A good time was had by all

A party was held in honor of Chinese New Year/Presidents Day/My one month anniversary in Oregon.

This is Lupita in a hat. I took pictures even though I was pretty sure that they wouldn't come out.

One guest commented on the contents of my fridge saying that I was cheap and had pedestrian tastes (they may not have said pedestrian specifically). While I was fine with being thought of as cheap (granted, I prefer to think of it as working within a budget)the pedestrian comment rubbed me the wrong way. I really don't see anything wrong with havening milk, eggs, cheese, cheap American beer and half of a turkey in ones fridge. I actually don't think this guest meant to offend me with their analysis's and I'm a little embarrassed that I'm using this as a forum to validate the contents of my refrigerator (obviously not quite embarrassed enough to edit out my comments on the subject).

While we're on the subject I got off-brand ginger ale and it's a little funky but a real bargain at $0.75 for two liters (it's actually the same price for the one liter size). Maybe I've learned something today...

I tryed to make a party play-list with a little something for everyone, but as it turns out people just wanted to listen to John Denver and the Chipmunks Punk album.

The party was a little short on dancing but, my apartments also a little short on space for dancing.

Maggie & David brought pop corn for a festive snack. Later, they helped me get the festive snack out of my carpet.

This is Lupita in a diferent hat.

We all went to the Sugar Pine for some karaoke action.

Mounted on the ceiling is the saddest disco light ever. It's covered in who knows how many years of cigarette smoke and blinks sadly at no particular interval. It looks pretty good in this picture though.

I sang Take Me Home, Country Roads this time by John Denver. I'm not sure what song Gwenyth sang, though I don't think it was the one she had picked.

Singing and dancing abound.

After most of our party had left I sang White Wedding by Billy Idol. The night before I also sang White Wedding with the help of some guy who afterwards shook my hand and told me I was "kryptonyte" (sp).

Again, I don't know the song Gwenyth sang. This time it was the song she had chosen. She has been practicing the same song for a while now so she can compete at a karaoke competition at the Indian casino.

This is the vodka that I got for the party. I chose it for aesthetic reasons and not for the quality of it's contents.
