Famous last words.....
So we're sat outside the pub, eating cottage pie and drinking beer. I seriously don't know what's wrong with me this weekend, I can't seem to stop eating crap food, it's ridiculous, I spend all week working out and eating right and then completely screw it up over a two day period.....aaargghhh!!
So we get a bit bored at the pub and Morpheus suggests we go and sit ouside "Midway" restaurant, this I guess is fine but I am feeling a bit scruffy, just got my combat pants on and a t-shirt, hardly any make-up on, but I am flush from the beer.
The place is fairly empty so we get a table outside. It's pretty over on Charles Street and there's always cute looking people walking by with their dogs. By this time I'd started drinking wine again but very very slowly this time. When I got back from the loo a decision by Morpheus and Candy had been made to go to "Slims" to celebrate our pal Jordan's birthday. I really didn't want to go but I was outnumbered.
It was only 9:30 so fortunately the place was empty. Professor is in Cold Spring tonight so it was just Angelo and then later on Youssef who isn't so sharp but extremely good looking. Hey talkings overrated.
Jordan finally comes in with his friends, who seemed nice enough. He'd never met Candy before and was totally smitten, although for some reason I don't think she felt the same way, maybe it was something to do with his custom made snake cowboy boots including the head which was appropriately place on top of each foot and when we tried to touch them he got a bit nervous, in case we broke them....freak. So we continued to knock back the booze, Jordan seemed to be on shots, eventually though Jordan wanted to go to "Gas Light" which I think is a club/bar but that's when I put my foot down. I was feeling much better by this time but not enough to go off clubbing somewhere. Of course Jordan didn't believe that we would follow him and he really wanted us to go, well maybe just Candy, but I couldn't face it and neither could the others. Anyhow right after they all left a few other people came in, one of them, this guy, italian I think, was just dreamy, god those eyes were to die for. Of course Morpheus caught me and Candy salivating over him, but he's good like that, he just laughs. He was dreamy though, in that naughty looking way. Then of course him and his friends left.
Now who else came by, oh yeah at one point I looked over and there was this woman dwarf, perched on the bar stool, oh god, not in Slims, this is my local, they can't left Dwarfs in. I wouldn't mind but it's as if she KNEW that dwarfs freak me out, because she asked me a question........
AAARRGGGHHHH.....no, leave me alone
"What's the address of this place"...she asks, in that squeaky, dwarfy voice, oh god I nearly died......
I did call Kiwi Boy and leave a message on his cell, because I just couldn't believe that a dwarf was frequenting "Slims". Professor should ban them all.....
She either left soon after or she was just stood on the floor, whatever, I couldn't see her.
Then Candy came back from the loo looking a bit shaken up. Apparently as she had tried to push her way back over to us through the crowds, she'd said excuse me to some guy who had replied that he couldn't move and then proceeded to stand stead fast to his spot. She attempted to shift him again, but by that time he got stroppy and called her a fucking bitch, or something to that affect. Cheeky bastard, who does he think he is? Of course I hate that, men getting bullyish and arsey with women just pisses me off, so I went to have a word with him but Morpheus stopped me.
Actually Johnny Rotten who was also working behind the bar did ask Candy if she wanted him thrown out but she said that it was fine. I did make my excuses that I needed the loo and went to have words, he apologised profusely, so I said that I guess that would have to do...what a dick...
By this time I was gone again and I think it took Candy and Morpheus a lot of concentration plus strength to get me home. I do remember at one point just stopping and going to sit down at a step, just incapable of walking any further. After being hauled upright we continued the next two blocks down the street. It's not far from Slims to the apartment, but when you've had a few it feels like eternity.
Once home myself and Candy watched some stupid movie and then we all started to feel dreadful. This is ALWAYS a bad sign, getting a hangover BEFORE going to bed. This is what happens when you start drinking at 5:30 in the bloody evening.
TODAY
You know what we woke up BEFORE 10 today, unbelievable, it's that stupid phone going and also someone rang Morpheus's cell phone at like 9 this morning....bastards, whoever they are.
We got up, washed (couldn't face a shower yet) and then headed over to Petite Albeille for some al fresco breakfast. It's a beautiful day and I just wanted to drink my coffee and watch the world walk by.
I was thinking though that maybe it would be better if Mandy interviewed me at a better time in the week other than Tuesday at 10. Well come on, think about it? If it's tuesday morning at 10, I'll be all nervous and won't feel comfortable blabbing about my married life.
Now...if I've had a couple of glasses of wine then I'll be all loosened up, which makes for a much more interesting me and hopefully Mandy will feel the same way as she listens to me rabbiting on.
So I called her and left a message, hope that's ok....
So today is "Open House" day where we can check out what is on the market, to decide whether or not we want to move in the beginning of October or not.
Morpheus seems quite enthusiastic, this is good...
After hours of trekking around the Village, we called it a day, well only after me and Candy saw a great place over on Jane Street, but it's for immediate occupancy.
Candy left this afternoon, I made blueberry/raspberry crumble, Morpheus played "Spiderman" on Play Station then we got out "Black Hawk Down", ate bad, but glorious food AGAIN (well I'm on a role, back on track tomorrow though) then went to bed and watched "Independence Day"...what a great weekend, thoroughly exhausting but really great....
