DUDES!
These are my favorite cruise photos so far. You can see most of days 1-4 right here.
On Wednesday night, we did nothing but have an Indian-food picnic on the living room floor and curl up on the couch. It’s possible we may have made out to American Gladiators, too. Hey, that show was awesome! I knew Matt’s parents had arrived in town last night when I walked into his apartment and found his previously-bare counters buried under piles of food. His mom had prepared a buffet on the table, complete with Easter plates. We ate and then went downtown, stopping at MacKenzie’s for a pre-show drink (a bar I spent perhaps 40% of my life at when I worked at the State Theatre). We then proceeded to the Orpheum to see Harry Connick Jr. I wasn’t really familiar with his music, but the show was great, and the band was unbelievable. Also, I was very amused at all the middle-aged ladies wetting themselves over him. I know the dude is married, but I could swear he’s gay. Every time he heckled the audience, he did so in a shrill, bitchy voice I’ve only heard regularly within the confines of the 90s. Afterward, we went to Solera for tapas and beverages. While the service was a catastophe (at least half the plates we were delivered weren’t ours, and some of ours never quite made it to us), the drinks were very good, and helped maintain my Caribbean glow; it’s threatening to fade, what with the (short-lived, I hope) return of winter. Tonight i plan to bake something dessertlike for tomorrow, and then go out and chill with the homies. We had originally considered dancing, but I’m really into the idea of just hanging out tonight. What with vacation, it feels like it’s been a really long time. Have an excellent weekend, Easter, and Bad Saturday, you guys. See you next week! jenni
