last week

Had homemade burritos and watched Clerks 2 friday night. It was a total no brainer of a film, a bit overblown compared to the minimalism of the first. Headed out for a bike ride with stephanie saturday morning, and at about the 13 mile mark somewhere in Brighton, she got a flat. Of course we had nothing in the way of spare tubes or patch glue (plenty of patches, though), so I headed back to get my car and pick her up. On the drive back, I arrived at an accident scene just moments after it occurred. Some brainiacs were towing a hitch full of random junk going way too fast. The hitch started to fishtail, jackknifed, then the truck rolled a few times. The people inside did not seem to be wearing seatbelts because they were all rather bloody once they were pulled from the wreckage. The road was impassable due to the scattered junk everywhere consisting of plenty of nails, screws, and staples. The injured were being attended to by some other folks that had arrived before me so I split just when all of the emergency response crew had arrived.

Later that afternoon we picked up some floaty rafts and a bouncy ball and headed over to rizzo's pool with anne & heidi where we held court for several hours until hunger kicked in. We went back to the evergreens and grilled out before heading down to the scumdowner to sync up with joaquin. After some foosball action we wanted to go dancing so we stopped in both trilogy then euro 7 to unfavorably lackluster audio results. It was around closing time anyway so we hiked back to the evergreens and kept the party going for another hour or so before sacking out. Sunday was a wash, spent mostly on the couch.



Had dinner with the fam for lauren's b-day at casa alvarez monday night. They had just come back from some vacationing in south carolina. The past two nights I've been out running and exploring the new hood. Waneka lake is just past the school at the end of my street and through the other half of my 'ancient greek' neighborhood. The lake is 1.2 miles around and it has those little fitness stations where you do pull ups, stretches, etc, scattered throughout. Last night there was some party going on with a band and bbq. The ancient greekness of my hood is due solely to the street names - minotaur, sparta, delphi, angevine, etc. It would be cool if they had some mock ruins scattered about. Like a parthenon instead of a gazebo by the lake, maybe.
