It’s just another Wednesday… You know how we do it!

Thursday, June 29th, 2006

Today just called for a Happy Hour. With great intentions of ending starting at Sushi Rock, waiting for friends, I drop in at Liquid — and stayed. I guess I get off work earlier than most. Stuck around there for a few — meeting up for a drink with someone I forgot I met on [...]

So you wanna date Mel?

Tuesday, June 27th, 2006

Here are some fabulous suggestions for dates in the Cleveland area (much better than “I’ll-meet-ya-for-drinks-at-XYZ-in-Lakewood”):
1. Cleveland Rock Gym
2. Twilight at the Zoo (August)
3. Natural History Museum Observatory
4. Lunch outdoors at the Botanical Gardens
5. Geocaching in the Cleveland Metroparks
6. Teach me to Salsa — or learn with me. Maybe we’ll move up to Tango.
7. Pretend to [...]

And I never even got to use it…

Tuesday, June 27th, 2006

Is it not sad and completely ridiculous that I will not date someone because they have the same coffee table as my ex?
Just me then…

To Philly Steak:

Tuesday, June 27th, 2006

Beyonce, Soul Train, and The One and Only Peter Griffin,
I don’t know why, but I love you. I mean, I know why, maybe I don’t know how, but wasn’t completely ready to embrace it. We’ve dated on some different silly long distance email/text-messaging/drunken-Saturday-night-dialing level. We’ve got to know each other in an experience neither one [...]

Welcome to the Club… uh, where is it?

Monday, June 26th, 2006

THIS is what pisses me off about Cleveland. Thanks, Cleveland.com for your continued success in updating something as mindless as a club guide for the Warehouse District.
Let’s see…
Cabaret Dada - Closed.
Cloud 9 - Infrequently unopened.
Club Atlantis - Uh, Closed.
Eve - EVE? Hasn’t that been closed for like 5 freakin’ years? And been 4 clubs [...]

Wasn’t Sinergy the computer on Jem?

Sunday, June 25th, 2006

I’m not feeling especially snarky this morning, so please excuse my post dripping with hungover bar drool…
Saturday was that beautiful day that made Cleveland completely liveable… until you’re on the lake and realize how skanky fish-like the water is. The early afternoon hours were spent sunbathing at Lakewood Park. Those crazy kids made a lovely [...]

Why is my alarm going off at 6am on a Saturday? Gawd!

Thursday, June 22nd, 2006

I wake up Wednesday (not at home) and turn off the alarm on my phone. Upon hearing 40-so minutes of garbage trucks and beer bottles, I realize it’s 9am and I’m late. Really late considering I have to drive all the way home, dress appropriately, then drive another 30 east to the office.
Made it [...]

Effing Tribe

Tuesday, June 20th, 2006

Monday Night Baseball date with #1. Started with dinner at the Terrace Club and he scored some awesome seats that were soooo rudely interrupted by storm clouds and oh yeah, the Indians sucking a big one.
Always a pleasant Jacobs Field experience when more cheers are yelled for the opposing team and the drunkards (myself [...]

“I’m about to make out with a cowboy. I’ll call you back!”

Sunday, June 18th, 2006

C-bus, baby! Such a perfect sunny weekend to wine/dine/shop in such a vibrant and eclectic city. Shortly after arrival, spent Saturday afternoon doing above-mentioned activities in the Short North. Fueled the sweaty walk-a-thon with lunch at Zetas. Mmmm… gyros. Pulled myself off my wealthy-wishing cloud before I potentially could have bargained with the devil for [...]

I have no idea who that chick was…

Friday, June 16th, 2006

Pay no mind to that drunken somber chick down there in the last post. Good thing she wasn’t in bed with me when I woke up. Hate when that shit happens. Like, “Get the fuck out!”
Ladies night was the obvious cause of drunken shenanigans on a Thursday night starting and ending with the familiar [...]

“Use your inside voices, please. The pianoman has started!”

Thursday, June 15th, 2006

Date night at the Velvet Tango Room, whereby my friend enjoyed tinkering with her drink to the tune of too much olive juice on her date with #2. (Sorry, Tatiana!) The single gentleman to my date’s right got a kick out of her antics. You’re welcome for the laughs.
I started with the Maker’s Mark [...]

Is anyone else winded?

Tuesday, June 13th, 2006

Half-assed Weekend Wrap-Up. So… I met this guy that we’ll have to call No.1, and not in like some perverse bathroom joke kind-of-way, but because my party buddy and I met two guys with the same name and he-and-I talked first, so he’s No.1, kind-of-way, anyways… met him the day that Cinci boy decided to [...]

I can see clearly now, the boy is gone.

Saturday, June 10th, 2006

I took Thursday off as result of coming down with some strange fever/cold/scratchy throat thing… but nothing says “I’m cured!” like the start of the weekend. Friday was the grand opening/VIP/Media party at View for the Skybar Rooftop unveil. Great view, albeit a chilly summer night to enjoy drunks drinks on the roof. The Bacardi [...]

Serenity now. Insanity Later.

Tuesday, June 6th, 2006

The last few days have been a bit surreal. Some really wierd random shit has happened since Saturday. I waited around for some sort of contact throughout the day for my guy to arrive in Cleveland somewhere around ten threw in the towel and went out. I played designated driver during daylight hours, but made [...]

I found you Miss New Booty!

Saturday, June 3rd, 2006

Struggles of planning a day after being out too past bedtime and awakening ante meridian. Nowhere near the 2 o’clock afternoon-ish I had in mind when I crashed out in my bed after licking my plate clean at My Friends in Lakewood. Seriously. Blech! Oh yeah, Mel… you just HAD to have bleu cheese for [...]
