I have lots to talk about today and I don’t really know where to start or even if I want to discuss it all.

Yesterday was actually a fun day at work. I had a training class all day and I thought it was going to be miserable and boring but actually turned out to be fun. It wasn’t fun because of the subject matter or the trainers, but because NewGirl () and I are very good at amusing ourselves. Well, that and because there was so much downtime in the class.

After work I went home and pulled photos out of albums and tried to organize all my pictures. Wow, I had no idea that I had so many duplicates and that it was so disorganized. I will get it under control though! During this organizing NewGirl called me and talked me into going downtown to meet her for a drink. I thought it would be a good idea since I was canceling on her for tonight.

We met up and went to Rainbow, where dance classes were going on. There were a few cute boys in there, but there were like Oil Can Harry’s type boys and those boys get on my nerves. There was also a Latino Liberace in there giving me the eye and I was scared.

Oh, we went to Oslo first, but not because I wanted to go in there (blech) but because I wanted to see if Fernando or Xoch were in there. Xoch was in there, so I talked to her for a bit. I got to see a certain Austin performer singing. I’ve been hearing all kinds of buzz about her. I won’t mention her name, because she’s friends with my friends… but I will say that I call her Headof Payne (because that’s what I feel when she sings), and her real name is VERY similar sounding.

So now that I’ve seen her, I must say that I’m not impressed. I thought she was loud, harsh on the ears, wore too much makeup, and looked like a Goth Stevie Nicks. I know she wears different crazy outfits all the time, but seriously… the voice was just not there for me. It was like loud wailing. I’m not having it any of that, no thanx.

So we hung out at Rainbow for a bit, then stopped back by Oslo to say hi again, then went to have dinner at Opal Divine’s. I was supposed to go to Irene’s (the ex-wife) birthday party at her house, but I was too tired after dinner. I don’t think we left Opal’s until around 10ish.

I dropped Andrea off at home and then drove home while chatting with drunk Xoch. I feel bad now about ditching on Irene’s birthday. I will have to call her tonight and apologize.

Today is day 2 of the training class. I hope it will be fun again, although I have a feeling it won’t be.
