The weekend was interesting. Thursday I ran around like a madman trying to arrange a surprise rondevous between Idchild<\/a> and Gabsosteel<\/a>. This involved many tag-phone calls, and some frantic last-minute cab-taking. Overall though, the results<\/a> were worthwhile.<\/p>\n Richelle’s coments on the bar scene above mirror my own – no need to rewrite. I will say however, that whatever fleeting love I had for Irish bars of Woodlawn was laid to rest Thursday night. The ashes were scattered down McLean ave on the way back.<\/p>\n Friday brought a migreaney chellez<\/a>, so I had to bum a ride off my bro to my folks 4th thing. I was told in the invite email not to invite anyone, and that my mother wanted a nice quiet family gettogether. Apparently that means she gets to invite her coworkers, and that means that my bro and i have to run around like drug-test monkees because my dad is laid up, and everything needs to be “just so”.<\/p>\n This would normally be a light annoyance, but it was exacerbated by the fact that I had a migraine land between 11 and noon on the day in question. Hot weather, grumpy gimpy dad, and migraine me = rough time. At least my mom’s coworkers’ kids were cute.<\/p>\n It was a good time – my bro and I make a pretty good barbecue team, even if his methods differ slightly from mine. I didn’t step on his toes about how he wanted to bbq, but i did juice up the sauce a lil when he left the kitchen before we got to grillin.<\/p>\n Richelle finally got over her headache, and showed up as we were having dessert. She had previously expressed a desire to go _do_ something, since her 4th sucked majorly last year. I tried to find some sort of idea – but ended up succumbing to sleep after lying down trying to cool off and get my BP down.<\/p>\n I woke up at around 12:30, which sucked, because I realized we had missed everything we could have done.<\/p>\n The 5th came – time for wangch61<\/a>‘s party. My migraine, instead of fading into a dull ache, as it should have been doing by day 2, actually seemed worse. I had to do some shopping for the party at Costco – so Richelle and I ran out, got the goods, then made it back. I barely got everything packed away before my bro was supposed to be there, but it turned out he was running late, so it didn’t end up mattering.<\/p>\n The party was a good time, despite my inability to move too much from the bar, or play pool – due mostly to a complete lack of ability to focus on account of the light. <\/p>\n
