SO SWEET

We went to Nathan’s Birthday party today which was SO MUCH FUN… He’s 2 years old and the house was full of little kids of various ages. Patrick had Kevin and Britton make balloon animals for the kids which was a total hit and they were very good at it. Meanwhile I spent most of the time hiding behind Patrick’s super cool SLR Digital camera.. I’m so jealous.. And, to top it off Patrick was super sweet and added my name to the Cake for my birthday this week so I got to help Nathan blow out the candles…

Anyway.. Had to share.. Fun Day

Week of DOOM

uggg… I’ve been pretty out it for a while (thus the lack of posts)… This has been high on my list of shitty weeks.. Weekend was cool – saw Spiderman friday night with Scott, Jeremy, Clarke, and Alex (and some co-workers of Scotts) which was cool.. Movie was really good… Saturday was totally lazy as I recal aside from walking Matt and Brian’s dogs which was all cool… Sunday we spent the day with Alex, Scott, and Jeremy. Early in the day we went to brunch over in Glenn Park and then headed over to Alemeda for a big antiques flea market on the naval base.. was kinda cool but not many ‘finds’ – most of the stuff was either just old stuff or good stuff that the sellers knew was good stuff and priced to match… I didn’t buy anything… Sunday night (the 4th) we all went to Scott’s house to meet some other folks (Clark, Kevin’s friend Jason, and a sweet guy Tom that I hadn’t met) for a BBQ (or cookout as kevin insists is the ‘correct’ term)… We had a good time, drank too much, ate great food, and listened to the battle between the neighbor’s back yard band and scott’s stereo… Overall a nice forth..

except… bout 10pm I started feelin crappy and went home bout 11… what i thought was just too many cocktails turned into a flu that lasted about 3 days which was a drag… Downside was i was at home in bed incapable of doing much more than working the TiVo clicker (and spent my birthday on wed sick in bed)… Up side was i missed some obnoxious meetings at work and ‘Management training’…

Last night we did go see ‘Awe about Eve‘ with Alex, Peter, Scott, Scott and Joe, luke and some others… Play was an uncut rendeition of All about eve… Very silly and fun…

So I guess the week hasn’t been a total wreck… overall I guess pretty good.. but man bein sick for 3 days does wreck it…

Oh… And I was proud of myself for calling the South Bay Inifiniti dealers and bitching about some ad’s they’re running right now which are pretty obnoxious collections of cultural stereotypes… so there’s my political action for the week..

Anyway.. Happy Friday! 🙂

Reviews

Ok… So two reviews to give for the week:

Madonna: Frickin FIERCE… We had SO much fun at the show and the show it self was fantastic. Kevin, Peter, Alex, and Mikey drove down from the city after work and picked me up to go to the show down at the San Jose Sharks Pavilion (HP Pavilion). She opened with Vogue and played for 2 hours or so after that with everything from American Life to Express yourself to Music to you name it… The crowd was a trip – the biggest collection of gay men, middle aged girls flashin back to high school and everythign in between.. At any rate… show was good – fun was had by all! :):)

Stepford Wives: We went to see The Stepford Wives last night with Matt and Brian and Brian’s Dad, Patrick and Chuck, and Britton. I actually liked the movie however if you’re a fan of the original (which is GREAT) and don’t want them to mess with it skip the movie… Its good but its pretty silly and the change it in some important ways. But regardless it was fun – not gonna win any awards but still good.

Wow.. Those are two pretty damn gay outings.. huh? 🙂 Ah well.

Oh Yea…

And I got tickets from a friend to go see Madonna next tuesday (6/8).. KICK ASS

‘Nother crazy weekend

So after a totally lazy day off on friday the rest of the weekend was super fun though a little exhausting.. But I ain’t complainin

Friday night I went to my former co-worker Janelle’s going away – she’s moving to Beantown and a bunch of us from work joined in on the festivities.. The crowd was all the same suspects that we hung out with the previous friday sans Kevin (who had a hellish day and wanted to chill) and Sean (who was MIA with no explination)…. The party was super fun and mellow – just a lot of drinking of wine and hangin out on the porch talking (the neighbors were probably not amused)…

Saturday day was relatively mellow. Brunch and relaxing and some errands.. Then saturday night Kevin and I went over to Rick and Randy’s to hang out with them for the evening.. We hung out for a while talkin at their place and then headed over to Extreme Pizza for dinner. After that is where the stories began. After dinner we went over to an event called Frequency-8 that Rick recommended because of the collection of DJs spinning.. We got there ’round 10 or so and the music was phenominal…. but… um… the crowd was.. well.. um… interesting.. ;).. Turns out the party was an 18+ party that went from 7 till 2am (presumably because of bedtime issues)… The crowd was a total club kid raver crowd many of whom clearly had fake ideas toget into the 18+ party… Crazy… So we hung out for a little while to listen to the music and then decided that it just wasn’t workin for us (or at leaast not for me) to we bailed and headed over to Mighty… Crowd was more our speed (age wise and orientation wise) though the music wasn’t quite as good.. Damn those kids – I want their DJ!;)..

Sunday was a busy day. Spent the day hangin out with Stephen, Alex, and Craig. Stephen and I went over to BiRite and grabbed a picnic and then went over to Dolores Park to meet Alex and Craig (and Disco). Was SUCH a nice day.. Sun was out.. Great view of the city.. boys were out… only downside was the sunburn I got on my knees ( I put lotion on my upper body but not legs.. stupid)… After that Alex and I split and went over to Whole Foods to pick up dinner fixins and then over to Kevin’s office to bring him snacks (poor boy was workin all weekend)…

Sunday night was great too… Started by havin a whole crew over for dinner since Scott Yeats was back in town for dinner.. Alex whipped up a great meal and Scott W, Scott Y, Joy, Adam, Matt, Peter C, and Jim R came over to eat.. after that we all went over to Scott W’s new digs for a little pre party before going out dancing at Sanctuary… The crowd that went out dancing was great and the music was fantastic… Overall it was a fantastic night… And I heard my favorite new geekey phrase from a buddy of ours… Another friend of ours looked over and asked how everyone was doing and one of ’em looked back and said ‘Doin just fine but i’m pretty much droppin frames at this point’… Guess for yourself what he was talkin about! ;)…

And today – doing NOTHING… Watching Cold Case files and readin blogs.. woo hoo! 🙂

Happy Memorial Day! 🙂

My Play Day

So I’m spending my play day bein a complete slug… Not doing much of anything really and I love it… Slept in… Got coffee and a breakfast bagel from Jumpin Java… Watched a few episodes of The West Wing… Had lunch with Craig… Bought a Smiths album (they’re not on the iTunes music store damn it! ;))…

Now I’m sitting here watching Love! Valour! Compassion!. If you haven’t seen it go rent it.. SERIOUSLY.. Its a fantastic movie… One of the few that make me tear up every time I see it… Its a great movie about the realities of relationships and friendships.. Its about a group of gay men in the northeast but its really universal..

enough already.. back to my lazy day
