A freaky and funny Friday

Do you ever get the feeling that the universe has pinned a KICK ME sign to your back? Last night marked the end of a very long week at work and I was very tired, but still committed to hitting the town. What follows is a very brief attempt to summarise the highs and lows of my night out. See if you can identify the low points...

ENO at the Intercontinental Hotel

  • Met and flirted with an award-winning South Aussie winemaker
  • Honestly enjoyed the Aussie wines, paired with the Hotel's delicious cheeses.
  • Didn't try the prize-winning Santa Barbara Shiraz.
  • Got to see Rak in a snazzy suit.
  • Flooded the toilet.
  • Scored the winemaker's phone number.

Gibson's Steak House on Rush & Division
  • Gate-crashed a table at the crowded restaurant
  • Shared the table with a bunch of Chicago business-owners.
  • Split a delicious plate of whitefish & veggies with Jennifer.
  • Had two cosmpolitans.
  • Got asked how it feels to play second fiddle to Jennifer.
  • Did not seize the opportunity to headbutt the guy that asked me that question.
  • Had the guys pay for dinner and drinks.

Tavern on Rush (Viagra Triangle)

  • Met up with Biggsy and RM.
  • Needed a Jack & Coke.
  • Paid a fortune for that Jack & Coke.
  • Got a free head massage by a guy in the crowd.
  • Realised the head massage was a grope in disguise.
  • Wanted another Jack & Coke but thought better of it.
All of this and I was STILL home before 11.30pm. Jenn and I are simply machines, don't you think?

You do that ONE TIME and no one ever forgets it :(

Seriously though - it was one of those situations where I thought...should I even use this toilet? Something is a little wrong. But I promise you, the only thing that went all over the floor was water. Over the floor, under the door, into the hallway...you get the idea. It was mortifying.
