Hey there bloggies,

That time of the week has come again. You know the time. When I feel that I haven't updated all you fine people on anything for quite some time, and then I go on a rant about this, that and the other thing. So, without furthur ado .....
The crazyness that was me partying it up didn't slow down this weekend like I had expected. First of all, work this week went by fast because we were doing a lot of painting in a new room we are making into a processing lab. Such a great job for a electrical engineer ... you know, especialy since we had to upset some union guys to do it. It turned out well in spite of this though, and I don't think anyone is complaining. I decided to cut out of work early on Thursday (Early being 1:00 ..... suckers) to head into Harvard Sq. Once their it took me about 40 minutes to figure out where the hell Brattle St. got to, but once I found that what I was following was a ghost made by shops, which ran for more than a block, I had no trouble. Once at the Brattle Theatre, I bought a ticket, and prepared myself for watching the entire, uninterupted, epic which is Kill Bill. Very cool theatre, even though they are a bit pre-ocupied with ninja's.
The next day, I went with Matt to see the L.O.T.R. exibit at the Museaum of Science. It was cool, and afterwards we hung out in the blue wing. Matt then went to meet up with Bill to see the new exercist movie (I knew it was going to suck, so I decided against agreeing with the Infalable Bill). I met up with Chuck and Steph, and we ate at Boston Beer Works. A very cool place (They had a blue berry beer, damn it!), even though its a bit on the expensive side. We then headed over to Nicks Comedy Stop. The normal room was under construction, so they had it at the gay bar next door (I shit you not). The show was amazing, and all of the commedians really were great (inspite of a maybe half hour BJ joke, where the guy was doing all of the actions and sound effects). After the fact I don't remember most of the jokes, but I know I was laughing a lot.
Saturday started out slow. For lunch my grand parents took us out to Kalhoons (I really don't know exactly how to spell it, but it was on rute 1 if any of your care) for my parents 23rd aniversary. I had to work rather hard to avoid the Chineses food that was cooked in peanut oil. The inside was a bit of a combination of a south asian boat, a volcano, and a polonesian island at dusk (or dawn, I couldn't tell). I drank a lot of tea. We then came home, and I changed into my non-fancy, paint splattered clothes. Then I headed into Boston to meet up with Steph and see Garden State. The movie was amazingly good. I laughed (a lot), I cried (when no one was looking), and I sneaked up on Marc G's sister. Afterwards Steph and I walked around (through the north end to the fleet center) and talked quite a bit. We then went to the Boston Beer works that is right there and bought a quesadia and a few beers (Have any of you heard of watermellon flavored beer??!?). That night then ended after I came home with me obliterating some virus's which infected my computer, which had the gall to be named the acronism for Downloading is Piracy. God Damn it, give me a break.
Sunday started with me waking up groggy at noon. We then headed on over to a pool party. This was the last year we are going to have it. It was always organized by an older woman named Mimi, but she past away a month and a half ago. Oh, and for the record these people arn't related to us, but are infact (try not to let your brain explode because of this) the relatives of my grandmother's, sister's, husband's, cousin's, husband's, sister. Eh, we're all from Fallo, thats enough like family. So, we hung out, swam, and ate (Oh, I ate so much .....). I talked with my second cousin about his new band (There was a link here, but something happened), I angered hornets, and I drank quite a bit of wine. Afterwards I watched the egg toss (my poor second cousin Matthew [he must be 6 I would think] got clocked right in the head with an egg, and he was wailling until we hosed him off. He was fine), I took part in the waterballon toss (I just had to catch the balloon one last time and we would have won, and it caught me right in the chest), and I was kicking some serious ass in Bocci but I still ended up in second (Damn the contours of that LAWN!). Then it was home to you fine bloggies, and to do my regular Sunday self Improvement.
It was a long, and fun weekend. I hope you all had a great one, and enjoyed my epic adventures. Drop me a line if you got a chance.

::Wow, what an enormous Freaky Deaky Teaky::
