The Hangover

Well today s my first Saturday not working in a long time and unfortunately I am suffering from a massive hangover. I don't really know how this happened. Well, that is a lie, actually I do know. But I have not been this hungover in a long time. I had many plans for today. I was going to enjoy the sunshine and get up early, do about 50 loads of laundry and clean. Instead I have managed to get in and out of my bed about 15 times and watch Lost and 2 Grey's Anatomys (actually, I just listened to Grey's as I thought it would be better to keep my sleeping mask on to keep the light out). I just talked to my mom for about 40 minutes and she told me to go get a little grease and some caffeine. So I think I am going to cave and go to McDonald's, because it is the closest to me and the closest thing to home hungover food. I am still going to have to do battle with my laundry.

Last night we had the April 15 party which is why I am in this state. Last year I was in India and watching skits , eating naan and not drinking. Last night I went to the casino (maybe not a good idea on Friday the 13th), ate sushi and drank plenty. It was at the Alibi (not the "Alpine" as I called it for 6 weeks and no one ever corrected me, one day I just found out and felt like a jerk) which is in the Movenpick hotel, attached to the office, conveniently enough. The Alibi bar is like our "Cheers;" we get a good deal from the bartenders there and they get good tips from us. So somewhere in between my 4th glass of chablis, while the piano player was playing "the girl from ipanema" for the second time that night, someone decided to order sambuca. By the way, they play the girl from ipanema EVERY NIGHT in that bar. Anyway, I have never had sambuca, and I did not enjoy it at all. I liked the coffee beans but that was about it. I don't think the sambuca liked me very much either as I was extremely confused when I woke up this morning and in a lot of pain. Anyway other than the massive amounts of alcohol consumed, it was a pretty tame party since we are a small group. The casino was disappointing except for the fact that I convinced Ingvill to play blackjack and she won 20 francs, so at least someone won money.

Well I imagine this post seems a little discombobulated but now you know why. If anyone would like to come over to help me get my life in order, and possibly bring me an egg and bagel sandwich, I would sincerely appreciate it. Hopefully I can post more later on whether or not I succeeded with the laundry.
