76th annual fall gala

our friends courtney and angie threw together one of the finest shindigs to ever grace i.c.'s hallowed streets. it was, a wine and cheese party. complete with formal attire required. bring your own wine approach, they provided the cheese.

so, matt, janie, john, and i got all dolled up, and ready to go. matt and i decided this would be the perfect opportunity to drink up our home brew. so we loaded up a couple of cycling club bottles. threw the rest of our back up wine into our bags, hopped on our bikes, and headed over. we got there, and were happy to see that our attempts at dressing up were not in waste...everyone was in formal attire. one guy even had a full suit on. i was by far the least dressed up. i guess that comes with the territory when you wear cut off army pants...i wasn't about to ride the fixie in dress pants and muck 'em all up with chain grease.

the party was a hit. my compliments to the girls, they know how to throw together a good time. john is a good drunk. he danced and danced and danced and danced. he finally earned that sugartoes nickname that has been on my phone now for quite some time.

we watched the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy movie last night...it's awesome.

i finished housekeeping today. it was quite good, and that is an understatement. although, i feel i missed out on quite a bit by reading it relatively quickly, and in many small bits and pieces, rather than slowly in long, quiet draws. anyway, i liked it, and think i may have to read it again, eventually, when i can dedicate more time to it.
