Well, Tuesday played host to a gathering of my closest friends to celebrate the day when I blessed the world with my ethereal presence. My eclectic group of friends includes: an amateur moth collector, a cloud enthusiast, and many other interesting characters.
We went and saw, as a result of popular vote, Hangover: Part II. This was an average albeit funny film which had and almost identical template to Hangover: Part I. However, this one took place in Bangkok, Thailand and explored many controversial and current issues such as transsexualism and kidnapping. This film certainly taught everyone that 'if you haven't found [insert lost persons name here] already, they're Bangkok's now.' This certainly makes me consider other possible holiday destinations before I visit the 'City if Angels'.
After the film, we wandered out of the cinema in a daze as we were confronted by a phenomenon known as 'sunlight'. At first we were unsure of what this rare occurrence was doing to our sensitive eyes. Alas, we did get used to it but it certainly is a pain after spending over two hours in pitch black save the glow from the cinema screen. My cinema trip was accompanied by my ever faithful companion, the conventional slush beverage. Not only does it add a hint of awkwardness when slurped during a particularly intense moment of a film, it is delicious and never fails to give me a brain freeze.
Ode, to my tropical fruit slushie,
Well met, is my beverage of partially frozen water,
Mixed with a syrup of exotic artificial colourings and flavourings,
I hail thee and present myself, thy humble servant.
Err...anyway, after the cinema we went to a newly opened Carluccio's which boasted affordable authentic Italian cuisine. Being my conservative, unadventurous self, I ordered the lasagne and was scolded, albeit friendlily, by the 'woman about town' (her own description), Sandy. With a rallying 'Happy Birthday!' chorus I was presented with what can only be described as the most chocolatey cake ever constructed. We then made our way home and had a late night swim.
Swim-fest included: shoulder fights, splash wars, group jumping in and make out sessions between certain members of the group...
We then went and watched Black Swan in our movie room, surround sound and trusty high definition. I was pleasantly surprised at my brother's willingness to spend the night in the room next to an adolescent den complete with infectious laughter and differing voice pitches...still surprised that he managed to get to sleep at all!
With the cumulative hours of our sleep added up to the hefty sum of 3.5 hours. A great night had by all.
To all my friends who were present at the party, thank you so much for the presents.
Until next time...
