Best Weekend Ever

This has been the best weekend ever since I've been here in Tempe...and it's only Saturday!

Yesterday after class my friend Jacob (my only friend here) asked if I would go with him down to the Phoenix campus to take care of some pre-semester errands/business. I had nothing to do, so I went along for the ride. We took the light rail so we could time it. I'll be taking Chemistry this fall at the Downtown campus, so I thought it would be beneficial to know how long it's going to take me. This was all around 12:30.

When we got back around 2pm we decided to go to the brewery down the street for some pizza and drinks. By the time we got back to my apartment it was about 4:30. Took care of some business here, then we decided to see the new Batman movie at 7:10. Headed to the mall and killed about an hour. Dark Knight Rises was almost 3 hours long?! You kidding me!? The first hour dragged, then it got good...And I'm just gonna say it, but Anne Hathaway was hot! Seriously motivated me to work out more!

Well, after we got out of the movie we came back to my apartment and decided to dig into the Irish Car bomb cupcakes I made for my downstairs neighbors. As an aside, I also have a funny story about how I met my downstairs neighbors I will tell in a bit. I have a complete bar in my apartment. Minus the tequila I need to buy and a couple mixers, I have everything you need for a good night. I don't drink on my own and I don't drink more often than maybe once every 1-2 months. Well, after eating the Irish Car Bomb cupcakes, we decided it would be a good idea to make Irish Car Bombs. The only limiting factor? I don't have shot glasses. I don't even have real glasses. I use 2 mason jars to drink water out of. (Times are hard, man.) So we went on a wild hunt to the various liquor stores in my neighborhood looking for shot glasses to no avail. So we got creative and used lids.

...3 Irish Car Bombs later and we got into a round of drunken YouTube karaoke until 2:30 in the morning. Finally, Jacob left and I decided I needed a burrito. This is drunken logic, and very good logic. When you are drunk, you always need a burrito. It's a fact. It's science. Can't argue with science. When I got home (at 3:30 in the morning) my neighbors were on their balcony smoking cigarettes and drinking. They invited me up for a drink, and i accepted the offer. So I hung out there getting to know my neighbors until about 5 in the morning.

The best part? No hang over, fully functioning, and churning out lab reports as we speak. Oh and when I woke up, I found out grades for the last exam had posted. Guess what? I FINALLY got a high A!

Dropped my dog off at the groomers this morning, headed to Trader Joe's to do some shopping, ran my errands, saved the world and all that jazz. Oh! And the guy checking me out at Trader Joe's totally thought I was 23! Thank you Doctor Perricone!Now I just got home, and my friend Alvin text me saying Nekromantix are in town and asked if I wanted to go. I met Alvin when I toured with the Horrorpops, he now works for Nekromantix as their tech. Tonight's show is Nekromantix, Lower Class Brats, Casualties, and Flatfoot 56. Seriously stoked! Last weekend I saw Old Man Markley. I've missed these shows and it'll be good to see an old touring buddy.

The only way this weekend could get any better is if I won the lottery. :)
