Mega-update. Like, huge.

Hello, electronic world of awesomeness. I was negligent this Friday and Saturday, so I'm making it up to the gods of the interweb by offering a large, nonsense filled post in hopes of coming back into their good graces.

Let's get all(most) of the pictures out of the way first. I didn't take all that many, mainly because
I'm a bad person. I thought to myself on Friday that I would like to document the weekend but then it just didn't happen. Oh well.

This is the scenic route to my bus stop in the a.m. hours. Exotic, isn't it?

Friday morning before work, I listened to my new fave band, The Veronica's for the entirety of the getting ready for work process. It was blissful. They just really speak to my soul. I also enjoyed some oatmeal with pumpkin in it which I never would have done if it wasn't for Pam's awesome food blog.

The work day was alright, started off slow and then got really busy towards the end. And full of crazies, but what else is new?

This is the coffee bar at work. We're still out of coffee upstairs so I've been hitting up this classy little technological wonder the past few work days. My issues : It doesn't fill my cup up all the way, I like to drink LARGE quantities of coffee and I feel slightly ridiculous coming to refill every 20 minutes. The good points are that you feel really professional while using it and there are many different kinds of coffee you can order for it and it's super fast. I'm thinking if I order a box of something and test it out, I may feel content.



This is the awesome beer that Josh provided me with on Thursday night when we went over to Josh and Claire's apartment for dinner and the new episodes of The Office and 30 Rock. I thought this beer was so great. I love the bottle wrapper and it was very good. Thursday was really fun, Claire made eggplant parm which was very tasty. There are no pictures because when I'm focused on eating there is not much else that seeps through my brain.








Friday was my Dad's birthday so Jason and I headed to The Rob to celebrate. It was fun. My dad is so awesome. We did get stuck there forever though. And we were both incredibly tired.
On the upside, my mother sent us home with these cookie masterpieces.


My mother's side of the family is entirely Irish, while my father's side is entirely Italian. This makes for very intense holidays, year round. There's always really awesome food so I really can't complain.

Nothing else worth mentioning happened Friday night, it was pretty low key.

Saturday we had oatmeal with pumpkin for breakfast and then for some reason decided to see what She & Him sounded like, which consists of M. Ward and Zoey Deschanel. I wasn't sure what it would be like because I had heard really mixed reviews from friends but I really was into it. She has a really nice voice, a very 60's sort of vibe going on with it.

Speaking of music, one of my favorite bands, Saves The Day!!!!!!, will be coming to town on my birthday (April 29th, buy me presents!) and they are coming with Alkaline Trio, more awesomeness, right? My whole issue though, is that it's at Club Zoo? Which I suspect is actually what was formerly known as Metropol in the days of my youth.
Worst venue ever. You could never see no matter where you were standing and the entire set up is just shit.
The tickets are probably ridiculously priced as well. So I'm debating on going. It IS my birthday and it would be the second time seeing Saves The Day on my actual birthday. A few years ago we went to Cleveland to see them on my birthday, which was awesome.
Also, one of the original members of Saves The Day, Dave, recently left the band. I am saddended by this.
Bye Dave! I'm sure Saves The Day fans everywhere will miss you very much.

Oh, so Saturday, that's what I was talking about.
Well, we broke for showering and lunch eating and then met back up around 3. At some point we headed up Murray and wandered down Forbes and briefly onto Beechview. Browsed some stores. Were incredibly hungry.
At seven we headed to the Silk Elephant, which is a delicious Thai resteraunt with terrible seating and at least last night, terrible service. We went for Steph's birthday with a group of people. It was very nice. Except for the hateful waitress.
Afterwards we went to the cage, of course. It ended up being a really fun evening. Pamela came out for a bit too and I was stoked about that. I put old school New Found Glory on the jukebox for us and it was awesome.

Today, the day of rest, Jason made tofu scramble and it was very good. Now I am home.

And to end this post, here is Bob. Being studly, as he always is..
