Easter Weekend

This easter weekend was fairly uneventful compared to easter's past but all in all a good time. Friday I went to see Grindhouse which is an excellent film. I particularly liked liked the second installment DeathProof, the first one had it's moments for sure but I was more sucked into the world in Deathproof, I guess because it almost seemed as if it could really happen or something. Yesterday we had a family Easter dinner which was fairly uneventful besides the fact that my brother and cousin when they got sent to the store to buy some stuff that my aunt forgot came back with a bottle of Sailor Jerry's 92 proof spiced Navy rum, which they hid in my brother's room and kept using to spike their cokes all day. I myself stuck to a mojito and some wine my grandma brought over. Needless to say my brother came home from work and had to take a nap today..as is the case I'm sure with my cousin. I have to say that my favorite Easter is one that went totally awry. A few years ago when I was living in San Francisco, Joey, my brother and I decided to have an Easter Dinner Party at our house. Each of us were supposed to invite someone, at the time I was dating this stockbroker type guy and he hadn't met any of my friends yet and what not so I decided to invite him. Needless to say we all got into some wine before the dinner so by the time the guests started arriving I think we were all a little tipsy. Let me just begin to list some of the many things that went wrong.
1) Joey asked my date how much money he made, like 10 mintues after he got there, and when he said something non-commital like, oh enough, Joey persisted, starting naming ranges, etc. until he got an answer.
2) As we sat down to dinner my brother's friend Eddie got there and he was wearing a huge easter bonnet with all this easter grass, plastic eggs and peeps glued to it, then he proceeded to show us how the peeps were 69ing and in various other sexual positions.
3) Joey's date Julio arrived and he was already super drunk and having inappropriate conversation at the dinner table.
4) We weren't even drinking real wine, but in fact some Wild Vines, which sells for like $3 a bottle and looks like Boones, no doubt my date was discovering how classy I was. In fact I think he was horrified, he left as soon as dinner was over and I never heard from him again.
5) After dinner we retired into our "bar" where we turned on the strobe light and pretended to be in the Matrix, Julio and I re-enacted several key fight scenes :)
6) Apparently they are pictures that I've never seen, Joey is going to look for them tonight so I can post some..sure to be more horrid details I left out!
