24 hours Bday


Hey Tim

I did left a quick "Massage" on early 23rd when I came back from Bairro alto where I was with some friends on the 22nd but as soon as the clock hit midnight they all started singing Happy Birthday out loud in this place Joana described as a "dodgy lesbian bar" lol Even Zak was haunted by the idea that ordering a "cosmopolitan" would sound "too gay". Nevertheless, I have to admit I really enjoyed that dodgy bar, Its been a million years since I had people singing “happy bday" to me (I think the last time was on my 19th birthday!)

I have a feeling I already told you this story so, I'll restrain myself from going any further with the details of my birthday er day... I did told you about Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, pasteis de belém, CCB and meeting Guida for drinks, right?!

I gotta tell you about my duh bday present. What are people thinking?! Even though I keep ranting about how offering cd cheque is the best sure thing. Still...this Christmas I got (man...are you gonna laugh) my very own Steven SEGAL dvd (?!?)

HELLO?!?!!!! since when I started appreciating Steven Segal?!? I have a feeling this was one of those newspaper dvd collections things that didn't cost anything but...for crying out loud.... steven segal?!?!?!! I don't own any original dvd and the 1st one, offered to me was.... a steven segal film so crappy it hurts. Then again, I really can't point a good steven segal movie...

I spent 2 days working on customized Christmas cards and was a bit disappointed to find out I didn't get a single one in return. Well, I did get a postcard from the pet food company. HOORAY! Come to think of it, not even YOU!! got me a Christmas card. No space in the fridge FOR YOU!!! I put the pet food company card instead. (AH!)

This year i didn't give the 2-week notice tip about my bday just to see what happened and, boy oh boy so many forgetful minds. Well, glad to know my dad remembered this year. I asked Maggie to join Guida and me for drinks at the end of the day and her response was "bad day, busy with xmas shooping". Maggie busted!!!! She called me on Christmas day apologizing but you gotta laugh after knowing she actually got me a Christmas present not remembering it was my bday when she was getting it!

I haven't heard the Pearl Jam cds yet but I’m so glad it has “Man of the Hour” and “Crazy Mary” in there. I have to confess I open the bday present on the 22nd cause I was really depressed that day. I remember Zak asking me if I was ok when I met them for dinner. Kidda freaky how strangers guess your emotional state… But, I really had fun that night! Jeez...its been so long since I've actually had fun I kidda forget how it feels. Like I said...I probably have agoraphobia.

This yeard resolution is to FUCKING go to some concerts and have fun!

Glad to hear everything in the xmas package was intact and eatable
Funny, I would never pictured you with a guitar.

Christmas teeth
