This weekend was pretty fantastic. It was one of those "not totally psychotic" but just "nice"
types of weekends. Fred and Rose came down from San Jose to visit and we just chilled all
weekend.


Friday morning Rose touched down and I took her to work with me. It was Take Your Sister
To Work day I guess. And dang, that girl was bored to hell waiting around for me. I even set
her up on one of the sickest design stations in the building, but she`s not much of a computer
geek, so even the best machine won`t impress her. To keep her from bi.tching all day long I
took off at 11am. We just went straight to the pool hall where we downed a couple of
kamakazi`s and shoot a couple of rounds in which I thoroughly got my @ss kicked by my kid
sister at 9ball.


Fred shows up on Friday night with a friend who he rides with in his S4. Yes, car nerds...not
that there`s anything wrong with that.


Saturday night we went to Opium Den. Ok, maybe this is the only semi-interesting part of
my weekend. Us girls got a little rowdy in our party mode and had to be told to behave. Wow,
how embarrassing. I love it! I love it when a guy is trying to talk to you and talks all BIG about
how much he makes and what he does. Tells you where he wants to take you and show you
all around town (yes, and I have been there too!) yet doesn`t seem to have a car, somehow
implies that you`d have to come up to see him and then when he asks for your number and
you say "well why don`t you just inputit into your cell phone," he replies with "yeah well i do
not take my cell phone around." Oh and better yet, when in an effort to get him off your back
without being rude...because God forbid I ever behave rudely...you say, "well why don`t you
give me your number," he busts out with a pager number. And it`s the kind with an extension.
You know...the kind that you can get on one box. Sure, alright...


Now don`t get me wrong. I am not superficial and don`t even care if you have a car,a cell
phone or any material symbols of money and status. But if you`re going to try to impress a lady
with those non-assets, at least make sure you can back that sh!t up. Dang! What the ----?!
That is just plain insulting. Good conversation and a pleasant demeanor, really, can go a
long way.


Oh, you`re welcome... :)
