More Houston Fun

9/10 & 9/11 - We spent this weekend in Houston.  Luke saw dinosaurs.  The Horns won... that's about all that matters, right?

Better Weekend

I think Thomas read my post last weekend and felt sorry for me, because he came to Austin this weekend! Friday night we went downtown for Kristi's birthday. I think we all had a pretty good time. One of those nights where we all jump around excitedly because we're having fun. I believe the boys made up a new dance called the "Eye-Fall" which was inspired by... someone's eye falling out at Gruv. We all spent more money than we wanted to on bottle service for Kristi--but that's the price of loving your friend.

Daniel Pinkston came downtown... so that was interesting. It was nice seeing him, seeing as how I probably haven't seen him since the Spring '06 show.

Brandon & Natalie were in town! I let them stay at my apartment since Natalie's friends were already a pretty big party and she was hesitant to ask the person they were staying with to let Brandon stay too. It was overall a really good Friday night!

Saturday morning I woke up and made cupcakes and then the four of us (me, Thomas, Brandon & Natalie) met up Mr., Buddy & JJ for lunch at Trudy's. Then T and I headed off to College Station to see Katie. I wanted to visit her this weekend since she just had a birthday and I haven't yet visited her at her apartment. I really like her place--it's super cute! We went to eat Pho and Rachel joined us for a bit. I felt bad because I was really looking forward to having brunch on Sunday morning with her, but our plans changed a bit and we only got to hang with her Saturday night! I'm glad she was able to see me at all though!

Anyway, Thomas and I watched the beginning of the Texas vs. Tech game while I iced Katie's cupcakes... but then... Katie took her temperature and it seems she had a fever. Long story short, she needed to go to the ER to make sure it wasn't a very severe fever and that's where we spent most of our College Station Saturday night. I didn't mind though. I was still getting to spend time with them, albeit in a waiting room watching old Tom Cruise (pre-crazy) movies. Mission Impossible (The first one) and Minority Report. There were douchey mcdouchebag Aggies in the ER, but whatever, one would expect that on game night.

Then we went back to Katie's and hung out until I eventually passed out.

This morning we woke up a little before 10 and hit the road. It's Derek's bday and Thomas wanted to be sure to be back in Dallas in time for dinner.

Overall, great weekend. I'm now watching LOTR Two Towers and making lasagna (... I'm being very loose with ther term 'making') for Johnny & myself.

It's Too Late Baby, Yeah It's Too Late

It's really not THAT late if I'm on LA time. But I'm NOT on LA time anymore am I? No, it's 2 AM. And I can't seem to go to bed. That probably has something to do with that awful mint mocha chip frap that I had at Starbucks before boarding my plane. I really got it for no other reason than out of boredom.

My trip to LA was great. The highlights?

- Seeing Theresa again after not seeing her since... I have no idea, but it's been awhile.

- WICKED! ZOMG! I saw Wicked at the Pantages Theater (a gooooorgeous theater in LA) and it was so wonderful! The leads were amazing--definitely lived up to Kristen & Idina potential. I mean... I can honestly say that being able to see it live was better than any other single event that I experienced in France last summer. It was THAT good.

- Beached it in Malibu!

- Hung out for an entirely long time on Hollywood Blvd.

I did other things, but that was the bulk of it. Keep in mind, I was only there for 3 days.

I feel like such an old person though. I mean, Theresa has a lot of energy, but I just couldn't keep up. Thankfully Katie couldn't either, so at least were in the same boat there! Theresa was just constantly on the go! I... was tired. All the time. =D But hey, it was my vacation! I do what I want!

I have to go to work in the morning though... in... less than 6 hours. I predict I'll be writing some kind of post tomorrow complaining about how tired I am. Hopefully he's doing procedures in the afternoon tomorrow and it's not an all-day thing. Man I will die if it's an all-day clinic day. I can't handle that. I mean I can... but I'd rather not.

Few things I need to do tomorrow:

1. Go to Walmart and get my fm transmitter and storage boxes.

2. Get a new charger for my shuffle (hit up the Domain apple store).

I wonder if I'll actually get to either of those things...
