More late stuff

So yeah it's been a while, mostly because I just have gotten out of the habit/have had zero time to update this thing and you know sleep.
So I am actually having a hard time what happened to me since last time, before Saturday. So I'll start there. Saturday I went to Beit Knesset since I was invited over to lunch. It was a nice enough service, and there was a talk afterward mostly about Amelek, Nazis and all the usual stuff you associate with both of those, from a visiting professor from Israel. So I went to lunch with this dude, and another kid who's at Victoria University. It was very nice, he has two cute kids, a cool house, and a very nice wife. There was good discussion, and some okay food, but it was pretty minimalistic, so after lunch I went home and ate me some potato chips. Then I napped for two hours and when I awoke I had the apartment all to myself. So I read some comic books and stuff. Then Oren came back around seven and we chilled, and he heated some pasta for me. Then I downed a bottle of beer, and headed off to Megillah reading. I got there like ten minutes late and they were already at the fourth Perek. The dude was mad fast, we were done in like another fifteen minutes, then said Havdallah, and danced around a little. So then after that I headed out with some other of the people from Beit Knesset for some Purim partying, one of whom was from the Chicago studying here for a little bit, the kid from lunch and this other crazy dude. So we drove over to the Chicago kid's apartment for a small pregame, singing loudly on the way over, and holding tightly to the chair due to some interesting driving. After two glasses of whiskey and some talking we headed off. Dropped off the car, and went to this bar that the Jewish community had rented out for a portion of the evening. It's on Courtney, and they had amazing music. Some of the tunes from the evening included "My Generation", "Sweet Home Alabama", and my favorite "Fat Bottomed Girls". So once there was some more alcohol, including an amazing little drink called The Godfather which is as good as its name. So we sang, toasted, danced, and I met a bunch of cool people. So we left after that minus the crazy dude, and plus this visiting Swedish Jew, and headed over to J.J. Murphy's. We ran into Zach, Sarah, and Katey, and said hi. Then stumbled, I mean walked, over to J.J.'s to pick up the dude we lost. We waited around for him to finish up his drink, and started belting out Purim songs, to the questioning stares of those around us, (I also stole some of my friends' beers which was not smart). So we went out, and joined a game of Hackey Sac for some reason, but it was fun. I suck when I'm sober, and I can't say that alcohol really helped my game. But hey who cares, so we went out once more into the night and headed over to a dance club. I'm not a danceclub kinda guy, but it wasn't too bad, I stayed for a little while then headed home sometime after two but before three, and even chatted with some random girls on the way back.
Sunday I woke up far too early, and lay comatose in bed for a few hours, missed the second megilah reading, and went to the purim Barbecue. I had some hotdogs, spoke to people, socialized a little, then went to the internet cafe to try and download Chuck season 2. It was a monster of a file, so I gave up after a little, went home rested for a bit, then went out with Trez to the Botanical Gardens. It was a lot of fun we walked, saw ducks, took pictures, got a little lost on the way back. I met her two "new" roommates as we went back to her place to pick up ingredients, then headed back to my flat where she made delicious stir-fry that Oren and I partook in and watched some Firefly (the last two episodes which she hadn't seen).
Then today has been pretty slow, but work's been exciting as I have been designing a cover for a book of poems that I think is going well. After work I shall meet with Oren for cookies, and from there hopefully just have a chill evening.
