Happy Birthday Arul!!

it was always gonna be one of those days.. well, when you wake up at 2 and someone offers you a bottle of Yuengling Black & Tan (for the uninitiated, that's a lighter dark beer - i know that sounds oxymoronic, but you have to know your beer to understand that statement!).. then you have a fair idea of what's coming.

for arul's birthday we decided to make mutton, and mal was baking the cake. meanwhile we were making serious inroads into the two bottles of Johnny Walker and Robert Mondavi's Cabernet Sauvignon. we'd passed by 87M to have a couple of shots too. i love cooking, and i love cooking even more so when i'm stoned!! :-))

just before midnight nirav took arul out on a wild goose chase while we decked up the place.. then surprised him when he came back in!! it definitely did look like we got him by surprise too!! after which point then we partied, and drank, and then some more, and more.. arul had some three shots of scotch and promptly became much more loquacious.. before eventually passing out ;-))!! jason, vip and i were still fired up then, and jase was regaling us with stories from his military reserve days in afghanistan and the training period too. finally at 5 we decided to call it a night.. Happy Birthday arul dude!
