Now that NaNo WriMo is over, I expect to be popping in here much more frequently (hopefully motivating my wayward sister in the process). Let me provide my lonesome readers with a brief synopsis of what I've been up to since the last time I popped in here:

1. An Accidental Visit to a Gay Bar - Scott and I were slightly tipsy from the killer margaritas we had at a Mexican restaurant (named "Killer Margaritas", strangely enough), and were lookin' to get our drink on. On the way home, we stumbled into a dark little bar, grabbed some seats, and ordered our beers. Only then did we notice the steamy make-out session that was in progress between the two guys next to us. A friendly bartender (with a rather impressive mustache) and a drag queen named Toya befriended us, checked out Scotty, and did shots with us. They sent us away with a lovely parting gift of about 50 condoms and a vivid mental picture of the proper use of a cock ring.

2. Whirlyball! - A craaazy little sport that combines bumper cars, basketball, jai alai, and best of all, booze. We had four teams rotating in and out for two straight hours of intense Whirlyball madness. Although I had a bit of trouble driving my car forward and not hitting the wall in the first round, I got the hang of it and got drunk enough not to care about crashes in subsequent rounds. I highly recommend the sport.

3. East Coast! - An all-too-brief stint at home, where I stuffed myself on Trudel Thanksgiving goodness, spent some quality time with the fam, saw waaaay too many people from the Tiv (along with some that I'm always glad to see), saw waaaay too few people from HC, and found myself back in Chi-town before I even had time to blink. I'll be back for Christmas, and I'm definitely excited to head out!

Now that I've filled you all in to the gripping details of my fast-paced life in the city, we'll return to business as usual in future entries. In the meantime, leave me some love in the comments section so I know that I'm not just typing to myself...
