ometimes in life you have to get together with some of your best friends and resolve to do nothing more than drink. That's just the way the world goes sometimes. That's the way the world went tonight.

Starting with the always horrible Philips vodka, Mr. Utah and Mr. RPM and I worked our way through the liquor cabinet. Then, after we all realized that we were, in fact, drunk, we walked to a party consisting mostly of undergrads. Mr. Utah, in an amazing display of badassery, walked on a broken limb--without crutches. Upon our arrival at said undergrad party, we were treated to a truly amazing array of awesomley bad 80s music, including, but not limited to, "Highway to the Danger Zone," "Hungry Like the Wolf," and "Sweet Child 'o Mine." It was a good time.

And it got me thinking about when I was an undergrad, oh so many years ago. One of the kids at the party tonight challenged me to a beer drinking contest. We each chugged or beer. I ultimately won. But, let me tell you, I am not the chugger I used to be. I'm getting older, I'm losing my drinking abilities, and it's a hard thing to come to terms with.

Still, the night was fun. And I developed some a new obsession--Arrested Development is now my second favorite prematurely cancelled show. Firefly is still, definitely, my favorite.

In other news . . .
I'm obsessed with Ismael McKee's "Drifting." Thank you, Mr. Cañez.

but what of your ranch/swiss cheese/dish soap chugging abilities? you can't bring up your undergrad drinking prowess without addressing this key skill.

I love Arrested Development. It's the best show that no one ever watched. You might also enjoy It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Indeed, I had been oblivious to Arrested Development, even though I had heard it was awesome.

Dominique,
Surprisingly, I've never heard of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia--I'll check it out.

Dee,
That was one of my most memorable college nights. I've told the story many times. It's hard to explain in a way that accurately represents the awesomeness, both because it was very awesome and I was very drunk. I lost a good pair of pants that night.

i just spent a good three minutes laughing at the joint memories of 1--the moment when you sat on the floor and set your pant leg in twain and 2--when you said "the worst thing about this night continues to be my pants."

i think that night will endure in all of our memories when most everything else has been lost to senility/head injuries. it was all just too good.

It's Always Sunny is an FX show, I think the third season is starting this summer.
