4 Days 4 the Price of 1 Blog

FRIDAY: Went to dinner at Lazy Dogs with Mark, Davey and Neil. The smothered chicken was good. I learned, through Mark, that when a pumpkin grows to about 1800 lbs, it runs the risk of exploding spontaneously.

SATURDAY: Arrived up north to visit Christine. We met up with Billie and Vivian in San Jose, where we shopped at Santana Row. Then Billie, Vivian and I went to the Winchester Mystery House and saw about 110 out of 160 rooms. It wasn't as scary as I had hoped... it's hard to conjure up spooky feelings when the mansion sits right next to a movie theater and across the
street from the shopping area. Sadly, I didn't see any ghosts.

Later, we drove back up to Christine's and played 80s Trivial Pursuit. It was quite mentally taxing. Then we had dinner and played more games with Paigie and Eric. Eric is a vicious player when it comes to spoons (or in our Asian version, chopsticks). His brutal tactics won him the game though.

SUNDAY: Went to Berkeley to have lunch with Paigie and Eric at a place called Angeline's. I had yummy Jambalaya and we shared even yummier
beignets.

MONDAY: Back to work. I tried Skittles Chocolate Mix and it's pretty nasty. I advise against it. At night, I went to Target, where I found the jacket I've been desiring since Friday. Score! My addiction to jackets is getting out of hand... Then I went to a Halloween store with Billie to look for costumes. She found some promising slutty outfits. I've narrowed down my choices to a Sailor or Hercules. Making my own Robin costume is just too damn hard! We also ran into Marie... it was just like last year's scavenger's hunt all over again. I can't wait for Monster Massive! Tonight I've also decided I'm going with Verizon. I can't wait to dump T-Mobile! I just have to figure out if I want the Alias or EnV2.
