.....what the hell happened?
whisky happened.
yesterday was my 29th birthday. the truth is that it was a pretty shitty day. just general feelings of sadness that i can't seem to shake. i haven't been sleeping well for the past month, and i just feel exhausted all the time. woke up early for work, sat at work alonelylonelylone at the desk. we did see a few patients so that was good. the doctor whose office is across the hall from us is closing because there are not enough patients coming in. he employed four people. the front desk girl came over and brought us some fat tuesday pastries and said goodbye. left work early and ran home to relax before school. there is a new restaurant down the street called life on mars that i have been wanting to check out. i had previously gone there twice and it was closed. i left work early yesterday b/c i wanted to go there for dinner, but they were out of some of the stuff i wanted. and i didn't like the girl out the counter. so i left and went home and made pizza. then i had school until 945.
came home and was feeling exceptionally down, ready to just go to sleep and try again tomorrow. but carl got in touch when he was finished delivering at lou's and told me he was at the mutiny. i decided to salvage anything that might be salvagable and i pedaled on over. ed was at the door and said hello, asked about school, and bought me a beer. it was also the bar back/doorman's birthday, and another of carl's friend's birthdays. people were buying us all shots and drinks and before i knew, whisky happened again. i totally blacked out.
i have no idea what happened or how i got home. i ripped some poster off the wall at the bar and rolled it up into my back pocket. sometime during the night i got up out of my bed, walked over to the stand where my turntable is, lifted the lid, and peed on it. i don't remember doing that either, but there's definitely piss on it. luckily its all mechanical so it probably still works, and i was so wasted that my piss was pretty much straight water and alcohol so it didn't smell. i'm still letting it air out in the bathtub for a bit.
i was sooo hungover this morning. my stomach was absolutely empty and i didn't have any food prepared at home. i thought i was going to pass out i was so hungry and nauseaus. i decided that i would give life on mars one more try since its close by and i needed something nutritious to soak all this up. i got there at about 2pm and there was two people in front of me and two people behind me. i thought this was a good sign b/c i know they have a niche market and i'd like to see them succeed. i got a bbq rib style seitan sandwich, a matzo ball soup, and a side of mac and cheese. the soup was excellent and came with a huge kaiser roll. the mac and cheese was also good. a little heat behind it, too. the sandwich was huge and it was okay. the seitan was very compressed and a little dry, like maybe the sauce didn't have a chance to infiltrate all the way in. but the sauce was tasty, and a little heat too. the bread was made in house and really fluffy. i couldn't eat all of it and am saving the rest for dinner.
other than the lingering physical sickness from the alcohol, i feel alright today. maybe it was all the cutting loose last night. plus, there is some stuff i'm looking forward to:
i am going back to stl on fri. my parents were up here last week visiting and they took my car back to stl to have it maintained. i am going to go see copyrights in a basement on fri night then i will drive my car back to chi on saturday. i am looking forward to that.
also, shedd aquarium is free admission all week. i took the afternoon off work tomorrow and am going to go there before school. carl warned me about a gigantic spider in one the display cases, so i will be avoiding that. gross.
unrelated note: i have been to revolution brewery twice now. i went last monday with a new boy who was a total goofball. he was pretty awesome and silly but i am a fortress. i am so guarded and still kind of holding out for some one who i know deep down isn't coming back. but the place was packed like a weekend. i got an awesome grilled tofu sandwich with a sun-dried tomato spread and the cross of gold. my my there were some points in that draft.
i went back on friday night with my dad. it was balls to the wall. we rolled in at like 11pm after i impressed him with my parallel parking skills right out front. we were able to get a table b/c there were only two of us and also because we were going to order some food. again it was a positive experience.
since there is no video of dear landlord performing 'landlocked', i am enclosing the dopamine's performing 'worstest case scenerio' in a basement. i love this band. they are coming here in march. psyched on it! although i will probably start crying like a little cry baby if they play 'navigation point', which why wouldn't they play that song?
