The Countdown Has Begun

I've got so many things to look forward to in the immediate future that I can barely focus on typing this post. Maybe a little Focusyn would help.

For starters, there's the bloggers booze fest gathering this afternoon evening to look forward to. Aside from my own group of friends who I have been getting trashed with I have enjoyed the company of for many many years, my fellow bloggers drink like its their jobs.

Today also marks the opening of the Transformers movie! I have been salivating over this movie for as long as it was rumored to be in the works and my anticipation hit a new level when it was finally announced that production had begun. I have to be honest, I have a feeling that Michael Bay will rely on human characters that are so cliche and stereotypical that I'll route for their horrible deaths. But so what? I'm going to this movie for the Autobots and Decepticons.

Tomorrow is Independence day, which I'm fairly certain has something to do with freeballing it all day. With or without underpants, I'll be joining some friends and loved ones for a good old fashioned BBQ and hopefully illegal fireworks display.

Last but not least, as of 5:00 this afternoon, I've got a 5 day weekend to enjoy! My dreams of the workday/weekend reversal will come true if only for a week.

So I hope everyone else is as excited about the next few days as I am. I'll probably be too drunk busy to blog much over the next few days but you never know so check back.

Weekend To Do List

On Saturday afternoon, I told Seth I didn't want to get completely trashed that night because I had a long to do list for Sunday and knew I wouldn't do any of it if I was too hungover. Well, apparently Seth didn't get the hidden message in that request, that he was supposed to keep me from getting trashed, and I proceeded to get good and drunk. To be fair, that was really an unavoidable outcome as we were at Jenni B.'s going away party thrown by her sister. The party was held at Jenni B.'s sister's and partner's house in Park Slope just a few blocks down the road from my apartment. That meant, I wouldn't have to deal with a taxi or subway when it was time to stumble home, which only added to the drinking with abandon. Another factor was that the party was catered with multiple bars set up both indoors and out.

Of course, I was too hungover to accomplish anything on my list yesterday but it was worth it considering how much fun we had Saturday night. One thing I did accomplish yesterday was discovering a new favorite TV show called Ninja Warrior on G4. This Japanese game/survival show takes 100 men and 100 women and puts them through a grueling obstacle course with the ultimate goal of being named Ninja Warrior. Its sort if like MXE without the comedy and much more difficult.
