The Dark Knight Rises weekend... fun times!
music: echo & the bunnymen - the killing moon
Recapping because I keep forgetting to blog. I've been tired lately and pretty busy so I'm happy. I feel like the days are full of diverse activities and I've been on a good schedule. No drinking or other crazy debauchery that I was used to. Hoping to stay clean, free and happy. Oh, finally went to Shake Shack Wednesday night and it was awesome!
Thursday: My dad, Molly and I dropped Jane off at the airport for her trip to Miami. We left around 5:30AM. I was still awake texting Pete because I was sooo hot. I then went to see him after I took care of the animals and then went to work. The work day was OK, busy but then I got into a funk and was just miserable. I went straight to Clark Park right after work for the Baltimore Avenue Dollar Stroll. Peter was with his arcade buddies but he joined up with me and we had a lot of fun. We got hot dogs at Green Line Cafe, pizza at Fiesta Pizza, beer at Queen of Sheba and chicken skewers at Vientiane Cafe. We also saw a few people walking up and down the avenue. Dahlak was pretty busy. It was a nice night, glad the rain stayed away.
Friday: Don't remember much about Friday except the Colorado shootings during The Dark Knight Rises and after work Pete and I used my Groupon at Lee How Fook. It was really small and busy but there was a table for us. We got spring rolls for appetizer and he ordered scallops in black bean sauce and I got the salt baked squid. The food there was really good! I didn't know it was a BYOB. Afterwards we just crashed at Clark park and napped until I went home.
Saturday: Had an early start to the day. Peter made egg and mushroom sandwiches and we ate them at Clark Park where they also had a Farmer's Market. We got cookies and bread and ate them in my car until we left to go to Rave to get free tickets to see The Dark Knight Rises. I was tired so we walked to Lovers and Madmen and I got a Milky Way Latte and we stopped at the new location of Locust Moon Comics. The movie wasn't packed and we weren't too into it at all. Peter was really into Catwoman but not much else. The movie was OK, though. I felt that the ending was obvious but a happy one. People really made a big deal about the movie. We went to Fresh Grocer for a bit after and ate sushi and Peter did some work for 99 Designs. It was time for the "Reinvention" party at Locust Moon so we did some mingling and browsing. Got hungry so we did dining days at Pattaya Grill. We ate there before and loved it but it was really cheap and the food was good and fast. New Delhi looked like it was packed and I wasn't really in the mood for Indian. Went to University Pinball for a little bit after then the night was over. I could have gone out again but I wanted to save money and I was also tired.
Sunday: Woke up nice and early for church and we got there on time! I also managed to walk and try to feed Molly before. After mass I texted Ren if she wanted to go with us to the cemetery so she said she did and we picked her and Antonio up. Didn't do much after that except walk Molly again. Waited for Pete to finish his work so I didn't get to see him until around 7. Had dinner at New Deck Tavern and then left to pick up Jane. Molly and Anne also went. Jane had lots of funny stories and got us shorts from Miami!
I'll post about Monday later...
