The Hangover Part III

This is what happened last weekend to the best of my memory (and not even my normal horrible memory) in order of how I remember it.

• I made myself a pretty strong drink to prepare myself for a "date". For those of you who know me, I don't go on dates. This may have been my first ever.
  
• Met ***** for dinner at a nearby sushi place. We had pleasant conversation and a nice dinner and a beer apiece.
• ***** thought it would be fun if we went to Pineapple Hill afterwards for some drinks and karaoke. I told her talking me into karaoke is about as difficult as talking a girl into shopping.
• We arrived @ 8:30 (karaoke starts at 9) and had a couple of drinks and signed up for karaoke.

{a little background on Pineapple Hill. it - is - a - shithole. there is no stage. you get two wireless microphones and sing wherever you please. the clientele ranges from emo 21 year-olds to old married couples. karaoke ranges from the same. therefore it - is - awesome}

• ***** signed us up for the first song of the night (Rolling in the Deep). I told her I would sing with her but since I don't know the song AT ALL I mostly stood there with my mic in hand and watched her sing it. She did a good job considering.
• We had a lot more drinks.
• I signed us up for the second song of the night but told her it would be a surprise. About thirty minutes later it was our turn again and we sang Billionaire. Well, I SANG Billionaire (yes, including the rap part) and she stood holding the mic -- perhaps out of revenge, perhaps because she didn't know the song, or perhaps because I ROCKED THE SHIT out of it.
• Many many more drinks (for the record, ***** drank bud light and I drank vodka sodas - this will come into play later).
• We discussed the infinite possibilities of song choices (there is NO LIST) until finally realizing our shared love for Glee and then eventually chose Dream On as our next song.
• I remember singing..."every time that I look in the mirror..."

.... THE NEXT MORNING .....

• I woke up on the couch in my apartment to my roommate standing over me and grinning like an idiot. It was 7:00 am. My roommate is a nice guy, btw, but incredibly awkward and looks like the lovechild of Chris Farley and Harry (from Harry and the Hendersons).
• Once I figured out where I was and why my head felt like I put a drill through it, my roommate smiled and said..."so I had an interesting morning." I asked him what he meant and he said..."I woke up to a girl in my bed. But once she realized I wasn't you she ran out of the room and slammed the door."
• I jumped off the sofa and went into my room to find ***** waking up, obviously embarrassed. I asked her about ending up in my roommates bed and she said she had to use the bathroom and must have gone in THE WRONG DOOR.
• She even remembered thinking "boy Jon sure does snore loudly". Which I think I do but that's besides the point.
• It was at this point that we both realized that she wasn't wearing anything below the equator. Nothing. And apparently that's how she was when she accidentally ended up in bed with my roommate.
• Twenty minutes later we found her pants and underwear under my bed and started to piece the night together.
• I checked my bank account to discover that, between the two of us, we managed to ring up $115.00 tab at the bar. Again, she drank bud light.
• Neither one of us remembers doing anything physical except, perhaps, holding hands on the walk home.
• I later learned from a friend who showed up at the bar (and was concerned enough that he almost told the waitress to cut us off) that ***** and I sang yet another song before we left the bar. Pink's Please Don't Leave Me. He said it was pretty awful.
• My left knee hurt really badly for the next couple of days and I have a bruise on my ass? Oh, and scratch marks on my side.
• I will never show my face at Pineapple Hill again. For obvious reasons. And for that matter, should probably never go on a "date" again.
  

Pearls of Wisdom From My Mother

I am looking forward to possibly adding to this list after all the togetherness of the family reunion next week.

My Mother On Farmville:

"I will never in my wildest dreams understand how somebody gets a kick out of clobbering somebody's groundhog or watering somebody's strawberries."

My Mother On a Self-Created Obligation:

"So no matter how negative and bitter she is, I try to call her once a week and listen to her complain. [pause, trying not to smile] I feel it's the Christian thing to do."

My Mother On Men:

"Never trust anyone with his hair slicked back without a part. Think about it--I'm right."

HEEYYYYY! These R frm mybestESTfriend f0r ever and ever forEVER!! (: ♥

OKC Airport - I love you

Observations from the bar by Gate 10

Very distressed Filipino bar tender. Do not order multiple items at a time she will flip out.

Traveling business man who orders a Mike's Hard Lemonade on ice because he is hot.

Someone who looks like he is related to the White's of West Virginia. He is looking a hotel room in Columbus Ohio that allows smoking and accepts corporate lodging. Whatever that means. - The Holiday Inn does not - he is distraught! He is also 5 ft 6in and weighs 100lbs. Note bartender does not like him.

Two hot guys watching baseball and playing on their computers.

Old man lawyer type eating chips and salsa.

