Zack convinced me to go up and sing Tripping Billies with him to celebrate our Dave Matthews trip this weekend! We are SO pumped! And then Tiff got up on stage and started square dancing with me while Zack took lead. The crowd was loving it! hahhahah!
So this morning it was really hard to get up and out of bed. My head is STILL pounding. I called my boss and said my car wouldn't start...so I just showed up to work a little while ago, and I'm trying to catch up. I'm taking off early tomorrow to get ready for Vegas, Baby!!!
PS: I forgot to mention that I had a 40 with Dwayne the other night while he was over. LOL!

What Would You Say?
Yesterday I did a lot of thinking after Joe's whirlwind visit. Dwayne stopped by my place and noticed me being all mopey, and so he suggested I take a trip somewhere--maybe even surprise Karen with a romantic weekend somewhere in wine country.
While wine country isn't really my thang, I knew that Dwayne was right, so I did some research and hit the friggin JACKPOT: Dave Matthews Band is performing this weekend in Vegas! I fucking LOVE them and haven't seen them live in years. I called Zack instantly and he said he and Tiff are SO in. So...Karen's getting a surprise trip to Vegas this weekend with us to see DMB!!
I'm so PSYCHED! I'm off to book the flight now! Zack's in charge of the hotel. Watch out, Vegas!!! It's going to be CRAZY!

Cup of Joe
Yesterday afternoon, I got a call from my good friend Joe who lives on the East Coast. I've known him since college and let me tell you: This guy is crazy--he's always so last-minute and spontaneous. You just never know what he's gonna do next! If I didn't know better, I'd swear he was on something! hahha!
Anyway, he calls me at work yesterday to tell me he's in town just for just a few hours on his way to Hawaii! So me and Zack went out last night to a diner for dinner and coffee. When Zack told him about my little experiment here, Joe ran to the 711 next door and picked up some Bailey's for our coffee! LOL! Zack, keep your mouth shut, bro! Stop telling EVERYbody about the blog!
We were catching up on old times, like the time in school we ordered a dozen pizzas to our RA! Our whole floor ate for free that night because Joe went out and caused a scene so that EVERYONE knew there was pizza around, and shamed the RA into paying for it. LOL! Then there was the time he and our buddy Vito got in trouble for streaking in the quad! hahhahahah! Man, we did it all. It was so great to see him! I miss those carefree college days! Although Joe's really got the life. He travels whenever he wants, just breezes in and out of town. I remember he'd be gone from campus for days on end! I guess he's still the same old Joe! Haha--but then I got to thinking--with the amount I've been drinking lately, it's just like I'm back in school. Hope I don't blow my finals agan! LOL!

40 Winks
Last night, I was kind of wired for some reason (Probably because I slept all day long on Saturday! lol!) I was going to have a beer, but somebody drank all my MGD so I had to go pick up more.
While I was at the Ralph's, i noticed they had 40s!! So I just HAD to pick up a Miller High Life 40! I got a few for March Madness this week!
Even though I had 40 ounces of the High Life, i still couldn't get to sleep. I htink it was because of the time change. I'm wandering around the office like a zombie today. If one more person asks if I feel alright, I'm going to pistol-whip them! LOL!
I like being a thug wif my forty!

300 Bottles of Beer on the Wall
First of all, I owe the title to Miss Tiff. She's always so creative!
I spent most of yesterday napping until me and Kar went to see 300 with Zach & Tiff. Dude, that movie ROCKS! It looks SOOO amazing! We got tickets and hung out at the Good Luck bar until showtime, where Tiff made up that song to celebrate the movie. She had almost the whole bar singing! I swear, she's crazy!
I only had two beers but I think she drank about 300! LOL!
I bet today she's feeling like I did yesterday. At least I had one more hour than she does to feel better.
Happy Spring Forward! Although it was SOOOO hot today in LA--it's more like Summer Forward!
Cheers!

Schnappy Hour
Schnapps.
Why do people drink Schnapps?
Last night I met up with Zach & Tiff at the Cat & Fiddle while we waited for Karen to finish up her day. By the time I got there, they were pretty much wasted, but Tiff's a trooper as always and helped me catch up!
Of course, by the time Karkar showed up, all plans to go see 300 were gone--and so were we. Poor Karen had to take us all home and I was unconscious by midnight.
In fact, I am about to be unconscious again. But now tonight is movie night!

Pinot 911
Last night, Karen and I wanted to go eat, and The Cheesecake factory was PACKED, so we wandered around the Grove a bit, waiting for a table to open up. I got some pretty cool stuff at PacSun while Karen wandered a bit...but we were STARVED, so we just went and ate at The Farm instead. Not too bad, but the Factory rules all over there, so it was no comparison, really.
I had a glass of wine with dinner and then we met up with Zack & Tiff to see the Reno 911 movie. That shit was FUNNY!
Usually TV shows can't make the jump onto the big screen, but this one did it SO easily, i hope they make a sequel! Afterwards, Tiff was doing a KILLER Clementine impression! "Legalize it!!" LOL!!!
This weekend: you'd better brush up on your Borat, Tiff, cuz we're watching the DVD at our place! LOL!

Usually TV shows can't make the jump onto the big screen, but this one did it SO easily, i hope they make a sequel! Afterwards, Tiff was doing a KILLER Clementine impression! "Legalize it!!" LOL!!!

According to Gin
Karen came by last night for our regular TV Night. Dwayne & Wayne joined us with some leftover pizza and they watched GLopez and According to Jim last night, they only lasted one episode out of the two Jims, though, as they had plans to go out. Karen thought it'd be fun for us to join them, but the idea of being around a crowd of people with my awful sunburn made me cringe. Plus, I had to get to work early this morning for a conference call, so I took it easy last night, just having one gin & tonic. Oh well--maybe next week, guys!
I'm feeling much better today, that's for sure, even though I'm blistering a bit. I'm hoping to be better by the weekend so I can get back to LIVING!!!

