This was one of those weekends that was extremely long and more exhausting than relaxing. First of all, on Friday I did not get off work until 7 pm. Then I met up with a few friends to watch the second presidential debate, in which president Bush did a lot better than I expected. I figured Kerrey would burry Bush but that was not the case and in general the debate ended up about even. After the debate and some mediocre Chinese food we headed out to a local club where we stayed until it closed down.
Eventually, I ended up in bed at around 3 am only to have to get up at 8 am to drop of a friend at a hair salon. Naively I assumed it would not take that long; little did I know that 4 hours later I would still be sitting there. On a positive note I ended up reading an entire magazine on present day China, so if you have any questions about recent economic developments over there let me know, because I just might know the answer. One crazy thing I learned: In elite schools kids who are 6 years old are expected to be able to recite the number pi up to 300 digits! I think I can only manage up to six digits.
Back to the weekend: After the hair experience I attended a meeting of the Georgia Tech club here in Austin, where we watched the Georgia Tech football team handily defeat Maryland. That same day earlier, to the dismay of many, but definitely not mine, University of Texas lost to Oklahoma - I'm just not a UT football fan. After the game, with the help of a friend, I installed satellite television at my place and soon afterwards I headed out to a birthday dinner. Finally someone else turned 25, now I finally don't feel so old! The rest of the evening was spent running from club to club until the early hours in the morning.
Sunday was pre-occupied with some more installation, some football, and really nice dinner at one of the best steakhouses here in Austin: Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. The filet mignon was simply amazing - if you are ever near one be sure to stop by; and while your wallet might feel a little lighter afterwards, your taste buds will thank you!
