My Richmond Weekend

Alrighty. So my weekend started on Friday when I left work early to catch my bus and pick up Magnolia cupcakes for my friends in Richmond. I caught the bus and made it into Richmond around 1145 pm. Shelby, Julia and bopped around a bit before Phil and Kelsey got out of rehearsal. I stayed up till about 4 catching up with people before passing out.

On Saturday I got to sleep in (finally) after a week of really bad sleep. We lounged around and watched Meerkat Manor before grabbing some lunch. Went by Velocity and picked up a comic or two. I miss the familiarity of the people that work there, but I like the ease of finding comics at the one that I go to now, called Cosmic Comics. Anyways, after that I met with my dad and we hung out in Carytown for about an hour. I bought this card game called Lunch Money (essentially the point of the game is you're in a fight with people and you must beat them up.), then headed back the the apartment where we watched all three Back to the Future movies. Which I hadn't watched in a million years. Then Shelby and I enjoyed a beautiful sunset out on Julia's balcony

After we all got done doing whatever we were busy with during the day. We ordered some pizza, got a little drunk and watched The Office. Around midnight or so we all traipsed over to the Hookah bar down the street where we were treated to a ginormous hookah! When we were trying to pay they tried to charge us for getting this mondo hookah even though we didn't ask for it. After a bit of haggling we got the price to a fair amount.

Everyone but Shelby and I went to bed. We talked for a little while then put in The Royal Tenenbaums which Shelby had never seen. Around 4am we began to doze so we decided to finish up the movie the next day.

So the next day was a little like the one before it. We got up. Putzed around and went and got food at Qdoba. After that we can back to the apartment and chilled until my mom, sister and grandmother all came to visit me and go get some food. I had to say good bye to Shelby which was sad but I will see her again at xmas. We went to this amazing place (at least to me anyways) called Galaxy Diner. I had fried oreoes for dessert. It was like heaven in my mouth! They left after that and I went back to the apartment to study for my Film History midterm that was happening later in the week.

After Phil got back from rehearsal we recorded a podcast (like re posted below), and I would like to apologize for Phil's dirty mouth. After that we played a little Guitar Hero before going to bed for the night. I said my goodbyes then because I had to leave at 630 the next morning.

I got up and Billy drove me to the stop. There wasn't many people on the bus so I was able to catch a little sleep on the bus. Which was no small feat on to itself. Because buses are designed so that the occupants can't sleep comfortably. Its a scientific fact. Seriously, try and sleep on a bus, you can't do it. But I figured out a super secret way of doing it.

We made a few stops to pick up more people. And by the last one the bus was at capacity. So I had to give up my two seater. Damn!

I got back in the city around 1pm on Monday. Then went straight to class at 3pm.

The last few days have just been school and homework so nothing overtly interesting to report

I did go to this comedy show at a bar called Heathers. It was a bunch of different comics and was hosted by someone I met while shooting the commercial. It was alot of fun.

I'm shooting another group project this weekend. And hopefully that goes well. I'm going to finish my script tonight and post it later. So check back for that.
