What's with Today, today?

Mysti has decided to call me out for not blogging crap since Friday. According to my records, she hasn't blogged crap since Thursday. And that, was about some gay cowboy movie. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Saturday I hiked for a few hours along the Sunset Ridge Trail in Altadena. Good leg workout, as it's a decent incline with plenty of switchbacks and lots of loose rock. I lost it twice. Felt good to get dirty again - without the awkward cuddling.

Saturday night a group of us headed to Vanguard. It was empty at 10pm. It was packed at 10:15. The girls spent the night bitching about the unfair female-to-male ratio. I spent the night getting my embarrassing white boy freak on. The DJ was insane. Hip hop, dance... even busted out Break My Stride by Matthew Wilder. Or was I just dreaming that? Reminded me of times in Tallahassee, spent at places like Clyde's, Metropolis, Brothers, Fat Tuesday, Echo... Some of those places don't even exist anymore. Not that I would remember where they were anyway.

I swore I wouldn't drink anything at Sunday's Super Bowl party. OK. One beer. Just to balance myself out. Maybe two. Oh, wait... the game sucks, the halftime show sucks, and the commercials suck. Yeah.. let's get drunk and head to Yankee Doodle's.

Monday, we sleep.

Finally got to the doctor today, to find out why I'm dying. Monkeypox? Malaria? Cooties? Nope. Just your run-of-the-mill Santa Ana-induced sinus infection. And, I got drugs out of the deal. Only fair, considering the $3 I had to pay to valet my car. AT THE HOSPITAL.

I love L.A.