Calowine Lotion
Last night, Dwayne came by to laugh at my bright red, now-peeling skin. As my skin was flaking off, he went and got some of his roommate's Calomine lotion. That stuff reminds me of being a kid at home. I remember one time I fell asleep by the pool when I was like 10 or 11 and I came into the house and half of me--from my face down to my toes--were totally burnt. My mom had some leftover calomine from when my little brother had the chicken pox and she put it on me. I think it stung like hell, but eventually helped.
So anyway, he brought over Wayne's bottle and I put it all over. My neck is the worst...I think my skin is actually crunchy!!! lol! Anyway, we went back to their place and I ordered a pizza to thank them for their kindness. They provided a bottle of wine and the entertainment: One solid hour America's Funniest Home Videos. (It was their choice, not mine!!!) I will admit, it was nice to see people in more pain than me! lol!
Today, I'm feeling a bit better even though there are bits of my skin all over my desk.

Burning Man
Jeeze, I think my sunburn is getting worse. Everything hurts. I could barely even sit in my car yesterday because the seats were so warm!
Karen tried to take care of me last night, but it wasn't really working. She made me an oatmeal bath, because she swore that it would make me feel better. It smelled really gross and I dind't really want to get in. So I had a beer and sat down in the oatmeal. It didn't really do anything other than get me sticky...then i had to take a shower afterwards, and the drops of water felt like bullets! OUCH!!! My mom used to use solarcane, but Karen says they haven't made that stuff in years.
Today, my clothes hurt. I'm looking forward to peeling already!

Venice-sun
After watching UCLA get crushed on Saturday (SO lame!) me, Karen, Zack & Tiff headed to Venice to chill with our bud Seth. Dude puts on the BEST parties! We lounged on the beach for a while then headed to his place for some BBQ and volleyball. (Zack & Tiff--you guys killed us worse than UCLA got killed! LO!L)
Anyway, Seth made the usual burgers and dogs, but also had some fresh venison. It was SOOO good. I haven't had it this good since the last time i was home in Iowa! I was so full by the time he brought it out, though, so I didn't have too much.
We also sucked down some Coronas and tried to watch the moon eclipse--but nothing seemed to happen to it. Then we got distracted by Tiff rapping about our day. LOL! I swear, that girl should be doing stand-up!
Sunday, I woke up bright red. I guess I spent a little too much time in the sun yesterday. I felt like shit, but me and Karen took a drive to Santa Barbara to see her family. We had a nice quiet dinner, with a glass of wine each and then trekked back down the coast as the sun was setting. I definitely don't want to be in this office today! I look like a lobster! I should have called out sick! I am never drinking in the sun again!

See ya later, ALE-agator!
Yesterday was Gary from accountings last day--lucky stiff! A few of us from the office went to Houston's to eat and reminisce. That guy was really fun to have around the office, and he will be sorely missed. We all had a couple of beers and it was pretty fun to just see everyone outside of the office, having a good time. Man, those accounting guys are crazy! You wouldn't believe what happens in their offices! Some of those stories! lol!
Afterwards, I was going to meet up with Zack and Tiff but it was pretty late and I've been exhausted all week--so I just sacked out at home. (Sorry guys! But we'll have a TON of fun tonight, RIGHT?!)

Wine-ese
What a long, grueling day at work yesterday. Lots of employees marching in and out of my office. How's a guy supposed to goof off? LOL! Just kidding. I love my job! But yesterday was a looooong day. The only thing that got me through it was my date with Karen!
I picked her up and took her to PF Changs for some delicious Chinese food. It's one of my favorite places in LA. The waitress recommended a great bottle of wine for us to share, but Karen kind of has a cold from her trip, so she didn't drink that much. I nearly finished the bottle up, but stopped when I realized I had to drive.
Kar & I wandered around the Beverly Center where I swear we saw David Spade at the Auntie Anne's pretzel place, but Karen thinks I'm crazy! I've been in LA for a few years now, but I still get a kick out of seeing stars acting just like us! And even though I love authentic Chinese Food, I knew I'd be hungry an hour later! So I grabbed a pretzel to help me to sober up before I took the wheel. LOL!
After dropping Karen off, I realized that pretzels and Kung Pao Chicken isn't the best combo, so I took some Rolaids's (that's how I spell RELIEVE!) and finally fell asleep watching Sports Center.
Boy am I tired today!
TGIF!!! Can't wait for the weekend! YEAH!

Miller Time!
Last night was kind of an early one for me. Karen called me yesterday afternoon and cancelled our dinner plans. I was kind of bummed...but she's still jet-lagged from Detroit. And we had such a late night with DANE COOK (I still can't believe we got to see him! And I still can't believe Zack didn't kill Tiff for yakking in his new car! LOL!! Tiff, I swear you're too much!)
Anyway, Karen just wanted to zone out in front of the tube at her place. So I called her during George Lopez (hilarious) and we watched a bit together, but she seemed like she was dozing off so I let her go. I had an MGD while I watched that and According to Jim. (That show is so clever! He's just as funny as his brother!) and then I kind of just fell asleep pretty early.
But I woke up feeling great--got a TON of sleep and thank goodness, too! It's review day for a lot of the employees here, so I've got a shitload of paperwork to deal with. I swear! My work is NEVEr done! Man, I could use another few beers right about now! You know??
Tonight, Karen and I are going to hang out, grab some food and get some much-needed "us-time." Can't wait to see her!!
