vacation update

My name is Patrick Drury. Here's what you need to know:
-I am sexy.
-I am smart.
-I am on vacation.

My vacation started last Wednesday at 5:00 pm. I arrived home from a long day at work to find Dirty had let himself into my house and was playing Guitar Hero. I joined in, as it seemed an appropriate way to begin my vacation. Dirty had to go to work soon after I got home, though. So later that night we met up at Shamrock's for dinner, beers, and darts.

Thursday morning I woke up and headed to Sara's mom's house to help cook Thanksgiving dinner. It was delicious. Sara has become an awesome cook in the almost year and a half we've been dating. After dinner we went to Lburg to have supper with my family. It was, as they say, a hoot.

Friday Sara and I bummed around my house and did absolutely nothing - because that's what vacations are for.

Saturday I headed out to St. Awesome's early to do a little technical directing. It was a long, busy, but productive day. After church I headed to the Dame with Sara, Dirty, the Colonel, Jennifer, Mike, Vlad, and ET to see Sunday Valley. They're back together as near as I can tell. In addition to the folks I was there with we also saw a small handful of peoples from St. Awesome's - not the least of whom was my friend Ashley. Ashley reads this blog and was really excited to meet Dirty. Excited the way some people are excited when they meet a celebrity. It was kind of hard to watch. Not because of Ashley's reaction, but just because it was Dirty. The last time anyone was excited to see him was in a police line-up.

Sunday morning, after a mere 5 hours of sleep, I headed back to St. Awesome's for more of the technical directing. I directed the crap out of those technicals. Seriously. After that I spent the day with Sara sleeping, taking walks, and watching tv.

Come Monday it was time to start the Christmas shopping. I got a lot done in the first day. More than half, probably. After Christmas shopping I played a little guitar hero with Dirty, and went to Shamrock's with Sara (where she BEAT ME in a game of darts). After dinner we headed back to my place for some boyfriend vs. girlfriend Guitar Hero (I beat the ever-lovin' crap out of her) and then I met Dirty at Patchen Pub so we could hang out with favored bartender Mike. I hadn't seen Mike in months. We sat and talked for a few hours about life, race relations, and women. It was a good night.

That's the vacation so far.

Tomorrow I have lunch with No-Nickname-Fred. After that Dirty and I are headed downtown because KITTY'S IS SCHEDULED TO BE DEMOLISHED TOMORROW. We're thinking about chaining ourselves to the building in an attempt to stop the wrecking ball. If nothing else we want to salvage a brick or two as a memento.



you're the best vacationer i know. you really maximize your days of rest.

kudos.  


wow, you actually got me to laugh out loud!  


Thanks for lunch Patch. Really enjoyed the time with you and Sara.

Did you manage to grab anything from Kitty's??  


It was like I was on the red carpet. Dirty is my favorite, sorry Aquaman, you are a close second.  


BURNNNNNN!!!!  


As a matter of fact, Fred, I did get some stuff from Kitty's. There's actually a really depressing story connected to that, though, that I'll share next week when I'm back blogging regularly.

Also - Nice to see you on the blog Ashley. Please don't say anything else to make Dirty feel like he's worth something. It'll only make it that much harder when he finds out he's not.  


i've never been in second place before. i don't like the way it feels.

starting now, i'm making my move for first.  


So what happened with Kitty O'Shea's thing? Did you get a piece of Kitty?

You know...I boned up on my knowledge, and found out Kitty O'Shea, or Katie if you will, and you will, was an English woman who had an affair with an Irish political figure named Charles Stewart Parnell. She was called Kitty by those that didn't like her, which was a slang term for prostitute. What I'm trying to say is you had your best and most favorite imes in an English prostitute named Kitty.

BTW...Del says there is a Kitty O'Shea's near his place in Arlington. Next time you venture out this way, we'll go.  


see, that information just makes Kitty's that much more fantastic.  


Sorry, I didn't read the post about you updating us next week. As they say in Spanish Myo Bado.

So you're Guitar Hero skills are good enough to beat your girlfriend huh? Good work. So who is the best Guitar Hero player out of the MWK Lexington group?  


Aquaman,

Your last post should have read:
"See, that information just MADE Kitty's that much more fantastic".

A past tense linking verb is more appropriate since the "Kitty's" you are referring to is no longer erect.  


it's still erect in my mind, and it will always be.
