This weekend was pretty awesome.
- Friday night, Kirk and I went to Beana's, this local Mexican place that gives us ENTIRELY TOO MUCH GOOD FOOD, so we always have leftovers. There's also always a supply of strange customers with silly conversations. This time, a man and woman saw our enchilada and the woman went ballistic! "That's what I wanted! That's what it's supposed to look like! THAT'S what I wanted to order!" "Um, an enchilada?" "Yeah, that's what I ordered!"
- Saturday was just supposed to be quick errands, but involved running to two craft stores that were pretty far apart(A.C. Moore and Michael's), 2 comic shops that were similar distances, and then hung out in Barnes & Noble at least an hour (long enough for Kirk to read through
The Exterminators and me to skim
the second Penny Arcade collection). I also finished off a caramel apple cider from Starbucks while there. mmmmmmmmmm.
- We also ate at this place called Fresh Squeezed, which sounds like a smoothie joint, but is a little healthy eatery next to a NYSC. I had what I consider to be pretty much the BEST WRAP EVAR there, and a purty damn good smoothie too. The wrap was a "Cubana", which is grilled chicken, rice and beans, tomatoes, onions, monterey jack cheese, sour cream, AND PLANTAINS. It's like a burrito, but SWEET. Heart.
- Saturday night we stopped at White Castle to get dinner (I've had a hankering all week, and Kirk's always up to storm the castle), and discovered they have a meal where you can get 18 and a sack of fries for $9.99. SCORE! Many burgers were eaten, and many "Hey honey! I'M HOLDIN' YER SACK!!!" jokes were made.
- Sunday was a day of sloth and leftovers. We sat around all day and watched movies and South Park and anime and MST3K and ate all our bits and pieces of meals from the two days before. I cleaned my room and organized my
yarn stash. Another round of cleaning will be needed before Thursday night, when my parents are coming up for surgery visitation. Like reorganizing sensitive materials into the hatboxes and pushing things into the back of the pyjama drawer.
- This morning, I had to undergo Pre-Admission Testing at JFK. They gave me a little patient bracelet for reasons unknown to me - they drew blood, took my blood pressure, and told me not to eat after midnight. Maybe they thought I'd try to escape. Whatever. I kept it on most of the day out of laziness and a desire to look like I had gone to the MOST AWESOME CONCERT EVER (especially when coupled with the bloody cotton ball taped to my inner elbow).
- Tonight is anime night with the lovely
jaina. Do not disturb us! HAM!
- Started yet another project:
The Pirate Queen's Booty Bag. Yarr. Also picked up the current Vogue Knitting, which has an awesome Sudoku patterned blanket. EEEE!
