Entry for January 17, 2007
What does 'getting too old for this' really mean? After my body clock waking me up at 6:30am on the couch, I got my act together and proceeded to a. make it on time to work b. still get in a good workout c. avoid any traces of a headache or hangover. I've been warned that as I get older my unusual ability to avoid the awful effects of a late night of boozing will diminish. I put that theory to the test last night, as a club called Cinescope in Hollywood had free Absolut vodka drinks until 11! Ed and I made our way there, met up with broken nose, danced and drank and generally stumbled around. Then I ate pizza. Then it was home and asleep by 1am. 'Falling Asleep' is a relative term.... The point of this being that I felt guilty when I awoke- I hadn't made my lunch, I didn't have my things packed up for the day, I didn't clean my room the night before, there were dishes in the sink (gasp!), I HAD BROKEN MY CAREFULLY DEVELOPED ROUTINE!!!! After I sweat it out on the elliptical and got ready for the day and feel quite cute and put together I had a mini-epiphany: I can deviate once in awhile to keep those fun centers up and operational. I can't just keep myself locked up in the 'tower' (aka my apartment) every night... it's possible to go out for a fun evening, stay up somewhat late and STILL make it all happen. I just need to remember to regulate, free drinks doesn't mean consume at an all out racehorse pace. There are benefits to moderation. Ah, fuck moderation once in awhile! muahaahaaa.
