SPRING BREAK 2K5
Yea, I was going to make this big deal about it and post in Live Journal each critical moment as it happens, y’know use big sophisticated words and make sure to exploit your attention by sounding erudite, like I know more than I do. But then I got drunk, over and over again.
Yea, right there it hits the punch-line. It’s walking into a brick wall; ‘hey, I’m going to impress and play to kill at this party’ and BOOM you’re drunk, half naked and sprawling across two tables and some poor lady who couldn’t move out of the way fast enough.
You think I’m rambling? This is me trying to say sorry I couldn’t update so frequently, so here’s the rundown of Spring Break 2k5…
Not even 2 hours stepping off the bus into Windsor, actually tasting the palpable scents that hang in the air of Windsor (for those who have been I assure you it’s quite florid, in a quite not-nice way.) I was already drinking, oh was I drinking. But back to the bus, Esi and Tash and their housemates; Crystal and Shannon were waiting for me as I stepped down, was a great sight, I hadn’t seen half of them in over a year and Shannon was a new face to me. We drove back to The Swamp (the esteemed name given to the house they reside in) and threw my stuff aside and got to the drinking.
I’ll say this now; Absinthe rocks. We caramelized sugar over a half cup of the sweet green über juice and doubled that up with water. Even for me, able to take swigs of Tequila, I had to imbibe some other pop right after. God that was nasty tasting. It’s like a yummy ass-shot (see also. Hallowe’en 2k4; ask Me, Rob, Josh, or Esi available online here), with the same need for an immediate refund. It really messes you up, hallucinations…meeehhh you’d probably have to drink more to get a definite yes from me, but really wow…never has 3 shots kept me so thoroughly drunk all night before in my life.
Next morning was fun waking up, most others who stayed that night weren’t doing so well in the morning. We ended up just hanging around and relaxing, ate some meat buns/coconut buns (and Tash did her midterm *gulp*).
From there, for the rest of the week we had a haze of good times, from walking around downtown looking at chic modern shops for a couple things involving Wicca, I got to try out Tarot, which was cool, got to have my ass so thoroughly handed to me at SSX Tricky and Katamari Damacy (kick ASS game).
We ended up going to a 5-star French eatery on a whim, t-shirts and jeans and all were our classical outfits for today. Got to get all hoity toity as I exhausted my passionate familiarity of wine within 5 minutes…but it was great, decadent plating and killer good food. The chowder there had fennel and that crimson weed you use only in posh dishes, that expensive herb…wow I’m out of it :P The fish in it was rare too, I was impressed. Pacific fish of a few genus.
We did a run of looking at piercing/tattooing, bubble tea galore (Taro bubble tea is teh yum), and good home-produced mac and cheese Esi did up.
I got to see the sights in Windsor and taste the essence of their Cuban cigars *evil grin*. I went on a nice saunter and saw the statues in this park of theirs (Windsor’s), saw Detroit across the river and the bridge lit up at night in all its pro-industrial glory.
We had a great time making Jell-o shots and drinking Vex, making curry and eating everything from Chinese food to take out pizza and Thai food. The phat thai was good there but damn I’m craving that peanut enriched one that I grew to love.
All in all a good week, relaxing ensued just chilling out in front of the PS2, watching southpark in the basement, or walking around seeing the sites not noted above. Spring break was fun this year.
Yes it's 7:30 am, yes I'm crazy, lab in an hour...I'm clinging to my little Sanrio monkeh I was given as a christmas gift right now, Monkey-Chii will save me, yes he will. *strikes hero pose* Go forth and slaughter my monkeh minion!
