The Hotel Bar Hangover Whiskey's Gone Dry

A few bits & bobs because I am feeling braindead and babbly today:

Yesterday I wrote about Goldie Cook's secret mission without really understanding what it's all about. Consider me enlightened:

"Last week it was confirmed that I was into the final stage of a Cadburys competition. I am now competing with 9 other Cadbury Cream Egg Twisted Super Agents to hunt down the Goo on the Loose! Goldie Cook is my Super Secret Agent name and my mission is to track down ‘the GOO’ that is on the loose. I have to follow the clues to where the Goo is going to attack next by trekking up and down the country to secret locations. I have to document my progress by Twitter, YouTube videos and gain as much support publicity as possible."

So again, if you would like to support Goldie, you can:

friend her on Facebook

join her Facebook group

follow her on Twitter

watch her YouTube videos

I really do appreciate everyone who has supported my (completely bonkers) friend. She is a gem and really deserves to win!

The Hangover really is as good as everyone is saying it is. I highly recommend you go see it (unless you're easily offended by crude humour, in which case you should probably not go see it.)

I was emailing back and forth with Ben on Saturday (during the engagement party) about an idea he had. It was a very good idea but my brain was a bit fuzzy from the wine. I ended up answering back with this little gem:

'Am druink. Will be coherent at some point tommorrow. Loves!'

which I was unaware of until Ben sent it back to me on Monday. Thanks for the laugh, Ben! Also, thanks for outing me as someone who cannot spell tomorrow without spellcheck (though I guess I'm sort of outing myself.) Anyway, the lesson is: when you're drinking and you get to the point where temporary tattoos sound like a good idea, put the Blackberry away. I've had my Blackberry for less than a month; it was a rookie mistake. One I (hopefully) won't make again.

I'm sick again! And at work, spreading my germs around. I hate it when people come to work sick but at the same time, I know that my coworkers and I have no choice. There are certain times when we cannot call in sick and today is one of those times. And so I will sit at my desk and slowly die. And whine about it on the Internet.

* * * * *

That's it. That's all I've got. Only ... 8 more hours until I can go home and die in bed.

  2. Feel better. I have a similar count down going on here in the Burgh... four hours! Full disclosure: I have to come to work ON TIME now that I ride in with Andrew. I am totally not used to this early bird crap, and honestly probably will never be used to it. Oh how nice it would be to be a morning person. Zzzzzzz.

  3. "I tend to think of myself as a one man wolf pack."

    CLASSIC. I lovelovelove The Hangover.

    Hope you feel better soon. I'm sure a good dose of puppy cuddles will make things a bit better.

  6. I don't tend to get things wrong when i'm drunk texting/emailing spelling-wise. However, on Sunday morning I was re-reading some dirty texts sent while out drunk the night before and realised I had told the guy that I wanted to be inside HIM! which wasn't actually what I had meant . . . it was meant to be the other way around. luckily since he was drunk too I don't think he noticed...

  9. I love temporary tattoos! I think they're always a good idea. And the druink texting is probably never a good idea but so amusing for others that I think it should continue. Also, I liked your Monday post (and I love the Lionel Richie song title) - I just was having too terrible a day to do any commenting.

  12. Had you not explicitly mentioned your drunkness, I probably would have just assumed the tricky BB buttons screwed you up as they so often do to me.

    BUT NO DICE!

  13. I was at a bachelorette party recently where temporary tattoos sounded like a good idea after only one drink. Temporary tattoos on our boobs no less.
