Week In Review '08.17

4/19 - Marina del Rey. It was a lecture at the Ritz Carlton, presented by one of the leaders in the field who gained notoriety from appearances on Oprah. It was actually pretty good, techniques and suggestions that will most definitely help for Job #2.

The pisser was the call during the lunch break. It was Scruff. I'd called for confirmation on the plans we'd made for him to accompany me to Razor Burn's birthday party. After talking about it Thursday and Friday, it turned out he wouldn't be able to make it after all. Figures. I get bailed on by two different guys for the same date.

Whatever. The family (that's what Sunshine's wife calls us) met up for dinner at Tantra. Very yummy Indian food. Everyone else met a bit later for drinks at Tantra's lounge.

4/20 - Tried to go to the gym. Nope. Tried to go play volleyball. Nope. Tried to run. Nope. I was a lazy piece of shit. Up until about 5 pm, then got all OCD and did four loads of laundry, cleaned the kitchen (including scrubbing the grout with a toothbrush and cleaning the fridge--seriously OCD)

4/21 - My trainer bailed on me. Fucking White Party--first Smooth then trainer. So I just met up with the straights for dinner at Lala's (then went home to again get my OCD on).

4/22 - After a record setting day with four patient breakdowns (is everyone depressed these days?), I just went home and curled up in front of the TV.

4/23 - It was Razor Burn's actual birthday, so Unicorn, R.B.'s roommate and I took him out for dinner at Sol y Luna.

4/24 - Worked both jobs again. Both were brutal this Thursday. I couldn't get out soon enough and head down to O-Bar to meet up with Dutch, Fishering, M@, Getty and Fanboy. Alcohol has never tasted so good.

4/25 - I finally got to work out with the trainer again. Much needed. Immediately left for guys' night out, tonight they decided to officially dub it guy's night out since Sunshine's wife was out of town and Razor Burn made a point of today leaving Unicorn to do her own thing. So we, along with Guido and Guy on Bull, met up at Ketchup. As far as this trend of restaurants offering comfort food with a kick, this place rocks. I don't eat red meat, but couldn't pass up the meatloaf. The Shake n Bake and Tuna Tartar was sooooo good too. Nana's apple pie was only ok, though. But besides the food, the eye candy in that place was spectacular! Something for the straights and the gay alike.

What was awesome about that night, however was that Sunshine and Razor Burn have once again proven themselves to be two of the most amazing people ever...more on that on a separate post.

After dinner, we met up with some stripper friends at Green Door. Yup turns out we now have stripper friends. Unfortunately for me, they're chicks. Oh well. But I really liked this club. Unlike the other clubs in Hollywood, it wasn't overly packed; I'm not sure if it was intentional or if the cover made it prohibitive in comparison to Club Ivar just up the street, but it was nice to be able to chat with people without having to scream at the top of your lungs.

I called it a night at midnight while everyone else went to Goa. Yes, Dutch and M@, I am almost 40. But work was only a few hours away.

But looking back on my week, I'm pretty sure I know why I don't yet have a house. Holy shit I fucking eat out a lot! Mental note: use my fucking kitchen once in a while.

Hey, I was in bed by 10:30pm and skipped on meeting up with you and M@, so I'm the old one at only 33!

I LOVE Ketchup! Such a cool place. I am all over that type of food! Sounds like a very long week! BTW, did you get my email? Or did you change your email address lately?
