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.
