Weekend
After I finally managing to reach Austin, I spent half of the day sleeping (surprise surprise). Mike picked me up from the airport, and we went back to his place to play with Miko. Miko is super fat, and I have the propensity to grab her and hug her until she squeaks and squirms away. With my annoying antics, I managed to get Miko to scratch Mike's new leather couch. Heh. You can imagine how UNhappy Mike was with me. Doh...
Anyway, Saturday was pretty relaxing. Like I said, I slept for a good part of it. Then we decided to make dinner. Well, Mike said he would make me dinner, but I couldn't help myself and ended up helping too. We made this Thai chicken peanut curry dish, and had chocolate fonude for dessert. YUM. :) Oh, and we rented six movies from Blockbuster. heh. We got through three of them before I passed out again.
Sunday was pretty decent. We went to eat dimsum for lunch. I remembered the place being better, but it was actually really oily. So, that was slightly disappointing. But, whatdya gonna do. Then we went to see the Miro Quartet play at UT. Contemporary music does not suit me, but I think they still did an excellent job. I have to admit, I am impressed w/ how Texans can even make classical music a Texas pride thing. The motto in the program: "This is Texas music!" *sigh* I don't think there is any other state that has quite as much pride as Texas...
For dinner, we had Rudy's. Man, I love that place. Everytime I go to Austin, I always have to eat there. There were so many places I wanted to eat that weekend...but alas, I only got to eat at two. Doh.
Monday flight back as bitchy. Short of it is that I ended up being put on STANDBY for some stupid reason when I had my flight changed on Friday. ALMOST wasn't able to get back to Pittsburgh on my orginal flight. But, I have to admit that I really like Continental service (again). So, I made it back on time, despite the FAT ASS that sat next to me. Maybe I am being prejudiced or rude or whatever, but I firmly believe that if you do not fit into a seat, friggin' by two seats so you can fit. And don't be mad at ME if you do not fit into your seat and have to give up half of MY seat when I get there. Dumb ass. Grr. Make me mad.
Umm...lastly, I went to see my first ice hockey game Monday night. Toronto Leafs (?) against the Pittsburgh Penguins. I wish I rooted for the Leafs, but then, as Scott would say, I would be a bandwagon fan. To that I have to say, "SO WHAT?" Rooting for the losing team sucks. :( But, on the other hand, we were there for a historic NHL moment: the Penguins just broke the record for the longest losing streak in the NHL. Ok, so you have to be excited about something. :)
Aiite, I think I am done for now. Long entry, huh?
