a theme developing

I sense a theme developing that whenever I want to sit and blog I'm usually feeling too tired or too pressed to get to bed. Tonight is more the latter since I slept in too long this morning.

It was a good weekend. Took Friday off to hang out with Kim and Linds. Spent more time in the city but had my picture taken with a real Oscar, bought fancy chocolate, ate a really good burger and had a lot of fun at a bar called English.

The drinks were affordable, the waitress was really attentive and Kim was nice and toasty - just as she should since she was the birthday girl. The toughest part was documenting it effectively since there was really zero light. But, with a candle nearby or some TV in the background I made it work the best I could. Feel free to check them out by going here.

I'd go back to that bar if and when I end up city-bound again. Next time I'll avoid post-bar McDonalds trips :)

I think that's about it. The last two days have been lazy and wonderful.
The Oscars were predictably surprising.
And...it's one week until I start my new gig at work for 6 months. That's excitingly terrifying - we'll see how that fares itself over the summer.

And just for the hell of it, here's the picture of me with the Oscar. I stumbled upon the place when I escaped into Nordstrom to warm back up. I figured...I'm by myself and it's free...so, why not? I'm also, proudly, making one of more stupid faces. I was going for "surprised" but it came off as pretty queer. Oh well. The one thing I did learn is, the Oscar really is heaver than you think it's going to be. Here's to a great week and hopefully a fast one as well. I always love the weekends more than the work-filled week.
