Fourth of July Weekend

Jules! Here’s that Fourth of July weekend entry you were lookin’ for:

Fourth of July weekend was pretty cool. Muy long. On Friday, basically got out of the office after lunch and went to a work team building event. So Friday was a pretty chill night hanging out with the co-workers playing Catchphrase and Mafia, and then later hitting up Sport by the Needle.

Saturday I spent most of the day at Capoeira practice. Man do those practices run long. I feel guilty because I haven’t gone all week since then, but we’ll see how this week goes. Later that night Ryan and I met up with David and Sean to look for a Korean BBQ joint. Citysearch.com led me to the Crossroads Mall food court, so we ultimately aborted mission and had dinner at a Chili’s in Bellevue. Good fooding. I spent the rest of the evening admiring some pie charts I made in Microsoft Money and reading Harry Potter. Woo wee.

IMG_5638Sunday it was sunny out so Ryan and I went out and decided to walk along the waterfront downtown. Parking was insane though and so we ended up parking on a hill in International District where I got to point to the building I work in. Anyway, it was nice to be out. Ryan took photos along the way and I bought myself a strawberry lemonade and some yellow lilies. Later that night, Jules and I went out to dinner and checked out Pomodoro on Eastlake.

Dinner at Pomodoro was pretty sweet and the I look forward to going there again. The great food and wine was even better because we got to use the Entertainment Book discount. I’d write more about this restaurant, but I’ve noticed the more I like something, the harder it is for me to write anything more descriptive than me alternating between the words “great”, “awesome”, and “really cool”. I really need to work at that.

Later that night dinner, David came over and we watched Naruto episodes #118-124. The first five episodes were a bit blah if not frustrating. Naruto’s fight scenes were so bad it was hard to watch. But Episode #124‘s surprise ending was rather delightful, haha. Wow, only 14 episodes to go until I’m all caught up! It’s about time, I started this mess last August.

IMG_5646I began the actual fourth of July online looking up fun holiday history facts. Unfortunately none really tickled my fancy so I had to abandon the planned holiday blog entry. The rest of the day was filled with a lot of mishaps and changes in plans. But in the end Ryan and I made dinner together at my place. (I even made a dish from a recipe!) After dinner we walked over to Gasworks Park, found a pretty sweet spot up front and center near the barge and watched the fireworks before fighting the crowds on the way home.

And there you have my fourth of July weekend.
The End.
