People always say the way the year starts augurs the events of the year to come. I think thats bullshit, but I hope its not cause this Jan 1 was all about sex and beer and cheese fries and people actually visiting us in inwood, so it would be fine with me if it keeps on in this vein.

We were just spending a relaxing day at home (this is the sex part) and then Jennifer called to say she was driving back from CT to DC, were we home, did we want to have some coffee? It was weird, because the night before I had dreamed that Jennifer was on Saturday Night Live and I was like, wtf, why is she on SNL? And everyone was like, JEEZ, don't you know she's on 30 Rock?! We don't see Jennifer all the time or anything, so it was really strange that I dreamed of her and then she called that very day. Jen was creeped out. Anyway, whatever, she came with her girlfriend, whose name I think is...Melissa. And we had a very nice time having some beers and coffee and olives and hummus at the Indian Road Cafe. I have very few lesbian friends, so its a good thing Jen has one decent ex we can socialize with or else I'd never get to have a conversation about insemination methods or when the church outlawed dildos with someone who isn't secretly gagging and horrified.

THEN it turned out that Andrew and TK were also in inwood, visiting some other friends. After Jennifer and (I'm just gonna call her) Melissa left, Jen and I made a brief stop at the Liffy II for a couple of beers, and then we met up with them and the people they were visiting and ended up at the Piper's Kilt for more beers and Irish Nachos (which are fries with cheese sauce and bacon on them and are the best thing ever in life). Kiersten was almost willing to come uptown if we were going to stay out, but that had bad idea written all over it, so I dissuaded Jen from heading back to the Liffy, Andrew and TK left, and we went home.

We watched CAMP and danced around and had the beers and then got slutty and had a generally awesome time. If every day of 09 is some version of yesterday with different people rotating into the guest spots, I'll be quite pleased.
