I am too old for this
My cold didn't annoy me ALL DAY! I don't think drinking past sunrise, past seven a.m. in fact, is really the recommended treatment, though, not even with a multi-national crowd that put AFS meet-ups to shame.
It was a belated moving-in party for a co-worker, and at one point there were a dozen or so Scandinavians running about (one random Finn, a couple Swedish girls, some Danes I never really sorted out, and a passel of Norwegians), in addition to drinkers from Germany, France, Argentina, Tunisia, India, Wales, Ireland, England, New Zealand, and Switzerland. I think that was all... I don't think there were any other Americans. Absolute craziness.
The party didn't even start dwindling until seven when some of the Norwegians had to go to the airport (I heard later that it was a really miserable flight!)
Much fun: cool crowd, very pretty people, but WAAAYYY too much alcohol. When we were cleaning up this afternoon (much earlier in the day than I would have imagined possible, but the disturbingly energetic Norgewian turned into a whirlwind and we managed to haul our asses off couches and mattresses to help), I was impressed appalled with the sheer quantity of alcohol that had been consumed. Truly amazing disturbing.
We got the place in order really quickly though, then returned to recuperating with pizza and Family Guy. Surreal, actually, which seems to be my favorite adjective for just about everything in my life lately.
I think I would now like to return to bed and sleep until Tuesday!
