Lent is almost over for me. No drinking since the day after superbowl and still going strong. It's been pretty easy, actually. There is a light at the end of this tunnel and it is blurred by guinness and whiskey. March 13th is the day and you aren't gonna wanna know me the weekend following. The annual St. Pat's Party is coming. It is always the yearly highlight at the house where I live. Everyone here is invited although I think Gowt and CharlieLove are the only ones who can realistically attend. If you find yourself in or near the East Bay, drop on by. There will be a keg of Guinness and a keg of green beer (not the green piss you may be accustomed to in Pat's of years past. I get the goodstuff from the Tide House Brewery) and I only ask donations if you have the financial means. (Charles, hon, Gowt knows where the house is.)
So, the schedule is as follows:
March 13th- The official return to the land of the living at Buffalo's (The local brewery)
14th- The Party
15th- The parade and then pubbing in the city
16th- Whiskey tasting and corned beef and cabbage cooking at the house accompanied by a full day of Irish themed movies. (Can anyone tell me why "themed" comes up wrong in spellcheck? And yes, we will watch both Darby O'Gill and the Little People and The Quiet Man. No this won't be up for debate.)
17th- Afternoon drinks at my favorite irish pub until the frats get there and then finding a dive in which to drink bad beer and whiskey while cursing out the traditional "granting of Irish ethnicity to the undeserving".
To sum it up, busy weekend that I might not be able to remember a lot of.
The new year's resolution updates are good. I (as stated in the last blog) finished the book and am currently deciding the next venture. I've been walking also. And, in two weeks, I'm going to 6 concerts. Let's see. Starting with Unified School District, then the Chieftains, tonight was Built To Spill, Wed. is Quasi, Next weekend is She and Him (M. Ward and that actress chick. Brought it up in the last blog), and the following Wed. is the symphony w/ the old man. In the near future, Vampire Weekend on Easter (oh the irony) (and the abundant and possibly incorrect, use of parentheses)(it's a habit) and another night at the symphony. Highly considering Tapes'n'Tapes and quite possibly Elvis Costello. Shit, I'm gonna be busy this month.
Besides that, everything seems good in hermitville. Taking it easy, not watching where I am going, not looking at where I've been. Just coasting along with the expectations of something fun and unhealthy.
Right now, it's 2am and I don't have to work tomorrow. I'm sitting on my porch, enjoying an Arturo Fuente cigar and listening to Ben Webster's "Soulville". Something I'd really like to get back to so, I'm signing out. Hope everyone is doing well.
Anyone need an invite to the party? They're always good fun thanks to photoshop. Send me your address and I'll send you one. This year's is gonna be pretty fun.
Yes I am aware that I use the word gonna. I'm also aware that I used it next to the word hafta earlier. Sorry. It's how I tawk.
