Happy Hour at Chez Animal Hair Can I get you a drink?

[A little Christmas cheer for ya]

Posted under celebrity news/gossip, party

We went out on Saturday night. We first went to Chino because we haven’t been there in ages. Many of our favorite bartenders were there: Emilia, Paddy (who has a new baby boy now), Sully, Graham, Jamie…it was really cool to see them all again. Better yet, that they recognized us.

Paddy asked if we were slumming it. Riiiight. Chino is one of the nicest bars around. And I’ve got to say they make some stroooong drinks. Sheesh. I could have gotten drunk off the vapors hovering over my glass. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

As you may know we often go to Aura. There is another regular we run into almost every time we’re there. It’s become a joke that if we go, how long will we sit there before Doug comes in. It’s usually not more than an hour.

So we’re sitting at Chino (not Aura) and who walks in? Yep. Doug. We laughed and made some jokes about cheating on Aura. But we must have felt bad, even though it was a joke, because we went to Aura after Chino. It was a fun night. The morning? Not so fun. But I’ve had much worse.

Oh so after we get home I see that someone called my cell phone but I missed it. I went to check the voicemail and it was from an “unknown� number. Which is really weird because my cell phone at least always gives the number of the person who calls. I’ve never seen it come up ‘unknown’.

The message said, “Hi Amy lobster…this is the sushi place…WE HAVE YOUR FAMILYâ€?. Which is funny, right? Except, that I was hammered and didn’t really catch the lobster/sushi thing so I got a little nervous. So what did I do? Yep, I actually drunk dialed my parents to make sure they were not being held hostage!! They got a huge kick out of that. I think in the back of my mind, I knew it must be a joke, but the seriousness of the voice and the fact that someone was able to call me and have it show up ‘unknown’ was alarming to a drunk girl.

Damn Chino and their strong drinks. Though now that I think about it, that voice did sound a bit like Paddy…but I don’t know how he’d have gotten my number. It also sounded like Scott (bartender at Aura) but this person also sounded hammered (you know, when I listened again in the sober –or at least hungover– light of day) but those guys were both working so I doubt they were hammered.

It may remain a mystery.

I am feeling quite frustrated. I have NO work to do at work. I finished everything I need to get done this week on Wednesday afternoon. So here I sit.

I’ve already written some reviews, posted a whole bunch of them, read all my celebrity gossip, I even went shopping for ingredients for Christmas presents. (I spent waaaay too much at the fabric store)

So I thought I’d sit back and play around on MySpace. I get there and oooh I have a message! But when I click on it, it says I have to sign in. I thought perhaps someone had gotten my password and was messing with my account. So I changed my password.

That didn’t change anything. Then I thought I’d try using one of my other MySpace accounts and they all do the same thing. You can sign in, but whenever you click on anything it tells you to log in. But then when you log in, nothing happens you keep getting shot back to the log in page. Piece of shit. I don’t see how a website like that can break. Aren’t people on this like 24/7?

Ugh, I guess I’ll go read more about Brit. I’m holding Rupert Murdoch accountable for this.

Also, I have 2 purses, 4 scarves and a ton of candy to make. It drives me nuts to be sitting here doing nothing when I have $75 worth of yarn in my car.

Sunny and Brandon came over last friday and brought their two new puppers! Coco is the dark one, but I think they’re going to change his name. Tyson is a spaz. They’re adorable and sweet.

That’s Brandon reigning them in.
