Friends

I really like my friends. They are great in fact. The past few days have been friend packed, as I wish they all were.

My friend Jeffy "Peeps" Peoples made the trip all the way from Houston, TX Thursday and after we went to Hipotle for lunch, he got to meet a rowdy crowd of my friends that evening who gathered at Bender's for some fantastic karaoke. I never knew "Total Eclipse of the Heart" could be so well-received by a crew of punk-rock kids.

Friday meant driving Peeps around D-Town so he could get lots of photos for a project he was working on for his job. As you can see from the photos, I could be in some kind of D-Town tourism brochure.

Later Friday night, we headed to the mountains to hang at the condo before skiing at Breck on Saturday. The ski day was beautiful, though very very busy, with long lift lines. But I had pink pants on, so I made the most of it.
Saturday night it was back to D-Town for Liz's 30th B-day party, dancing at Lilla's European Cafe to Adam's band, and then late night food at the Satire. However there was one unfortuante incident during the night, Senor's head falling off. Luckily, Laura was able to superglue him back together on Sunday.
All in all, it was a great weekend, with other fun events Sunday, but I have no pix from them, so use your imaginations, please.

Damien Rice

The new Damien Rice album, 9, comes out today, but I had a preview thanks to Bridget.

The track I like best is a B sides not on the album

"The Rat within the Grain"

Lyrics link above. The first few verses:

"This would not have happened if I hadn't missed my plane
I would've been there when they told you I'm the rat within the grain
Within this big misunderstanding out and being misunderstood
I'm thinkin' someone's trying to fuck with me and set fire to my wood

Well I wouldn't want you to want to be wanted by me
I wouldn't want you to worry you'd be drowned within my sea
I only wanted to be wonderful, and wonderful is true
In truth, I only really wanted to be wanted by you"

Check it out if you can. Sorry I don't have a link to the song here. I'll see if I can remedy that.

Ski Season

Ski season is officially open for business!

I took off work on Friday to go ski it up with my friends Annie and Randy--Friday marked my second ski day of the season, (Saturday Nov. 4th was the first day with Kate, but the lines were soooo long we only did 2 runs) and then this past Saturday marked my third day.

Most of you know I am not that great of a skiier, but I am trying to have a better PMA about it this season, and am determined to do better. So far, so good.

Here are a few pix from the ski adventure and having drinks later Friday night with Stacy and Johnnnnnn. And yes I have a white furry hat AND a white furry/plastic ski vest. hahahah.

AWESOME

Some things are just awesome.

For example, this photo of me getting ready to hit it out, circa 1987.

hahahhahahahhahhaha.

AWESOME!

Recent Highlights, ala Breakfast at Tiffany's and harp players

Some great highlights of the last few days (sorry, no pix...I wasn't on top of that):

Thursday night: The Mountain Girl Hottie Squad (Stacy, Me, and Kate + 1.5 dudes, one random, one almost random) were the trivia champions at the Squire lounge! Oh yes, we won, we did not cheat, we had 2 bionic beavers, and we were rewarded with a $50 bar tab for next time! And we ate at the Satire at 1 a.m. Oh and also we broke our past record in Erotic Photo Hunt. BRING IT.

Friday: Went up to the mountains and broke in the new condo for the season with some serious Diablo spaghetti sauce.

Saturday: Skiied it up for 2 runs @ Keystone. First skiing of the season. Entirely too long lift lines though. Then later that night watched Breakfast at Tiffany's--how I have never seen this is beyond me--but it is a FABULOUS movie. My favorite quote from Audrey Hepburn (Holly Golightly): "I'll pay for my own whiskey! Don't you forget it!"

hahahhaha. Damn Straight.

Sunday: I watched a great indie movie, The Puffy Chair. Check it out, it is very entertaining.

I also went to see Joanna Newsom play last nite at the Bluebird. It was beautiful and fantastic, as she plays the harp, and her band included an accordion player and a tambura player. She has a new album coming out next week, and I highly recommend picking it up. Plus it has a song called the Monkey and the Bear.

OK all for now!

Biggest Zucchini EVER

Last night after work, I decided to make zucchini bread because we had this HUGE zucchini in our fridge. As I was making it, I was talking to my good friend Tiffanie on the phone, (she's in Iowa). I was trying to describe how big the zucchini was, but I wasn't doing it justice, so I took a few pictures.


As you can see, I could play that Zucchini like the trumpet it was. Turns out I needed about 2 cups of shredded zucchini for the zucchini bread, and that shaved off about 1/5 of the monster. So there is still a large zucchini in my fridge, waiting to figure out how it should be consumed.

As I was multitasking while making the tasty bread, I mistakenly added twice the necessary amount of salt and baking powder, so I decided to add in a secret ingredient, which my counterpart in Iowa very much supported.

Turns out the secret ingredient, as well as lots and lots and lots and lots of chocolate chips, almost totally balanced out the salt. This was tasted-tested by Stacy and Kate, who had some at the Squire Lounge later last evening.

Remember, don't doubt until you try it!!!!

And Whiskey is the secret ingredient to everything good.
