HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANJALI!!!
More time has passed since my last entry than I would have liked and I apologize. But hey, shit happens am I right?
Let’s see, what’s been happening since my last post? Well as the title of this entry suggests, my cat did spew hot barf on my naked foot the other day. That was pretty sick. Oh and there was the time I fell asleep in the bathtub after a long weekend of work and woke up freezing at 4am. If only someone could invent some sort of… hot… tub… that’s just always warm. Hey, a man can dream.
It’s my best pal’s first kid’s 6th birthday today and I’m really bummed I’m not in the suburbs of Chicago hanging out with them all. I’d rather be there than just about anywhere. I’d get to see another of my favorite friends Steve and his new baby, we’d all have beer and hang out (the adults, not the children, you twisted monsters). I’d visit some family, eat some pizza, play in the snow…. sonofabitch I wish I was there! The last time I was home was two years ago today, when typically I try to get home a couple times a year. This is fucked. Brian mad. Brian make change so Brian be happy. Brian miss home. Brian type like asshole now apparently.
Anyhoo, not a ton else has been happening since I last wrote. Just easing back into work, getting excited about the addition to the restaurant, though it’s many months away from completion. Hoping we just continue to kill it. It’s a wild ride trying to help make a restaurant successful and especially, of course, during this COVID shit. Thankfully we have an awesome, supportive community helping keep us alive! And the food is legit, too.
Alright I need to find some beer. And then after that try to figure out why my stomach isn’t flat anymore. Adios, suckas!
LISTENING TO: Lola Marsh
This was some great, much needed new music for my ears. Thanks, Chris!
READING: The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace
My good friend Quinn recommended this a long time ago and I finally bought it and started it. It’s both wonderful and very sad.
WATCHING: Crime Scene, The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel
I lived right across the street from this hotel when this all happened so I was really excited for this doc. But holy cow is it bad :(
DRINKING: Banhez Jabali
Not that I’m some expert, but this is the best mezcal I’ve ever had. It’s a bit spendy, but absolutely phenomenal.
