One bottle of Cognac, two bottles of triple sec, half a bottle of Grey Goose, a third of a bottle of Tanqueray Gin, a bottle of cranberry juice, a bag of lemons, a bag of limes, a rapidly cooling Numero Uno pizza, a birthday cake, three packs of cigarettes, 5 hours of New Wave hits, a bevy of dancers, and a two-girl massage. Now that’s a party.

Just as I was about to leave for work, I heard a weird sound coming from outside. It was water falling from the sky! Woah. With the heat and yesterday’s humidity I guess it’s not that surprising to see some rain, but it’s still a pretty rare thing to happen in September. I hope it comes down really hard and cools things off a bit. Lord knows we need a break.

We’ll find out in a few weeks how this works out, but right now I’ve got a packed schedule. Classes from 2PM – 9:30PM on Tuesdays and 10AM – 5:30PM on Wednesdays. Work on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Either Monday or Wednesday evenings will be devoted to the weekly game, and Thursday evenings will be devoted to the weekly happy hour. Yikes. I’ll have to cancel that Netflix subscription when this month is up. This also leaves less time for poker, which is probably a good thing; afternoon poker sessions have a tendency to be -EV for me.

Head on over to eight23 with your well wishes. It’s 8/23.

In a few minutes I’ll be take the final exam for Finance of Real Estate Development. According to my calculations, I just need to get a 65% or better to get an A- in the class. I think I can handle that. Wish me luck.
