Picking up where we left off...

Well, we successfully negotiated some good times with Johnbai on Friday night. Otis and I picked him up and went to the Crest, where we were joined by Soapy for a late showing of Volver, Almovadar's latest. It was not a bad flick, even though it had way too few half-naked Spartans for Soapy's taste. After the movie, Otis and I hastened home since we both had early mornings awaiting us; da boyz went off to god-knows-where to do god-knows-what.

Saturday held a bit more socializing. Otis had some appointments (although one was a cancellation), so I headed north and met with Stella up at LFP to do some more work on the database for her doctoral research. Dingo came by after lunch and treated Otis and me to coffee-an' at the Bus Stop Espresso down the street; it was quite the lovely afternoon.

For dinner, we tried a new-to-us local Thai place (Krittika, just on the other side of the freeway) on the advice of one of our neighbors; as we were finishing up our meal, our other neighbors came in for their dinner. Hey, we're locals!

Today held work in the morning (that grading and prep has to get done sometime) and more good times in the afternoon: Stella, Dingo, and E-ryk came by, and we all walked down to Wallingford to catch Namesake at the Guild 45th. The movie was okay, but the walk and the company were great. We'll put this weekend down as a win.

(Oh, yeah - I started my biking spreadsheet, too. It has a graph plotting my goal mileage vs last year's actual mileage vs this year's actual+projected mileage. Sweet! Now all i have to do is ride...)
