Couch-crew awaiting our delivered Thai feast! ...TREAT TIME! Later that night we went out to visit Gurj and Jared and had a feast! Missed the exciting conclusion. Thanks!

Later that evening, Hank came over and he and Meredith geeked out on the couch next to each other playing Words With Friends. Meredith's placid shakeface. We'll touch each other's faces. Solid showing for 2am. It was like a Tarts of Pleasure reunion. Not one, but TWO king cakes! Happy birthday, you two! A little after midnight, Amanda came over and Mer got dressed up for the party (holy moly!). Got to hold Matt's new puppy on the way home! Second cake in public of the day. More gift-opening! Walking back to our apartment; arms laden with presents. (PS - Babes!) Happy birthday, Meredith! Make a wish! Box o' birthday cupcakes! ...it was time for some presents! Ellen arrived around three...

On Sunday afternoon after taking care of the dingo... ...uh, WHOA. Needless to say, this is a very intense and interesting movie. More-so, if you're familiar with The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying or any of the ontological Buddhist beliefs about the six bardos of existence . Around 11pm we decided to settle in and watch Enter the Void . There's a really disturbing scene in the movie where one of the characters gets shot by accident, made more disturbing by the fact that Meredith was wearing the exact same outfit as the dead guy in the movie. Haha. Later that night we went over to Matt's apt. Meredith getting ready to make mango guacamole! Hound appreciation, morning edition. January Sunday morning.
