Social whore

Last week and through the weekend I went out 4 nights and 5 days in a row. For someone that is "funny" about social get-togethers I think I managed fairly well. Naturally by the time Sunday came round the cracks were beginning to show. I was emotionally and mentally exhausted by the end of it and then had a sleepless night due to heat and other factors. In the midst of all of this I had a fascinating discussion about the Brazilian version of Hooters. Apparently the chicks are genuinely hot there and have real boobs - who would've thought!

Tonight I went to my sister's for evening wine and chats. She leaves for Dubai in a couple of weeks and every time she is over here my parents monopolise her time so I took matters into my own hands by doing the alcohol-fuelled drop by. Every six months or so we have a State of the Union address in which she helps me figure out what the fuck I should do. She's very good with stuff like that. She also has the distinction of being the only Australian-based person I will listen to about that stuff as she understands the life and is able to present a balanced point of view.

I'm not especially happy at the moment so this blog is on standby til I figure out what to do. This means that you guys need to update your blogs regularly so I have fun things to read and vicariously experience. Make it so.

... yes, I've been watching Star Trek again recently...

My Dad lives in one of those huge retirement cities in Arizona. What a fun place to visit--a town populated by noting but old folks. Anyway, we were having a hard time finding a restaurant to eat at while I was there. Every eatery was packed, except for...Hooters. My first thought was that perhaps the waitresses were senior citizens, too. ~Erase mental image, erase!~
When I asked my pops why no one went to that Hooters, he said, "Because the food's terrible!"

"Of course, the food's terrible, but what about the...oh, never mind. I get it now."

Sad. I don't ever want to be THAT old.
