Birthday Shenanigans

But speaking of the TV show, Chuck, there is a character Jeff who is, for all intents and purposes, repulsive. He's intoxicated in one of the episodes and wakes up on Chuck's couch. Chuck's sister walks in the room and, hungover (or still a little intoxicated) he hands her a card while saying, "I'm supposed to give this to you." She reads the card aloud, "My name is Jeff and I am lost." Katie and I almost peed ourselves laughing. Maybe you had to be there?


Anyway, for my birthday Katie thought it would be a good idea to get 250 cards made that say, "My name is Gretchen. I am lost." Complete with my address on the back. I think I'll keep one in my back pocket at all times. For hilarity sake.


In case you're wondering, I had a great birthday. My roommates and I all have similar birthdays, so we pooled our friends and invited 400+ people over to our little craftsman house. I ended up being the sober jerk at 5:30a kicking people out (in cabs, at least). We decorated our house very sweetly (see the poor quality iphone camera image below--don't mind the hole in the fence from the neighbor backing into it). On my actual birthday night, Mariss, Katie, Tyler and I got dinner at Fatty's in Eagle Rock. Great food, weird service. You HAVE to have reservations to have a decent experience, but the food is worth it.
