This month I turn 30. To mark such a remarkable event, I’m spending every day of October drenched in awesome-sauce.
It’s my sister’s birthday on Tuesday, and it was my birthday on Wednesday. Every year our birthdays are six days apart. This causes a single celebration of our birthdays. We ate. Mmm. Shira made cupcakes, they were good.
Then I went home, and changed. I put on a shirt, a sweater vest, a bow tie, and my Scrabble cuff links (thanks Emily), I also wore pants.
I went across the street, and met up with Nat, and we headed to aL’s place. Nat was wearing an excellent scrabble board costume, which had the problem/wonderfulness that everyone had to touch her boobs to play. She seemed to enjoy it. I enjoyed wearing matching cuff links. aL had an amazing costume. It was simply a shirt that said “I <3 Bob” and a name tag that said “Alexandra.” She was a Price is Right contestant!!! Allegra was there, and she was dressed as Jem, again, BORING. Ruhee was there, and dressed as a TTC employee, with an official TTC tie. I played her my TTC door chime ringtone. Dom was there, as an Irish guy, I didn’t inquire further.
The best part was hanging out in the kitchen when the door open and in walks this guy wearing a familiar jacket with elbow patches… perched on his head is a fez. I yell out “fezzes are cool.” He spins around, and replies “Yes they are,” notices my bow tie, and says “and so are bow ties.”
My night was complete.

Bow ties are certainly cool. Nice style.
