Happy Birthday, Happy Housewarming

October 26, 2009 11:41 PM

ere we are in late October, and, for some reason, that means that three of my friends just had birthdays. Yes, Mr. Vice, pH, and Night Cactus all added a year to their life tallies recently. Oh, and I moved in to a new place that needed to be warmed. So, it was with much fanfare and shit that I invited tons of people over for a combo birthday-birthday-birthday-housewarming party. Despite L-Dawg's contention that it would, in fact, be a house cooling, I think things turned out fairly well.

The main theme to the party, if there was one other than drinking, was cooking. I prepared some sushi rice and let pH go at it with the rice, nori, raw tuna, and fake crab. She turned out some delicious rolls. So, too, did chelsadilla, who developed the ability to make excellent raw-fish-based food, even though she herself is strongly opposed to raw animal flesh and fish. So, that's coming along.

Other food items included Night Cactus's excellent udon soup, some chocolate-chip cookies made by The Bassist, guacamole and beef stir fry courtesy of me, and delicious cake brought by L-Dawg and X-tina. Here's a look at the table after the whirlwind of eating:

Also, based on the fact that we had long promised to have a cape day and the fact that Mr. Vice recently acquired a cape, we both wore capes. Here's the picture:

For some reason, people congregated in my kitchen. At one point, three out of four girls in attendance were sitting on my kitchen floor talking about who knows what. Eventually, others joined them:

Of course, the night wouldn't have been complete without music. That's why Mr. Utah and I took it upon ourselves to perform "High Happy Birthday":

And, later, with the assist from RPM, a special performance of "Low Milkshake." You gotta check this out:

So are capes the new lawyer IT accessory and have I missed this somehow? Perhaps I've been too focused on pirate law.

Although my love for pirates is trumped by my love for ninjas (as I believe Flag toga party attendees can attest), cape day sounds rad. Happy birthday, Ismael.
