Friday I finished work, and caught the bus up to the Brisbane Hotel with a work friend to meet people for drinks. We each ordered a weak crappy cocktail ($14 each) and then a double scotch ($20 each). Conclusion: the Brisbane isn't just a raging closet-fag bar, it's an OVERPRICED raging closet-fag bar. I'd organised to meet Ollie for dinner, so he met me at the Brisbane and we headed into Northbridge - dinner at Saigon, dessert at Il Gelato, and then we'd planned to sip cocktails out on the balcony of Connies and watch the sunset, but it started raining so we ditched that idea, went back to my place and watched Eddie Izzard instead :)
Got an SMS from Jason at 10-ish saying he was at Matt's place and they were about to get in the spa, so Ollie left and I caught a cab down to Matt's - his mum had bought me a pack of vodka cruisers, so we soaked in the spa and talked... until we realised it was 4am :p Crawled back inside (for some reason Matt's parents were awake), curled up on the couch and fell asleep. Woke up around midday, Jason and I headed off to his place and hung out there until his friend Ashley came over - went to Carousel for lunch, then headed back to my place and fell asleep at like 4pm (what a nanna i am!).
Woke up around 9pm - was meant to go to a birthday party but decided it was too late... talked with
boystrange who had just arrived that day, watched Intolerable Cruelty with family, slept again at midnight, woke up at 10am and was STILL tired! Jaidev dragged Jason and I down to play DDR at Timezone (what a workout!) tho Jason didn't play :p we ran into a friend who gave us the idea of going to the beach so we headed home and then out to Scarborough - sat in the sun for an hour and THEN decided we'd put on sunscreen so we were a little red :p But hopefully that will turn into a nice tan. Fell asleep on the beach a bit too! Caught public transport back into the city - Jason went off home, and I went to the gym for an hour, then walked to
kai_loi's place to watch Desperate Housewives with Helen, picked up Subway on the way home... and curled up to sleep sometime after midnight! :)
... Overall, a really good weekend :) Was great to get out and about, exercise, out in the sun, etc, see friends. More weekends need to be like that :)
