weekend update: the abridged version

...because i'm way too lazy to discuss it all, and i'm still a little bit drunk. so, here are the highlights of the past weekend, during which i subsisted largely on wheat thins, tostitos, kettle corn, too little sleep and way too much alcohol.

friday: i got on the wrong bus to DC. i learned: if you cry, they will give you a free ticket anyway. a good thing to know, i think. took a friend out drinking and left him, upended, under a tree in dupont circle at 3 am. apparently, a friendly flamer got him home safely around 4. ask him no questions, he'll tell you no lies.

saturday: got to hang out with g-nuts, if ever so briefly. saw the inside of a shopping mall for the first time in many months. it was trippy. finally saw nate's pimped out apartment, drank white russians made with egg nog instead of cream (fantastic, in case you were wondering), and scoped out another bar in adams morgan. helped to get my host drunker than i previously thought possible, doing quite a number on myself in the meantime. my one clear memory from the end of the night was a complete inability to walk a straight line and the strong feeling that the ground kept tipping to the left every time i tried to take a step. i maintain that i wasn't drunk, just having a minor stroke.

sunday: managed to get my shit together in time to get a late morning bus to philly, where maggie and i met up with our favorite Monkey, who is home from oxford for christmas. she fed us orgasmic food and made us feel warm and fuzzy in her unbelievably cozy christmased-out house. we were sad to leave but knew that we had to, and bid her a tearful farewell as we boarded what appeared to be a second-hand circus bus. seriously, it was at once the most bizarre and awesome vehicle i've ever been on.

now: am still recovering. and feverishly trying to plan my next trip down.
