Well this weekend is officially over, and in 5 hours from now I'll be waking up and then leaving for disneyworld (yes, 4am wakeup call). Ok, here's how my weekend went down:
-----
Friday: half day of school, so i had an extended friday evening. i ate lunch with neal and kyle at the taco bell, then we went and got ted and went down to derek's "plantation" (they have a very wealthy family) in escondido to practice a few Christmas tunes in a brass choir. Afterwards, ted came over for a little bit so i could show him the progress on "lobsters" and listen to the homestar runner cd. ted went home, i went out with neal, kristin and laura. neal was having car problems so we picked them up late. we had to drive around in his little red bug that made loud noises and was all jerky... i sang the space mountain theme song because i thought it was appropriate. everyone else didnt...
we ate at toms burgers. i haven't the slightest idea why. afterwards, we went to my house and watched minority report. im not sure if laura or kristin enjoyed the movie very much, but i think they enjoyed themselves in general. took them home, drove around for a little while with neal. then went home.

Saturday: i woke i late, so i didnt have a chance to go christmas shopping like id hoped. i went over to dereks at 3, warmed up a bit, and then went out brass caroling with brass choir. the families loved the surprise. went back to dereks at around 4:30 for his christmas party. a lot of old band alumni showed up. it was great to talk to such people. brillo came down from davis and brought his girlfriend. she is a very nice/pretty girl and they seem very happy. im happy for them. everyone talked around the bonfire for a while, ate for a while, talked in the jacuzi for a while, and then talked in the living room for a while. my kinda party- no energy required. went home at 2 am. fun stuff.

Sunday: again, crapped out on christmas shopping. no negative consequences though. i went down to the house o' hawley at 1 for jonathans christmas party. there were more than just bandgeeks there, so that was neat. i saw mary austin, an old friend i hadn't seen or talked to in a while. that was a pleasant surprise. the party itself was very fun. we played a very exhuberant game of cranium, and afterwards i spent most of the time talking with people. laura and kristin were there, so we somehow managed to work out another movie night for after the party. got together with neal. we were going to go eat pizza. somehow...we ended up at a strange mcdonalds... in oceanside...that had gamecubes in it. again...i haven't the slightest idea how we ended up there. we drover around oceanside...i started ranting and raving about disneyland socialism and the corruption in the annual passholder system...i kinda freaked out at one point...scaring everyone....not my proudest moment. we went to my house, watched pirates of the carribbean. they enjoyed it more than minority report i believe. we also watched the "Potter Puppet Pals", some online flash cartoons, very funny. ill put the links at the bottom. took them home after that, then i went to 7-11 with neal proceeding our usualy random drive around town. i went into 7-11 wearing no shoes. dont ask. i left 7-11 covered in cherry slurpee. dont ask.

TODAY: ok then...well im leaving tomorrow so even though today wasn't the weekend, i can get rid of every last lurking detail. today was weird day. i finally did my christmas shopping. first i took my dad to the bank, which was conveniently located next the the mall, providing all sorts of traffic mayhem. i was stressed and hungry, so i went to in n out as soon as my dad was finished at the bank. i saw scott there, it was nice, i havent talked to him much recently so it was a cool surprise. he was very busy thogh, there were for some reason hordes of customers. more than id ever seen there at one time. i ate my 3 x 3 and fries, became instantly tired, but continued my day to fry's electronics. bought my sisters video games for christmas. they always like that. i went to sav-on and bought 6 disposable cameras for my trip. i went home, wrapped presents, and then realized i needed a present for my mom. i ended up at target, and saw neal and kyle there. and tanya shannon. and catherine circo. ::weirded out:: anyway. bought her a cd. went back home. we ate some pizza and then had our pseudo-christmas morning and opened presents. it was fun. later, i had two very pleasant phone conversations. one was from lona, calling from disneyworld. it was really cool. she had a fun trip. shes going home when im leaving home. funny how that works. the other conversation was with laura. if you want to know how that conversation went, ask me.

I think that covers just about everything. I've got everything packed, I've got a clear head, I'm ready to go. I'll be adding a trip report to my "random stuff" section of the site when I return. Fravit Monk over and out.
