Waking Up.

Its been one busy weekend for me. I took friday and Monday off and spent most of it either driving or Sleeping. Friday was spent driving down with a friend to LA to see a play, “Messiah Complex”. The long 6+ hour drive was interesting, especially since i havent seen the 5 in the daylight in a long time. Showing it to someone who has never driven down before was fun, especially when she kept being awed by the amount of cows and flat land.

Anyways, we arrived in La just in time for the play, which started at 9. We met up with Mantha and my father and sat in a tiny theatre with 4 other people. The play itself was funny and interesting; It did present some interesting things to think about, but nothing that hasnt flowed through my mind at some point already. All in all it was a good way to spend the evening. Afterwards the 4 of us drove closer to home and to Carrows where we grabbed a bite to eat.

Unexpectedely, this conversation held at a small carrows in Cerritos caught me by surprise. The topic, for the most part, focused on a subject Mantha can never seem to get enough about. our “beloved” brother. It was enlightening to hear other opinions on the subject, and of course to hear some updates on things that being 400+ miles away leaves me out of. All in all, my general opinion didnt change much; but it was the begining of a very thoughtprovoking weekend.

Afterwards we trotted off to Edwards Cinema to meet with Mila and chill and hang out a littlebit. It was fun while we wittled away the time, catching up a bit and just having a laugh or two. It all had to come to an end however, as closing time finally came and we headed back home. It seems however, that everyone believed the night was still young as i spent a few hours sitting with my mom, then sitting in the bonus room watching some anime and reading with Mantha, Mila, and my friend.

After a restful sleep which ran into the early afternoon, Mantha, my friend, and I headed out to run some errands. First we hit up a 1st birthday party for one of Mantha’s old schoolmates daughters. It was cute :) and the party reminded of my family gatherings of the past.. one of the many things i miss of my childhood. After being prodded into starting the food line, the three of us had a nice light snack before we rushed back home to pick up dad and take a trip down to Curry house. After a great lunch, we ran more errands around town before heading back home to get ready for the nights main event.

You see, It was my father’s birthday that day; and Mantha had made reservations for Lawry’s Prime Rib that night. A most excelent place to eat prime rib; as thats practically the only thing they serve. Haha :)

Oops; work calls.. so To Be Continued…
