weekend recap

effulgence - The State of being bright and radiant.

 

Weekend recap -

 

I'm a bit worn today. Some reason, I thought staying up till 1am writing would be good for me. Well, It was. I really can't ignore writing. Like a carpenter, writers take the raw materials of life, cut it, nail it together and build something.

 

Friday night. Rennie and I took our hall door off it's hingers, set it up outside on out patio and had a one on one beer pong match. He kicked my ass, but I blame the Sox game being on. We capped the night with cigars and scotch and a Red Sox victory.

 

Saturday - Spent the day sawing through pipes, smashing bathtubs, tiles and smashing down plaster in Arlyn's house with Craig. Talk about a sense of accomplishment. I also had to stop by the office to finish up a memo. After passing out on the couch watching football I woke up to find the Yankees had clinched the division title. Where the hell was the one game playoff?! Whatever, Red Sox are going to the playoffs anyway!!

 

The Texas Trio threw an awesome party in Adam's Morgan. It has to be one of the top five apartment parties I have attended. Number one still is Alex Friedman's going away party. Somewhere in that mess of Vodka worms, boob battles and free flowing kegs I found happiness. I would Argue number two is My senior year painting party at the good old 16th and R. You mix booze, sorority girls, frat boys and underagers with acrylic paint and the free will to paint whatever they wanted onto my white bedroom walls and you get massive colorful scenes of hand prints and love making. Mintwood PL - home of the Texas Trio takes the cake for number 3. It wasn't fratastic (thank god for the sake of the nice apt), but it was close towards the end of the night there. It was a beautiful night, with beautiful efflugent people who just wanted to have fun. I made new friends, saw old friends, and we all made stories. It made me a little sad. I know as tired as I feel of that scene, I also know I'll miss it when I leave DC. I also wish I remembered more of the end of that night. It was all a blur of flowers, whiskey, balcony, disco and pizza.

 

Sunday - i woke up still fully dressed from the night before and hung the hell over! 8:30am got to shower, got to get dressed, got to play football downtown. I did it. They had me covering the speedster and we shut them down and won 26-0. I felt the whiskey come up a few times. By the second half my hangover was gone and playing football on a beautiful sunny day by the water wasn't so bad at all. Overall, great weekend.
