parties

Parties have a way of supplying me with a comical assortment of stuff. In addition to the cell phone AC power cord, I have also found one of Jorge’s oldest t-shirts, a blue Nike t-shirt, about $40 in cash, a bottle of Visine, an unopened (thankfully!) bottle of tequila, some 200 empty Budweiser bottles, 20 empty Bud Light bottles, one empty Jim Beam bottle, one full Jim Beam bottle, a full bottle of Canada Dry, two missing packages of Chips Ahoy, and the knowledge that I have the best friends in the world. Even if they do sometimes leave a bagel on a bookshelf or mixed drinks on the dresser. I’m just wondering when I’m going to get around to taking down the badminton net …

There once was a girl named Pornstar
Who partied at the AoS
She complained that I never blogged her
So here’s a poem for Jess!

Happy now?!?!

Incredible! I had plenty to say on the OceanBlog today. I almost went the whole day without saying anything here. I can hardly believe it. There is so much to say about me! No. Really. I think I’ll wait about ten minutes and then tell you the story of how my best friend and I once raped and pillaged the roof of a Kentucky Fried Chicken while temporarily insane. That’s a good story … unless, of course, you had to work at KFC the next day.

Ron’s dad, Ron, has a new toy: a bar fridge. Very cool. We got here and he had it stocked with about seven cases of good beer. We played a few games of billiards (so gauche to call it “pool”). Time for a swim. Miss me.

I *finally* scanned some more pictures of the Apartment of Sin. I don’t feel like writing stories about them all, though. They can be found here. Make sure you read the letter from the management.

I also found some pictures from St. Patrick’s Day 2000. Keeping the /images directory organized has been a pet peeve of mine since I first started making web sites, but I think I’m actually doing a good job of keeping the directory at davidgagne.net in order. For those of you just dying for pictures, I am working on The Photo Page, which will be a guide to the wonderful universe that is my images directory.

note to self: It is never ever never under any circumstances no matter what a good idea to drink keg beer. We did have a blast at Mike’s party last night. Keff and Matt left before Sylvia, Ryan, Brown, Kim, and I got there, though.

Yesterday was faboo. The only thing about it that was no fun was that eventually it ended. I was up at 0830, goofed on the computer for a while, went shopping with Sylvia, played on the computer some more, went to the AoS, played in the pool for a few hours, and *then* we started to really have fun. Chris and I walked to Todd’s place to steal his grill, then drove here to get Sylvia. We got to the AoS just as the keg was arriving. There was corn on the cob, mashed potatoes, steaks, chicken … I spent most of the early party inside watching one of the best baseball games I’ve ever seen and devouring about 3 pounds of cow, but everyone else was at the pool (which is right next to Chris’ place). After the Red Sox beat the Yankees Chris and I did some laundry-jumping to celebrate (leaping from the roof of the laundry building into the pool), tossed Chuck and Andy into the pool several times, and pretty much partied like we had nothing to do the next day well into the 4 o’clock hour.
Footnotes:
- there was no Coke in the machine at the pool so Sylvia had to settle for white russians instead of colorado bulldogs
- Andy was not wearing ‘being tossed into the pool’ clothes
- Paul and Bart are good people to have your back if there’s trouble possibly brewing (nothing happened)
- Chris makes a mean steak and chicken marinade
- Craig, Todd, Chuck, and Chris are huge Family Feud fans
- four years of medical school do not do much for your tolerance
- it was great to know that Jenny, mom, Uncle Dic, Jorge, and Mike were all watching the game
- Bart knows as many “walks into a bar” jokes as I do
- I have great friends, both in meatspace and cyberspace

I just returned from the Apartment of Sin … the Avalanche lost to the Stars. I’m sure Billy and Jess are thrilled. Heather was there, which was cool; even though (surprise) Andy doinked on us.
There are three new empty slots on the MetaCamPage so let me know if there’s a cam out there you’re dying to spy. There’s also 2094 bonus Dave Points to anyone who has an idea on how to make the page load faster. I’ve thought about several different ways to reformat the thing, but I don’t want to lose the Brady Bunch atmosphere …
