When I awoke this morning, I found a Doors album in my playlist & realized that last night I narrowly averted what would have been my first drinking & puking experience. (Yes, I drink fairly often. No, I've never thrown up.) Apparently, last night I thought "Riders on the Storm" would be a good song to puke to. I also couldn't find my glasses at first. They were on the floor outside the bathroom. After taking out my contacts, putting on some music, and warmly embracing my toilet, I remember thinking "Gosh, it's pretty uncool to yak with glasses on" so I chucked them to the side. Though I was quite drunk, everything was carefully planned. Which means I wasn't quite drunk enough. Thankfully. :)
After splitting a bottle of wine & some subsequent revelry-making down at the War Room Jake & I heard about a warehouse party. We entered through an unmarked sidedoor that was just a piece of plywood with hinges on it. Down a giant ramp we went--an Italian painting looms above us--down into this vast unfurnished expanse of a warehouse. It's a dungeon of sorts, really dark, lots of weirdos & goths & hipsters running around in costumes. A DJ is spinning by the light of a candle / laptop glow on one side. There's a hot girl in a gas mask who keeps bumping into everyone...I don't think she can see very well at all.
Atypically, I blaze through a six pack of Beck's I'm guarding carefully with my feet as I dig the music. At one point, a girl starts dancing up on me, so I dance back, and then she tells me I'm a good dancer. Only her voice is a little too low. "Wait--did you just dance with me because you thought I was a girl?" he asks me. "Yeah," I say to the guy in drag, "because of these things," as I grab his boobs of crumpled paper. He runs off--very offended it seems. I can't stop laughing about this little encounter.
Posted by Alan at October 30, 2005 12:27 AMWhy is puking with glasses on "uncool?" Is it because you are trying to impress your shallow toilet, who may be thinking that glasses are a sure sign of dorkdom? It's time to get a new toilet champ, don't take that shit, that's his job.
Oh, and paper boobs aren't near a fun as real boobs, are they?
