David Vo’s Weekend
Friday – That night I went to a BBQ. Great company, awesome appetizers and yummy bbq meat, kegerator. Good timesd. We stayed a lot longer than I expected. Gave Green a ride home, then went to sleep.
Saturday – Went biking to the beach. Although the bridge repair was not supposed to be done til July 1st, I thought I’d give it a try. Let me explain. I really dislike riding in big roads because drivers are not very observant of bikers. Luckily, I can avoid this because near my house there is an entrance to a bike trail (ie off the street). Well it goes under a bridge (Hollister, scary) and takes you up to the other side. Then it connects to a main bike trail that spans from UCSB to Hope Ranch. Anyway, in the month of June they were doing construction so they closed it off. They said they’d be done July 1st. Anyway, last week I saw a road biker coming out of the bike path as I was driving home. So he either went around the gate illegally or the construction was done. I decided to try my luck and sure enough it was done! So happy biking for me.
Later that day I went to get food at Trader Joes and a Blenders. Yummy. That night, I went to dinner with Alex at The Palace. It was the best meal ever. Even though I had a tamale prior to going, I ate like a champ. I didn’t know I had it in me. We had Oysters Rockafeller for an appetizer. Two helpings of mini-muffins. I had an Arnold Palmer to drink and he had a Cajun Martini (spicy!). The main dishes were good and for dessert, we shared a dark chocolate souffle. The best part is we finished everything (well I took a bit of the pasta home), and I was full in a sickening way.
Jason and his roommate came up from Ventura to meet us. That was cool of them. They just had ice tea. As we were leaving, I went to the counter and asked the girl there if I could get some mints. And she started flirting with me, but not serious. What happened was I was asking if I could get some mints and she was giving me a hard time, saying that I couldn’t and then saying that they were $5 a piece. I am so stupid, I don’t realize what was going on. I thought she was giving me a hard time with the mints. After we left, Alex commented on it and I realized what I had missed. Doh.
After I dropped food off in the car, we went to Dargan’s. A few funny things happened there. First, a group of girls were there as part of their bachelorette party. And they were pretty drunk. They sit at a table next to us and out of nowhere, one of them starts taking our picture. And it wasn’t like a sneak attack either. She turned around and took the time to frame the four of us in and focus, then took the picture. We all sort of posed too because we didn’t know what was going on. Then they all thanked us. Later, I felt something hit me and when I looked down I realized that one of them had thrown a condom at me. Wow, that’s strange. So I gave them this “WTF?” look. They all looked kind of embarassed and said “Sorry, we are just joking around. We are really drunk!” I was dumb to give that look because afterward I thought of really witty and funny (to me) things I could have said that would have made good conversation starters. Ah, as is life, right?
Sunday – I went to Brian’s house and we went geocaching. Then we stopped at Scott’s for some relaxation. More geocaching, then home. Then I played some games, had dinner, and then slept.
Overall weekend grade = B.