Couple in mid 30's - Husband orders bud light in bottle - they only have draft so he gets a Guinness instead - really?!?! If this were Texas I would say they were Aggies - so prob went to OK State. But you get the picture. He is wearing cargo shorts and Oakley's

I so wish I could take pictures. No such luck with out being super obvious.

OMG....bartender is really trying to give guy with sleeveless shirt and camo hat chips and salsa since kitchen is now closed (at 7pm!) she just got pitcher of salsa out of fridge like it was a selling point.

Man i wish i had a video camera. this is pure gold.

Things I Bought From A**z*n In February

Why the Sleep Cycle App Is Awesome*

1. It only costs 99 cents.
2. It monitors your sleep cycles (based on how much you're moving around) using the iPhone's accelerometer.
3. It taught me that the iPhone has an accelerometer, and also what that is.
4. It charts that s**t!
   
5. It wakes you up with your choice of pleasant sounds around the time you need to be up (default is a 30-minute window)--but it waits until you are in a light sleep, thereby avoiding the disoriented, groggy, can't-recover-all-day-long feeling that you get when jarred awake from deep sleep.
6. Did I mention the charts? Charts!
   
7. I actually feel really good today.
   

*All based on one night/morning of use

Things I Forgot to Talk to Boxcar About the Other Night

PJenkins' Pre-2010-Oscar-Nomination Overkill

It's that time of year! Oscar nominations are announced tomorrow morning, and with that in mind I present the following lists:

Things that will probably happen that will make me very, very happy:

• Black Swan gets nominated for lots of things, including Cinematography and Directing (but not necessarily for Buster's dream girl)
• The Fighter gets nominated for lots of things, including Editing and Directing and Costume Design (and maybe even Marky Mark?!)
• True Grit gets nominated for lots of things, including Cinematography (give this man an Oscar already!)

Other things that might happen that would fill me with joy and delight (but I'm not holding my breath):

• Never Let Me Go gets nominated for best Score
• Blue Valentine pulls nominations for both Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams
• Dianne Wiest, Jacki Weaver, Miranda Richardson, or Barbara Hershey get nominated for Best Supporting Actress (I like my older ladies)
• I Am Love gets nominated for Cinematography  

Other things that would make me jump up from the couch but these things won't happen and that's OK because then I won't spill my coffee all over myself:

• Tilda Swinton gets nominated for I Am Love
• Carey Mulligan gets nominated for Never Let Me Go
• Never Let Me Go gets nominated for anything else (particularly Best Original Song)
• Any of the ladies from Please Give get nominated
• Winter's Bone gets nominated for Art Direction or Costume Design. 

Things that would make me fly from my couch in an apoplectic orgy of surprise, horror, coffee burns, and total happiness:

• Juliette Lewis gets nominated for knocking the little pink balls on the back of my socks off in Conviction. Have you seen this, people?

Things I find strange about my own picks (which are after the jump, as they say, if you'd care to read them (superlong list!)):

• Three of my all-time favorite actors (of all time!) are up this year, and they aren't even in my own list! Sorry Robert Duvall, Jeff Bridges, and Sam Rockwell. Don't call me biased. I won't mind if they're in, though, obvs.
• Two of my all-time favorite actresses are probably getting nominated this year but aren't even in my own list. Sorry to you too, Annette and Julianne. But let's be honest, this movie was no The Grifters or Safe.
• A lot of these actors I did pick are rilly young.

Care to see for yourself? Jump!

The Greatness of Neil Diamond

I just read this blog post and started thinking about how Neil Diamond doesn't get nearly the credit he deserves as a songwriter these days. It seems like everyone's preoccupied with trying to be funny and/or ironic to really appreciate how awesome he is. These are some of my favorite Neil Diamond songs, with some of the greatest songwriting of all time.

PS - Happy 70th, Neil!

Found list Christmas edition 2010

This is a list I found on the island at my parent's house about an hour before we had Christmas Dinner. My brother cooked all of Christmas Dinner - so I am not sure why she needed to make this list.

I originally wrote this post on Christmas Day, but I just now got around to downloading the picture from my blackberry.

Things I Had To Look Through On My Drive This Morning

1. Jacked up eyeball
2. Dirty glasses (because I can't wear contacts with a jacked up eyeball, and I can't find my little glasses cleaning cloth - think pjenks in 2000)
3. Scratched and foggy sunglasses over my glasses (thanks to my Dad and the doctor who did his cataract surgery last year)
4. Filthy windshield
5. My own guilt at being late for work, yet again

Also, all of this in absolute silence because my radio still doesn't work.

Miss Beth

Similar to Buster's latest list of someone else's found list, I give you Miss Beth's to-do list.

