What a weekend!

This weekend was amazing and crazy and bizarre and so many other words... I loved it! I just feel like writing a quick recap so I don't forget about it. :)

So Friday night Ericka had heard about what we thought was going to be a cool MJ tribute in the Tower District so around 9 or 930 we headed to where it was supposed to be and it turned out that it was... a restaurant-- and a pretty small one at that-- playing MJ songs over the sound system... not so much what we were hoping for! We spent all of about 2 minutes in there before we decided to head over to Avalon/Babylon instead. The band there was interesting, to say the least, but at least they were playing good 80s songs, even if I'm not sure how I felt about their renditions of them! Billy and Ericka whooped me at pool for a while until Nanda got there, and then all three of them whooped me... I'm a horrible pool player!

Anyways, the funniest part of the night was when the guy who was there with his friend (who tried to hit on Ericka, haha) came over and introduced himself to me at the bar and I realized that not only had I met this guy before, but we'd actually hung out quite a bit... The summer after I graduated high school my old friend Melissa and I met him and a friend of his at Blackbeards randomly and he and I quasi- sort of kind of dated or something. It was too funny, we both remembered such different, random things about when we met/hung out the first time and we spent most of the rest of the night/morning talking and catching up and stuff. It was good times... very, very drunk good times... Oh! Despite the random awesome-ness of running into Darren again, my favorite part of the night came just after last call when Ericka rushed over to me with a jager bomb already dropped in the cup and when I asked about it (because neither of us really needed anything else to drink at that point!) she told me "They said it was closing time and I panicked!"... I love that girl. :)

The rest of the weekend was pretty uneventful. I spent Saturday recouping and catching up on the first season of True Blood (which I finally finished-- yay!). We BBQ'd, Rockband'd and swam at Ericka's Saturday night and both Darren and his friend that was at the bar with him (why can I never remember his name... was it Dave?) came over and hung out. JD and Jenny were in town too-- every time I see Jenny now it feels like I haven't seen her in forever... it makes me sad! E and I need to work on convincing them to move back to Fresno. ;)

And not weekendy but still something good... yesterday was the best Monday I've had in months! I spent most of my day working (right through lunch, so I got to go home early!) on reconciling our bank statement with my boss and the feeling of figuring it out after so much work was so rewarding! I'm such a nerd sometimes, but I really do like my job. :)

Alrighty, it's time for lunch-- today is positively CRAWLING by!
