Six Martini Lunch

Taken out of context, six drinks at lunch might seem a bit on the excessive side. When considered within the context of an unemployed person's hectic schedule, however, two margaritas and four dos XX seems rather reasonable.

I was awoken abruptly by a phone call at 8:03 this morning and found myself unable to drift back to sleep. I also found myself unable to remove myself from the warm and cozy embrace of my comforter. So rather than force myself out of bed and into the bitter cold of the bedroom air, I watched two episodes of 24 and three episodes of Entourage.

The rerun marathon would've continued unabated had it not been for another inopportune phone call at noon inviting me to lunch. After consulting my 'to-do' list for the day (see Exhibit 1,) I agreed to meet for Mexican at Peso's in Queen Anne.

One carne asada burrito, two trips to the bathroom, one refill of chips and salsa, two margaritas, four Dos Equis, three meter-feeding jaunts and four hours of Duck-football-related discourse later, I found myself departing for a happy hour closer to home.

After an order of half-price wings and two Bud Lights, I wandered to the neighborhood theater for a 6:45 showing of Frost/Nixon.

And as I was later enjoying a Jubelale on my couch, I felt uncontrollably compelled to write about my eventful day.


Exhibit 1.

To Do List:
1. Think about how great it would be if you were exercising instead of drinking
2. Don't shower, thereby conserving water
3. Waste an entire day accomplishing nothing that betters yourself or society


...check, check and check.
