Uncorrected Personality Traits

Last Thursday was Smiths/Morrissey Karaoke. It was fabulous, atleast as far as we were concerned haha. Bill was there, of course, in full Moz regalia (got new NHS glasses for the occasion.). There really wasn't a whole lot of other people who sang, a few, but for the most part, it was Bill, Nick, and myself, which was alright. I sang I Don't Mind If You Forget Me and then I Want The One I Can't Have. It was a lot of fun (more fun than usual, actually. Don't know why.). Nick sang The More you Ignore Me. He wanted us to sing Interlude, but they didn't have it. They had this stupid recreation of the Assasination Of Abraham Lincoln, which took time away from the karaoke, then a cover band from D.C. played, and soon after, we left to go to The Wind-up. I didn't drink anything there, because I had already consumed enough at Ottobar during their $2 rail drink time. By the time we got back, he was well gone. Rob came out to karaoke, which was fun. I think he is just glad to go someplace so as not to have to run into Angel and George. Anyways, Friday we went to Club Charles. Met Lori. She was very cold to Angel when we saw her and Rob later. Things kind of came to a head about that. It was a fun night otherwise. Nick and I went back to mine, slept in on Saturday. Went to Hampden for lunch (had the WORST broccoli and cheese soup at Soup's On, they were good enough to take it off the bill.). Got coffee first, then walked to St. Mary's Cemetary. Saw some awesome tombstones, really old ones, angel statues, and one with the name that Nick says he wants to use as his alias, Osbourne P. Uppercue. It was fun. Plan on going back and taking pictures. We had dinner reservations for Abercrombie for 9:15. Initially, it seemed like it was going to be a disaster, since they were out of my first and second choices on the regular menu, and then the prix fix Valentine's Day menu didn't have the mac and cheese on it, but I wanted that one wy or the other, and nothing really jumped out, but I ended up selecting the halibut. It ended up being such a blessing that they were out of everything else, because this was one of the best meals I have ever had there or anywhere. Nick started with foie gras (gross), I got the mac and cheese (which was great, but less cheesy than usual). They had bacon wrapped scallops, so needless to say, he devoured that, my halibut was cooked and seasoned perfectly. It came on top of a garbonzo bean mash with spinach. So Good!! Nick's came with an apple fennel puree (the foie gras came with something like stewed apples, too. Surprised he ate and liked them.). For dessert, Nick had chocolate pound cake with cherry preserves. A little dry, but alright. I was thrilled with the raspberry pistashio tea cake. It was not too rich, very good. That came with a little shot glass of Chamborge Italian soda. We had a bottle of wine, and then Nick surprised me at the end of dinner with Champagne. It was an absolutely awesome dinner. Then went to The Wind-up, met Rob, then home. When at Common Ground on Sunday, ran into Carmin who was waiting for Dainty. Chatted for a bit, then to Five Guys for lunch, then Nick's parents', then on a quest for a nose hair trimmer which took us to Target and then an Ultra Mega Walmart Supercenter, and we were scarred emotionally and came out shellshocked. Back to Hampden, Christina came down and joined us for dinner at Golden West. Don't normally do anything on Sundays, but there was supposed to be a Britpop Indie Dance Party at The Depot that night. Went to check it out, reaffirmed why I go in that dubious place like once a year. Club Charles Monday night, lovely time sitting at the bar. Made it an early night. Came over early yesterday to watch Man On Wire. Ridiculous, I am so scared of heights, this blew my mind! Then to Ottobar with Rob, Vic, Kyle, and Kristy. Nick and I danced a good deal, pretty good music. Would have loved to sleep at Nick's, but had no work clothes. Got the new Morrissey album yesterday. It's pretty good, some real gems and strong lines. Definately better than Ringleader, although that had some terribly good songs scattered throughout, as well. Thinking of purchasing the Robyn Hitchcock tickets for D.C. today. I am loathe to go to D.C. in general (Ok, so 9:30 and The Black Cat aren't too bad, but still.), and this would be on a Thursday, but, it is a cool opportunity. Maybe I can take off the next day. Nick really liked that I got him I Often Dream Of Trains and the first Gaslight albums for Heart Day. I'm enjoying hearing them, too. Top Chef tonight. Down to the final four, I believe. Will be glad to see Nick tomorrow.
