"I've been really tryin', baby..."

My weekend...

Begun not so well at all, has ended on a high note; details are unnecessary.

In other news, Megan and Chris came up Saturday afternoon. We had intentions of having "lupper" [© 2006 - Megan, Lunch/supper combo] at Casa Viva, "Little Rock's Favorite Mexican Restaurant." Well, apparently someone lied, 'cause the place is closed permanently.

Meeting at Park Plaza was traumatizing; I parked at one end and walked to the entire other end because I'm an idiot. We'll blame it on a breakdown in communication:

• Me: "Are you standing on the parking deck?"
  Megan: "No, we're not. We're in front of... [Name] Towers."
  Me: "I know where you are. You're on the parking deck."
  Megan: "No, we're outside of women's clothing."
  Me: "Yeah, you're over the parking deck."
  Megan: "Here, talk to Chris; I have to go pee."

Who would have guessed that they weren’t on the parking deck?

Jordan and I waged war against a fly before heading for his show at the Factory... We won.
Fantastic performance, of course, nothing but compliments! While there, Chris made a new friend! (Altogether now, "Awwwwww.")

Later, in Martin 401:

• Megan: "Cover-stealer!"

I made my first Denny's trip around 3:00-4:00 Sunday morning... This included...

• Singing "I Feel Pretty" from West Side Story
• Discussing Megan's penchant for cattle prods [Okay, so I made that one up]
• Waitress: "She's got white stuff all over hers, too!" [Oh, she knew...]
• Marvin Gaye’s Let's Get it On playing over the speaker system

I made my second Denny's trip around 1:00 that afternoon... a band of heathens amidst the churchgoers. I wore leather and lace.

• Somersaults in heels... enough said.
• Chris: "I thought that was a drag queen for a second." [In reference to an old woman in a wig]
• Megan: "I love old women in the bathroom." [...]

And my third and final Denny's trip was made at approximately 5:06 p.m.

• Waiter: "I bet you want your brother back, don't you?"
• Waiter: "I really need a cigarette."

Altogether I was able to log seven hours… Is that bad?

And finally... wrapping up my weekend in the shopping center behind McDonald's...

• Jordan: "Now this isn't going to change our sex life!"
