Khines First B-day with Me August 08, 2006 03:14:15 PM
We seemed to cover a lot of stuff this short weekend. Her actual birthday is on the 9th but that didn't stop us from having a killer time! I left work early again, 2ish, and drove non-stop this time. No breaks or pauses, straight driving. I made it down there at 6:05.
FRIDAY
So after unloading the car and getting all unpacked, like the first thing we did was the b-day gifts. From me she got a tennis/raquetball racket, a pair of computer headphones with boom mic, and a card. Not too shabby :-) LOL oh yeah! almost forgot about this part, we started making a pizza right around then, but left it in the oven too long. Burnt to a crisp! It was only in like 5 min longer than it should have. Oh well, that didnt stop us from eating it. The bottom wasnt all the way burnt, and the insides were still normal, just the top was like eating pure carbon.
A little later, it was party time. One of her friends from the hospital just opened an art gallery in downtown C-ville and was throwing a dance party in celebration. So we dressed up and head out. Oh, and to get there, we took the trolly instead of driving so i could get drunk if need be :-) When we finally find the place, it wasn't exactly as we were expecting. It was sort of in the buildings basement, now it was a finnished basement, not dirty and dingy or anything, but MAN was it hot! Litterally, there was no ventilation and the people down there were sweating bullets. We only stayed long enough to see the art on the walls.
Since we were already downtown, we just walked up and down the strip. Theres always plenty of people and things to see. At one end theres this wall purposely made to write on with chalk. We hung out there for a bit and drew things on it. Just after that we were feeling slighly hungary again, so we walked some more and got some gelatos. Cookies and cream is soooo good!
SATURDAY
We woke up ealier than we normally do, I guess thats why it seemed like the day lasted longer. We started off getting breakfast at Bodo's Bagels. A mistake was made on the order so Khine got a free chickensalad sandwich on a garlic bagel. After getting stuffed on bagels, we walked accross the street to an asian market. Didnt get very much, just some drinks and a lolly pop.
A little later we tried to catch the trolley again, but it wasnt on time, so this time we drove to downtown and caught a movie. We saw Clerks II, and it was freaken hillarious! It was just as good if not better than the first one. It was also the first movie she and I had gone to see together.
After the movie, we went back home and took it easy for a little bit. We cleaned up and took a nap. Around 9pm it was time to head back out. This time for her b-day dinner. We ended up chosing Cheeseburgers in Paradise again. Always a good choice. Man and we really lucked out this time. Just as we got there, a band was setting up for an extra long set. At first we got far away seats from the stage, but i requested a closer seat, and we got it! we were front row! Such good music too, not just Buffet, lots of oldies but goodies, live music is so much better when you can sing along!
After that we realized the sky was actually clear for once. And since we're both into star gazing, we decided to do just that. We first went to the grocerystore for some provisions, ;-) and beer, back to her place for a blanket, and then to Lambeth aphatheater where we first hooked up for a night of stars! It was very nice, although the mosquitoes were a little out of hand!
SUNDAY
Ok so sunday we slept in a little longer that sat. I was gonna eat a normal breakfast too for once cause i had this craving for eggs, but i got something much better. Khine prepared a very nice traditional Burmeese dinner for us with quite a variety of dishes. I would have to describe it all as crazy spicy, very similar to Tai foods, but somehow more flavorfull. After that I cleaned up again and just chillaxed! We had an action packed weekend so settling down is always welcome. Unfortunatley though, my departure time came quickly. Had lots of stuff, Khine helped me carry my things down, and we said our goodbyes.
On the drive home, I was thinking the whole time how I wanted to relive that weekend all over again, so much fun!
