• I’m kinda pissed right now because my hot water tank has stopped working. Sears is “supposed” to be out to fix it tomorrow. Then again, Sears was supposed to do a lot of things. Still this has left me to scramble to take a shower. Yesterday was at Keith and Heathers. Today will probably be at Mark’s. Hopefully after tomorrow I won’t have to worry about it anymore, but with Sears you never know. They are also “supposed” to call today to confirm the appointment. Well, its almost one in the pm and so far no phone call. My thinking is that if I don’t hear from them soon I will call them to confirm myself.

  Last night was Christie’s birthday party. John, Kris, Heather and I decided to car pool. Christie lives in Lincoln Park so I had a brilliant idea of eating at Giordano’s for dinner. The plan was to go to the one in Willowbrook. Heather and John both had the brilliant idea of calling ahead and seeing if we can place the order so the pizza could be cooking while we drove to the restaurant. This actually worked out like a charm, as the pizza arrived at the same time our drinks did. I guess I should explain that we were eating deep dish pizza which can take 45 minutes to cook. So, ordering ahead saves a lot of time, especially since we were pressed for time because we got a late start. On the other hand though, it meant we would spend less time at Giordano’s which was a little disappointing because Heather and Kris really enjoyed bouncing up and down on their very bouncy booths.

  Oh, I almost forgot. Before we left Heather’s, I had to pull my car out of the driveway so that Kris could pull her van where my car was. John and Kris were still in her van and Heather got into the back seat of my car, which truth be told, was a bit of a mess. As she sat back there she said “you could have at least cleaned your car” and I looked over at her sitting in the back seat and said “well, you could have at least closed my passenger door”. Yeah, she left it open. I didn’t have much room to complain though, as my door was open as well. So I drove down their driveway with both doors wide open.

  We got down to Christie’s right about 7 and much to my surprise, we had no problem finding a parking spot. In fact, we even managed to find one almost right in front of her building. This was a welcome change of pace as normally it takes a long time to find a spot. Also for the first time, we were the first ones there! Originally we had asked Christie and Jeff if they wanted to go with us to dinner but they were unable to. We had every intention of saving Christie a piece of pizza, even going as far as to get her a large. But, it was so damn good that we at the whole thing.

  I’ve got to go for now. Will update the rest of the post later.

  So anywho, I’m back now, had to watch the Cubs game. So anywho, some of Christie’s other friends showed up. We hung out there until about 11 when John, Heather, Kris, Jeff, Christie and I went to a bar called Hogs and Honeys. Although I had never been there before, the girls all had. Much to our surprise there was no cover charge even though it was late. There were a lot of people there, but I wouldn’t say it was packed. It was a very diverse crowd too, blacks, whites, Hispanics, old, young, male, female, gay, straight honestly there were people from just about all walks of life there. They were playing dance music and they had a mechanical bull which there was a short yet very slowly moving line for. Kris and I waited in line for what seemed like forever to get on, but while waiting I saw how the guy in charge of controlling the bull treated another guy who was riding the bull. So, I changed my mine. Heather and Kris however got in line later and both rode it.

  They also let chicks dance on the bar there too. In fact, Kris and Christie both walked right in and started dancing on the bar. Later on they had this contest in which 5 guys got on the bar took off their shirts, drank a beer and then did 5 pull ups on a pipe that was hanging from the ceiling. The guy that won was very cute and had a great body. I had thought about getting up there too when they were looking for guys to go up there, but I was driving and not drinking, so that quickly ruled me out.

  The whole time we were there we were standing next to a bar table with a bunch of drinks on it. I was drinking water and put my water down on the table. After a while I picked it up and drank it and when I did, I realized it was a very strong water. In fact, it was not water at all but somebody’s vodka on the rocks. Turns out my water was on the OTHER side of the table. How fucking nasty is that, I drank some stranger’s drink. Ewwwwww.

  Anywho, that’s all for now. Fuck. I wish I could shower without having to leave my house.
