random bits and pieces

i saw the impossible

irwin more relaxed than i had ever previously seen him. yup folks i never thought it possible either, but get a few margaritas and a glass of wine in the man and wow. he looked like he had achieved enlightenment...

... well so my weekend was just incredibly busy. more than i personally like, but it was good seeing so many people. now if they could only just live close to each other instead of constantly being on different sides of lake washington. friday night i went to matt's birthday party which was fabulously fun! tons of guys (pretty much all guys) and one guy who hit on me, but i wasn't entirely sure. i had this clarified for me later. at any rate my headache all started at this point. before the party i went running for 10-15 mins and came back & showered. then i went to gerald's who drove to matt's. at matt's i had 1 mike's hard lemonade (the one that's red - i forget what it is) and very little of a fuzzy navel wine cooler. that's right folks a wine cooler :). anyways i get home around 1am or so and decide it's bedtime. i wake up around 9am to get to travis's to see the table & look at tablecloths/napkins. man did i have a headache. but after travis's i went to tom's to help him shop for more home furnishings. we parked at the bon marche parking garage which is no longer $5 on saturdays... oops. oh well so we walked down to the market and had brunch at Etta's seafood. i had chile relleno and two eggs (it was the special) with a cup of coffee. after brunch (at 2pm) we walked around some furniture stores and saw an awesome table at Kasala. i really like this table... i'm not sure if tom's decided on it yet. but i am seriously loving this table. anyways we walk around seattle some more including west lake center etc. eventually we end up at the bon marche again (bon macy's whatever) and we find some silverware it's a really nice set originally $240 going for $99 (service for 12).

after this we leave downtown seattle and end up back at uvillage since it's easier to park and shop here. then we picked up dinnerware for 8 at williams sonoma. it's fun spending other ppl's money :). we drop off dinnerware at tom's to get to marta's birthday party by 6pm. at marta's i notice my head is absolutely swirling... and i have to seriously excuse myself to go home. at this point i realize i haven't drank any water since approximately 6pm Friday... i drink some water on my way home from tom's place and start feeling a little better. then i end up at james jen's bbq around 8pm. where i collapse on the floor trying to drink more water and eat some food. matt and gerald are there too. it's always fun when matt's around. so i chat w/ some people there including a guy named bryan who works as a designer in games. around 11pm i decide to leave james's to go to irwin's who is having people over for margaritas and movies. at this point my headache is okay, but i can't even think of drinking any alcohol. at irwin's i find everyone watching van wilder (which i hadn't seen until then). a very amusing movie btw... i got a chance to catch up with eric who i hadn't had a chance to talk to in a long time... that was nice and then i ended up at home around 2am

i don't think i've been that busy since ... well never.
