Ooooooohhhh. Ouch
I'm a hurtin' puppy today.
It all started on Friday. Friday was a hockey game. S had organized it and had promised a surprise for us at the game. Well, the surprise was... N was back in town! She'd come back to town for hockey and friends (not necessarily in that order). She was here for the weekend. We'd all blown off the opening night of Morrie for the hockey game (social faux pas perhaps in the snooty art circle, but hey! This was worth it.) so after the game we hightailed it over to the post show party, to show off our prodigal friend. S was inviting people over after that for cocktails, even though it was getting late and people were begining to fade. Well, it would have only been me going over, and while I would have loved spending quiet time with them, I passed, letting them rest up for the next days events. POKER! at 7 the next evening. I've missed that!
The poker party actually started late. People couldn't make it right away, so we started with a couple of Pirate themed games. Of course the booze was flowing freely. I had my pint of the Captain that I always bring with me. I usually stop at this, but I knew I'd want more after that, so I picked up some Liney's Red for afters. S and N had already started hitting the 7 & 7s, and stated that they had every intention of getting drunk since they didn't have any place to go before noon the next day. My plans of stopping at a reasonable point ended when TD came in with a handle of the Captain. My my my my my.
I came across this titbit on my ISP homepage first thing this morning:
According to The British Medical Journal, the following seven alcoholic beverages produce the worst hangover symptoms:
1. Brandy
2. Red wine
3. Rum
4. Whiskey
5. White wine
6. Gin
7. Vodka
Yeah, tell me about it. Although I must say that while I certainly shouldn't have been driving home last night (and after all the inuendo and frustration that was flying around the poker table last night, I could easily have been convinced to stay over...) I'm not in too bad shape this morning. I was actually up and alive by 11:30, after getting home around 4am. Captain Morgan is usually pretty good to me, as long as I stick to it. So I'm a little worse for wear, and am puzzling over some things on my nightstand, some pretzel sticks and a poker chip (I think they were in my shirt pocket when I took it off last night). It felt really good last night. And it was scary how easily we all fell into the old times after almost 2 years away. I miss having N around, and it's sad that this is no longer Home to her, but that makes the occasional visit even more special. Thanks for coming, dear one. I'm gonna have to work harder at getting a job out east.
I'm going to upload pictures later today. I have some from the hockey game (we lost by the way 4-2). I didn't get any from last night, but I'll post some as they get sent to me from those who did get them. I'm going to go make some OJ and try to rehydrate. The vit.B is already kicking in and I already feel better than I did earlier.
