Weekend Recap
This weekend was Mr Iowa Leather. I think the weekend actually started on Thursday, but whatevs. *Shrugs* Anyway, here goes.
I popped my sushi cherry Friday night. And it was an actual date. A fella named George here in Des Moines. We went to Appare, a Japanese steakhouse out in the burbs. The restaurant was FREEZING!!!!! Seriously. I was shivering at the table. George did the ordering for us. Crab rolls to start then we each got a combo dinner. Mine was teriyaki chicken with california rolls, shrimp tempura and the little potsticker type things. YUM!
Saturday we went shopping. It was fun hanging around the mall and such people watching and going to Williams Sonoma and Pottery Barn. YAY!! I wish Des Moines would get a Restoration Hardware or a Crate and Barrel.
Saturday was off to the Saddle for the beauty contest, ahem, leather show. There were only three contestants, and one of them was a "straight" guy. One contestant won the title back in 2002, another contestant, which has ran every year, then the straighty. The straight guy won. He made some speech about wanting to "cross boundaries and stereotypes and show 'us' not not all straight people look down on us" What da fuck? It was sad. TO me leather is just another form of drag anyway. The bar was PACKED. Like too packed to walk around hardly at all. And my good friend Greg was supposed to come down for his birthday, but the interstate was 100% ice covered, so he didnt come :(
After the bar, George, Jeff and Jeremy and I went to the IHOP by my house. GHETTO!! The window at the booth we were sitting in had a bullet hole in it. Jeff asked the waitress for a recommendation and she shrugged and said "I dunno" Plus when she brought me my food, her thumb was in a part of my salad. GROSS. And the amount of young kids, like 10 years old, that were out amazed me. This was like 2 am. Granted, it was a Saturday, but still. And the waitress CONSTANTLY twirled her hair around her fingers. Just gross.
Today I didn't do much. Watched Silence Of The Lambs for the first time. I know, I know. LOVED Anthony Hopkins in it. Then watched Hannibal. Odd movie. But I 've been saying all day "It rubs the lotion on the skin" Much to George's delight. LOL. Greg called and we went to the Saddle where I gave him his bday card and gifts. I found these odd little wind up sushi toys at Wal Mart. Greg is a total sushi whore, plus i got him a Maxine card that talks...LOVE Maxine. The beer bust was lame, so then we all went to Cici's Pizza. Yumola and DAYUM cheap.
