so here is what the plan WAS
i was to take the bus to greenport
have a lovely dinner with my gal pal tralena
and my goddaughter zora
crash
wake up
float in the bay ..the pool ..the bay... the pool..my brain
all day long with t and z
have some fried fish
then around din din time
la 'C" would arrive
to romance me
or well as much as one can romance in front of a precocious
6 year old
then we would all have a grand old time
aaah yes
until saturday, when la C
and i would return to NYC
grab my two fat cats and drive to provincetown
happy
tan and tranquil
here's how it really went
sat in 3 hours of traffic on the bus
got there
jumped in the pool
went to dinner with T and Z
in the middle of dinner felt completely ill
called it an early night
and went back to my room to have
what i thought would be a one night of shall we say
"the poopoolinas"
woke up
poolinas still raring to go
the sun that had come up to greet me
went to hell
replaced by black skies and endless rain interspersed with drizzle
go to town
with T and Z
eat under a plastic awning
buy groceries
return to stare at the rainy sky and watch
"terminator 2"
on the boob tube
more poolinas
La C calls (she's the one with car FYI weve been cabbing it in and outa town)
shes not coming till manyana
watch more boob toob
crash
wake up
poolinas have transformed into godzallinas
La C arrives and magically the sun comes out and its a beautiful day
we lie on the private beach like comotose freaks
(yes i wore sunscreen.. la C did not and now looks like a cuban lobster)
drop T and Z off at an all day barbecue
between godzallina and La C's clear statement that she did not come all the way out here to sit in someone's yard
we do not stay
go to town i eat fried fish
La C eats lobster
go back to room
La C hits the wall of overdrive she's been in for weeks and pretty much lies in bed like a dead dog from friday afternoon till saturday morning
the only fireworks i see are the ones shot off by some drunken fisherman on the beach
godzallinas transform into hellaciousinas
by now i am eating nothing but rice
eggs
cheese
and metamucel
saturday am
La C wakes up ready to take on the world
its a beautiful day
T and Z go to the public beach
leaving la C and I to roll on the sand
C sunbathes
whilst I run to the bathroom about hmm
12 times
later on send the whole gang including C
to the town to buy me some real deal
flow stopping drugs
this has now been dubbed and official case of
montezumas revenge
they go to town
i roll around in the bed and watch planet of the apes
la C comes back gives me the drugs
i take them
by 6:00 i feel ready to take on the 2 hour car ride back to NYC
smoooch T and Z
head back to La Manhattan
and just make it home before
montezuma returns
spend the night catching up on mail
and visiting the bathroom
postpone nighttime journey to provincetown
okay
so now its sunday
the idea was we would be in p-town
while my bathroom was renovated
the plumber is supposed to come today and
GASP
turn the water off
and im supposed to take
a 6 HOUR DRIVE
to ptown
all i can think is
oh my %$#^&*(&*^%$$ god!
help!!!
other than that
greenport was a blast
hmm
bad choice of words
**
..oh.. FYI
on a more serious
note...not that montezuma's revenge isn't serious..
