"My Worlds Are Colliding, In The Best Possible Way!"

Last night was "Turn the clocks back night," a.k.a. extra hour of bar time night. Club Charles was utterly packed the entire night, moreso than usual, and without the usual fluctuation in the crowds. We starting thinking that people must have come out in droves on account of "The Holiday (I kid you not. I actually heard someone last night refer to Daylight Savings as a holiday.)." It was pretty oppressive for a good portion of the night, backed into the corner of the upstairs bar, perched on the steps at one point, but we persevered. Funnily enough, the place began to clear out around half past one, so all of these party animals weren't even sticking it out till the extra hour. I was pretty tired, since we had started the evening early, around 9 at Ten Car Pile-Up to see Rob's band play. It was a wonderful, unexpected colliding of my worlds, with Steve and Rainey being there, along with other people from back then (Rob King, Tim Conneally), people who I genuinely miss seeing. Rainey and I seriously need to get together soon. I had several people say how pretty I looked last night, so I must have done something right (although this morning, I thought that I looked about a hundred years old.). Had a lovely little drink at Rocket with dinner last night called a Mashed Apple (bourbon, apple cider, and ginger beer). I could make that at home. I'll have to make some purchases from the liquor store this week. I finished Season 2 of Arrested Development. I wanted to start with Season One (obviously), but Hulu only has up one season at a time on the free site, so I had to start there. It's definitely something that ultimately I want to own in its tangible form, all three seasons. I made myself lunch about an hour ago, and now I think I'll go upstaris and take a nap, since I'm trying not to spend any money today (I wish I hadn't eaten that entire box of shells and cheese for lunch, by the way.). Boots has curled up one the couch next to me as I type this. Also, friday night was Lith Hall. It was awesome. Those Lithuainians know how to have a good time. Music was excellent, the place was packed, John Waters was there, drinks are cheap and strong, just sucks having to go to SoWeBo, but this time was definitely more fun and we stayed till they turned the lights on.
