this weekend was BEST FRIENDS DAY. and holy shit, what a weekend it was. friday found us crashing an epic house party and dancing the night away. the cops came, wrecked shop, and i found myself chilling on a stranger's roof before biking back home for much-needed sleep.
saturday was the highlight of the weekend. a whole day of "debauchery" at hadad's lake. i put that in quotation marks because everyone else was getting hammer drunk while i remained sober, enjoying grape spritzers and a diet coke big gulp. i decided to remain sober in my commitment to no "day drinking", however, in retrospect, it was a poor move. i expected the party to go on into the night, where i would catch up in drinks, but everyone lost steam and the nightlife suffered accordingly. however, drinks weren't even necessary to have a blast. plus, i felt like a hero getting my friends safely home from a far-away location.
so all in all, i got to do everything i wanted on saturday. a lovely paddleboat ride with sarah, two hours of intensely competitive water volleyball, lots of catching up with friends, and catching some insanely awesome bands playing.
sunday was a day to celebrate u.s. history. chris and lauren came into town and we went to the american civil war center at the tredegar iron works. it's a very cool museum and i thought it did a really good job of giving a "wide-angle view" of the civil war. pulling back from the battles and the strategies and sort of showing the overall social impact and causes. very fun. after that, we went to hollywood cemetary to show them all the confederate graves, which is always a fun thing to do for people who haven't seen it before. after that, we made multiple failed attempts to find an open restaurant on sunday and settled at mom's siam in carytown for some delicious thai food.
today i'm back at work and honestly, it's not too bad today. i had a great conversation with my co-worker about the awesomeness of beards and why women love beards. i explained to her that beards are the easiest fashion choice to make, because all you have to do to grow a beard is NOT shave. by doing nothing, you're winning by growing an awesome beard. anyway, she posted a recap of the conversation on her blog, so feel free to check it out.
anyway, that's the weekend.
my last item comes from caitlyn who exposed me to the brilliance of "drunken history". the general premise is that the makers of the video get a historian completely wasted, ask them to recap a historical event, and then have famous actors act out the resulting jibberish. she wants to see me do a drunken history episode about the civil war. i'm totally down.
enjoy:

OOOOOOOUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!! That's how I fucking play volleyball.
And drunken history is so hilarious. I saw this a few months ago and tried to think of clever way to put a spin on it with my friends, but alas, FAILED.
