Weekend Adventures of Ward, pt. 2: The modern miracle of late-night dining
Saturday, once I caught up on sleep (1:00), and did the typical things I do on any given morning before leaving the house (bathe, cloth, etc.), I gathered up my laundry and went to my aunt and uncle's to do laundry. It's a good excuse to get some quality driving time in (very therapeutic), get away from my area of town for a bit, do some reading, and often times I get dinner out of the deal, too. We went to this place. They've got their little microbrewery on site, and though I won't give it too much credit since it's a chain of microbreweries, I ordered the seven beer sampler (two ounces each, maybe?) along with my buffalo chicken pizza (disappointing—a bit weak on the hot sauce).
I came back to my place and had a choice between going bowling with Dan and co. (my concert-going friends) or going to see The Bourne Supremacy with Nathan and Melissa (of the Cellular and Molecular Biology program at school) and their friends. Since I was horribly sore from the dancing (maybe that'll discourage me next time), I opted for the choice that had me sitting on my ass for a couple of hours. The movie was thoroughly mediocre. I hand enjoyed the first one—though it was nothing special, it was entertaining enough—but the second one was just not particularly interesting or exciting.
I was supposed to catch up with Dan &c. at a bar afterwards, but he couldn't hear his cell phone, so I went over to Woodrow's to hang out with Will. He'd the door man there on Fridays and Saturdays, so it's pretty dependable that he's a) there and b) bored. I know the bartenders through him, and they're kind of cute, so it's not a bad way to kill an evening.
After they closed, we went for food. I had no idea that La Tapatia was open until all hours of the night, but it's really an exciting discovery. Bryan and Lisa recently introduced me to it recently; it's reasonably authentic, cheap, good, and they put these nifty little marinated carrots on the table with the chips and salsa. It reminds me of that place that's next door to IHOP in Waco. My quesadilla rocked, and there were leftovers for lunch today. The place was absolutely hopping at 3:00 AM when we were there.
I went to Dan's to watch Six Feet Under tonight, since my normal HBO source (Lisa) was unavailable. Win and Thom first turned me onto that, and though I think it's sort of been downhill since the third season began (currently in season four), I see glimpses of hope tht keep my watching (and sometimes driving half-way to Katy to see it). I'm currently doing my Wardlogging and enjoying the wonder that is Adult Swim. There's not a day that goes by when I don't say a prayer of thanks for "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" and "Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law".
Sorry about the relatively boring posts. I'll try to limit it to more entertaining stuff in the future, but I thought some background on my rockin' life here in Houston would give events some nice context. Until then, picture me dancing to make up for it. That should entertain you for a while.
