Alanis would call this "ironic."
This weekend I have been invited:
To a large Jewish wedding in Tucson.
To a birthday party at the Dragon Bar in North Beach, San Francisco.
To a birthday party at the famous Sky Bar in Los Angeles.
To lunch and massages at the St. Regis resort in Dana Point.
To a three day ski trip to Mammoth.
To a three day ski trip to Whistler.
To a midnight screening of The Princess Bride in Los Angeles.
To a climbing trip to Joshua Tree.
To a climbing trip to Las Vegas.
Into the pants of a very open minded and intimidatingly attractive young woman living somewhere far (but not too far) away.
And I am sitting at home, sans voice, trying in vain to force the six pounds of congealed snot out of my head and lungs. With my luck, I am almost certain an invite to the 50th Anniversary party at the Playboy Mansion is in the mail.
How the gods torment me so. Sigh.
*Sniffle*
PS: Even if I wasn't sick as a dog and hopped up on massive quantities of decongestants, most of these events are happening simultaneously thus preventing me from doing more than one. You people, I love you all, but you gotta learn to spread this stuff out. I can almost guarantee I will have nothing to do now for the next six weekends straight.

now, for the record, if i WASN'T sick, i would probably get the twisted and exhausting idea to try to knock out at least three or four of those items with the help of a few plane tickets and large amounts of red bull. i will let you guess which four, but i'm serious when i tell you that i am not well.

I will gladly put on a Mighty Jimbo mask and handle #s 3, 4, and 10 for you if you like.

If you decide to do the Whistler thing, the ice wine is my treat!

Life's a bitch...karma must be kicking your ass for something you did in a past life.

Damn what I'd do just to get one of those invites! It sucks you're not feeling well! Rest up, you'll be ready to roll by the weekend!

Dammit, Jimbo, stop being so selfish and share the invites!

Gee, can I have your life?

tassy, you are NEVER the bottom of my list, and you know it.

I'll volunteer to tackle #10 for you. What can I say? I'm a giver.

It is weekends like this that God allowed us to clone Dolly.
Baby steps, man, baby steps.

Go skiing at Whistler and anything wrong in your life will correct itself.

I've got the same problem this weekend. I've been bored silly for 2 months straight and suddenly I have 3 functions that require my presence. Talk about bad timing. And in a couple of weeks I have to miss a Mardi Gras black tie event that I've gone to for 3 years because I decided to go out of town that weekend. Bozo.

Hit the party in north beach, and bring me along. Clearly the only solution that makes sense.
