Rough, Tough, and Dangerous

fierce!

The tattoo is a heart with a mustache in support of Mustaches for Kids, which I first read about last week in Chicagoist.

This past weekend I:

  • ate at least four plates full of Tex-Mex food
  • drank many a margarita
  • went to a gay cowboy bar
  • sang loudly to country radio (I’m still a 96.3 KSCS girl, it seems)
  • got a (temporary) tattoo
  • discovered a dish (at Breadwinner’s, home of such inspired dishes as banana nut bread french toast) known as Manuel’s Eggs, which may have exponentially increased the quality of my life
  • went for a run wearing shorts and a t-shirt
  • purchased two CDs (Los Amigos Invisibles’ The Venezuelan Zinga Son Vol. 1 and the Gothic Archies’ Tragic Treasury, a collection of songs from the Series of Unfortunate Events audio tapes)
  • did not break my personal record in Bluebell-eating (which currently stands at one-half gallon plus one-half pint in four days)
  • did put a good-sized dent in a half gallon of Bluebell Cookies n’ Cream
  • saw several old friends
  • partied much, slept little
  • watched Elf and two episodes of Deadwood
  • ate at Taco Bueno
  • got the first hangover I’ve had in a very long time
  • heard a Beatles cover band perform music for a Hora
  • watched my beautiful friend L.E. marry an equally incredible guy

    current book: took a break from Moby-Dick this weekend. To be resumed tomorrow morning once I’ve recovered some sleep. Am dead fucking tired right now.

    current music: I still need to load my two recent purchases onto my iPod. Last week I listened to Mason Jennings’ Boneclouds at least five times, and you should too.

    current socks: brown, green, and blue, in sort of a faux-argyle pattern.
