drunken dispatch

I just went to RNM for mini burgers and pink and white wines and a vodka-soda, and also before all that a beer at Noc Noc (yes Noc Noc, which I don’t think I’d been inside since 1992), all in celebration of Heidi Meredith’s birthday! We sang happy birthday TWICE. And we toasted hamburgers! And we made new friends! They were playing Spirited Away on the flatscreen behind Heidi’s head, which was sliightly distracting and also confusing, apparently the little black feet-people things were supposed to be the proletariat? Oh and also there was this amazing and arresting photo in the bathroom, a woman by the pool wearing a robe and matching patent leather stripper heels, with four very large dogs, ridgebacks?, all with their frontlegs stretched out before them, like they were bowing before her. Anyway, it doesn’t sound all that great, but it was a very intimate, fraught snapshot. Also I made Marco come in there and admire it, too, and he seemed very impressed.

Oh and don’t let me forget, Marco wanted me to tell you about the white dog we saw at the park last weekend, it was running and running around, it’s owner nowhere in sight, and Marco was all, hey Casper! And the dog, mid stride, turned to us and smiled. And then later on in the hike, we ran across the owners and they were all yelling, “Casper, Casper!” And…that’s it. That the end of the story. Marco totally guessed the dog’s name. Because the dog was white, like a ghost.

Ooh hey, look at that, the DVR R-ed four episodes of Rescue Me!

Edited the next morning to remove drunky typos and to add in a bit more sense, wow.
