I'm never drinking again...

Well that's a lie; I lie like a rug. But I should think about it, at least for a day or two. Last night Robi and I go to the Brewery; the ONLY decent bar in Half Moon Bay. There's a lot of dives, and I'm not talking about good dives like the ones I like to go to. I like dives that have a lot of beers on tap and has a bunch of bar games; these dives in Half Moon Bay, you walk in and you feel like shooting yourself; but they do have stiff drinks, which salvages any bar.

Anywho, we go there, and start of with the Double Bock IPA. Which every day after we have those I hate myself; mostly because they're 8.9% alcohol. The bartender said that they're going to stop making it and start an Octoberfest. THANK GOD, I can't go through too many more of these nights. But I LOVE Octoberfest, a month long of acceptable drinking. Octoberfest always reminds me of living with Yagi and Mike, Yagi making beer soaked bratwurst drinking heavily and BBQing.

So we start off with the Double IPA (the duce) and then we have a few more drinks, get a free brownie sundae because Robi knows one of the waitresses, who is a girlfriend of one of his friends; I think her name is Claudia, but I know that's wrong...Damn it I can never remember her name because I'm always drunk when I meet her; I only remember when Robi says her name. She tells Robi that her friend that's the server thinks he's cute. After only one beer, I'm buzzed because I haven't eaten, but not enough that I have my drunk goggles on. I look around and it seems like every girl in there is good looking; I figure its the cabin fever from being in Half Moon Bay and not seeing a lot of girls.

After another round or two, our buddies from High School come in. And it was funny because the last time I saw this guy Justin, I was drunk(shocker I know) and at the Brewery. He was with Kirsten and Laura, who are also from my High School. Justin says he's moved back up here from Vegas for a bit, so now I got another friend in Half Moon Bay so I'm excited. I buy the first round for my High School friends and we sit down at a table. Claudia (I'm sticking to that because I don't know what else to call her (keep reading in later episodes to find out the mystery name)) So Claudia brings over the girl that's into Robi and he's talking to them. She's totally digging him and Justin and I have to turn the other way because Claudia's boobs are A FLOWIN...we couldn't stop staring, which is hard because being a guy you're programmed to stare. I still don't get it, Robi gets girls thrown in his lap; literally this chick was leaning all over showin him cleavage. That NEVER happens to me, the girls being thrown at me, not the cleavage part. I've seen a fair amount of cleav in my day, but it usually ends up with a slap or "My eyes are up here Dustin!" Anyways I think Robi didn't even get a phone number because he always blows it. Not really blows it but just is oblivious to the fact that he COULD get a number AND a bed buddy. Eventually the girls get over waiting for him to do something and they just leave. Its happened numerous times when I've talk to girls and they're like, "Yea I used to like Robi but he just didn't get the hint." And I'm not talking about ugly or skanky girls, girls you'd bring home and meet the parents; like Doctors and Strippers. Its not like its happened just once, BUT ALL THE TIME. I need to set Robi up with an ear piece and just coach him through, fuck if that happened to me...

Anyways back to MY story, Justin then buys the next round of drinks before last call. Then we're the only people in there and they start flashing the lights at us, it wasn't even 10:30. So then we finish our drinks and I do the only sensible thing, invite everybody back to my place.

By this time Kirsten left and she was replaced by Julia. Robi blew it by not asking the other girls back with us because the more girls in the hot tub the better. I get all five of us drinks. Laura wanted something to eat which isn't a bad idea since I had a few chips at the Brewery for Dinner. I made french fries; which while taking them out of the oven, I burned my arm. But it is all worth it because we got the girls in the spa...always clutch, better than being in a hot tub with a bunch of dudes. Could have been more but fuck Robi can't seal the deal; shit that fool doesn't even bring out the contract.

So now that brings me to here to today. Woke up kinda drunk, hangover just starting to kick in. Now sitting at my desk not wanting to do work and still can't believe that its only been an hour, feels like its been five hours; and the aspirin hasn't taken the headache away. As Andrea says, "I always figured that as long as I'm busy I wouldn't be bored at work." Not true, we've discussed this. Now my body is more sore than it was yesterday after running a day before that. I went in a hot tub isn't that supposed to relax your muscles? Fuck, its going to be a long day.

The ultimate drinking machine that I have built while I was in college is slowly breaking down.
