How to Get the Day Started in 12 Easy Steps

The following takes place between the hours of 6:30PM and 11:30AM.

*boop boop. boop boop.*

Step 1: Be stood up for dinner because you didn't call to extra confirm. WTF?

Step 2: Sigh in relief because you didn't really want to go and plunk down to play Kingdom Hearts 2. Where the fuck is King Mickey?!

Step 3: Get call from Jennie SMASH! demanding your presence at local bar to hang with her and Angel (But Probably Not).

Step 4: Drink liberally, ignoring that you have not eaten all day. Well you've had cereal for breakfast.

Step 5: Keep drinking and accept any and all shots given even if these liquids are generally used to prevent rust. That was not SoCo, fucker!

Step 6: Let Angel (But Probably Not) drag you to various bars in the LES where friends have apparently given up on her arriving.

Step 7: Drink at each of these bars.

Step 8: Take cab back to Angel's (But Probably Not) place and assure the driver that he will not get robbed.

Step 9: Begrudgingly (not really) agree to sleep on Angel's (But Probably Not) bed while she crashes on the sofa. Sucker!

Step 10: Do that "Where the fuck am I?" wake up thing before your brain does the "flashback" thing. Why don't I have coffee?

Step 11: Realize at 8:30AM that you've left all your work shit at home and have to go back there to collect it.

Step 12: Get to work slightly late wearing the same clothes from the day before and participate in meetings while still inebriated. Worry that everyone knows.

Side Note:
PattyCakes introduced me to a new band called Delays. I listened to their songs on their MySpace profile for 10 seconds and immediately downloaded the singles they had there. Delays is now getting heavy rotation on iTunes. The lead singer has a voice like a girl and somehow it works.

The Delays are amazing! Nearer than Heaven was the first single on the debut and I forget where I heard it, but I immediately ordered the import. They have a second album, "You See Colours," that came out a month or so ago in the UK. It's hasn't been released here yet, but it's a must have. Glad you managed to find out about them!

I have the entire albumn on my work iTunes. I'll burn it for you.

and "sucker", as in "I'm such a" is exactly what I was think about 5 minutes after I settled in on the sofa. I get a little too magnanimous when I'm drunk. I think I also offered to read you a bedtime story.

Thanks people. I just BL/DLed some tracks this morning before work and am feeling their song Valentine. Click. Repeat.

Damn, I missed a bedtime story! Nostalgia.
