Wake up around 11:00 this morning. I go to the kitchen, make some coffee, and then bomb back into my room to watch some more episodes of 24 to start my day off. What starts as a few episodes turns into six and, before I know it, it's going on 4:00 PM. I have to be to work at 5:00, so I take a really quick shower and get dressed and it's off to the Bou for the night.
Work is pretty dead throughout the night, which allows me some much needed downtime to do some screenplay work. We end up closing up the place about ten minutes after 9:00 and I cruise home to watch some more Jack Bauer.
On my way home, I get a call from Jerry inviting me to come out with him, Rob, Anthony, and Rohman to celebrate Rohman's birthday. As much as I want to go home and continue watching Jack Bauer kick ass, I feel that I do need to get out for a bit, as I've been shacked up in my condo for the past 3 days straight by myself. Tool's in Florida for smoothie training, so I have the place to myself for the week. I accept the invite and gun it home to get changed. I throw on some bar clothes and head over to Rob's to meet them.
Once there, I am informed that Anthony's car broke down and we can't leave until the tow truck gets there. We sit around Rob's bar drinking all his booze while we wait. The tow truck finally gets there around 11:30 and we all contemplate just picking up another case of beer and chilling at Rob's for the remainder of the evening. I opt for the chill session, as I don't really want to spend money and it's already almost midnight, so I don't even really feel all that up to "going out" anymore. But Rohman has the final say in our plans, as it is his birthday, and he opts that we go to Galloway's, which is open till 4:00 AM, but is also a good half hour away. I almost throw in the towel and cruise home, but I decide to go for a few drinks, as I'm already dressed and shit and ready to go out.
We get to the bar around 12:30 or so and the place is pretty much empty. We all order up some beers and sit around bullshitting. Just around 1:30 or so, the place starts to fill up quickly with all the people that were out beforehand at all the bars that close at 1:00 AM. I throw back one more beer and then bid farewell just around 2:00. I cruise home as fast as I can, hoping to still feel at least a bit energized to maybe catch one more episode of 24 before the booze settles in and I get sleepy.
Unfortunately, I don't make it home in enough time to still feel awake. I cruise into the bathroom to take my contacts out and brush my teeth, and then proceed to crash in bed while watching Ocean's Thirteen.
