Tuesday of the Taco
Last Week I stayed in San Diego until Wednesday morning. This allowed me to go to Taco Tuesday at Fred's not once, but twice.
During the day I met my friend Liz from high school and her roommate Mallory for drinks. I didn't realize they had Fred's in mind until we got there, but hey I'm not going to say no to the $2 margaritas.
Later that evening Kristy & I had already planned on going to Taco Tuesday at Fred's, and so we went. This time in addition to the margaritas we had delicious $2 calamari tacos. Then Kristytoes and I went to The Aerobar, which is this quaint little bar near the airport. It was strongsauce.
This Weekend Kristy & I went to the San Diego zoo to see the hoglets -- three week old little African Red River Hogs. They were definitely cuties. We also found the Turkmenistani Caracals quite wakeful, and had to put up with certain other onlookers repeatedly remarking on how "cat-like" there were -- I wanted to throttle them while yelling "they ARE cats you nimrod!!" And the Ratels were cuties as usual but every 2 minutes a new onlooker would show up and say "oh look a skunk!" Kristy & I think there should be a "no dumb people" day at the zoo or something.
It turns out there are several of this Fred's place around, so I decided I needed to check out the one near me in Laguna Niguel. So I was able to roust up Eric Talevich (AKA citizene) and Alex Hughes for the adventure.
While waiting for a table I ran into my old friend Veronica Borrowdale (whom I met at the UCI MUN conference 2001). Since her friends already had a table and a half in the back corner she welcomed us to join them and we thus bypassed the huge wait. Inside I ran into my friend Lily, whom I went to both HS and Davis with.
After we had our fill of delicious tacos and margaritas (and chips!), Eric, Alex, & I went to a nearby bar where Alex had a friend working. Eric & I beat Alex at a game of pool but then she won the second one.

You're gonna have to deal with this huge picture, because they're too cute to reduce!
