-Galveston(long time ago, I know!!): a weekend in which we hung out at the Hotel San Jose outside bar which was really cool, saw a bunch of red hat ladies, sat on a giant chair, went on a not-so-scary ghost tour with the craziest guy, Dash Beardsly:
We did learn on the ghost tour that all Galveston buildings are old and very creepy, and if ghosts exist, they most certainly would be lurking around Galveston.
-I've been enjoying work at the Alamo Drafthouse, just making some trailers every couple of days. Nothing too different or exciting from what I started doing. I think i'm pretty good at it. Hopefully my boss agrees. Van-if you're ever wanting to see a movie and want to go to the Alamo Westoaks, you can see my He-Man christmas "book your private party at the Alamo" ad before the movie!
-Darian, his friends Mike and Kyle, Melanie and I have been hanging out often. A few weeks ago we went to this new place called the Highball. It's in the same shopping center as the Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar. It's a really cool place! It has a big bar and tables and you can order all sorts of drinks and food. Then there are 8lanes of bowling. The bowling alley was taken from this super old bowling alley in New Orleans so it's all manual scoring and stuff. It's really neat! They also have this big dance floor. We were there on a Tuesday and there was no dancing to be had, so maybe they have a dj on friday and saturday? They also have private karaoke rooms that are themed to different kinds of music and come with props and stuff. You can have bottle service in these rooms too. So it's basically a cool place and is open til 2am! It is a bit expensive if you keep ordering beer though... But bowling isn't too bad. 25-30$ an hour for a lane (includes up to 6 bowlers) and like 3$ for shoes.(the night we went here was the night CC called Mel).
-The other night, I don't know how she did it, but Mel convinced Darian to go to SoHo on a SUNDAY night???!!! They were having a special free keg party and we wanted to go, and Melanie convinced Darian and Mike to go! We got there around 10 and there were only a few people there (definitely not a party) but people were playing beer pong and stuff. There was no keg in sight, so we went up and asked the bartender about the free beer/keg. They had a keg hidden behind the counter, and i guess if you knew about it, you got free beer. If you didn't you got to just pay for beer like usual! We should start doing this at all bars, asking for free drinks. Who knows when there's a free VIP keg behind the bar? We had a few beers and played a little beanbag toss. It was kind of a weird deal, but fun none-the-less.
-I went to Houston a few weeks ago because my grandma's place was having an early Thanksgiving dinner. It was actually kind of fun! They had a huge buffet, wine, and lots of dessert. It didn't seem to be like nursing home food, which is always a bit creepy. My grandma was pretty happy to see all of us (it's been a while since all 4 of us have been able to go visit her). It was a nice time!
-I've been going to see lots of movies lately, and many of them have been no bueno. I saw The Men Who Stare at Goats most recently. It wasn't the best but not as bad as Van says, lol. I also went to see Ther Box. BAAAAAD! It was so disappointing because it is just a cool idea, but they just butchered it by making it more and more complicated for no reason! And Cameron Diaz was suuuuper bad. Saw VI was also terrible, but I had expected that. Tomorrow Mel and I are going to see New Moon. It'll be at noon on a Monday, so it shouldn't really be crowded.
-Mel and I, in order to keep active, have started to play tennis. We found free courts in a park off of Shoal Creek. It's really fun, and we're not as bad as we expected to be! There's no greater satisfaction then returning a ball with force across the net! Too bad it's getting cold. It won't be as easy/fun to go out in play.
-At my other job the other day I was thinking. I get free lunch at work because production pays for my lunch. Brad Pitt is one of the producers of the movie, so can I say that Brad Pitt buys me lunch once a week??? I think I like that idea!
Anyways, those I guess are the highlights of the past weeks. i will stay on top of my blog, I promise! Now that I'm up to date, posting won't seem like such a big deal, haha. Well I hope you all enjoy Turkey Week, I can't wait to hear all about your feasts!
