weekend recap

so my weekend went something a little like this.


friday - had dinner with grachie, jt, and ducats at a really cool latin restaurant in downtown LA called Ciudad. the food was very tasty and so were the margaritas. great conversation and much laughter. then home to bed to prepare for the big move.

saturday - got up early about 5:30 (can't sleep in anymore), and tried to get some things organized for the move. went to pick up the truck and then headed over to grachie's so she could help me pick out a couple of guys at home depot for moving purposes. this was funny but a little uncomfortable. as we pull into the parking lot we are swarmed with guys waving and smiling to "pick me, pick me.!" you would've thought we the bouncers at some swanky club and people were trying to get through the velvet rope. so grachie stands up on the truck and points to two guys she thinks are up for the task, jose and cesar. they run to the back of the truck, i open the door and shut it behind them. i'm totally freaking out at the point because i know i'm breaking so many laws at this point point but i have to move. so the move goes pretty smoothly, and the guys are busting their butts to get finished. after we're completely finished grachie and sonj run over the store for beverages. they bring back a bunch of water, sodas and a 6 pk of corona. cesar of course wants a beer and proceed to chug that one and about 3 more in no time flat. in all my years i don't know if i've seen anyone drink one beer let alone 4 beers as quikly as this guy did.

saturday night - so after getting things somewhat unpacked, bed put together and kitchen in some sort of working order, grachie and i decide to head over to the Cave for a drink. of course i've not eaten a thing all day and the jack and cokes are just flowing. we run into an old aquaintance and his mate. both aussie guys, both cute, both straight and one is attached. grachie is kind of checking out the single one and we're having a good time chatting. we decide to head to another local spot and on the way we discuss this possible attraction for grachie. i tell her he's cute and all but we both are questioning the pegged jeans he's wearing. i make some comment about maybe he knows something we don't because he travels so much (something to do with bands), and we both just laugh. it's all about dibs with conditions. so we head to the other bar, have a drink and then it's time for timber to eat. we hit mcdonald's and head back to my new place. we ate that food so quickly it didn't have time to get cold. grachie ended up spending the night because driving was not an option at this time.

sunday - worked on the house a little more and and gave max a bath. then went over to grachie's for dinner. she made some incredible fish taco's and we seriously grubbed out.

for those of you who promised to come to LA for a visit, bring it on! I have plenty of room. and since i also hinted about train stories, that will have to be in the next segment. have a great day and keep reachin' for the stars!
