Vince & Tynia's Birthdays
Friday night, a big group of us went out to Top of the Hill to celebrate Vince's birthday. When he got there, we all gathered around, loudly sang the happy birthday song, and generally made a spectacle to try to embarrass him. It was his 24th birthday, and it was March 24th. At midnight, it was officially the 25th, and thus Tynia's 25th birthday. She tried to sit down while we insisted on singing for her, but Andy and I picked her up and made her stand up. I think she was a bit more embarrassed than Vince. ;-)
Saturday, another big group went to Spice Street (a restaurant) to celebrate Tynia's birthday before the big party they were throwing. I got Tempura-style catfish with black bean sauce for like $17. I don't think it was worth it. I mean, I'd rather have a burger from Sutton's or a Burrito Bunker burrito any day, and it costs less. I've decided there is probably a correlation between restaurants that value the presentation of food and restaurants I don't like too much. ;-)
The party started shortly after that. Mike got a keg, and there was sangria, jello shots, beer pong, and flip-cup. As always, it was a blast! At first things were ominous, because the tap that came with the keg didn't work, but Mike ran over to Harris Teeter and got another one. Oh, and Vince's friends from Virginia are pretty darn cool people and are fun to talk to.
Today, I ate an unsurprisingly delicious meal of biscuits and gravy at Elmo's Diner with Jason, Sarah, and Jeff S. (who's in town for a couple of days). I then dozed and watched UConn lose to Cinderella-story George Mason. Later, I went over to Jason and Sarah's to eat, hang out, and watch a couple of episodes from season 1 of the Sopranos. Good times, good times... ;-)
