birthrite weekend

today is monday, december 14th.

i had a wonderful birthday weekend. eric came from san sebastian, and dahara came from madrid. i bought myself a burnt egg yoke cake that tasted like whipcream toasted marshmellows, deelish. dahara made me eat a whole can of pringles, then a whole bag of toothbrush shapped gummy candy. deelish. eric got me some slippers, which is fricken rad cause i didnt have any, and it has started to snow.

they totally loved vitoria-gasteiz, which is really exciting, because that means everyone else who comes to visit will probably love it too. i took them to eat hot toasted baguette sandwiches, we went to el abuelos (the rock n roll bar), we ate fried potatoes, we slept till 1pm two days in a row, and we also went to a new bar that i hadn't been to before. a metal bar. there are like 7 metal bars here in vitoria, but this one is special. this ones called rivendell. yes, RIVENDELL. i am leaving it at that, and if you understand the significance of this name, i love you forever. the ultra metal bartender/owner totally loved us, and he poured us blue hawaii shots. cause thats what metal dudes drink, blue shots that taste like bubblegum. he also gave us a cd of his band, Hard Rock Sound, and showed us a video on his cell phone of him doing some medieval battle-ry with his chainmail on. DEWD. SO RAD. haha. we had a wonderful weekend.

in other birthday related news: kyle sent me a fabulous mix tape with no track list, my mom sent me her top 'aint it cool news' nerdom picks, a letter arrived from kaitlin just in time from costa rica, i bought a ticket to rome with the dough i received from my grandparents, and matt purchased his ticket to meet me there. wowzers, i mean, he didnt specifically buy it as a birthday present to me, but im going to pretend he did. dude, i say it counts as a birthday present, and christmas present, and new years gift, and an easter present. for the next ten fricken years! geez thanks matt, all i got you was one lousy bottle of gundam flavored ketchup. and a baby tiger. ... jokes! i couldnt find any gundam flavored ketchup.

today on my walk home from work, it was snowing like crazy. its cold, and i am protesting going outside. and its not even winter yet! can you see the snow? is it possible to take a picture of snow falling? do the people i pass on the sidewalk think im crazy when im taking pictures of air? yeeeeesss.

thanks for the sweet hawaiian melodies kyle, theyz warmz the heartz.
