Wow.  I just read the post I left at 3am.  Really really sorry guys….  It’s a wonder I didn’t put myself to sleep, blathering on like that.

My sleep cycle is WACK. I’m just eating cereal (vanilla almond Special K) and drinking diet coke with lime, waiting for the urge to lose consciousness to hit me any moment now. No doubt, it will strike while I’m driving to work in a few hours. grrrrrrrr….

So I will to tell you about my weekend, maybe that will put me to sleep. Friday we celebrated cinco de mayo as the mexicans did.. by smoking hookah and shotgunning beast beers. Well, I didn’t shotgun, but it was fun to watch. From a safe distance from the spray zone. Will try to put up pictures of it. There was an ominous burp at the end of it (EEK!) Incidentally, did you know that cinco de mayo celebrates Mexican victory over France?? Mexico beat France? Wot?? Is there anyone who hasn’t yet? After getting Kevin good and drunk… had a very late night hehehehehe

Saturday we watched an early showing of MI3, which was so cool and fun that you forget there’s no real plot. Eh plot. It’s a really fun action movie with some real nailbiting scenes, go see go see. Afterwards we did another BBQ at Harry’s and ate and played xbox, I could have done that forever, but we were double booked and had to hustle downtown for the birthday of Kevin’s coworkers - we had to double back halfway when he realized he didn’t have his wallet and it would be in poor form to have the birthday girls pay for our dinners and drinks… made us really super late. By the time dinner ended around 11pm, I was close to being in a coma (having only slept for 3 hours for two nights prior to this) and had to head home early and leaving Kevin to drink himself into oblivion with beautiful women. You know you’re tired when A big thank you to Neal for picking me up, I owe ya one!

Sunday morning, visited with my folks and my dog, we did the obligatory asian thing and visited a) a sushi shop, and b) Costco. Which I quite enjoyed, actually. Bought myself some books and gum, and my parents bought about a thousand pounds of chicken meat. Had dinner at Famous Dave’s, really good ribs! We were that table that makes people regret leaving their homes.. over dinner, we taught each other how to do the super-duper-loud palm clap, whistle with your fingers, and told jokes about poop which had us screaming with laughter - which led us to retell the joke, and so on in a vicious cycle. The table next to us was a stick-up-the-butt pair of old white ladies that were soooo hating us - but hey, you want to hit a rib joint at 9pm, WHAT DID YOU EXPECT. When the pimps in the crib ma, drop it like it’s hot. S’all I’m sayin.

Am watching Conan right now - he’s in Finland bothering the natives, and right now a “native” dude is singing one of their traditional tribal songs… sounds a lot like the old tribal songs of the mountain people in Taiwan. Interesting, no? Now Conan is chasing reindeer while holding big antlers to his forehead. They are runninig away, honking like geese.

Oh, so I’m getting a new roommate, she is filipina and just about the cutest thing I’ve ever seen in my life, if I could smush her and carry her around in my pocket I would. So cute!!  I can’t wait until she moves in.
