The Weeeeekend

… and a glorious weekend it was.

Sarah has already posted a fairly complete account of this weekend’s events.

First off, Yosemite pictures are up in The Gallery.

My Thursday started off with a fair amount of less-than-productive tomfoolery. I had to get some car care done, so I hopped over to Jiffy Lube, Kragen, David’s house, and Chevron. Thanks David for showing me (and then doing it for me;-) how to install an air filter! I got back to my house to pack at around 16:00, and took off for Fresno State at 16:08 or so.

I caught up with Sarah at around 18:45. We tried to hit BJ’s (insert normal jokes here – then continue reading) for a spot of grub, but got dissed by their 45-minute wait. We opted for pretty good fast food at Boston Market. A very tired Sarah and I made the trek back to Coarsegold where we watched Saved!. That movie is freakin’ funny!

We went to Yosemite the following morning. We stopped for some yummy sandwiches at Vons. I highly recommend the “Plymouth Rock” – a very Thanksgivingy-sandwich indeed. As I said, the photos are up in the Gallery. So go have a look… I’ll wait.

….

Ok, welcome back. Hope you enjoyed the photos.

We stoppped back in Oakhurst (if going Northeast: Fresno < ---> Coarsegold < ---> Oakhurst < ---> Yosemite on highway 41) for a sushi dinner at Oka. It’s refreshing to eat at a Japanese restaurant where the sushi-chefs actually speak Japanese. Sadly though, they (the waitress) misspelled “Arigatou” on the bill, leaving off the trailing “u” or “o.” I think that’s required in romaji, but maybe Erick can clarify? Anyway, I scribbled the “u” on in addition to a unintelligible “douitashimashite.”

There was some Love Actually upon our return to Coarsegold. I had only before seen snippets, small little disjoint segments of the movie. I really enjoyed it, even if I did make a few jokes about it throughout the exposition.

Saturday was good – slept in (0900-ish)! We got Harley (the dog) groomed… talk about a change – extra furry hairball to cute. The Incredibles is an awesome movie, we both recommend it I found that Sarah enjoys the fine art of DDR, which, while unexpected, is freakin’ awesome! I introduced Sarah to the wonders of BevMo! (my favorite store in the whole world), where I picked up a few bottles of Leninade, Mexican Coke, and a 750 of Yukon Jack.

We missed Sonic, although now I know exactly where it is in Fresno. S’ok, guess that means I have to head over there again before too long.

Unfortunately, Sunday brought upon our parting of ways. We luckily had a few minutes of time to enjoy our coffee and each other’s company at Koffeeheads. She, sadly, had to go to work and I back to SLO to study for a class. We will always have IM, though And on that note, we titled (terminology from E) each other that same night.

I suck as a story-teller.
