Mom Bangers and Bisexuals

More planning last night on the surprise party this weekend.

The theme of the surprise party is The Graduate -the invite is a replication of the UK version of the movie poster with my BF's picture in the place of Dustin Hoffman and his name replacing Benjamin's in the tag line. My friends, who have graciously agreed to serve as bartenders, wanted to plan out theme drinks for the party, centered around vodka, campari and some sort of whiskey/bourbon. We're doing:

Mrs. Robinson - Old fashioneds
Benjamins or "Mom Bangers" (love that double entrendre) - Vanilla vodka, oj, Galliano, splash of soda
The Sounds of Silence - Campari Cocktails

I am only partially ready for the party and its two days away. Ugh! At least I know that the Rock Stars, Vegas and other cast members will be sloshed before 9pm.

So now a few words on MySpace.

I have a profile there - for staying in touch with my musician friends and two friends from HS. I like getting the bulletin board notices from local bands telling me where they are gonna play. I occasionaly get a run of friend requests even though I am marked as being in a relationship - 99% of them I turn down. I can go weeks and not hear anything and then BOOM there are three or four friend requests in one hour. I have gotten some funny ones in the last two days...one guy who clearly looked like a 35 year old virgin (gamer, computer nerd, obviously lonely) and one really young guy who had the balls to post, as his profile picture, a shot of him in a carriage (perhaps in Central Park) with a grayed out form next to him. If you use your imagination - you can tell it was once a girl who had her head on his shoulders. So he photoshopped his old girlfriend out of the pic and use the pic anyway in an effort to meet new girls cuz that's how he rolls...

But I digress...

I have had a run in the last 24 hours of girls asking to be my friend. Not girls I know. These girls, and some are hot, are bi. I wouldn't think it was too weird except that I've been on MySpace for months now and this is the first run of local bisexual girls sending me requests. I have neither accepted or rejected...yet. I just think its funny.

So busy with this surprise party

No time to blog as I am so busy setting up a surprise party for the BF.

But the rest of the week in SF was pretty interesting. I have to hand it to Gal Pal, who, as Rock Star sistah states, has now graduated to Rock Star status. She hooked up with her new BF all over San Fran and missed out on the following due to being a prisoner in her hotel room of love:

• The best damn won ton soup I have ever had - Far East Cafe in ChinaTown on Grant. (Okay so maybe it was sooo good b/c I was sooo hung over. Whatever. I stand by the reco. And try the Dim Sum appetizer. Who knows what those meatwads were but they tasted deeeelish. The little private eating rooms in this place are really cool.)
• Hanging out with totally hung over US

Due to some strange illness/prolonged hangover/three day headache I missed the best Thai food ever. According to my friends. I had to be feeling really shitty to stay in whilst in SF.

I did meet up with my friend who got married in Vegas (where I met the hottie from Leeds...hello gorgeous!) who updated me on that whole group. Apparently a couple of pregnancies occurred after that weekend (the couples were married or engaged already so no biggie) and there's an impending wedding next month that everyone is heading to in Ireland. Fun! My friend was happy to hear about Ivy League and wants to meet him, and there were no hard feelings about me not going to London for that week in November.

So back to my new Rock Star Sistah, Must have been fun. Lots of time spent in the hotel room. Maybe starting that blog is appropos now???

Dude that is my favorite Jamorquai album

Am on the road traveling - was out in Colorado for the weekend (with the bf) and now in SF with Rock Star and Gal Pal and Ivy will be joining us tomorrow. I have some observations:

• Stoner parties are no fun at all if you are not stoned
• Stoners LOVE Jamorquai...(shit am I even spelling that right?) and they love to listen to it while stoned
• Jamorquai apparently had more than one album beyond the one with the crazy video that everyone knows them for - who knew?
• People in Colorado all drive exactly the speed limit b/c most of them smoke pot regularly
• No matter how far you go away from home, your neighborhood bailbondsmen will find you - proof is Jesse the bondbailsman from Sanford who sat next to us at a bar last night. We're out here in SF and manage to make friends with someone from just one county over back home. This is a good thing. I think everyone should probably have a bailbondsman as a friend
• The more I drink, the better I think I speak french
• This is contagious. The more Rock Star drinks, the more she peppers her words with "mon dieu" and "zut alors."
• Beware of cute women bartenders who offer to do shots with you - chambord gives you a nasty headache
• Beware of bald jewish Harry Goldenblatt lookin guys with pot to offer and crack-style lighters
• My mouth tasted like ass this morning
• I sound like a cross between Bea Arthur, Brenda Vaccaro and Kathleen Turner after a night of drinking and smoking

I have a mansion in hell now

I think after that last post, I have a mansion in hell on one of the best cul de sacs.

Rock star is going today to an early showing of the code, but her Vegas man does not want to play the game as he's actually interested in the movie. Tsk tsk. I am disappointed. A late afternoon showing is perfect for the game. They will probably make out, but that will be hormones and not any sort of mood setting from the film because what sex and sexual energy there was in the book (and I have to admit there was some) is completely stripped out of what made it to the big screen.

My other rock star friend was made a manager today here at work - bravo to you! This is great news.

It has been a slow week. All work, little play.
