What a weekend. Elise and I had a lot of fun on Friday. We stayed up really late, just hanging out on the porch and talking. It was a great way to start the weekend. El spent most of the evening just telling me how great I was and how much she loved me – she talked about my ‘cute’ id·i·o·syn·cra·sies. My wife is pretty amazing.
So… seeing how we stayed up so late on Friday, we slept in pretty late on Saturday. We woke up, lazily watched a little tele and went to Subway for lunch. Shortly after eating, Tommy called and asked if we were leaving soon. Tommy acquired tickets to the 93.3 FM birthday party at Sub Zero in Austin. Elise and I hopped up, got dressed and headed to Austin. We stopped to pick up Philip and headed to Sub Zero. We received the V.I.P. treatment… we got name badges, three free drink tickets per person, free Asian marinated meatballs, mini roast beef sandwiches and vanilla cake.
Jeremy and Victor accompanied Tommy. Shortly after arriving, Tommy and Victor left the club to seek ‘companions’ for the evening. They found two young ladies and brought them back to the club. Needless to say, they weren’t very entertaining, so everyone pretty much established that they weren’t of much benefit to our ensemble. They eventually left. The six of us decided to leave Sub Zero after inhaling helium from the birthday balloons and chiming “Follow the yellow brick road” and making nunchucks out of glowsticks. We went to Paradox. We didn’t last long. It was getting late – it was time for a night cap and for El and I to head back to bustling Temple.
We all went back to Tommy’s and philosophized about domestic affairs loud enough to wake up the next door neighbor. After that, it was time to go home.
Elise and I got home late. We slept in [again] and went to Walmart to get some odds and ends as well as a few grocery items. We came home, I watched some cheesy documentary on Eminem and the last series of AMA superbike racing (Kawasaki ZX7 won!!!)
For once, we had a weekend that was actually long. Now it’s time to go to bed and watch the clock – waiting for next weekend.
Oh yeah, looks like I will be getting the PS2. Mom sent me a couple links to some eBay auctions for PS2’s. I decided not to buy a PS2 on eBay because I wouldn’t have the comfort of returning it to a store should something be wrong. Instead, I bid on a Dual Shock 2 controller (a stock PS2 only comes with one controller). A Dual Shock controller retails at $24.99 – I won a brand new, factory sealed controller for $6.99.
