Wednesday night's union meeting was one of the shortest ones ever, thank the Lord, with a running time of less than 55 mins. That meant I had two or three extra hours free which was a welcome respite.
Thursday night was a good time - me and Azure-Dee used my 2 for 1 coupon at the Rainbow. We got there early so we decided to kill time with a game of pinball, something I don't get to play too often. I wish I was enormously rich and could afford to get one of those machines because they are super fun to play. The flick we chose to see was Matchstick Men, which was a great show and one I highly recommend. Nicholas Cage is not an actor I will usually stick up for, but the movie was very quality, including his performance.
Friday night it was poker night again at Brad's, this time with a bigger crowd. All in all me, Brad, Jerrod, Blair, Tyler, Ryan M., Mike, and Chris all had a great time. I was up until something like 6AM and had a blast. By far the highlight of the night was the hanging of the light over the table turning the garage into a real backroom poker hangout!
The next day was not so fun as I paid the price for my fun the night before in the form of throwing up half a dozen times. By the time supper rolled around I was good to go, though, and came back home to watch my copy of The Two Towers Extended Edition. Mike came over and joined me for most of the show, and it was a great one. I loved the new additions to the show, although there wasn't anything too major. A few important plot points from the books were added, though, that really made it better in my eyes. Me and Mike ordered pizza and stayed up to watch some classic SNL before hitting the sack.
Today I took it easy and hung out around the house. Since I'm leaving for Mexico in under a month I've got a lot of things to get done before I leave so I tried to make a plan for that today. Blair came over tonight and we tried to get his firewall going again to no avail, so I'm going to have to keep working at it this week. Other than that, I've got a board meeting on Wednesday. I hope that's all I have to do this week - all I know is I can't afford to waste another weekend like this one!
