My birthday on the 30th was awesome. Had Brandon for the whole day - all to myself. Went to Ikea for a "few" things - bought a fuckload more than what we went there for. It was good!
New Years Eve was spent here at home with the fabulousness of
st_theodora,
sulla and
djtotentanz. We ate lots, drank even more and had a great New Years with good friends. Honestly, I couldn't have asked for better company! Neither could Jerry Lee, Da Nut or Grendel - all of whom milked the guests for attention.
st_theodora and
sulla crashed here, because no one should PATCO whilst intoxicated. We all woke up somewhere around 11a-12p and got breakfast at one of my favorite breakfast places, Perkins. We got there around 1:15 - turns out they were closing at 2p. Well, both
sulla and I ordered the potato pancakes and they were bloody HUGE! I looked at the waiter and saidn "you have GOT to be kidding." The waiter explained that since they were closing early, they had to get rid of the batter. I think Geoff and I did the taters justice!
Dropped them off at PATCO and said our goodbyes. Then, off to test drive a new big ass truck for me. We had passed a Nissan dealership on the way to the PATCO station - so I figured, why not now? I test drove the Nissan Pathfinder Armada. Seats 8 comfortably, has a bunch of gadgets like a rear warning sensor - if you get too close to something while backing up... all the bells and whistles. I loved it - had power, good pickup and handled really well. So if my Q1 ends up being OK, I think I might be buying me one of them. For those readers who don't understand why I'm getting a big ass SUV, it's because if I get an over 6000 lb. truck, I can write off 100% in 2004. It's a good ass deal - courtesey of George W. If I could get the whole write off for any car - I'd get a basic SUV...
Last night - we went to Shock Therapy which was kinda fun. Not really what I expected, but fun nonetheless.
Today - I am sick and therefore, will not be attending Drac's Ball, much to my chagrin. I really want to go - but I don't think I can peel my snot-nosed self off the couch. And Brandon's illing pretty badly too. Sorry guys!
