what a great weekend.

drove down to madison friday night for ddr/drinking good times with the kids down there. ddr is much, much harder when you've had 2 or 3 or 4 drinks mixed by mixmaster nicole. we watched some stella skits in there somewhere that i vaguely remember, and at one point while i was in the bathroom mark accosted a taxi driver that was taking some friends home.

the next morning we all got together for breakfast/lunch at willobys - the place was full when we got there, but thankfully there was an angry lesbian couple that just got up angrily and left after putting in their order, tossing a quarter on the table for their coffees as they walked out with their kids. so bonus, there was no waiting for the table.

there was, however, much too much waiting for the food.

and then we sat there for like a half hour after everyone was done, just waiting for the check.

we were having a good old time, mind you, but we waited for a half hour all the same. donielle pulled some dollars out of her purse and started fanning herself with them to try and get the waitresses attention.

the creepy thing is i was sitting with my back facing the counter, so i went a good long while without seeing our girl running around helping people. and all of a sudden i turn around and she's looking really harried and carrying around this baby. no one agreed with me, but i think we were waiting so long because she decided to have a baby in the kitchen. you gotta commend the girl for getting right back to work afterward, you know?

the drive home was uneventful and much too quiet. and then i slacked off on the couch for the rest of the day, watching kill bill interspersed with talking with various people on the phone and knitting.

sunday i called best buy to make an appointment for next weekend to get the new stereo put in my car and they told me hey why don't you come in today we've got a bunch of time slots open. went to see the new kill bill, then headed on over and not only was the cd player i wanted on sale, but they had a free installation deal going on, too. i mean it sucks because i shouldn't have had to buy a new cd player in the first place, but at least it wasn't as spendy as planned. went home and took care of some packing and then just crashed on the couch.

that's my story and i'm stickin to it, and now for some reason the powers that be think i should actually be doing work right now. what's up with that?
