Martini Night!

In grand tradition, Wednesday was a night of greatness. I hosted a long overdue "martini night." They used to be called "Office Parties" - not because friends from the office joined, but because we watched "The Office." And, eventually, my famous (or is it infamous? ...the morning after) Lemon Drop Martini recipe became the real reason for the group getting together. Thus, "martini night."

Since The Office, like most other shows, isn't being filmed due to the writer strikes in Hollywood, I proposed to watch the old episodes. We started with Season 1 last night, and got through 4 episodes. It was outstanding... like a farmer in his field. ;-)

Then came time for Guitar Hero. Below are a few pictures of the last standing souls before the evening's end.

Star Power!! I'm not sure if I was early or late on this one...

Here's Pete and Dill choosing their instruments of destruction. Um, the beer bottles... yeah... um, that's after "cleaning up the table."

Experimental photography. Pete and Dill are ripping up some GNR.

Moving on, tonight, coworker friend Jeff hosted movie night at his place. He recently "finished" his home theater, a project that's been couple years in the making. Looks great... even has stadium seating - I approve :-) We started off the evening with Shoot 'Em Up. LOL. Holy gunfire, Batman. The title is entirely appropriate... in a more humerous and ridiculous way, rather than vile and oppressive. It was actually quite entertaining. Although, it made its successor, Live Free or Die Hard, seem like Sleepless In Seattle. That's quite an accomplishment.

That said, it's a late night. Crap. I have to pack. I'm going on a men's retreat this weekend in Lake Geneva through Christina's brother's church. I'm really looking forward to it. Cannot wait for what God has in store for us... sooo stinkin' excited! :-)

Off to pack!
