Sing us a song you're the piano man

A little late with the karaoke recap but it's been a busy week.

First I should tell you a little about the karaoke place we went to. It's not the classiest joint (I mean you have to smuggle your booze in a bag or giant purse) but you do get a private room and the song selection is pretty good.

I went with the "party" room because I wanted enough room for everyone. The party room was purple with disco balls, black lights, couches, tables and chairs, AND a piano. There was plenty of room for everyone. I think everyone had a blast, I know I did and I wish I was doing it again this weekend.

A few pictures for your viewing pleasure.

Matt singing Welcome to the Jungle. Pretty amazing with the dance moves.

Not sure what's happening here but I love it

Jesse, Ashley, Melissa and Darryl belting it out

Ashley, me, Allie and Germana. We take our karaoke seriously!

Ashley and Carlos did the best rendition of Barbie Girl I've ever heard.

Allie and I did the Romy and Michelle dance to Time After Time.

Matt was Axel Rose complete with dance moves.

We all sung some Queen and all the girls sang I Kissed A Girl.

Good times all around.

Practicing my moves

I slept eleven hours last night. It was glorious. I was unexpectedly busy at work this week. Clients were coming out of the word work. "Hello, your firm divorced me in 1983 and I need this document." It was like that all week.

But now it's Saturday and I don't have to bust out the shovel. Tonight is my early birthday celebration. I rented a room at a karaoke place in Allston called Do Re Mi. It's so ghetto and awesome. It's the best place for karaoke in Boston. I have a few songs that I plan on singing. Here's the short list:

• Gangster's Paradise - Coolio
• Superman's Dead - Our Lady Peace
• The Right Stuff - New Kids on the Block
• Teenage Dirtbag - Wheetus
• Just Dance - Lady Ga Ga

I love being surprised by what my friends pick.

It's going to be a toasty 6 degrees tonight. I'm starting to question global warming because I'm starting to feel like I live in Fargo.

Finally, a good date!

Shockingly I actually had a really good date last night! I'm posting about it for proof that I am not the pickiest girl on the planet and I can meet someone I actually like. It's also nice going on a date with someone who actually has a job and doesn't think he's Bob Dylan.

We had dinner and drinks and then met up with Sarah and Kevin and a few other people for karaoke at Do Re Mi. When we got there we didn't know where they were and an employee saw us looking through the windows on the doors and said "are you guys looking for a group of white people? They're in room 7." Maybe I'm hanging out with one of the asian groups? How does he know? I mean he was right about the room but still.

We had some pretty amazing song choices. I sang Wannabe with Sarah, we had some Bon Jovi, Journey, Johnny Cash, old school rap, songs from musicals for no good reason.

So I guess we'll see what happens. I'm hoping for a date #2
