Terrapin Tables

Hey all

Yeah, TT was empty for a bit... nice to know that absolutely nothing goes on when I'm away. That, or you've all been too drunk to post, which would be awesome. I've been sober for 48 hours because "The Man" doesn't let people drink just becaue theres a few missles aboard.

So I'm not back yet (I'm posting this from the ship), but I'm bored (lights out was over an hour ago, but us civilians aren't bound by such petty rules, and there's no way I'm going to bed at 10:00), so here's a classic highlights/lowlights so far:

Highlights:
- Buying my tickets at the last minute and getting bumped to first class for one of the segments
- Drinking at 7:00 am... I ordered a Bloody Mary cause it seemed normal... anywho, I found out they give you two vodka mini bottles with them.
- After drinking a bunch of "double" Bloody Marys, they just start giving you double rum and cokes when you ask for them. Sweet.
- The bartender at my "usual" bar knew what I wanted once I walked in.
- Since the sonar equipment is fully operational, my job here is cake. I just wander around and watch people track stuff on sonar (if there's no ships or subs, they'll track whales)

Lowlights:
- The Incredibles was so boring that I watched some of the new Bridget Jones movie instead.
- My first hotel was $310 for the first night. In order to not get yelled at by whoever foots the bill, I've relocated to another hotel ($200)
- I'm sober right now.

Also, related to me getting drunk on the plane... I found out after 10 mini bottles, the flight attendants are required to ask you if you have someone to drive you home. Tell them it's a connecting flight and you can keep drinking.

OK, I'll stop boring you guys. Hopefully everyone is getting smashed, or at least watching a lot of basketball. And it's Chad's birthday tomorrow (today I guess), so make sure to make fun of him for being 27, because that's fucking old.
