So Saturday Isaac and I got up and headed to Austin to pick up Cody from the airport. He had spent the week out of state for work last week. He was tired from his trip so we went on back to San Marcos for him to shower and take a nap before we went back into Austin for the AustinTuners noodle meetup.
Before we got to the noodle meet up we stopped by Tek Republik and dropped off the xbox 360 for cleaning and repairs. Hopefully it won’t take too long to get fixed up so I can get to playin forza3! The noodle meet had a small turn out but I didn’t expect a crowd in the slightest. Not everyone likes pho and lots of folks have been busy with school lately.
We brought Isaac with us, Jack and Ellen came too, so did Ian and Ashley. After about an hour we were all ready to leave and we had Xrunnit show up so Cody stayed a bit longer to chat cars with him while Jack, Ellen, Isaac and I went to Amy’s Ice Cream for dessert. Obviously I didn’t have any, but we got some for Isaac but he was super tired by then and only ate a few bites, Cody had to finish it for him.
Today we all slept in a bit. Cody went over to Chuck’s house to watch the Cowboys lose. Isaac and I stayed here while Isaac took a nap and I worked on the next meetup for the AustinTuners thing. Later in the afternoon I was planning on headed out to Walmart to get diapers and such when I couldn’t find my keys. I had left them in the passengers side door of cody’s car. /fail. He brought home groceries and stuff and said to clean up the living room cuz Bryan and Traci were headed over.
I made some spaghetti for dinner, used macaroni noodles instead of thin spaghetti noodles, sooo good. Watched last nights recorded episode of SNL with Sigourney Weaver…AWESOME. Then Bryan and Traci came over with late Christmas presents for Isaac and us. They got him a toy guitar, nerf sword and a nerf basketball goal! They got Cody a copy of Uncharted 2 for the ps3. He has been playing it all night, it’s pretty fun looking. But the coolest part is what they got ME:
Nintendo Controller Soap from Dirty Ass Soaps. Super awesome as its the exact size of the real controller to the point its probably molded straight from it.
It smells good too! The second thing that they got me, which I wasn’t expecting at all, as a copy of Between Me and Life, the Romaine Brooks biography. I had been looking for something on her since I did research on her time period back in an Art History class at UMHB. Super hard to find these books because they only printed them once in the 70′s and it’s the only biography of hers that the lady who wrote it actually interviewed Brooks in person. She died in the late 70′s so this was cutting it close!
The book is pretty cool as it has actual pics of photos of her I haven’t seen before like this one of her actually WITH d’Annunzio: (yes THAT d’Annunzio)
What was even cooler was the full color photos of some of her paintings in the middle:
Totally awesome, I really need to sit and read it, I’ll probably bring it to work and read during breaks
