Down in Front

Saturday night was a movie: drive-in Indiana Jones and the Lost Ark at Half Price Books. Alberto, Jonathan, Pablo, and Ron came over and we went to centennial to buy lots of girly drinks that would both get us drunk and taste good all the while. Pablo wanted vodka, though. I don't know about Pablo sometimes.

"Once more, Indiana Jones, we come to find that there is nothing you can possess which I cannot take away."

Mid-way through the movie Phillip showed up and dropped off a bottle of wine and ran away, so I had to hide it for the rest of the movie.

Afterward we went to Denny's for the usual meal. Alberto brought one of those alligator toys where you press teeth down one at a time and one tooth will make it bite you. So that was our Monopoly replacement for the night. After that, we retired to my backyard with the cooler and lit the tiki lamps that would light. Jonathan only had one drink and left, he's still a beginner by choice. The rest of us became much unsober and discussed trivial things like relationships and reality. I tried Phillip's $3 orange wine which smelled like an icey pop. Promptly I spit it out and passed it around the circle. Everyone but Jonathan spit it out; I don't think he got a suitable amount in his mouth, or he faked it. I can't tell.

Yesterday, because it's now after midnight, I started going over what I've packed and Perryl came over with some sweet rice. We played Halo 1. Every time friends come over we end up playing the original Halo because it's all I have and it never gets old. It's sort of a tradition now. I should sell all that stuff while it's worth something.. But then all we'd have to play is the alligator game!

When Perryl ran off to get ready to go back to College Station, My parents and I went to eat dinner with Jonathan and his parents at the Meddlesome Moth. It's a weird dive with art and stained glass from the Hard Rock Cafe. Basically it's a place to get beers of all sorts and the food is sort of appetizer in setup. I think the chefs must have been tired because one of our dishes was served twice and we got two rounds of the same desserts, all for free. It's probably good that that happened because the bill came to $180 for six people. I have to say I haven't felt that full in a long time; it's kind of uncomfortable. My mom thought it would be Dutch treat, but then my dad kept denying them splitting the check even though he wanted Dutch as well. I really don't get them some time. My dad can be pretty ridiculous when he isn't allowed to treat people, or maybe it's when they want to treat him. Eh.
