Phill slowly figures out why people socialize. K Sera discusses the intricacies between different types of food-related parties. Micah does his very best to keep our topic from being derailed. Oh yeah, it's about dinner parties!
Show Notes:
Why it’s important to socialize
Man Ruins Romantic Weekend by Saying What He Was Thinking
Why we don’t like listening to our own voices
K Sera’s Afterthoughts:
- Back in my college days, I sang for a really neat church with an excellent music department. The choral director was a phenomenal organist. I eventually quit, though, partly because I was busy as heck (19 credits per semester plus 2 club activities where I held officer positions), but mostly because I was being hit on by a man old enough to be my grandfather and I didn’t need that bullshit. Also… it’s a church and we all know how I feel about religion by now.
- People (Micah) should be more inclusive with their use of ‘or’ in sentences. FREE YOURSELVES FROM THIS FALSE DICHOTOMY OF THOUGHT.
- Cocktail parties are for drinking cocktails and sometimes wearing fancy dress. A Shrimp cocktail is… an abomination of a dish sometimes served in a cocktail glass at cocktail parties hosted by people who like to go all out on themed events.
- What was our topic again???
Phillip’s Afterthoughts:
- I think that shrimp cocktail is an amazing idea that is also well executed. I am also a person that loves a fully loaded and totally impractical Bloody Mary, so perhaps I am not a good judge of the “drink or food” game
- I miss board game nights and I hope to resume them again someday (hopefully soon)
- Mario Kart Party is definitely a Pizza Party, well done K Sera.
- Honestly I don’t really care about the reason why people are over, I just want to socialize and have good food with good company (and Micah is totally right about the fact that good company comes first). Over the past 18 months I’ve been thinking about this more often and I honestly think that having a healthy social life is hard work. It requires effort and energy, both of which seem to be in short supply these days.
- I do miss my pet Peach, she was an amazing cat. She was also a huge asshole. She can be both, and that was why I miss her!
