Birthday weekend went pretty well. Went with Katy to dinner on my birthday itself to a cajun place. They way over peppered the etouffee, but it was still pretty good. And they gave me free beignets for it being my birthday.
Had to work ALL day in pouring thunderstorms on Friday which kinda sucked, but at least it wasn't really cold out. Had a good weekend in San Antonio hanging out with my dad and friends. Went and shot pool with my dad and my youngest brother.
I've been catching up to my dad in skill on the pool table over the years...and he's really good. He's one of those oldtimers, cop no less, that grew up in and around pool halls as a kid. I kinda want to hold back some times...he's aged a lot in the last couple years, what with the cancer and all, but of course he just talks so much shit and still plays really well. I managed to win as many as I lost, so it was a good time.
My good friends in San Antonio are amazing. I don't have a lot of people that I hang out with, just my close circle. So they made sure I continued to over eat and generall enjoy my weekend.
I has a new phone! My buddy, Maria, helped my with the cost of replacing my old, nigh indestructible phone. I've been wanting something that I can actually comfortably email, text, and what not on. I use maybe half the minutes I am alloted each month, but I go over by hundreds on texts. Now I have a new cheaper plan with unlimited text and a new phone that lets me take advantage of it:
it's pretty slick. small enough that I can put it in my front pocket and not illicit lines of "hey, is that a smartphone in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?"
I likes it.
also played much Rock Band. Drank a little. Played with my friends' dogs and relaxed. Got some good motorcycling in.
which is good because apparently at 5am this morning-
SOME DUMBASS MOTHERFUCKING CRETINOUS SHITHEADS STOLE MY MOTORCYCLE
I walked out to go to work and it was gone. just the bike cover laying on the ground. I'm actually not seething as much as the caps/bold type would suggest. I am pissed off certainly...but it's just..ugh.
this flat out sucks. when I called in to the police, they quickly sent someone over to take a report. Apparently they already had a file open on it because someone down the street had called in saying that there were three men lifting a motorcycle into the back of a white pick up truck. They must have rolled it down the street away from my place so I wouldn't hear and then put it in the truck. The cops couldn't really know who it belonged to. At least they have that much of a lead, but the vast probability is that my bike is already on its way to Mexico. This same truck has been linked to some home burglaries in the area and the only time they managed to catch them, they were on their way there.
so...most likely....adios Z-Rex. thanks for everything.
gah. this sucks. so bad. just realizing how this could screw me financially too.
well...at least I didn't put those new tires on last week.
