Hung out with Ian while he was in town during the first half of last week. Food was eaten,
Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs was watched, and an early birthday gift was given. Movie was great, I really liked it. The Father-Son relationship throughout was awfully heartwarming. Not to mention, the tech-unsavvy Dad reminded me of my own. Very cute. Bally Hoo's has changed as a restaurant, and I feel little reason to go there anymore for anything other than their bananas foster. They don't even serve gator anymore! What kind of a restaurant that brands themselves as a grill serves sushi, anyway?
James came to visit from Thursday night until Sunday afternoon. Watched the two last episodes of Eureka including the finale, the end of his football game, and had Chinese take-out for dinner.
Friday I had some work, of course, and we visited the Devil's Millhopper. The r
eal Florida. We were the only people who visited that day who paid (donated). For shame Devil's Millhopper visitors! Took him to Satchel's for dinner, since a visit to Gainesville isn't complete without one of their pizzas. Made it just in time to the movie theater afterward to see 9. Pretty good movie, although it was very short.
Saturday we went over to Miya Sushi. Ordered 2 pieces each of 蛸, tuna, fake crab, and 鰻 にぎり. Had him try one of each in that order. Apparently that was least favorable to least terrible. He said the 鰻 wasn't too bad :) Let him pick out a roll after he decided they weren't so bad, and he chose the black and white (surprise). Delicious! Drove over to Jen and Richard's to say hi and happy birthday. Gave Richard
The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe DVD as a gift since I didn't have time to stay. Dinner with the family: lasagna. Helped Mom clean up, then it was time for cards. James won Big Bertha and Apples to Apples, the former with my assistance. Watched Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy before bed; although, I think James passed out during the second half.
Sunday afternoon was spent walking around out at Lake Alice where we saw alligators and turtles. Actually got fairly close to an alligator before I realized it was there o.O After some D'lites frozen yogurt, James headed home.
Good times :)
Sis will be home in about 2 weeks. I can't wait! She's going to teach me to rock climb, as I've only ever been once and it was a very long time ago. I was thinking about us doing something together for our birthdays. Maybe do an interest check on gathering people together for a trip to Hall-O-Scream or something :) Oh, and we need to make our messenger ponchos! If we do get those going maybe I'll do that for Halloween instead of Rorschach. Ooh, we should totally get a Carvel cake for our birthdays too :D
Almost done with Persona 3 FES: The Answer. I should go finish that...
