weekend recap (and it's not even done yet, just getting ahead of myself, yo)

This is probably the best weekend I've had in a very long time. Friday evening my actual plans of going to the movies was cancelled. Guys just an FYI, if you have a date with a girl, not talking to her for a week and then texting her the day of the date to ask about what the plan is, is pretty lame. When I told him there was only one movie I wanted to see (City of Bones) and that I think he wouldn't like it. He texts back saying it didn't look interesting at all. So I say "Oh well then". And that was that. I was secretly happy it didn't work out. I was trying to think of what we have in common, and I couldn't really think of anything. I'm not going to force myself to go on a date with someone just to get myself back out there. I'd much rather it happen naturally, bonus points if it's with someone I already have a connection with.

Anyways, I was thinking Friday night was going to be a loss, but my friend Jonny text me and says "Beers?" Obviously. Always beers. So we met up at Central and each did a flight. I'm not the biggest Red Racer fan. Their pale ale and pilsner were good, as was their seasonal. Their IPA was absolutely awful. I LOVE IPAs but I just couldn't stomach this one. I drank maybe a 1/4 of the beer and the waitress ended up taking it off my bill. It was nice catching up with him. The last time I saw him was exactly one year, 5 months ago. My relationship with him was one of the ones that was rocky during dating Dave. I'm pleased to say we are now back to normal. He is one of my favourite people to talk to about movies. We also share a love of Arrested Development and Portlandia.

After Jonny and I said bye, I met up with Randy. He had a terrible week due to working crazy overtime and being under appreciated. I basically forced him to hang out with me so I could attempt to shake him out of his funk, and I hope it worked! We live tweeted Superbad, and it was absolutely fucking hilarious. I think if there was a Superbad quotes competition, the two of us on a team would be unstoppable. Fun fact, Randy lost 3 followers during our tweet sesh, I gained one (a guy who sent me a bunch of creepy DMS after I followed him back. Guys like when girls talk about blow jobs, obviously)

Please enjoy some examples (I took screenshots of a bunch, but people kept getting in between our quotes, damn the people I follow!) :

Pretty sure we need to start a Twitter that is just Superbad quotes. In the morning, I royally fucked up chai lattes and we watched tennis. I also tried finding out how many tennis players get boners while playing the sport due to all the moaning. I ended up stumbling across www.awkwardboners.com (hello, new favourite website!) Anyways, Randy is my favourite. I had a lot of fun.

Saturday originally was suppose to be Matt and I doing a foodie tour of the city. We ended up inviting Sabine and Andrew out. Matt and I met up and had lunch at Finch's (go there, seriously) and then macchiatos at Revolver (not comparable to Italy, but damn good. They were on point with the foam.) 

prosciutto, blue brie, pears and walnuts. God damn fuck.

After coffee, we went to Parallel 49 for a flight and to buy their Schadenfreude Pumpkin beer (it's probably my favourite pumpkin beer). I love this time of year! Oh, just want to say I know everyone raves about Seedspitter, I don't think it's that great. We ended up bowling on Commercial rather than Granville and did 10 pin.

Peep Sabine's score ;)

We are going to start a team and call ourselves either Broken Pin or Super Shitty Bowlers.

We bowled 3 games, and decided bowling once a month has to happen. For dinner, my only input is I wanted a Caesar so we walked The Drive and decided on Tangent Cafe . We had a really weird, really in your face waiter. He was Scottish (I think?) and really animated. I can't decide if he was too much of a douche, or charming in a creep sort of way? Everyone was happy with their food, and they had a good beer selection, so I guess I'll give the place a thumbs up. 

When we got to Matt's (new beautiful amazingly spacious house) we had some of his autumn beers (Autumn Maple by The Bruery) it was delicious. Matt currently has a selection of 70 different bottles of craft beer in his 'cellar' which he's aging. What the fuck, right? Then he has his beers he actually drinks right now. I just got the app Untappd which basically you rate beers, he has over 540 that he's had on his list. I have some catching up. (Hops, Randy?) They have a ping pong table in the garage, so we played doubles. At first I was super rusty. The last time I played ping pong was when I was like 18 at the Canada Games Pool. After a one on one match, I loosened up and actually almost beat Matt. Back to doubles, and my team won both times (one round with Matt, one round with Andrew). I somehow hurt my knee playing, and it still hurts today, so that basically shows I'm a real ping pong player. I'm going to look into getting a table, I had SO much fun. After ping pong, we played Munchkin, and then called it a night.

I also had this brilliant idea to do a Breakfast for Dinner party. We're going to be having breakfast and drinks like mimosas, caesars, spanish coffees, etc. and hang out in our PJS. Planning it for October 5 at Matt's. Now I just need to think about what to bring. I'm all sorts of excited.

Today, I woke up with a hangover (surprise, surprise). I did some cleaning, laundry and other miscellaneous adult type things. Mallory is still feeling crappy, so she's coming over equipped with chick flicks and salt and vinegar chips. This evening I'm going for a walk with Kyle and Kayla. 

This weekend I will have successfully seen all of my best friends :)
