...The Most Un-Thanksgiving Ever...

Happy Post-Thanksgiving Holiday Everyone!!

i hope all of you had a wonderful time, ate lots of good 'n' tasty food, drank plenty of wine/beer/other libations, and shared it all with friends and family and loved ones galore!

i know i didn't!!

i did give thanks though and am grateful for all the awesome people that life has brought me. sadly, however, i hadn't the opportunity to be with ANY of them, and spent the evening alone at home with G's cat, a pizza, and some movies i rented from hollywood video. not so bad really, but i can definitely say that this thanksgiving was probably the worst thanksgiving i've ever had.

you see, wednesday night was a racous celebration of the coming holiday and four-day-weekend. our friends R and C took us out to the viper room in h-wood to see fishbone play. it was awesome, they rocked the joint every way from sunday. i danced, i sang, i jumped up and down...i drank inhuman quantities of liquor!

yes, i was swept away by the euphoria of the holiday and lost track of exactly how much i was drinking. thinking back beyond the mind-crushing headache i think the final tally was somewhere around...

4-5 gin and tonix

1 beer

2 vodka concoctions

3 glasses of champagne

another 1/2 of a vodka concoction

needless to say, the following day your dearest narrator was the victim of...count 'em...

a FIVE star hangover.

yep, probably the first full-on five star hangover i've had in like...mmm...3 years.

i think i terrified G to death (she's NEVER seen me hung over). i awoke at around 12pm with the headache to end all headaches, it was as though someone had rammed a cast-iron umbrella through my forehead and was trying to open it up inside my skull. this then prompted a 20 minute session of retching and vomiting...as i really didn't eat anything the night before there was nothing for my stomach to vacate and thus it was dry-heave city. i kept guzzling water just to give myself something to kick back out. i took two ibuprofin only to vomit them back up. when all that was done, i crawled back into bed feeling like i had been run over by a heard of ass. i took a few bong rips to quell the nausea, drank a few more glasses of water, and downed two more ibuprofin. aaah blissful sleep came quickly and i awoke feeling as though it was only a bad dream.

the time on the clock was 3pm and i hurriedly got up and prepared to shower and get ready. as i wait for the water to warm i called out into the living room...

"sweets, when do we have to be there?"

"hun?"

"baby?"

*crickets* (the ones we fed the lizard)

it dawned on me that G was not there. the apartment was silent and still. figuring that she went to the store for some last minute food items, i jumped in the shower so that i could be tip-top and ready when she returned.

time passed, and it was nearing 4:30pm with no sign of my chicky in sight. after putting on my nice clothes i sat at the couch and watched the clock.

it was then that i saw it. i little note scrawled on an old envelope. basically, G had left for her mother's without me figuring i needed the rest and that i wouldn't have recovered on time. i called her as fast as i could.

indeed, she had already made it to her mother's, she had left at 2pm.

so there i was trapped in my apartment on thanksgiving. i tried calling my friends to see where they were. no luck. i contemplated taking a taxi to miss Z's place for she had whipped up a holiday soiree; but decided the cab fare from the valley to santa monica would be way too much. disheartened i quickly jumped in my car and stealthily made my way to hollywood video. i rented some movies and returned home where i ordered pizza and made phone calls to my family.

so it was a mellow night. pizza on thanksgiving is far from a feast, but it's better than nothing at all. it was good to talk to my family, and despite being incredibly irate at G for leaving me, i just couldn't help but feel thankful and happy. i only wished that i could have been around my friends, family and loved ones instead of being stuck alone in my apartment. and i definitely would have preferred mass amounts of turkey, stuffing, ham, bread, yams, mashed potatoes over the pepperoni pizza i ordered from papa john's (even though they make the best pizza). G brought back a meagre bag of goodies for me, a few slabs of turkey, and an equal number of slabs of ham; but none of the other fixin's. i was sort of expecting a special lil dish be brought back for me with everything, and she would heat it for me as sort of a late thanksgiving feast...but no...like a dog i was left the table scraps and had to fend for myself.

("you want some, go and heat it up yourself if you're hungry." she said as she stuffed a turkey sandwich in her mouth)

needless to say it didn't feel like much of a holiday to me, more of an extended weekend; and it definitely will go down in the history books as the "worst thanksgiving ever" or "most un-thanksgiving ever"...something like that. i just hope i never have one again that's for sure. it sucked ass.

the rest of the break was cool. relaxed with friends, watched movies, and generally took it easy. G made up for the un-thanksgiving fiasco by making me the world's most amazing breakfast burrito...twice! it was delicious!

but aaah...at last, the beauty and splendor of the extended weekend is at an end and i am back at work.

BETA is near completion, we submitted our sony review before the holiday and we should be getting feedback soon. this is the final push, when all is said and done, the game will be on store shelves and another game will be added to my already impressive reportoire.

that's about all for now my little cyber-friends. don't stress too hard this week, and know that the holidays are indeed here!

more to come! stay tuned...
