Toothpicks to Hold My Eyes Open

Without Kathy and her expert navigation skills, Jason and I got lost on the drive home last night at three in the morning (and we were the first to leave the party!), and now that we’ve slept maybe four hours, I’m ingesting coffee like Paula Abdul ingests vodka and crazy pills. All night long people were saying “are you Brad Walsh?” and introducing themselves to me. One or two in a night isn’t that uncommon when we are in the company of hundreds, but this was just weird. I felt like Melissa… only, with class. YOW!

(He said, knowing full well that he was an asshole with a skull bandana around his neck not seven hours ago. And Melissa is classier than eighth grade social studies. Qualify, qualify.)

This morning my eyes opened and noticed that the alarm had not beeped us awake when it should have twenty-five minutes before. I said “great” and managed to get completely ready to leave the house in ten minutes. In fact, the D arrived just as I walked down the stairs, and there was no bridge traffic, so I rolled up into the office this morning ten minutes early. Yeah, I’m awesome like that. What?

screw the coffee. hop on the paula abdul bandwagon and toss back some grey goose and vicodin-seems to work nicely for her

if paula’s downing any bird-themed alcohol, i’m willing to bet it’s more along the lines of wild turkey than grey goose
