Not very hard to answer &#8212; I&#8217;m still (unfortunately) unemployed, so have no set schedule, and I had a lot of fun at the her birthday party&#8230;so it was a go, as far as I was concerned.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday day I spent just hanging out at home. As I don&#8217;t have my computers set up over there yet, I&#8217;ve been doing a lot of reading and working on a jigsaw puzzle, so those took up the majority of the day. That afternoon Holly called, and I walked a block down to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.babeland.com\/\" title=\"Toys in Babeland\">Toys in Babeland<\/a> where Holly, Ken, and Courtney were doing some shopping. I have to admit, I had no idea there were so many varieties of vibrator available&#8230;!<\/p>\n<p>Once done there, we headed up to (the other) Ken&#8217;s apartment, where we met up with (the other) Ken, Ryan, and another guy who&#8217;s name I&#8217;ve completely spaced on. After a bit of time there (where I introduced them to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.divine-interventions.com\/\" title=\"Divine Interventions\">Divine Interventions<\/a>, home of the &#8220;Baby-Jesus Buttplug&#8221;), we divided into seperate cars &#8212; Holly and Ryan in one car, Ken and Courtney and I in another, while (the other) Ken and his friend waited to head out later, and went out to Tali&#8217;s house for the party.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/graphics\/2001\/07\/graphics\/talis02.jpg\" title=\"Talitribe\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Talitribe\" src=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/graphics\/2001\/07\/graphics\/talis02-thumb.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"100\" align=\"right\" \/><\/a>I had a lot of fun during the ensuing party. Saw a lot of the people I met at Holly&#8217;s birthday party again, and met a few more members of the Talitribe (that being the name of this family of friends, with Tali being the &#8216;mother&#8217; of everyone). Just a very relaxing evening of having fun, talking and joking around a lot, soaking in the hot tub &#8212; something I don&#8217;t get to do very often &#8212; and generally enjoying myself. This seems to be a really good group of people &#8212; the general atmosphere during these parties really reminds me a lot of the parties I used to have at the Pit a few years back, when that group was still going strong. I&#8217;ve missed those days, and it&#8217;s nice to have found something similar down here.<\/p>\n<p>The party lasted long into the night and next day, as is common for these things, and I ended up grabbing a few hours sleep in Tali&#8217;s room next to Renda, Griffin, and (at times) Ken, (the other) Ken, Tali, Amber &#8212; and there may have been some others floating in and out, too. Much of Sunday was spent kicking back and waking up, as various people reappeared from wherever they&#8217;d passed out for the night. I ended up at one point watching the Adam Sandler comedy <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/0783229445\/djwudicom-20\" title=\"Amazon: Billy Madison\">Billy Madison<\/a> &#8212; and I have to admit, I think I was better off standing by my previous desire never to see any Adam Sandler flick other than <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/0780622588\/djwudicom-20\" title=\"Amazon: The Wedding Singer\">The Wedding Singer<\/a>, as I find him to be one of the least funny &#8216;comedians&#8217; out there.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually everyone was up and mobile, and we headed out for dinner (as it was now almost 6pm) at Charlie&#8217;s, a restaurant on Broadway. After a good meal and more general hilarity and whatnot, I wandered my way back to the Shoebox, as Charlie&#8217;s is just 10 blocks or so away. A few minutes of attempting to work on the puzzle was enough to convince me that I was absolutely beat, so I just spread out my &#8216;bed&#8217; (blankets and pillows on the floor for the moment), and crashed out.<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s been pretty standard so far &#8212; got up and came over here to Casey&#8217;s to check in on things here. Tonight I&#8217;ll be meeting up with Ryan at a bar called <a href=\"http:\/\/seattle.citysearch.com\/profile\/11275915\/\" title=\"CitySearch: The Baltic Room\">The Baltic Room<\/a> to catch some of the downtempo beats being spun. Hopefully that should turn out to be pretty good&#8230;and hey, it&#8217;s exploring someplace new, which I generally enjoy. We&#8217;ll see this evening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So Friday evening I got a call from Holly seeing if I was up to heading out for another party with her group of friends.
