What time is it?

It's fuckin' Party Time, people!

The last couple days have been nothing short of fabulous. Dinner at Das Spooky Haus on Wednesday got started a little late, but only because Flyering was extended on account of goodness. Extra-special thanks to Christiane and Stu for their help in preparing dinner, and for letting me trash their kitchen to do so. The reaction to the festivities was completely positive, and I'm certain this is something I have to do more of in the future. I completely support "Group Dinner Night," once a week, each occasion being a different person's turn to cook and plan the after-dinner event. We can even do it at different people's houses (for people that have the room to spare, anyway). It's time to really bring this circle of friends closer together. . .

Yesterday was the last two pieces of the three-part feast that would rupture my stomach. First, Mom made an absolutely spectacular T-Day dinner for just the two of us, and I am ashamed to say I only made it through one over-stuffed plate. My body's just not used to huge meals (hell. . . full meals at all) anymore, and thus doesn't know what to do when I'm presented with one. We also gave all the fuzzies some Turkey Baby Food so that they could celebrate the day with a feast of their own. Cartwright came over in time to make some Michael Jackson jokes, and then we were off to the final round of Thanksgiving '03.

Round three took place in the lovely home of JDavyd and Nessa. This bash included tit-cups, a cute puppy, random people I've never met before, an orgasmic turkey, lots of people (myself not included) getting hammered, three minutes of the much-talked about (and fairly disappointing) Paris Hilton Video set on loop, more Prince than you can shake a stick at, quite a few boob-jokes, and a fantastic outside conversation with Cartwright, JDavyd, Kevin, and myself concerning the neverending battle of Nice Guy vs. Johnny Boom-Boom. I'd say the only downer to the night was attempting to drive home after it all, as staying awake at that point was an adventure in itself.

Honestly, this is the first time ever I've done more than just one T-Day celebration. To do three was just so incredibly fantastic I'm not sure I can describe it justly. Let's just say I am geared up for today. . .

And that's a damn good thing, too. If you have no reason to leave you house today, I suggest you simply stay indoors. To the rest of the population of the United States, today is simply known as the Busiest Shopping Day of the Year. But those working in Retail and any sort of Customer Service know it by a much more fitting name: Black Friday. Today will be insanely busy, but for a guy like me whose increase in customers is matched by increase in income, today is even more bittersweet. If I can handle the rush, which includes the possibility of no break regardless of how many hours I'm working, I will pull off rent money and more this weekend. And hell, I can't argue with that.

So again, I ask you, what time is it?
