god it's late...
okay, so where were we?
yes, that fateful day...
- monday morning (7/7), 11ish am. woke up and packed, brilliant. went down to meet with the group. pat and susan had left earlier that morning. we decided that we should go down to monterey to have lunch (mark was the only person who wanted to veto that idea, but he didn't want to be anti-social, so he went along. i must admit, i forced him to go.), since it wasn't too much of a detour and we had time to kill anyway. that's our first mistake. mark, deidra and i took off from the hotel and several hours later, someone from carlin's car called... i think it was shawn, and told us jenny wanted to go to this restaurant out in the middle or nowhere. let just say after travelling for 40 minutes up and down the I1, no one was able to find the place. so with much agony, we headed back to the monterey aquarium (where we were suppose to meet in the first place) to meet up with the group. after a half decent lunch at bubba gumps (shocking!), we head back home. unfortunately, my navigation skills weren't up to the challenge, and we were forced to take the G16...
- monday afternoon, 3ish pm. damn, it's fucking hot in central california (mark apparently don't believe in using the air conditioning in his car. he's a crazy fucker like that). so we drove on the G16. if you've never driven on that country road, DON'T. okay, maybe if you're into the whole scenic thing and really, really want to see nature, then go for it. it was horrible. most of the G16 consisted of dirt roads without a center dividing line, that twisted and turned haphazardly. 28 miles later, we were on the 101, thank goodness for aspalt and center dividing lines. this is where we made our second mistake...
- monday evening, 5ish pm. mark suddenly pulled over. at first, i thought we had a flat. but we weren't that lucky. a female, highway patrol officer came strolling to my right, and asked for mark's license, registration and proof of insurance. apparently, mark had be driving 83mph in a 55mph zone. the officer gave mark a ticket and we went on our way. according to mark, the officer was driving in the other direction and busted a U-ewy to get mark. what a bitch! after that, the car ride was pretty silent. i didn't want to instigate any further misgivings so we just sat there and stared out into the mountains up ahead. oh, i should also add that throughout most of the trip down, deidra was napping, i have the pictures to prove it. and, somewhere in there, we went to a gas station to fill up the jetta. i got myself a choco-taco... which was pretty good.
- monday night, 8ish pm. since it was late and he was having such a bad day, i told mark i'll take him to king taco for dinner. we had dinner at kt, and this was another mistake. let's just say i had issues with the kt hot sauce for several days afterwards, and it was painful. so after dinner, mark drove us back to my place, and we said our goodbyes to this horrible day. the next day didn't get any better since we had to go back to work, but since my stomach wasn't feeling so hot (pun intended), i took a sick day.
all in all, i had a lot of fun being away with deidra, my friends, and seeing sandhya get married to the man that she loves. another thing, i couldn't believe that the whole wedding cost $28K. that amount is staggering... you can purchase 2 of the 50" sony plasma wegas (see previous blog entry) with that kind of money.
i'm in tv heaven right now. :) and tomorrow: saturday fever at MJR's and if it's not too late, my birthday dinner and why buca de peppo rules.
