5 star night in ManchVegas

I love how I can go to an apartment party on a Friday night and somehow still end up in downtown Manchester in the wee hours of the morning. I had to work on St. Patty's Day, which was only mildly depressing until my boyfriend decided to throw a party - then it was really depressing. I managed to get out early, however, and was ready to go come 11 PM (normally I get home at midnight). Due to a previous dinner of yogurt, SlimFast, and applesauce (leftover tooth extraction food) I caught up super quick with my Guinness, mmmm Guinness. Of course a lot of people left a fairly short time after I got there and by almost 2 AM things were pretty dead, so we did the logical thing and called Dominoes, who decided to not answer their phone. I drunkenly joked that we should go to the Arrow (24 hour diner) and next thing I know we're hiking 1.4 miles down Elm St with the frickin' wind in our faces trying to find the place. It was awesome. I love it when randomness like that occurs.

Of course it was 4 AM by the time the taxi brought us home, but the food was amazing and the other patrons of the diner were oh too much fun. We're planning a repeat visit sometime in April when my now, at this very moment, newly turned 21 sister comes down for a weekend - happy birthday, Lizzy!

In other news, I watched the pilot episode of Lois & Clark on Saturday and it was quite good for a pilot. I usually find when I watch a show I think is sooooo great for a long period of time that the early episodes seem really corny in retrospect, but this was good. I think both Teri Hatcher and Lane Smith are a bit over the top with some of their theatrics (they definitely got better), but Dean Cain jumped right into the Clark Kent role very well. Of course he's no great actor or anything, but he's a fairly convincing Superman and super yummy to look at, hehe. I did have to laugh hysterically at the scenes where he was "inventing" the Superman costume and how confident he was that no one would recognize him because he took his glasses off. I never got that part of the Superman world, but hey. Such a good show. Thank you, Suncoast Video, for going out of business and having TV show collections half off ;-)

That's all! Work is good, my mouth is healing slowly, and I made it back to the gym today for the first time since the tooth debaucle. I've also turned into a clothes hog and have started compulsively shopping for a new (size 8) spring wardrobe. At least this time I went through my drawers first and got rid of a whole lot of stuff to make room :-) I love having money.

I'm out! 'Night.
