The Weekend

The past weekend was pretty good. It was my birthday so it had to be, right? Of course.

Friday night was spent with a faction of the Info Crew watching the Bourne Identity and just hanging out at my place soaking up every ounce of air conditioning that we could since it was so blasted hot outside that day. It was good times, as usual.

Saturday was my birthday and what a better way to spend it than by going to work! Right… ok, I had my normal Saturday shift at the lab and then it was off to Rock Bottom Brewery for some dinner fun with the Info Crew. Dinner was to celebrate the birthdays of Kevin, Kat, and myself since all of our birthdays are within a week of each other. Dinner was cool and it has been a while since I had seen all of the faces in one sitting. Good times despite Anthony looking up every girl that came up the stairs in front of him. I am sure that I have some great pics on my camera. Using Jamie and I as decoys was all apart of his plan. Now, it didn’t help either that there was a table of girls next to us that he swears was there for a sorority meeting. Oh, Anthony.

Then we thought it would be a good idea to go see the Bourne Supremacy. Well, it was a good idea until we got to the theatre to see that the next two showings were sold out. I was kinda bummed because I wanted to see it, but the night pressed on without the movie.

After the movie fell through it was back to my place for some mafia, cranium, and texas hold ’em. Again, nice to just chill, but come midnight I was just beat and wanted to go to bed. So, it was off to sleep…

Sunday was time spent with my lady. From lunch of Velveeta Shells and Cheese, ‘Lil Smokies, and Rice (if your name is Jamie) to walking around downtown it was a good day. Very relaxing and just what I needed.

It was definitely a good weekend, now I just need to catch up on some sleep, I am dying here at the lab right now.

Sleep Was Never So Good

Last night I was literally burning up and I thought something was wrong with me. I felt achy everywhere and my face was bright red. It was suggested that I take a cold shower, but I instead sat in front of the A/C unit to cool off enough until I went to bed. That is when the best night of sleep occurred.

I went to sleep a little before midnight and I didn’t wake-up until 11:30. Yeah, no waking up in between either. I think that my brother even came in the room to use the bathroom to shower and I didn’t even hear him come in or out. I was passed out. That has to have been the best night of sleep that I had in a long time.

Bite of Seattle

Fooding has never been better. Tonight Jamie, Anthony, my Brother Paul and I went to Seattle Center for the Bite of Seattle. I have not been to the Bite before, but I have been to similar events before. There were lots of people around and the weather could not have been better. We must have walked around enough to see all the stands. Luckily we were not too terribly hungry to begin with or else I would have spent a lot more money. I mean, I was all proud of myself for mooching off of the free samples and only spending $11 the entire night. I had an elephant ear, pad thai and fried rice, strawberry shortcake, and fried bananas. Good food and good times. Now I am feeling the wrath of a food coma…

Next Fooding Event: MN State Fair

Oh, Saturday!

Yeah, today was pretty amazing. Let’s see… I had Dim Sum in the International District, walked around the market, visited Jamie’s new place for the next couple of months, and went shopping. Now, that might not bleed excitement, but it was good times. Also, the really nice weather made it much more enjoyable to be outside in.
