my desk calendar says today is holocaust rememberance day. should i have sent out cards or planned a party?

look at that, i forgot to tell you all about last week at one of my boss’s going away parties where me and my coworker brought the house down (puns!) with our enthusiastic and none-too-clear-headed rendition of ‘jump around’. later i sang ‘livin’ on a prayer’ with a few girls and stood on a chair for part of it. umm, i think i like karaoke more than i should. probably stems from the same part of me that can’t get enough guitar hero, that being the part that is furious at itself for never pursuiing a career in ROCKING OUT.

saturday jess and i advanced through two rounds of a 64 team (i know, it’s crazy) beer-pong tournament at shaun’s big ‘shawapalooza’ concert/barbeque thing. my love for her was renewed several times over in the first round when she sunk five out of the six cups in probably less than 10 throws. i picked up some slack in round two but round three we were totally robbed by some ringer they brought in, which was unsportsmanlike and uncouth to the highest degree. you’ll find no such injustices at MY beer pong tournament, that i can assure you (cough*may13th*cough). plus it’ll probably be an invitational so there should only be maybe 16 teams instead of a vast army of frat-guys whose skills are unfairly developed in the art of all things drinking game. as i said, WE WERE ROBBED.

also: high school friends in the house! good old roomie pat was in town for a wedding and we treated him to some nicely overcast and non-summery beach volleyball and zankou chicken. then i distracted him with a movie to keep him from telling embarrassing stories about my past to my current lady friend in a deft maneuver i call “watching batman begins because it is awesome”.

such a full weekend i forgot to make my routine sunday call home, pretty much completely, until late last night. parents, if you’re reading this, i’m not dead, just kinda hungry. happy holocaust day too, sorry i forgot to send a fruit basket or anything.
