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.
