We had a Mini-Thanksgiving at the apartment on Tuesday night and I cooked! Yes! Ok, so there was no turkey, but I made meatloaf and mashed potatoes! Awesome!!! Here's how it turned out:
Sorry that the picture is a little blurry, but you get the idea. It was MEEEATY meatloaf! People came over and there was wine. Ohhh good times.I went home to Dublin (yes, Ireland... NOT) on Wednesday afternoon, hoping to beat traffic. I was partially successful. The traffic was only bad on 680N and it only took me about an hour. That's pretty reasonable considering that last year, it took me about 2 hours because I left at normal rush hour hour. I had long ago promised Christina that I'd go to Tommy T's with her that night. Why? To see comedian Dat Phan perform! This was my second time at one of his events and it was only slightly different. We had dinner and drinks there while waiting for the show to start. And for some reason, Christina thought it'd be funny to say it was my birthday so that I'd end up onstage, making a fool of myself. She did make that happen. I'll leave that story for another day. Or never. Anyways, Dat Phan wasn't bad, just a bit repetitive for me (and only me).
Early Thursday morning (AKA Thanksgiving), Christina and I went to Hacienda to continue our yearly tradition of watching a movie on Thanksgiving. We ended up seeing Enchanted and I have to say that I really enjoyed it. Yes, I know it's a movie for children, but it's also a love story for adults! I give it two enthusiastic thumbs up and would recommend every girl bring their boyfriend to see it. I tried to get Chris to see it, but he wouldn't have it. What a lucky girl I am. Haha... I kid.
Thanksgiving dinner was fun --- and mostly the same as I detailed in my previous post. Read that, again if you must.
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday were spent relaxing and with the family. I attempted to go shopping at 5am for the Black Friday sales, but I really didn't find anything worth buying. I don't really need to get Christmas presents for anyone. I mean, the people that I do intend to get gifts for, I have some ideas in mind already. So, I didn't buy much on Friday and actually went home around 9am. The rest of the day was really lazy. I lounged around the house with my brother and did other random stuff like play Mario Tennis on GameCube. We had dinner at Macau Cafe, a new Chinese place in Dublin... can you believe that there is an ASIAN mall in Dublin now? Asians are taking over. Ohhh yeah.
Saturday was just as dull. Chris and I ate buffet for lunch at Passage to India. It was pretty good, but it's like how I feel about Palace BBQ Buffet... I am now sick of Indian food for the rest of the year. We also went to Palo Alto and played with Chris' new Garmin GPS system! At night, we went to downtown San Jose and were serendipitously surprised that Christmas in the Park was going on. They turned downtown San Jose into a carnival with rides and food and lots of Christmas tree displays. So festive!
Now, Sunday was more exciting. I convinced Chris to go with me to the SF Auto Show. And I was dumb and thought there would be a lot of traffic, so we took BART from Milbrae to the city. What a bad idea... it took us extra long and there wasn't any noticeable traffic in SF. Lame. Back on topic, the event was really fun because you get to "sit" in the cars and play with the features. I'm now convinced that I need a new car. On the top of my list is the Prius because you really can't beat its efficient gas mileage. I also loved the new 2008 Honda Accord. It's sooo nice... reminds me of the Acura TL. I sat in it for like 10 minutes and it was love. LOVE! Now I need to work on getting loan and finding a good deal on a car... yikes.
So there's that: a really detailed account of my life. This week is going by slowly as well. I spent all of Monday just catching up with random things and the rest of the week is up in the air! I am starting to feel the effects of being not busy. I feel lazy times 100. Ugh.
