My roommate is watching the neighbors sugar gliders while they are out of town. What are those you may ask. I had never heard of them so I went with her to check them out. Turns out they a freaking flying rats. I don't like things coming towards me quickly and one of these flying furballs scared the the bejesus out of me when it almost jumped on my head. Even stranger is the way they scurry along the floor. It's not walking, it's small jumpy movements. I eventually let one make its way up my arm and if sniffed at my new tattoo as if passing judgement. I am not sure why anyone would want to own these but I say stick to dogs and cats. Which reminds me of a bumper sticker I saw today that said "so many cats, so few recipes".

So, a drink was needed after this encounter and we headed to Sullivans. Having been gone for 10 years, everything in Austin is new to me. Sullivan's is a expensive steak house but on Thursdays and Sundays at the bar area they have $5 martinis and a limited array of entrees for $5 also. Hating gin, I had a Blue Moon. Though it turns out a lot martinis are made without gin these day. Who knew. I got a kick out of the place because they had a jazz band and the bar itself was dark wood and looked like a classic classy New York bar. Plus the waitress had on some bitching stockings.
Next we went to Fado, and Irish bar I have gone to once before. Can't say it was too exciting, though they are showing the futball (soccer) games this week.
We ended up at Speakeasy. A local band was playing called Mothers Anthem. The bass player was hot hot hot. Good thing he was taken cos him being 25 years old may not have stopped me.
It was the best place we went all night but I felt older than Jesus.
If you have not gone upstairs to the Rooftop at Speakeasys.....GO GO GO. It is the most amazing view of Austin. I am scared of heights but for some reason, being on top of tall buildings makes me happy.
I think it is time for sleep.
