Party afterglow

We had a pretty good party today, with nearly 30 people who came and went at various points. The problem with such parties? It seems like you don't really get a lot of quality time talking to anyone.

But still, it was fun, and the 12 litres of mai-tai were mostly gone. I've learned over the years that if I'm gonna make a big ass drink with good liquor, don't make too much. It seems that 12 is the magic number.

I'm a little more drunk than I'd like to be right now, and Diana has gone to bed. Between the mid-afternoon nap (I slept horribly last night) and my general tendency lately to sleep in, I'm just not ready to sleep. That sucks because sleeping is the thing I'd like most.

The reason for the party was our engagement, and we had a pretty seriously strange mix of people here. Unfortunately, I didn't make it clear enough that this was a no-gift kind of party, and we got a shit load of wine and boxed gifts from my cousin. I feel kind of bad about that. Our goal was just to get people we care about together. Regardless, we're thankful for the forthcoming wine experiences!

Sometimes in these cases, you hate that certain people can't be there, whether it be for the distance or excusable neuroses or simple conflicts. Even with the Internet, sometimes it's hard to maintain relationships with friends, and that kinda sucks.

Still, love the afterglow from a good night.

Congratulations, again. It looks like it was a really fun party and I'm glad you had such perfect weather for it.

I'd LOVE to get my hands on your pinball machines!

One of these years...
