This is the one about a packed weekend.

Don’t get me wrong…I had a freaking wonderful weekend.  But part of me is ready to get back to work.

Friday night I went out with Drew to Hula’s Modern Tiki…which their website describes as  “Great modern island cuisine and tropical cocktails in a casual, hip environment.”

After that we did coffee next door at Lola’s Coffee Bar.  Then met up with Catherine and Rueben for a gay drink at Switch.

And early on Saturday I went with my sister to California to drop off my nephew.  He’ll be staying at his dad’s house for a few weeks.  We ate at Omega Burger near the Orange Traffic Circle downtown (see photo).

When I drove in Saturday night, Drew was at a pool party and I met him there.  After a few drinks and awkward situation with a guy in Burberry swim trunks that showed his erection,  we ended up back at his place drinking margaritas and listening to my new favorite song on the Direct TV pop station.

Sunday morning I overslept, ate a crappy lunch/breakfast at Jack, and had a great afternoon hanging out with Drew’s huge family.

No fireworks.

And I learned how to play Egyptian War.

Monday I went to lunch with my dad and sister at a Diners Drive-Ins and Dives place called Chino Bandidos.  They cook a Chinese/Mexican mix.  I was skeptical, but loved it.  Here’s my meal:

After the meal I went home and had a most relaxing evening doing close to nothing.

What did you end up doing?
