The Weekend!
Monday, July 18, 2005This weekend wasn't nearly as busy as the last several had been, so I think I can squish it all into one post! Bear with me :O)
Friday -
Friday I kept the ball rolling a little bit by scoring a phone number! It helped that I knew the girl though ;O)
After work I got home and talked with Big Mike to see what he was up to. I knew of two friends of a friend bands playing at different bar a couple blocks apart, but wasn't really in the mood to go see a rock band and neither was Big Mike. After some short discussion we decided to head to Gashtof zur Gemutlichkeit's Mario Keller Bar. Gasthof's is a German bar with about 20 different beers imported from Germany along side the typical bar liquors. They have a live band till 11 playing classic rock and some polka and then a DJ after that.
Unfortunately Gasthofs was dead since there was also a big block party downtown that we had forgotten about. Oh well. It did pick up after the Block party ended but wasn't as good as Gasthofs usually is.
Shortly after we got there, Big mike left me alone downstairs so he could go outside and smoke. A couple minutes after he left I hear a "Hey You!" I turn and see Ex-Friend's Ex, standing there.
XFX was a good friend of mine's girlfriend our freshman year in college. They dated for a while and after they broke up I think he still pined for her for about 2 years. He always thought I had the hots for her, which, while I did think she was pretty hot, I never did.
Anyway, she's single I'm single, we talked of going out sometime. She finally has a regular weekday job instead of working on the weekends, so we'll see how that goes.
Mike came back down saw me talking with her and gave me a big thumbs up. hehe.
Anyway after we got kicked out of there Mike decide he was in the mood for the strip club. I successfully avoided getting a lap dance, which is amazingly hard when a cute, 5/6 naked girl sits on your lap. I actually didn't pay anything more than the cover whereas Big Mike ended up spending $85, which he regretted later. I'm proud of my restraint :O) Never did like paying to be teased.
After that we hit Perkins and finally called it a night at 5am.
Saturday -
Slept in. Got woken up at 12:30 by Conservative Girl. She convinced me it'd be fun to go out to the Hopkins Raspberry Festival. It's supposedly one of the biggest community festivals in the States. They had a little art show and a live band later.
The scariest part of the day? I have now become and antiquer. Yes, it's a sad but true fact. Since I found this 4'x8' hand paint MobilGas advertisement I decided the theme for my living room will be classic automotive advertising. The perfect place to find that? Antique shops. I did find a really cool framed 1934 ND/SD road map with a very cool picture of a 1930's Sinclair station and a 1928 MN license plate.
So yeah, if any of you find 1940 or earlier license plates in fairly good condition, lemme know. I'm now collecting!
Hung out with CG a little more after that, we never did go to the concert because it was in a tent and it was 97 degrees out. I tried to arrange to go out with Big Mike, but it really helps if he knows the secret code before i try to use it. Unfortunately when I told him while sitting next to CG "I'm going to call it an early night." he assumed I meant just that. Not what it actually meant in "I'm trying to get out of here ASAP, wait up for me."
After a ridiculously long wait for pizza, I went home and vegged on the futon since Big Mike was unreachable.
Sunday -
Two things got done: Laundry and a bonding moment with the Cute Veterinarian who lives below me.
I hadn't done laundry in over a month, so I had 7 loads to do. At an average of 45 minutes a load that's about 5.5 hours of waiting on laundry. What did I do to fill the time? Cleaned up the aforementioned MobilGas sign and watched Lord of the Rings - Return of the King Special Edition. That'll sure fill a day.
A some point in the midst of all this laundry The Cute Vet was letting her Cute Puppy outside and we started talking. I showed her the map thing I had bought the day before since it was still in my car, then set it down by the house to get the license plate out of my car. Now in the back of the house, there are two exhaust vents for the heaters of the two first floor condos. The vents stick out about 3 feet like a T on it's side. When I stood up from setting down the Map, I stood up right into it. It didn't really hurt, but it put a 1" x 1/4" gash in the top of my head. After the Cute Vet saw it was bleeding she asked if I wanted help with it, and since I couldn't see it on the top of my head I said yes. She helped me out and got it all cleaned and put Neosporin on it.
After some chatting I said, "Well, if you're as good with small cute animals as you are with big, dumb ones, you must be a heck of a vet!"
I plan on offering to take her out for a drink to say thanks for it after out Association Meeting tonight. That was definitely above and beyond being neighborly.
So yeah, that was the weekend in a fairly large nutshell.
For the record, I have a date for dinner again with Kickball Girl on Tuesday!

Wow. I do one load a week. I know I have more clothing than that but I rarely wear any of it. I think you're definitely going to be the glam one in our marriage. Nice work parlaying your injury into an opportunity to be a pimp. I'm very impressed.

Marie - It's amazing, it wasn't nearly as busy as the last couple, but somehow still seems like a lot. Cuties are good, I hope they keep coming.
Diana - Yeah, Like I said, not a big fan of getting paid to get teased. Not like I have any change of them coming home with me. I can get teased for free in bars... maybe less skin. but the same difference. She's definitely cute. i'd like to go out with her. Big Mike and I definitely need to work on our code. ate with any girls are good right now :O) -

Aurora - Yeah, see I COULD do one load a week, or I can do 7 in a month and a half. Heh. I procrastinate until I run out of clothes I want to wear. Slacking at it's finest.
I couldn't turn down help from a cute girl. And I didn't have to worry since she's professionally trained ;O) -

Just as long as it's not an 800 number. Those are usually phony, FYI
