happy is what happens when all your dreams come true

Dude. My father was totally on Lou Dobbs' tonight. I mean, he was on as a talking head for about five seconds saying something about the comparatively high cost of the liability system in this country, but still... national television! International television! That was very cool.

As promised this is a post when I am in better spirits. My week in recap: Thursday night Jon S returned from Boston and he and I went out to Tisane for drinks. Tisane is possibly my favorite bar-like edifice in the area, with the Half Door coming in a close second. I can't stand most of the places around here, largely because the music is forever too fuckin' loud. Anyway, we had a good time catching up. Friday night I went out to Glastonbury for a New Year's party through the good graces of Jon's long-term friends Paul & Dave. A good time was had by all. My evening went something like this: alcohol, bad movies, alcohol, junk food, alcohol, Apples to Apples, alcohol, Trivial Pursuit (sometime during which midnight came and went unremarked), alcohol, up late talking, sleep. Jon and I woke up on fairly little sleep, bleary and hung over, and drove home. That night we hung out and I walked him through an Exalted character creation (fingers crossed), then watched a bit of FoodTV. That brings us up to Sunday, which was spent as I may have mentioned at syganzychick's apartment.
