Post-Birthday Bliss
This is the last post regarding my birthday, I promise. I tried to find a way to work "post-coital" into "post-birthday", but it just didn't work. Besides, I think I've used the phrase "post-coital" three times already today, and if you're not a sex therapist there's probably a limit on how many times one can use that phrase in a day without getting beaten. At least, there should be.
Before the party, as before most gatherings, I threw together a little iTunes playlist for the night, consisting of over nine hours of music. I thought that was a bit excessive when I tossed it together, but by the time the slumber party portion of the evening began, we'd made a full musical loop. Now, I can't stop listening to it. Not like there's anything new on it; it's all stuff that was already in my library. I'm just really digging it. Likewise, I'm digging the little mix I gave out for party favors.*
And in final party news, apparently I have really good-looking friends. For the past two days I've been inundated with emails peppered with, "Oh, she's so cute!" "Oh my God, he's hot!" Who knew? We're like Studio 5-fricking-4 over here. Apparently I even had some rockin' hair going on by the end of the night. You know, once it was molded into place because I kept spilling apple martini on my hand, then running it through my hair.
I have never felt more like Paris Hilton in my entire life.

We were listening to the mix during brunch, usually we listen to jazz or blues, but it was okay for it. Now, I'll have to figure out which song it was to which Kate starting rocking out. p.s. I figured you'd post a track list eventually--so I was PATIENT (go figure) for once. dj really liked the mix, too.
