my tax free weekend

this weekend was pretty eventful. we went out to eat Friday night at Vinny's, my favorite Italian restaurant in Austin. we also rented two movies, hart's war and resident evil. resident evil was okay..entertaining but not all that stimulating. we didn't watch hart's war until the next night but i was pleasantly surprised by it. i was expecting another war movie but quickly discovered it was more a suspense drama.

i couldn't sleep Friday night. i've been having trouble sleeping lately. i think i'm just worried about a lot of things. anyhow, insomnia is like living in your own private hell. you basically have to lay still and pretend your brain is dead when it's racing with a million thoughts. the next morning, i wasn't tired for some odd reason. i guess i was excited about going to shopping.

we hit san marcos around 10 something. oddly enough, i only found one shirt i liked. jerms, on the other hand, racked up! he got a lot of great deals on some really nice outfits. i was pretty disappointed with the shopping spree.

we finished up around 4 and headed to san antonio to meet up with jerm's co-worker for dinner. it took us awhile to find parking but we finally found some garage that allowed all day parking for five bucks. we walked down to the river walk and headed to the river center mall. i did a little bit of shopping before we finally met up with the group.
we had to walk about 8 blocks to the mexican restaurant we were going to eat at but it was actually a pretty scenic trip.

the food was okay and the service was pretty poor in my opinion. a couple of people kept coming by asking us to buy stuff which was kind of annoying. it was def. a tourist venue. after we finished eating, we went back to the rivercenter mall and shopped a little more. this time, i acquired two more shirts (the previous shopping spree had yielded nothing).

we went home that night and watched hart's war. jerms fell alseep towards the end of the movie. heh. i was still wide awake so i stuck in sleepless in Seattle and watched that until i was tired enough to close my eyes.

nothing much happened today. i watched the anna nicole show. i was not impressed at all but i couldn't stop watching it. it's kind of like watching a slow train wreck. i think that woman is doped up. i have a lot to do tonight (due to procrastination)...

eh. another weekend bites the dust.
