    I
    awakened from a fitful sleep and promptly threw up. It was an
    excrutiating 5 hours of being sick. Two hot showers later, I felt good
    and damn hungry. Went down to the Bayside Expo to see the end of the
    Tet celebration. The girls had already finished their performance and
    Christina was keeping tabs on the Wii table.

    Puppy Dog Eyes and Gay Man

      

    Christina
    had brought her Nintendo Wii to the table and little kids were
    scuttling over to play for $1. One little girl was standing next to the
    table and looking on. After many of the kids had left, she asked to
    play. Christina couldn't let her do it because many other kids would
    start playing without paying after hearing that she'd play free. I was
    done in by the girl's puppy dog eyes. And so was every male guy in
    surrounding 15 meters. Puppy Dog eyes is a compellingly cute super power.

    You wouldn't believe the sight of every guy in a 15 meter radius around
    the girl start flipping through their wallets. Yes, I did as well. My
    gosh! Her eyes had tears there but weren't falling. How! How do you do
    that! Such an evil, evil but handy power.

    I don't understand girls who wish for super powers when they have that already. Although I don't mind the women in tights. (Rawr)

    Another kid sat at the table as well. Christina described him as a brat but he's an impressionable brat. I don't remember how the conversation came up but I told him that Jesse was gay and he started saying in every other sentence that Jesse was gay. I also mentioned Zon was gay and he connected the dots and said they were gay for each other. Thus was born "Gay Guy" aka Jesse . Muahahah, Zon tried to turn the tables but the brat didn't join his side. Ok, let me change that. He's an impressionable loyal brat.

    Later Zon, Christina, a guy i'll nickname K because I don't really remember his name, and I dropped Christina's stuff down at Stuvi and headed down to North End. On low gas, we circled around the area for 30 minutes, (Thanks to my awesomely awesome driving bringing us to East Boston somehow). We finally got on the street but every single restaurant had a line in front of it. Each wait was at least an hour and a half. Even those that didn't seem like it would take that long to seat us. We finally stumbled upon Cibo (CHI-Boe) We settled down to eat. I had    papardelle pasta with Salmon and roasted tomatoes. Zon and Christina both ordered the Shrimp Pomodoro made with red wine sauce and K had a seafood concoction with muscles, etc. It was good food. My sauce was really thick but worked out since the Parpardelle didn't really soak up the sauce. We headed down to Mike's Pastries and that place was packed. Making it out of there was a squeeze. I got the Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake and Strawberry Cheesecake and Zon got me a Canoli (which is their forte from what I saw). Delicious! Zon got 4 Canoli's for 10 bucks. Must've been worth it. Christina and K got quite a bit themselves. It was so expensive. Plus parking was pretty expensive as well. Ah well, I don't go out to North End that often. Last time the company paid for me anyways.

    That was quite a nice night.

    Sunday

     I woke up to work early in the morning. It's much easier now that I don't have to go on the store side. This time around, I just watch ESPN and read the news with some OJ most of the morning. Zon called and reminded me that Andrew was having dim sum the next day. We all went to Dim sum and damn did I eat alot. I was happily full at the end of the meal. I also ate the most out of them all. Karen, May, and Anthony didn't really eat that much.

    Zon, Christina, Andrew, and I headed back to the GSU for some free pool. We played for 2 hours before Zon and Andrew had to meet up for classwork. Christina and I headed back to her place where I fell asleep for 2 more hours. She watched bleach and I snored away. We decided to hit up Sunset Cantina for dinner. I ordered the BBQ Pork pulled Quesadilla, Zon went with the Chicken Quesadilla. I forgot what Andrew had and Christina had breaded spicy shrimp with a half plate (huge still) of Cheesy fries. Another expensive dinner to top off the expensive weekend. Woooh Wooh

    Headed home for some much needed sleep. Next day work!

    I also forgot my ID and I still failed to pick it up. Will try to do it today.
