jpegghostBoy I bet you guys are sick of my birthday posts. This is the last one.
I'm 27 now! Wow! Fuck! Shit!
Work was mercifully easily, no dead folks and I spent most of the day working on Death Certificates, then halfway through the day my coworkers surprised me with a banana creme pie! Banana is my favorite of all flavors, especially artificial. Right after that, my friend of 13+ years, Chelsea, drove up to my place of work and gave me a little succulent, iced coffee and shiba inu stickers and we hugged a lot because I haven't seen her in a month, which is very long for us.
Alex picked me up right after for our ~staycation~ at a local Airbnb, then immediately made me kalbi beef with grilled king oyster mushrooms, rice, kimchi, and fish cakes his mom so kindly bought for me. He also made a devil's food cake for me, which was delicious.
Alex had some very thoughtful gifts for me. He knows I miss my friends, so he not-so-sneakily contacted my closest ones to leave me a message, then made this big boy.
It's so cute, especially since he coordinated the shiba fur colors with all my friend's hair colors. Also if you somehow squint enough to read all that, yes, my Real Name is Cecil! Hi!
He also got me this sick ancient arterial embalming bottle! It's so beautiful :')
After my presents we went upstairs to watch my favorite movie, THE THING (1982) on my laptop since this place doesn't have a tv lol. Alex being a former bartender was VERY excited to make a The Thing-based cocktail, he had been planning for it for a while. Here's photo evidence (the neon green cups were all that was available).
For anyone who wants to make it, it's 1.5oz J&B scotch, fill an iced glass with gingerale, juice of a lime, and a few dashes of Angostura Bitters. Sorry the photo is so bad, my phone is ooooold.
It was overall a very sweet and thoughtful birthday, I'm so flattered that everyone would go the extra mile to make it special and fun, especially Alex!
