Rachel's party was fun. Only one burst ballon and a pack of cigarettes knocked off the balcony. Low carnage for our crowd, but some of our heavy drinking entertainers were not there. Damn it Gene, I would have made you climb down there and find my cigarettes.

Jennifer's boyfriend John makes excellent margaritas. I haven't had a margarita, in oh say eight months. I like them, even though I know the tequila will give me a headache. Doesn't matter how many I drink. It also cracks me up to say Jennifer and John, as those are two of the most ordinary names and these are not ordinary people.

I ate several tasty wontons and only a little candy. I was very good. Making all these changes to my diet to pre-empt the lecture I'll get from the doctors is a little sad. I like my sweets, and I love to bake. I suppose I will have to do less of it or just give it all away. Yesterday we picked up lots of fish, and some salmon chorizo. I don't ask what goes into the chorizo, I just know I like it. But since this was made of salmon, it had much less fat and thus I could have chorizo and egg breakfast tacos yesterday! Yay. Today it's going to be white fish with a mango avocado pico. Mmmm ripe mango.

Tonight all I want to do is have a little candy, watch some absurd movies and maybe write a little.

I never get to sleep in, not ever. If it's not the alarm clock or the cat, something else intervenes. This morning it was my headache from the tequila, then the storm and then the drug dealer screaming at his girlfriend. If you are screaming loud enough to wake me out of an alcohol induced stupor, you are probably too loud. I listened to them for a few minutes, but it seemed like they were only screaming so I didn't call the police. Perhaps I should have anyway.

Last night while we were making our way through the madness of downtown I saw one of the Haunted Austin tour groups. I should do that sometime. They even do a Servant Girl Annihilator tour, our very own special serial killer from 1885. From all I've read, this guy could give Jack the Ripper a good run for his money.
