All For Fireworks
so i trust everyone had a long and enjoyable independence day holiday weekend? eventhough i don't work, i did enjoy the break from the usual monotony of boredom. how did i diversify my weekend. well, on friday i had a fun time again with my cousin's friends shooting some pool, which i found out that i quite enjoy and don't do too shabby-ly...well, as good as i bowl i guess. haha. after that i went to the notorious Brazil cafe, the one that all the sheeshee yuppies and trend setters go apparently. it was predictable but fun. had the usually hetero experience of a group of guys bored out of their minds while the group of girls keep on gabbing.... haha... i mean, don't chicks get in when we're being obviously noticeably bored? oh well.
.
the next day was pretty normal actually. went to the mall and go swamped by 3 million people, it was raining outside, so the only place to really go was the mall. anyways, did find a cute shirt and some cheapo flip flops. then that evening i took my folks out to go watch superman returns, which i found bearable enough although to be honest, i was kind of glancing at my watch a lot. hmmmm. at least the new superman character is quite deliciously good eye candy. dark hair, blue eyes... damn... gets me anytime.
.
and then the next day we go on our actual sort of weekend trip, piggy backing with another family, who are friends with my folks, and sharing in their general warmth. five cars, each towing a jet ski, was quite a sight. so were the watering holes we went to. now i have a little bit of an idea of what makes austin so appealing... especially to texan young adults. there is definitely an up and coming almost trendy-ish nature and vibe to the city...and teh recreational aspects of lake austin and lake travis... which really are more like sinuous rivers.... that you can boat on and jet ski on and whose waters are emerald green.... beautiful. the first day we went to lake austin which is basically a river in a canyon like environment with beautfil waterfront property, each house perched on the ledge with a sharp inclined stairway leading down to each one's personal dock...along the actual waterfront. it was pretty cool. and the chop of the water because of all the vehicles and the reverberration of the wave movement...made for some fun riding. after jet skiing we went to this fun place called Oyster Landing... which i guess is like Penn's Landing in philly... lots of restaurants, cafes, and just fun stuff along the water. we had a good dinner there. after that retired to the hotel and just watched a movie on tv. the next day we went jet skiing again. this day we had a little less energy really for jet skiing eventhough the site was so much better... lake austin is absolutely gorgeous...i could seriously see a retirement home their... beautiful wide lake... truly emerald water and just this wonderful rolly hilly country, verdant and pastoral.... all around! and the waves were prime as well as the same phenomena of wave reverberration happens in this lake as well.... much more than lake houston for some reason... i dunno why... about same size lake it seems to me....well...maybe not, lake houston is a lot bigger i think.... but lake travis.... gorgeous! most of this day really alot more relaxed though...actually even napped after playing with two 7 year old girls in the water...vicious things...haha.

finally got home and retired the rest of the night. and what of the fourth itself? well, actually myparents had to attend some temple function so they left early for that trip. so me and the cuz basically hit the mall... saw the devil wears prada.... highly recommended! and then just hung out at home. got invited to the neighbor's dinner party... good food. watched a dvd, and thens aw the 10 minute firework show after. pretty laid back day. happy fourth!
.
and now tomorrow i am telling myself i really need to get up and start working for real. i have so much of my parents financial data to look over that i have been putting off for 2 weeks.... now i have only a week and a half left so yeah... time to get cracking. any other news? hmmm... i saw some townhomes the other day which felt a little adult... even considered the idea of actually buying a REAL house... land and everything... to avoid the silly community/maintenance fee crap...or at least have it invested in something real. i dunno...we'll take it slowly. like the car... not a huge issue now that i have decided to live at home for a few months. my social life is still pretty bland. oh i did have a lunch "psuedo-date" with another guy i met on-line. he's not much of a looker but i think he's nice, and he seems willing to show me around.. and i actually get the feeling he's not much into me either... so that's fantatsic! we can actually be friends! anyways... hopefully once i get into the office, surrounded by people my age...i hope.... maybe my social life will be better. PLEASE! haha.
