Palermo!!

The weekend officially started at 4:30 Thursday for me. I stopped off at the bank, but was too tired to go to the pharmacy, as well, so I figured I'd do that at some point Friday and proceeded home where I devoted myself to equal parts laundry and nap. I texted Nick about Run Fatboy Run not coming out till NEXT weekend (now this coming weekend) and then he asked if I wanted to grab a drink when he got off work. We went to Club Charles. Actually, come to think of it, I think I ended up in Club Charles every night from Thursday on except last night (which was Ottobar haha). Closed up Club Charles and then went to Paper Moon for grilled cheese sandwiches. It must have been three or close to it when we got home, I don't know when we actually fell asleep. Friday morning, well, afternoon, really, we went to Checkers, then sat around watching television till Nick had to get ready for work and when he left I did my running around to Video Americain to return videos, Giant to get my meds, Walmart, and Target. Came home and took a nap. He came back down around 10, and we went to Brewer's Art, which I hadn't been to in a while. It has always been so intolerably crowded every time I've been there, and it was still pretty packed, but maybe not quite so bad this time. I drove, so while I got a little tight initially, I'd sobered up by the time we left, just in time to stop by Club Charles for last call. We stopped at the Royal Farms in Hampden on the way home for him to get cigs, and we each got a bag of Combos. We had to drive down the block to the 711 because the Farm Store was out of hotdogs, so at close to three o'clock in the morning here we are eating hotdogs driving down University Parkway. Breakfast Saturday morning consisted of Combos and flat Coke, and watching info-mercials and Home Shopping Network. Hilarious. We decided to go see Funny Games at The Charles Saturday night, so we parted company basically just to get ready. We had ordered some Chinese food earlier, which I was REALLY not impressed with, and I felt pretty crappy, so I took two sets of Zantac maybe an hour apart and felt better. We had to race to get to the movies on time, which we managed to do, just as it started. Great picture, really enjoyed it. Disturbing and thought provoking. Crossed the street to Club Charles to commense the drinking. I did get tipsy early on then diluted with Diet Coke for the rest of the night till sobriety made a triumphant return. We had the table right next to the Jukebox and got to play some real gems. We ended up at a hotel party one of Nick's friends was at, and while we were only supposed to stop in for a minute, I think we ended up being there for well over an hour. I swiped a bag of Goldfish, so I was happy. The funny thing is we were supposed to make it an early night on account of both of us having to get up around 11 to go with our parents to Easter dinner. Needless to say that did not happen, and while we woke up a little before that Sunday morning, I ended up being late getting to Mom's. I was supposed to be there by 12. She called at ten after and I said I was on my way, when really I was still in bed (I stopped short of saying I'm coming, well, one of us was atleast haha. Terribly vulgar, I know.). I was sure she was going to be pissed as anything all day, but surprisingly enough, it seemed to evaporate completely. Nick left his phone by mistake so when I got back I had to call his parents' house (his dad answered and I could totally tell it was him. How retarded is it that I'm just like, "Oh my God, it's Don Scott!"). So he had to stop by to pick that up and I ended up meeting him at Ottobar around 11. He was playing pool with his friend Rob, and I was only going to stay for a drink, but, as you can probably imagine, time vanished in great big quanities, as has been happening of late, and I got to bed at 2. I slept really well, and while I totally wish I could have slept more this morning (that goes without saying), I still got up without any real difficulty, although I wish I could go straight home today after work instead of going to that stupid school to start making up my fucking hours.

I'm so glad Carm and Allen are back together. They really are too good to not be.
