Hey BlogFans,

For those of you who weren't there we had a birthday party for mark on Saturday at our place. I think I will try to run down the events for those of you who would possibly care and don't think that reviewing your weekend in blog form is "the most arrogant thing you have ever heard of"

Friday Night:

I am supposed to go to the phoenix to see Kate my now married (ex-girlfriend) girl friend who never comes into the city anymore and is at some event, but Kate is sick and cant make it so instead I sit on our porch with Ben Adam Will Dean Mark and Julian and drink a bunch of beer. Ben Adam Will Dean and Mark go to the Pro-Fac which apparently is a party for the U of T professional facualties this party has also been referred to as NERDSTOCK.
Mark and Julian and I splinter off to go to the midtown stopping for Mark to get a chicken schwarma at Ali Baba beside our place.
My TV buddy Gordon is bartending at the Midtown and wont let us pay for anything so I make sure I supplement my 9 porch beers (dinner) with a ton of pints and shots. This is great except I still managed to spend $22 tipping on the free drinks. Gordon is drunker than we are which is pretty impressive considering how busy the bar was. I cap off my night with a delicious chicken schwarma the majority of which is still on Ben's jeans.

Saturday Day:

Its a good thing that I took it easy the night before Marks birthday because if I had made the terrible decision to go out and get super-drunk than I might be in trouble. My only consolation while being super hung-over and trying to clean is that Mark is in even worse shape and is staring 20 odd shots and beer funnels in the face for tonight. This reminds me that I still haven't built Marks birthday funnel so I go to Canadian Tire:

HOW TO MAKE A BEER FUNNEL:

parts:

1 Funnel (preferably large)
1.5 feet Plastic Tubing
1 O-clamp

instructions:

attach tubing to narrow end of funnel and seal with o-clamp. apply beer to funnel and then apply funnel to mouth. annoy your friends by suggesting that they are "queer" if they don't funnel exactly as many beers as you do. Also works as girl repellent.


anyway I decorated the funnel with sparkly glue so you think that my present would be a lock for best present but ben and adam made a giant cheesburger which they garnished with smaller mcdonalds cheesburgers.
perhaps I will do the rest of the evening as a timeline

6:00 pm- OK so technically we havent started cleaning yet but that is ok because we are probably only going to have 25 people over and the place look only medium crack houseish since I cleaned two weeks ago when Erica was coming over. One problem are is the huge stack of dishes left over from when Ben made a batch of protien muffins on wednesday. When I suggest that Ben should do the dishes he claims that he allready did the dishes even though we are standing right beside the stack of dishes and they are covered with muffin dough.
You really have to live with him to understand it.

6:00 pm-8:00pm- I am still hungover and starting to get worried that I might not recover in-time to make myself sick with booze again tonight. I have now taken two of Adam's detox pills and still feel just as toxic as before. I mostly spend these hours watching television (i think I was watching Bull Durham- Keven Costner bashers should remember this film more because he was good in it and can actually throw a baseball)

8:30 pm- This is when I told people to arrive. Ben Adam Steph and I all magically start cleaning. everything looks pretty good except for the muffin dishes which are seriously sitting on our stovetop as you read this.

9:30 pm- our first guests arrive consisting of Amy Fry and Swartz. Amazingly both Fry and Swartz are dressed in a way that will allow them to enter a club later.

OK so I will finish this later.
