8:28 Horror: waking up in a strange room. Relief: remembering you’ve left town and are staying at a friend’s.

8:45 I hope Franklin stays asleep for a while, as I’m not ready to get out of this cozy bed yet.

8:49 Twittered and Facebooked. Now it’s back to dozing.

9:01 A distant church bell has just rung 28 times on a Saturday morning. What is this, the 1300s?

Q: How do you ruin Star Trek? A: Lots of white wine on an empty stomach. Oof.

9:06 Franklin has the perfect covers for throwing them over your head; no suffocation here. #zzzzzzz

9:39 Franklin is up and that means it’s time for breakfast! Going to the Post House? Chop House? I’m ready to chow the eff down.

10:06 At the Chop House for breffus. Special: 2 large eggs, home fries, toast & coffee, choice of ham, sausage, scrapple, or bacon. $4.50.

11:11 Body wash dilemma: mint ice, walnut shell or olive leaf?

11:20 I love an iron with a retractable cord.

11:30 Digging the chill Pandora station that’s playing.

11:31 These ibuprofen are biohazard orange.

11:51 Bday card and h2o secured. That took a lot of energy out of the both of us. Now we’re thinking bloody marys are in order once we pick Johann up and get to New Hope.

11:54 Tattooed hippie poseur boy getting out of a Prius. What a dolt.

11:56 Franklin says “Pennsylvania drivers never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.” We are in Delaware.

12:00 New for 2009: Appliques!

12:57 We have picked up the birthday boy, had a cocktail and are headed to New Hope.

1:03 There is a lot of giggling happening in this car right now.

1:10 Johann: “Tweet it, Ivan, tweet it!”

1:27 Johann is giving us a history lesson on Trenton, NJ.

1:35 Heavy discussion about Twitter and tweeting to the choir.

1:37 Johann: “I don’t like to talk business unless I’m spending money so I can write it off.”

1:45 NJ needs more signage. That governor is definitely not going to win the out-of-state absentee vote come November.

2:15 A casual lunch at Hamilton’s Grill Room. Outdoor courtyard seating. How fabulous.

2:28 No liquor license for restaurants? Mercy. Cocktails will have to wait. And I’ve never waited for a cocktail in my life.

3:12 Desert: grilled pineapple & seasonal fruits with brown sugar and rum. Meanwhile, Franklin pitches his pyramid scheme.

3:51 If you don’t get it you don’t deserve to get it.

4:05 It’s cocktail time. New Hope is a cute resort town.

4:12 Apparently, it’s Gay Pride weekend here in New Hope!

4:15 Sketchy is catchy.

4:34 Looking up caipirinha recipes.

5:29 After walking around the quaint little town for a bit it’s time for another cocktail. Now we’re at Mother’s Restaurant & Wibe Bar.

5:44 In the Navy, makin’ gravy love to do it love to do it.

6:20 Twisted Arm Syndrome? Sure, if you say so.

6:23 Now we’re at The Landing, on the Delaware River, where George Washington (allegedly) crossed.

6:34 Drama in New Hope is the middle bun of the Big Mac.

7:18 I am my own Shazam app.

7:24 We are leaving town without a police escort. Thanks for a great day, New Hope!

7:33 Created a Depeche Mode station in Franklin’s iPhone. First up on the decks: a-ha. A-nice.

7:45 Crisp!

8:20 Just bought tickets to Star Trek in the car on by iPhone. Fucking sweet. Technology rocks. Let’s hope during this viewing of ST I don’t hit a wall.

8:51 Dropped the birthday boy off at his house. Such a great day with Johann, he cracks me up. The three of us have laughed so much today. Now we’re headed back to Delaware to chill for a bit and then Star Trek.

9:52 Had a quick dinner of Chinese takeout. Rushing to the theater now. Afterwards I think we’re to chill and watch SNL, and giggle about all the giggling done today with Johann. Who knew someone so smart could be so funny? He’s probably imagining Sandy Duncan in a wheatfield right now and loving it, loving it.

12:34 Star Trek was pretty cool. The incessant lens flares started to annoy mr after a while but that’s minor. The set design and cast is *gorgeous* though.

1:06 At Franklin’s, gonna have a one o’clocktail and watch some SNL.

1:50 Franklin is showing me his Sims 2 characters and house. He has a massive monitor to play it on. #jealous

3:07 Zzzz
