What a long and lazy weekend.
I slept in on Saturday morning, after a night of too much sake with dinner. I woke up at about noon and went to satisfy a ramen craving with E and his roommate L. The entire morning was cloudy and gloomy so it was the perfect day for Daikokuya... until we arrived and I realized everyone in Los Angeles had the same idea. There were 23 parties before us! But Daikokuya is just one of those things... once you get there and smell the aroma you just can't go with any other alternative. So you wait.
As we did for about an hour. But, as always, it was worth it. It was a long lunch... I think I left at about noon and did not get back until 4:30. (Again-- where does all my time go)?
When I got home, Yona was getting ready to go out to her gallery show. I decided to put off all of my school/busywork til Sunday and took over the couch. I watched a few TV shows back to back until I was so tempted to take a nap. At around 8:30 I started getting ready to go to a birthday party with K. I toyed with the idea of flaking out and being productive and going for a run instead but I knew that if I stayed at home I would end up going straight to bed. So off I went.
First we swung by K's house, which was the gathering point for some of us leaving from West LA. I had a home-brewed Kumquat Vodka Screwdriver. It was... interesting. Then we headed off to the venue -- Isis Gallery in Inglewood. Yes, I went to a random birthday party in a warehouse in Inglewood. Couldn't even say what I expected.
The birthday party wasn't that bad. I thought it would be cheesy because it was themed -- black and white. The fun part was to see what everyone's interpretation of "classy black and/or white" attire was... definitely varied opinions. One girl was in a white tank, white super short-shorts and a gold belt. Another girl was in an off-white gown with a sheer shawl. Almost all the guys were in black dress shirts and black pants but there was the occasional white tie.
Anyways the party was open bar and I had countless "pink" drinks that I am convinced were NOT greyhounds. They were too sweet. I danced a lot that night, dare I say too much. I was sweating and it's never good to sweat in public. Yecch. It was a lot of fun though, there was a lot of good music. Towards the end of the night my stomach was wishing I kept closer tabs on how many drinks were passed on to me. We did stop by a taco truck on the way back which was awesome -- nothing beats a greasy carne asada quesadilla at 3 in the morning.
Funny thing is that I actually got home, took a shower, went to bed, and Yona STILL wasn't home. Last night was the first night that I came home to an empty house -- Yona is usually already in bed when I come home. (Her bedtime is 10pm)
So today I woke up at around noon. I lazied around the house and watch a lot of TV. I think. After a few hours of TV, I made a long to-do list of things I *had* to take care of today... like homework, blogging, housework, mopping the floor, giving Lulu a bath, etc etc. As I do whenever I have a long list of to-do's, I procrastinated and watched more TV. Stupid Kimora show, I must have seen at least 4 back-to-back episodes. Then I started to get stir-crazy. I decided to take my iPhone in to the Apple Store to get it checked out -- I dropped it on Saturday night and it started to act wonky.
So at 5pm I went to Century City. I was pretty excited -- I was hoping to get a replacement phone. In other words, I wanted an excuse to upgrade to 3G. I got to the Apple store 45 minutes before my Genius Bar appointment time but the guy let me skip the line and he looked at my phone right away. He turned around for 30 seconds, worked his magic, and my phone was fixed. Literally, took 2 minutes in the store. I didn't know what to do. I didn't even have time to be disappointed. I just turned around and went home.
Then on my drive home I started to think... what if Yona wanted to use my old iPhone. I mean her current phone sucks and she can't even text. Maybe if she NEEDED a replacement phone then I could upgrade and unlock my old phone and give it to her. That would certainly be enough reason to shell out a couple hundred on a new iPhone, right? So I went home, convinced Yona, and in a few minutes we were off to the Apple store in Santa Monica. =)
When we got home I set up both phones to get them working. (Yona is on T-mobile so I had to unlock hers to get it to work) Once they were working, we took a break and watched last Monday's Heroes episode, then I went back to the computer to finish playing around with my phone. Cleaned out playlists. Cleaned out photo albums. Downloaded a couple new apps. Made some ringtones. Downloaded some new music.
All of a sudden it was close to midnight and I realized that I did absolutely nothing on my to-do list today.

An 11 paragraph day doesn't count as being lazy. :)
What is lazy is my weekend "crashed out on couch". 5 words to your 949 (yes, I counted) -- now THAT'S called a lazy weekend.
Um, I meant to add *the.
