this is how we do it

  • What's up folks? Not much here, I'm really exhausted. Think I may powersnooze in a bit after this. I had a fun weekend though. On Friday evening I took Michelle to Claimjumper for her early birthday dinner. It was basically my present to her. Cost a lot of money, but boy was it worth it. So freakin good. Then later on we went to Acupulco, a Mexican restaurant on the border of San Lorenzo and Hayward with Fernando, Grace and their kids. We only had drinks/chips since we already ate. Fern's son Joey is so freakin cute, and boy is he smart. Grace is such a great mom.
  • Saturday Davina and I got up early and caught the first showing of Cirque De Freak : The Vampire's Assistant. I really liked it. Wasn't monumentally heart pounding or anything, but it was a nice vampire adventure movie. Then we went to the marina and walked 3 miles, that was fun. Later on in the evening I picked her up and we went to the Halloween Haunt at Great America. It was so worth the $25. There were 5 different haunted attractions, random creatures walking about, and riding the coasters at night is so much fun. Especially The Demon. Would have ridden Top Gun but the line was too long. I love having the crap scared out of me. Later on we made a late night run to La Pinata for some killer Mexican grub. Yumtastic.
  • On Sunday I opted on sleeping in instead of going to church. Seeing that I didn't get home until 2am and didn't go to sleep until 3, it makes sense. I did catch up on sleep, made a nice breakfast, and headed on over to the gym to get a great workout. I only got a semi-great workout since my new iPod decided to issue me the white screen of death. I tried all the different manual resets with no luck. Fortunately I only bought it 10 days ago and was able to return it to Best Buy. Only bummer is because I purchased it online, I couldn't do an even exchange, all I could do was get the refund back on my card. Later on I picked up a new one from the store in Dublin. I just didn't feel like going back to Union City and doing in-store pickup from the same dude who returned the other one. So yeah, that wasted a good part of an afternoon driving around dealing with my iPod problem. I spent the rest of my evening downloading music and trying to take a nap. I couldn't fall asleep for some reason. This time I can't blame my roommate and her kids, because they weren't home. Oh well. Then I came to work and talked to Kimmie for 2 hours on the phone, made copies and vacuumed the floor. Wow I did work. And I have to call some engineer in Wisconsin later on. Oh the excitement. Okay talk to y'all later.
