Weekend activities

I have to say I enjoyed this past weekend very much. I had something to do the whole time, regardless if I was actually doing the thing I was planning to do at that time. The only real change of plan was my Sunday morning. I was planning on getting a little snowboarding fun in during the morning and come home during the afternoon to clean up a little bit and the sit down for an Oscar party even planned for our place.

Well, I ended up going out to enjoy a VIP booth at a local nightclub Saturday night, so sleeping ended up being the morning activity, followed by laundry, more Cocoa book learning, and the the Oscars.

I don't like to go out for evenings often, especially during the winter. But if I do end up going out, I must say it's much more fun if you do it right. Sure it's more than the typical $20 cover charge + $8 per drink, but it's sure worth it to be treated like the VIP I am. I couldn't see myself doing this often, but I can definitely see myself doing this again.

I didn't end up leaving until around 2am to go home, at which point I got a second wind of not being tired, so I stayed up a little while, being the cs kid I am, and knocked out a couple more chapters of my intro to Cocoa book.

Sunday was filled with much of the same, laundry - cocoa - laundry - cocoa - groceries - cocoa - cook for oscars - oscars preshow - cocoa - oscars. The highlight of the evening was Slumdog Millionaire taking the cake as far as I'm concerned. I'm a huge fan of the movie, and picked it to win all the way on our little pool, and I was right for 8/9 nominations. It was a suprise to my friends who haven't seen it, and an even bigger suprise to my friends that had. Apparently they didn't think the move was "all that". All in all, I won a bit of money to pick something I enjoyed and stick behind it 100%. It's not some epic "moral of the story" or anything, but it's something.
