Ellen cracking up because she arrived at my apartment after they had packed up filmed for the day, and she was so excited about the prospect of getting to eat at PANCAKE PARADISE! (Awww, you mean it's not real? No pancakes?)
ADULT STUFF! Very thankful that we were able to keep something so terrible relatively-lovely. At one point, Mer said to me "We had a pretty good run, buddy."
Thursday was Meredith, Ellen and my third, consecutive day cooped-up in an 8' x 10' room with 3 dogs in Meredith's parent's apartment, after being displaced by Hurricane Sandy! Meredith is laughing because I don't like to eat pumpkin or squash and so now that we'd split up she was reading-up on pumpkin & squash recipes. Hahahah. So good
I'm alway asking Meredith to walk or kneel on muscle knots in my back and over the years she's gotten real good at it. Ellen had a sore mid-back and so Mer went to work.
The best thing about having an August birthday is that you can invite people to the beach to celebrate your birthday! A little before noon, we met up with Matt and Karen at the CVS by the 1st Ave subway to stock up on beach supplies...
The bar was hot and way over-crowded (what with the free ice cream and all). We worked our way into a hidden corner and our exploration was rewarded with the discovery of an industrial-strength fan. A simple flick of the switch turned that shit into a Whitesnake video situation right-quick.
On Friday night we went out Union Pool for Jaymes' birthday! Here he is showing off the the gift Meredith picked out for him (a polar bear that shits jellybeans!)
We spent the afternoon watching DVR'ed episodes of Wife Swap. The episode where the black dude ends up living with an entire family that's into renaissance reenactment made me laugh until I cried.
As the surprise wore off, she just started laughing and laughing. Her first words back to me after my proposal were inspired by Bret Michaels and VH1's awesomely terrible Rock of Love. She asked, "Will you stay in this house and continue to rock my world?" Hahaha.
Meredith and I arrived at The Delancey a little early so we could have a few drinks and catch up with some peeps (Like David "Capt. Creepy" Kreitman, see here peeking into the picture to recreate one of his most creepy photo moments from my going away party last summer).
Oh, lookee here! Look who's gloating? (She's only laughing because she has no idea that this one time would be the ONLY TIME SHE'S EVER BEAT ME AT SCRABBLE! Bwa-ahahahahaha!)
On the walk home I realized that Meredith and Leigh's yellow and red hoodies made them look like they were playing "Mustard" and "Ketchup" in a 2nd Grade musical about the lunchroom.
