Hamburgers
Feb. 7th, 2016 05:59 pmWent out to India Palace for Jacques birthday. After that everyone gathered at his place. Paul and Katie were there with Wynn and Brad was there too (other than the less uncommon folks: me and Mary Beth and Josh and the other Paul and Jesse and Vanessa). A lot of just hanging out and being goofy. Jesse's present to Jacques was this bad folk art painting of Gene Simmons eating a hamburger. It was pretty sweet. I suggested to Jacques today that his next acquisition needs to be one of Paul Stanley eating a hotdog. We played a few card games: Monikers (which is like taboo meets charades) and Never Have I Ever. The former was fun. My team was called Fart. The other was fun though I got very few cards. It did prompt some awesome stories from people. That was the best part.
Today The Family Ghost practiced for the show. Went over our three songs a few times. Okay, pretty standard stuff. Afterwards we went to Tops. I decided I would try the barbecue sandwich. Yeah, nothing spectacular. But I had to see, it had been so long. Well after eating I went ahead and got a hamburger to go. Yeah, whatever no shame. I had to return to my true love. Couple things I neglected to mention in my last post. There was a surprise announcement at the Bernie event: we're getting a campaign office here in town! I think we technically have it, it's on Poplar not too far from here. I haven't been by yet, but that's pretty awesome. Also, little story from earlier in the week. Mary Beth had texted me with a picture of Horace and she was making some commentary on the picture, we always refer to the cats as being in deep slumber as being "dead." Well, the preview pops up on my phone and the picture isn't with it, it just says "Image Horace died ..." and some other stuff and I just see the "Horace died" and for that split second I kinda freaked out a little bit. Of course, I instantly did a double take and the context didn't make any sense. And I could see the something about being "funny" a few words down the line. Anyway, clicked on it and just normal making fun of Horace stuff. But I think my heart rate jumped up for a second there. Whew.
