GYST.

So let’s see, where did we leave off…

Thursday morning, woke up early and got Mickey D’s breakfast with Gary before heading to Mason for a while. Lunch at Bdubs with Marm and Vincendo. Dinner with Doc, Gary & Amanda at La Pat in the JC. La Gross. Seriously JC, GYST! Whatever, Firehouse after that. Ryan didn’t come out but it was still a really good time! Don came by after class, I played a terrible game of bowling with Franco and the boys, went to Auld’s for a bit with Curtis to pick on Frank, and had a good talk with Don after the ride home.

Unfortunately I kept him out too late and he also had to get up wicked early. So early that Vinny thought he never came home and upon waking started a full scale search for him. Kinda funny in retrospect but we were all pretty worried there for awhile. Anyways, Friday morning went to work. Lame. Very slow. Only made like 40 some dollars. Weak sauce. But the day was salvaged b/c I went to the DC United game with Don and Gary. The most important part of that was the free tailgating passes we had for before the game. Although of course getting there was quite an adventure. First Gary was running late picking us all up, then we had to stop and get antifreeze for his car so we wouldn’t break down on the side of the road. Then the metro ride itself is a full hour. But whatever, we made it, free beer, free hotdogs, pretty fun band, and a free photo booth. Awesome. The game was boring. A tie, really? What is that crap. Went to firehouse after for a while. I hate the band that was playing that night so I walked over to Hard Times with Ernie and met up with pretty much every other Firehouse regular that was avoiding the place that night. Ernie, Brad Dueno, Mark Dikun and I hit up some late night Denny’s before heading home. Pancake Puppies are the jam. Just FYI.

Saturday was the first day I slept in all week. Too bad when I finally did wake up my roommate informed me we had a voicemail from the landlord telling us he was letting his friend live in the empty room in our house for a few weeks. And he was bringing him over that day. Fan-fucking-tastic. So Kelby and I sprang into action, I cleaned and he mowed the grass. Sucky way to start the day, but at least the house looks nice. The guy seems nice enough anyways, I think he’ll probably keep to himself mostly so should be ok. Later that day, Gary picked me up to go hang out at Don’s. Luckily we didn’t die when a part of his car decided to fall off while we were driving. Had to take it to the shop and have his dad drop us off at Don’s. Good times there, yummy pizza (even though the delivery guy was not the brightest). I practiced being an S.T.I. Smirk. Had to rush to Firehouse after that b/c Mikey was in town!! Ahh!! Sooo much fun! We actually went up to Shebeens near the end of the night and Kenny had fun! Yay! Maybe he’ll come up there with me sometimes now. We ran into Seung there, random, totally forgot she was 21 now. Def took a pic of her on Frank’s camera and am happy to see it was put to good use. :) Crashed at Kenny’s that night with everyone. Btdubs, I make some awesome late night food from 7-11 at 4 am.

Sunday morning, after only a few hours sleep, we trekked it on up to Shebeen for brunch. It was actually really good! Might be on the brunch rotation now…we’ll see. The bartender was a bit too energetic for brunch though,  I like to relax and enjoy my hangover on Sunday mornings…

After that, we metroed into DC for the day to go to the Smithsonian. Can you believe it? Kenny and I left Fairfax! It was really fun though, the modern art floor is amazing! I can’t even describe how cool this one room was. The lighting changed every 45 seconds or so and it was like you were looking at a completely different painting. So cool. We tried to go eat at Spike’s restaurant from Top Chef but of course it was closed on Sundays. Perfect. We walked down the street and found a place that looked cute called Hawk n’ Dove. Too bad it sucked. Sigh. Overcooked Prime Rib is just not good. Headed back to the fax and had serious naptime at Kenny’s. (Mikey and I are getting really good at sleeping together on that little couch lol.) We were supposed to go out to Bridges but we all kind of decided to stay in, order pizza, and watch SNL. The best of Amy Poehler. Classic. “RICK RICK RICK!!!”  ”Seriously, are you serious?!” Hah, good times.

Today I woke up early and went into Mason with Doc. Well, we stopped at Brion’s and had lunch. Yums. Got the rest of the invites sent out by email today, thank god. Sooo tired of dealing with that mess. Then Mikey, Kenny and I went to…wait for it….RED LOBSTER!!! I fucking love that place. And no one will ever go with me. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not cheap, so not an everyday place but still, SOOO GOOD! I’ve been talking about cheddar biscuits for probably about 6 months now. And they have my favorite caesar salad out of anywhere. So we feasted. It was delicious. Can you say, creamy langostino lobster mashed potatoes? Of course, immediately following dinner, we all went into a post-crab leg food coma. For 3 hours. Seriously.

Now, finally home after 3 days, catching up on the DVR. Probably gonna go heat up some cheddar biscuits for a late night snack. :)
