Fun New Year
Yesterday I had a belated birthday dinner with Honest John and Gurl. Went home for a Disco Nap and returned to Gurl and Honest John to head out to that coffee shop near the old Badlands whose name I can never remember. We met up with Dreamy Ron and his friends. It's even more pretentious than ever, with coffee shop trustafarian kids throwing even more attitude at the counter than you would get at a 7-11 in PG County. Got buzzed up on coffee and headed over to Apex, formerly Badlands.
While I hadn't been there in years, nothing much changed except for the decor. More space, and a little more foofy than before, but the mean bartender in the front was still there, as was this cute coat guy Alex. What a blast from the past. He's an adorable twink with braces who's really nice, and while he's not my type, niceness is rare in bars so I gave him my number. He worked out at the Gold's in Arlington when I worked over that way, and we always had nice chats. Took me a while to recall the memories... I swear I have early onset Altzheimer's.
Gurl noted that the guy with the sock in his pants was in the exact same spot as he's always been, at the top of the stairs near the entrance.
We had a few drinks and brought in the New Year and all that. DJ woofy Rob was spinning his happy tunes like he does. Shirts went off and I was flirting with a guy I must have met a while back. Again, early-onset Alzheimers was in effect, and I can't recall from where. Again, twinkish but handsome. Thank you Tina (my barber, not the other Tina) for the fly haircut on Monday, it really works for me. The long hair experiment had to end.
John disappeared and so did Gurl, and Ron and I left soon after around 1:30ish. Good thing we did, as when I got to my parking space, a tow truck was removing the car next to it, and mine was next (insert alarmed chimpanzee noises here)! I got into the car and got the hell outta there, thanking my lucky stars grampaw jimbo got tired when he did. Jeez...there's no parking in DC on NYEve, why can't they relax a bit, I was parked behind a dry cleaning store that wasn't even open.

Kermie,
You'll be happy to learn that our little protoge did not puke on New Years. I think he's finally learning, though he was a *mess* the night before.
Hurp.

In a lot of cities, they've let towing companies become parking enforcers, which means free-for-all. Damned privatization.
