surprise karaoke

this happened the weekend after my birthday (since the official day was spent in Boston). a friend distracted me all afternoon then dragged me to a Pharmacy bar and then down the block to this gem of a karaoke bar called Muzette at 18th and Kalorama and everyone jumped and shouted when we got there. it was the fancy type with private rooms that kind of feels like a brothel and smells like bleach, and it was so fun! There was a remote control you could key in your songs and they would just start playing along with the super creepy videos that didn't make any sense. and there was a button on the wall that you pressed and bam! someone would come take your drink order. we need one of those at home. no but really, january is birthday month of death. my liver needs a break.

92Q

the other day I was driving to Baltimore and I remembered that 92Q is the jam. if I end up getting a job there, which would mean like a 2 hr round trip commute, it might be ok because of that.

while i'm getting legal releases from everyone I know in order to post birthday karaoke photos, in the meantime let me give you these of me freezing my eyeballs off after biking down to the new MLK memorial on the mall on Monday.

pretty cool.

30

i said out loud the other day "man, is like everyone I know turning 30 these days?" and then I was like "probably you idiot because most of your friends are around your age." crayzee.

I was in Boston for a friend's wedding on my 30th birthday. but its cool because I got a new dress, and she got me a cake and had everyone sing happy birthday. 

 

oh, and they had a SELF-SERVE TODDY BAR at the reception, with 1 bourbon, 1 whisky, and 1 scotch. so right. even though it turned out to be 50 degrees the first week in January. best bday/wedding  party ever.
