A wild weekend, to be sure.

I had a great time this weekend, spent most of it relaxing and not getting the things done that I needed to get done. I wasn't one of those idiots marching in one of the many parades. I'm not a parade type of guy. To me, standing still and watching people walk by is about as exciting as watching paint dry.

Friday was a fun night with friends, dinner, during which we had a nice talk about my recent relationship-y type expedition, lots of drinks, and then, just for fun, some more drinks. Saturday, I watched both Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back, both special editions. I made plans for a nice easy, early night out, which were completely foiled when I was captured and kidnapped from the Ten Cat Tavern by the same woman who took a picture up my kilt 2 weeks before and her friend. After some video bowling and a lot of vodka, the decision was made to journey to a karaoke bar. After one failed attempt at finding parking near my favorite, the Hidden Cove, we wandered south to a bar called the Cafe Bong Ho. This bar could potentially replace all karaoke bars in the world as my favorite, mostly because of the environment. It's a little tiny hole in the wall and the song book contains songs in about 5 different languages, ranging from Spanish to Korean to Vietnamese. I was quite excited, and the drinks were rather cheap, which only served to encourage more singing. We sang several songs, including a solo job on "Break on Through" by The Doors, something I'm supremely proud of. Although my companions usually carried the weight(my range is low and limited, sadly), doing wonderful renditions of Landslide and House of the Rising Sun, and our final trio doing Livin' on a Prayer. After a quick stop at the late bar, it was off to bed for me, save for a drunk dialing call to one of my kidnappers.

Sunday was a relaxing, damn-I-should-get-my-stuff-one-today type day, where I got very little done. My roommate and I spent some serious couch time, watching Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, Spies Like Us, and finally, Three Amigos! before I finally got some laundry done. Sadly, adjusting to doing homework again didn't really happen, so very little homework was done. Laundry, on the other hand, was partially done, and ironing was completed for at least 3 days this week, making my life slightly more convenient.

I guess it's time I did some work.
