So yeah, no surprise, the weekend went well. Friday night I hung out with Ming and just talked about life and stuff. Going from spending the majority of my waking time with Ming when we had our startup, to seeing him only on trips down to CA was a big change, and it is good to have him back in my life on a regular basis again. I should take advantage of Jennifer being away to get lots of guy hangout time with him in the next few weeks, since it has a different structure than hanging out with a couple... :) Heh.
Saturday was John's birthday party, and that was great fun. I spent the early part of the day doing some party prep, and the evening was getting together with the gang in San Mateo. We had omakase at Sushi Sam's and it was excellent as usual, then lots of hanging out socializing. Good times.
Sunday was more party prep, I got the patio mostly cleared of all the stuff that ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) lching333 had already sorted through, hauled more things off to the storage locker, and had one box disaster where a box fell over in the car, normally no big deal, except this one had loosely packaged corn starch (I think). So, white powder all over the back seat of the car, argh. Dinner at John's was delicious, Kris made pork tenderloin wrapped in rosemary and bacon. Yum. We also played some GTA:IV, and watched some farscape and burn notice. Good times.
Monday was BBQ! I finished clearing off the patio and getting things set up, picked up Steph from BART, repaired a leaky toilet, contemplated completely fixing the other one, decided to put it off for a time when lots of folks weren't just about ready to show up (but I will be disassembling that toiled soon, oh yes I will. Fear my plumbing skills!). Kris, John, grimicus, punoqlads, Ming and George all showed up shortly after, food prep began, and in relatively short order garlic burgers were enjoyed by all. lching333 made fantastic mojitos and orange julieses (both alcholic and non) all day long, which were very refreshing in the heat. We played a game of Vinci, Rock Band was played and conversation and good times continued into the night with coyo and fenowyn arriving from Burning Man after most of our day crowd had left. It was a wonderful time with friends.
Last night I made the wild guess that lching333 would be busy working on her contract gig and went up to San Mateo after work to hang out with Kris. 45 minutes desk to door, at just after 6pm, which is not bad at all for a commute, though odds are they will be down here soon enough. :) We hung out and chatted about life, relationships, horses, money, houses, and all that sort of stuff, then met up with John, George and grimicus at their favorite southern restaurant. The pulled pork was REALLY good, and the beer was tasty too (some sort of locally brewed ale that didn't have any nasty aftertaste). After dinner George gave Kris and I a lift back to her apartment and we handed her car off to Dan, so he could go back to work, boo. Kris, George and I hung out more continuing our conversations, then George left and Kris and I kept talking till too late, heh. :)
It was a conversation heavy 5 days! Which is a good thing for sure, though I really need to set aside a couple nights this week to do some writing for my contract gig, I've got a bunch of notes that need to be turned into actual finished text. Yay writing for Magic. :)
And yeah, that's mostly it. :P
