Sliding Doors

Today, I was walking out of my apartment and the door had closed behind me and I actually turned around, reopened it, and walked back in to get my umbrella even though it wasn't raining out. It was the opposite of the Harold and Kumar Moment when Roldy realizes he left his cell phone at his apartment but was already 4 steps away from the door and says no, "we've gone too far".

Anyway, it wasn't raining, I was kinda pissed, and then I got downtown to the giant hole in the ground by where I work and it was absolutely pouring. I'm wearing a suit for Nobu tonight, and had I not had an umbrella there is a greater than 125% chance I'd have killed myself today.

For better or worse, that quick decision to turn around and grab an umbrella (thin slicing for you Gladwell fans out there) ironically led to my continued misery in living life, though kept me happy and unwet (my people are like mogwais) for the morning.

I would like to propose a new daily feature to the rounge in which someone discusses their "Sliding Doors" moment, in which something seemingly inoccuous changed the course of their day/life/ability to get so drnk. Today, because I haven't yet jumped from a building, I will enjoy at least 5 manhattans tonight and a margarita and a few beers.

Tomorrow, I will be back to a normalized KM ratio of 98:2. SMIF.

PANDA WEEKEND...TIME TO GET LIT!!

Wishing the Rounge a happy and so drnk weekend...Lets discuss Happy Hour (to be followed up with official weekend rounge drink: bloody mary's (or oscars) tomorrow AM.

I will start off with a beer, immediately followed by a whiskey...immediately followed by 25 more whiskey's. KM Ratio ticking down to mid 80's!!

Internal Struggle

Does Mad Men provide me enough entertainment to outweigh how much it makes me want to KM? Consider this past week's episode.

Don basically goes to work late, closes a huge deal because he made a guy a good Old Fashioned, drinks whiskey all day, yells at a b*tch to shut the h*ll up, will probably eventually sleep with his daughter's hot school teacher, yells at his wife, gets f*cked up on some pills as any good Rounger does and that's about it.

Whose fictional TV life is better? Debate away. My candidates, off the top of my abnormally mollusk-like head:

- Eric from Entourage Season 2 - basically had no job, started sleeping with Sloan, got a free Maserati, made 500k for reading the Aquaman script.

- Aforementioned Don Draper

- Uncle Jesse from Full House - Aunt Becky, yes please. Plus a rocker's life. Probably doesn't pay rent.

WTFIEDTW?

I think we should have an Indian food/so drnk routting some time this week...Wed or Thurs? fk it, even Friday? In the spirit of Red Pandas, the rounge should Jai Hind it up.

Changa just got back from Cancun...pandamonium??

Semi-Routting?

I'm thinking we have a rounge dinner and/or routting. We eitehr start off with Indian (TG and Queso order) then get so drnk or we just hit up the Frying Pan and eat/drink there. Thoughts? Which day works for who?

slooooooooow weeeeeek

How in the world is it only 1:25 on Wednesday? It's usually 4:15 on Thursday by now.

SQUAWWWK!!

I'd like to address this picutre to the longest 15 handle I've ever experienced...until tomorrow.

Adieu, fleeting 15 handle. GFKY.
