Day 201/365 (March 7, 2009)

Our dinner at The Westway Diner... Our Waiter Sucked so Sasha took it...

...So here is Sasha

The day was beyond totally brilliant and amazing! It began by going to the grocery store and getting the final ingredients for cooking baking, then i came home and made 60 oatmeal raisin cookies! I decided to take a shower even though i really dint ned to, but it ended up being a good thing i did later on! The weather was absolutely amazing out by the way.

To most people the thought of my plans for the day would be so wrong since this was the first "perfect" day since last spring but it was much need and more fun than anything else we could have done that day! The day was DISNEYPALOOZA!!!! Sasha, Krysta, Marty, Jenny, Nick, and me spent the entire day watching disney movies!

We watched The Lion King, Meet The Robinsons, Sleeping Beauty, and The Little Mermaid... 101 Dalmations will have to happen at the next one! At one point i was on the phone with MArk when someone accidentally spilled gingerale on our movies and then we all started screaming for paper towels and someone to turn on the light and we scared poor mark off the phone... i called im back the next day. We also spent the entire time eating nothing but a mix of: oatmeal craisin cookies, red vines, jelly belly jelly beans, carrots, peanut butter M&M's (not me though), Hot Tamales (not me though), lollipops, gummy bears, and i feel like something else. basically we all ate a crazy intense amount of sugar! Krysta was speaking in code about dead guy festivals and coffin races, marty and nick pretended to be disney anime characters, we took turns sitting in different places, and laughed at the jokes in the movies that were meant for only big people to get... the we decided we needed to go get real food and not die of sugar coma.

We headed to the westway diner and on the way nick kept singing "hamster on a piano" and even sung it into chipotle and ran out on the way. Our waiter was a major loser for being so weird and telling us we weren't funny. we were dying of laughter the whole time over various things, and waiter guy kept sneaking up on sasha. Eventually we headed back to the apartment and we were making a riotous amount of laughter and dying from it on the street. At one point Nick accidentally stepped on my flip-flop causing it to come off my foot and i rocked in the hopping and not stepping barefoot on skanky new york street. sasha helped me by letting me lea on her for balance as nick played soccer with my flop and we all laughed... this lady though was all "you sure have great friends" and we were all "why cant you take a joke?" then we crossed paths with ryan and jesse... oops i really am one of those crazy loud street people! but hey lots of sugar and disneypalooza in full effect!

Then we got inside and started watching some youtube videos... some were funny others were not, but one of them was hamster on a piano. while doing this i got a phone call from Emily asking if the band was doing a secret show at Rockwood and i was like i don't know, hold on. So i texted and found out they were! So we rallied the troops (ok just megan since hope was home, and laura far away, and the others were already there) and went to rockwood. This was at like 11 at night and i so was not dressed to really be in public but oh well! 

They said their names were Sven, Sven, and Gretchen t one point and well it was just really awesome to see them since it had been like two months since the last gig we saw, and that is the longest i have gone between shows since i first saw them literally two years ago! It ended up being almost all the regulars at our one table despite the big old crowd when we got there. We chatted with them and each other before heading out... i got home and chatted with Krysta and finally went to bed (thanks daylight savings!) at like 5 and got no sleep since i had to get up so early the next morning... but the day was so much and the day was filled with moments and stories i am sure i will be talking about for years to come!
