summer is here!
summer has arrived because i have successfully gotten a sunburn and am riding my bike to work without a jacket and gloves now. score.
this weekend was again filled with boozin and fooding. rory and my friend emily came down from seattle with her boyfriendish guy and her roommate on friday night. we took it fairly easy and toured them to local favorites such as the horseshoe and sanchos. they were quite stricken by sanchos, but it is pretty fuckin ridiculous. i mean its a grateful dead bar and people just are all about being friendly, free love, and gettin smashed. fun times. saturday mornin started with hiking the gregory canyon saddle rock loop. it was sweet. they did pretty well as it was quite a jump in elevation for most and not everyone was used to that much physical exertion either. they really enjoyed the views and the different flora and fauna compared to that of the rain soaked much greener cascades. then we had a bbq that afternoon and it was great. tons of people showed up and there was still food left over. em had bought a salmon at pikes market there in seattle and they filleted it for her and wrapped it up in ice packs so she could toss it on the plane. holy shit that was some good fish. i even got a little piece saved that im gonna cook up and eat for dinner tonite..mmmm. i cooked up a bunch of fajitas and ems brother todd made ribs and then people brought lots of sides...and beer. most people went home but some of us went out afterwards and most of us that did shouldnt have. hah. we walked down to lodo and hit some of our favorite bars but had to split up in the middle of it cause some people had to leave to take care of others that were too wasted. red bull and vodka was the theme for those who were still out. damn. ended up back and sebs place and didnt go to bed til like 3 or 330. which sucks with my shit ass sleep thing where i just wake up early. damn sun. woke up at 730 that mornin and was feelin purdy nasty. some of met up for brunch and that was pretty fun and then we all met at a colorado rockies baseball game. the first 5 innings were cool but after they start relieving pitchers the game slows to even more of a crawl. good thing it was so nice out and i had a beer on hand. after the game we ended up at the chop house, kinda pricey steakhouse (pricey for denver), and had some food. i had the pork chop and ive done a lot better myself. but it was fun and i was dead tired and hungry so it worked out. yeah, everyone parted ways and i was in bed by 930 thank god.
monday sucked from lack of sleep.and the main highlight is i went to play volleyball at the ymca. they have pickup. it was pretty cool. i met a guy from hawaii named rory, and a group of asian kids who seriously had a rice cooker and were cooking rice. i had to ask and they were supposed to go to a party right afterwards and bring stuff. so yeah...but still thats fuckin insanely funny. oh and rory (of the rory,billy,heike trifecta) started her new job and now knows way too much about mosquitos. heh.
its long, so im done...
