The Long Road

05/20/2003 Archived Entry: "My Weekend"

So what’s been going on with me?

On Friday I went out and finally got myself a suit. There’s a wedding sometime next month so no khakis and t-shirt for me. It was pretty expensive but it’s only the first of several large purchases I intend on making over the next little while.

A friend had these hilarious comments to make to me:

“speaking of glasses, i just got some
the word is an HD-TV
i don't go "she's hot....whoa NO she's not" anymore”

Saturday I went out biking and saw a sight that made me think "unfair". Then I picked up some people and we went to see Matrix: Reloaded. Thoughts on that are coming up, I like it overall though. After the movie we went out to dinner, three of us split 8 pounds of wings. The girls were ... I wouldn't say impressed, more like...disgusted by all the poultry that was consumed. It was a rather messy ordeal, I tried holding out against using my hands but gave in after a while. I made sure to wash out all the wing-sauce very very thoroughly afterwards. We then went to play some pool...I was doing alright at first but as the night wore on I got pretty bad. Meh.

Sunday I went out and bought some groceries for the BBQ that my cousins and had on Monday. I spent 70$ on food...a little ridiculous considering I don't think I even bought that much stuff. My brother and I had to drive around for about an hour looking for somewhere to fill our propane tank. None of the gas stations around here have a refilling service thing apparently. We hit all the stations within at least a 10 block radius from our place, but nothing. Then we got to COSTCO, they had one but were closed. At COSTCO, we ran into some guy who had the exact same problem except he'd been driving around for about 30 minutes more than we had, so we vented to each other. I told him about a place I knew that for sure had a propane pump but it was 1/2 way across town, he came with us anyways. This was the hardest I've ever had to work for propane. Ridiculous. Turns out that the other guy with propane issues lives down the street from us. Cool.

Oh ya, I also bought some comics, yay cheap comics!

Monday, I had my BBQ with my cousins. We made our own burgers which was fun and ate outside with all the bugs, which was not so fun. Eating indoors is a thousand times more comfortable. I insisted that someone bring me a black forest cake (I’ve been wanting one for like 4 months) so my brother had to drive around for a long time looking for one. Apparently he found one at a Tim Horton’s “on the other side of town”. It was well worth it, though maybe not for my brother.