Things for Miss Beth to do

• Go to bar and drink until midnight
• Go home and party in undies
• Skip work and go to party
• Insult everyone
• Get run out of town
• Become a hermit

overwhelming client meeting

Yesterday I had a meeting at a client's office, out of town.  Originally there were going to be two of us going to the meeting but the client didn't want to pay for two of us, so I had to go alone. When I walked into the room yesterday morning, alone, there were at least 15 people already there. 3 or 4 more came in and out so I never got the exact count at any given time. These 18 (EIGHTEEN!) or so people were from 5 (FIVE!) different companies.

...And only me to answer questions and such, for 8 (EIGHT!) hours.  (Yes, I want you to be amused, impressed, and sympathetic, all these things).

At the end of the meeting, I had managed to collect only 8 business cards from the following people (I have changed one letter in each name, for googling protection):

• Okimasa Nokanishi, Company A
• Hiraki Mochiki, Company B
• Otsushi Sozuki, Company B
• Haroshi Ochida, Company B
• Shoji Moramoto, Company C
• Alexandro Lora, Company D
• Mashahi Yojima, Company D
• Haroaki Abi, Company E

Three things I hope I never need to know how to do

What the Internet Thinks I Look Like

So I was trying to find information about a building lobby on Congress Avenue because a friend of a friend has just published a pretty awesome-looking book of photographs of high school football stadiums, and he's looking for a place to have a little party/hang some art. I did a Google image search for the building and found the assortment of pictures kind of puzzling. Of course I have googled myself many a time before, but never ever thought to Google Image myself. Here is what I found:

• One picture of me, on the second row
  
• One picture that I took that is posted somewhere on the UT School of Architecture's website
• Oh wait--another picture of me
• Lots of other so-called JFs, including one who appears to be a rodeo star
• Downtown tv show logo
• Lots of casualwear
• A few scantily clad A&F models
• Some beat-up-looking dude who seems to be giving a sports press conference
• Meryl Streep
• Julia Child
• A book cover and a movie poster related to the above two
  
• A calculator
• Some line graphs
• Lots of jeans folded to look like Ws

I highly recommend that you do this for yourself. This is, I think, my favorite JF image.

Family Phone Calls This Week

Me: Will it be weird if I go?
Mom: Weird? Why in the world would it be weird? Unless you MAKE it weird...

---------

Cousin: You mean you knew this the whole time we were talking yesterday, and you kept it to yourself?!
Me: Yeah, I just didn’t really think it was my place to--
Cousin: Hot damn! I can’t believe that.
Me: Ok, well, I don’t know if my mom has told your mom yet.
Cousin: Well, I’m pretty sure he knew that cat was out of the bag when he told me.

---------

Mom: [I can’t tell whether she’s laughing or crying] Now, you need to keep this to yourself, but it's kind of one of those Friday the 13th deals. Your dad asked whose birthday it was, and I said, “I think it’s one of the twins’.”

Great Moments in My-My-My-My-My Boogie Shoes History

In reverse chronological order:

• Billy and Lauren's superfun jazz dance this week. This doesn't necessarily showcase the amazing technical skills that these two actually have, but I love it so so much. My favorite part is probably the easiest part of the whole routine, but I must have rewound it 8 times Wednesday night alone. At -1:25.

lauren billy 7 @ Yahoo! Video

• All of Sports Night comes back to the office drunk after getting thrown out of a bar. Makes me nostalgic for the career that no one actually has. Skip to about 8 minutes in.

• Making out with a stranger on the dance floor at a Shreveport club called The Reactor while K.C. and the Sunshine Band played LIVE. I have no video of this, but I can tell you that I was wearing a tshirt *tucked in* to plaid shorts, with matching socks and Dexters. Ah, Baylor days--you can see why I was so irresistible to that boy...

Overheard at the Family Reunion 2010

I really should have kept better notes, but here goes.

"That girl was on drugs and really messed up my haircut. And I'm gonna tell her that, too. As soon as she gets out of jail."

"Those horses follow one right behind the other. Until one of 'em craps."

My brother to me, following a really unfortunate incident that I should have been able to avoid (I must stress that this is commentary, NOT a request):
"How 'bout that shirtless hug?"

My mom--in a cabin full of middle-aged sober women, including me--to the shirtless step-cousin, who had just given a drunken speech about how to avoid public drunkenness charges in Arkansas. Cheery voice.
"Well, that is just GREAT information for everyone in this room."

Guess who--when asked which movie he had just spent the last (I want to say 2 hours, but really more like) 10 minutes explaining. As a warning to me, I should add, when he found out I'm going to Italy.
"It's called Taken. Or Tooken--I'm not sure."

50-something man obsessed with his new fancy camera, to 8 year-old girl:
"Look--it's a close-up of the hair between your eyebrows."

A Good Spell, Anyway
