This weekend... I met and had dinner at In 'N Out with three of Babe's friends who were visiting from the east coast. Played poker without real money with them for a couple of hours. Went down to Cupertino Village to get Babe's hair cut at Cali Hair. Read an article in Marie Claire, while waiting, about men cheating on women. Felt bad about cheating in the past. Got over it after venting about it to Babe. Bought a rose/coffee-colored striped dress, instead of the polka dot dress, from the BCBG in Santana Row. Felt guilty about how much I paid for it. Shopped at Valley Fair for some suit pants and a dress shirt for Babe to wear at the wedding. Saw a T-shirt at Hot Topic that said, "You laugh at me because I'm different. I laugh at you because you're all the same." Thought it was clever, but would never wear that on my chest. Ate dinner at Hotaru. Turned down going clubbing in the City. Played CS for the first time at TapEx with the guys. Had fun, but got frustrated in the end when we played a level in which all the weapons were on the ground and I would last an average of about five seconds before dying. Worked out for under an hour at the gym. Saw someone I thought might be Malou Nubla. Felt utterly blissful while listening to music and driving all the way out to a company picnic at the Little Hills Park in San Ramon. Boiled in the heat. Surprised myself by successfully keeping a 6-yr-old girl named Shruti company for a couple of hours. Stopped at my parents' house to pick up some mail from the IRS and the DMV. Checked out some of my baby pictures that dad had printed out. Hugged mom. Met Babe's mom. Had dinner with Babe's parents. Hoped that went well. Worried a little when they kept suggesting that he move back to Maryland. Got tired while watching Biography on Steven Spielberg on TV. Felt as if I've finally reached a point at which I could live alone without roommates. Typed this post. Ended this post.
