Weekend Adventures
Thursday: Rockin' performance by the Lone Strangers at the Bali Satay House. It never gets old. Stayed long enough to hear one karaoke performance - a passionate version of Total Eclipse of the Heart. And by passionate I mean a quite gruff and grumbly voice with a few explatives thrown in. Evidently it was done that way in Old School by The Dan Band.
Friday: ISU interview. Parking ticket. Went back to St. Olaf for the first time since graduating. Parking ticket. It was a strange but awesome feeling to be back on campus as a non-student. Hanging out with friends again was wonderful. It was like nothing had changed in three months... other than Justin growing long hair!
Saturday: Went to Jordan, MN to see the coffee shop/bookstore where Laura works. It was an extremely cute small-town shop filled with homemade cards, jewelry, and baked goods -- eerily reminiscent of Kathleen Kelly's (Meg Ryan's) Shop Around the Corner in You've Got Mail. My iced latte was expertly made. Also visited the dog and cat (Bailey and Shadow) for whom Laura was sitting.
Made it back to Ames only to learn of an outing to Batman Begins. Couldn't refuse. It was action-packed with a decent plot. The dialogue was a little lacking, but overall it was quite entertaining.
Sunday: Church at Stonebrook. Lunch with friends. Stopped at my grandma's place on the way out of town. She's moving to Lincoln this week and is also giving away a lot of her things, which is obviously hard for her. She has given me some things, but they don't have the same memories for me. It was good to see her again, though.
Monday: Slept in. Ate lunch. Took a nap. Checked the mail. Learned that Diet Pepsi tastes funny after chewing mint gum.

I like how in batman begins his voice suddenly gets really raspy whenever he's in the costume. LAME. (but an amazing movie) And good call on The Dan Band. It's hard not to laugh at those guys...even with all the explatives.
