As promised, the Weekend Update.
Small note: Still having a few issues with the pictures, will upload them when I get home. Just wanted to get this much done.
Ready? Here we go!
Friday
Friday was my day off, so I slept in. A lot.
When I finally got my lazy self out of bed, I cleaned up a bit, then read more of House of Leaves. I’m just starting to get to the really good bits, by the way, and this is turning out to be a damn fine book.
Anyway, Nadia came over about five (traffic was kind of heavy), but that was okay since we weren’t going to hang around the apartment much anyway: It was voting time!
We climbed into my car, and ended up at the Galleria Mall. Walked around a little bit (checked out the new Hot Pocket, not sure I like it now…) and generally wandered about a bit.
Eventually, we made it down to the end of the mall where the voting was taking place – I went, did my thing, and when I came back… Had lost Nadia!
A quick phone call, and I found her again – She’d slipped off to the music store for a bit.
We wandered back towards where I parked, stopping only to get some candy (Yay!
) and look at some Anime. Pricey stuff, that – but some of it is worth it (Ergo Proxy)…
Went to Macaroni Grill for supper, had fun drawing on the table. I drew a little cartoon of Nadia, and she liked it enough that I had to cut it off the table before we left. Good thing they just toss the paper out – although, I did try and hide the hole under a plate, just in case.
Because it was still early, and Friday, I decided it might be fun to check out a lounge or club or something. So, we trekked on over to The Strip to see what we could find, fun wise. I had – previously – stashed a dress shirt in the car for just such an occasion, so meeting the dress code was not going to be an issue.
First stop: Minus 5, a new place in Mandalay Bay. Basically, it’s a giant freezer where everything inside is made of ice, and you hang out in big coats and neat hats drinking vodka cocktails and trying to keep warm. It’s here that I would place a picture if I wasn’t having so much trouble with it…
Afterward, we went to Tabu – where Nadia got in for free because she’s so damn adorable.
Good music, kinda pricey drinks, loads of fun.
Then we went home – My feet were killing me, and Nadia was kinda tired too.
Saturday
Had breakfast at the Original Pancake House again, and again I had the bacon pancakes. Nadia had a mushroom omlette, which she didn’t like. It was unevenly seasoned – some parts super salty, others very bland…
We then headed over to Opportunity Village in order to see what they had, and try to find some vintage clothes for a party I’ll discuss in a little bit. They had all manner of neat stuff, but nothing that really fit what we were looking for. Still, Nadia got a little jumper and a coat, and I found a tie for my Halloween costume.
Next up was The Attic, a much more expensive place to shop. Loads of over priced cool stuff – and, there, I found a shirt and some shades for aforementioned party. Goody bags in hand, we went back to my place – where Nadia took a nap, and I played some
When she woke up, she went home.
Later that night, there as a 70′s Party at her house… Again, pictures go here later. It was pretty fun, met some neat people – and some strange, freaky people (She-male stripper with a slave? Not a costume, and only in Vegas…) and then I went home.
Sunday
Sunday was guy day – Rosenberg came over, we played SR2 and LBP, ate chili dogs and just hung out.
Another fun weekend!

No, they are in the right format. Just issues with the browser at work… Which I shouldn’t be doing this on anyway, so…
