then after a relaxing afternoon, we went to the bacchus parade.
again there were crowds,
kids on ladders,
floats,
and plenty of beads.
one time during the evening, a guy pushed through the crowd to get over to me and put his hand out for me to shake as he stepped in front of me. slightly bewildered, i instinctively kept my hands in my pockets and said 'um, i don't know you, sir.' i was confused; it sounded like he was calling me "zeus." with an "oh, ok"-type of gesture, he disappeared back into the crowd yelling "jesus!" ("hay-SOOS"). hmm, i guess since i have a beard, i must remind intoxicated people of jesus. : )
that guy returned once more right before we left the parade. i supposed it was to honor "jesus" by putting some beads over my head and then walking away again. uh, thanks? : )
weighed down with our collection of beads, we then went to an ihop just for the fun of it. nothin' like a late-night breakfast for dinner with a group of friends at ihop. i got the cheesecake pancakes and asked for extra whip. it was about what i expected - mediocre in delightfulness yet quite interesting in concept and fun none-the-less.
then back at the house, we had an impromptu work-on-your-laptop time with the olympics on the tv in the background. that actually works out to be a nice method of transitioning out of socializing and into sleeping.
