Long Weekend |
I took a short trip to Ruston for a long weekend over the past few days. I left work early Thursday afternoon at about three. Krystle and her mother picked me up from the office to head up to Ruston. On Friday, Krystle and I had lunch with Khadijah at Applebee’s and later saw the 9:45 showing The Dark Knight.On Saturday afternoon, I went with Krystle to meet some of her friends at a Mexican restaurant until Khadijah picked me up so we could go to dinner. We went to a place called Cicero’s that wasn’t bad. After dinner we went back to her house and talked for a while before I got back to Krystle’s place at ten. On Sunday, Krystle and didn’t really do much or go anywhere, although a short trip to get butter for a dinner dish turned into an unnecessarily melodramatic mess of a fender bender. Ultimately, dinner was pretty damn good. Krystle cooked steak. Krystle and Drove back to New Orleans on Monday. We left after one in the afternoon. We stopped for lunch at the Olive Garden in Monroe. We stopped again in Brookhaven, Mississippi to visit Bianca for a couple hours. She cooked dinner for us and we talked until we left at about 7:30 to go the rest of the way home. We got home at about 9:30.Before Krystle left to head home on Tuesday, we stopped for lunch at Liuzza’s. Dad asked us to stop for something at Rouses before I was dropped off at the office. That evening after dinner, I went out with Andrey, Patrick and David to Nine Roses again. I wasn’t really hungry but I ordered some sweet and sour pork anyway.The rest of this week has been pretty uneventful. I don’t have much to do at work. I’ve spent some free time with my VAIO Picturebook. I finally got a CD drive for it so I was able to install Windows XP. It runs well enough but a lot of the Sony-specific functions still don’t work after considerable prodding so I’m going to try and get some recovery CDs.
