I met my brother at his store in the Rivercenter mall. He still had some work to do and i was there to buy some shoes anyway. So i shopped around and tried on quite a few shoes. All in all, i walked away with 5 pairs of shoes (1 of them was for my dad).
And here are the pair of shoes that my dad picked out.
After the shoe shopping (Thanks for the discounts, Brandon), we went to Brandon and Jessica's apartment to sort out the rest of the night. We decided to go to a pub to have a few drinks and shoot some pool. Well, it appeared to be a long wait for pool so we went back to the apartment to place some games.
One thing that Brandon i did as kids was play a lot of games ... on the Sega Genesis. My brother has an Xbox, so we played some Tiger Woods golf for most of the night. I remember back in the day when the controllers were much simplier--say a joystick with A button. Video games today have many different buttons and controllers to work through...definitely will help with hand eye coordination and memory. You have to remember what each button does functionally. Perhaps video games aren't so bad after all...despite the constant eating and no physical exercise...
The next day we did a little more shopping...making needed stops at Guitar Center, another mall, Game Stop, and Best Buy. We took a lunch break at Chipolte. Still doesn't beat Freebirds, Erin, but damn, it's awesome with the carnitas. I believe this past visit to Chipolte was the best i've ever had.
We went back to play the new game that Brandon bought, ESPN's NHL 07. Brandon and I used to play hockey on the Sega Genesis all the time. So we played some hockey for a few hours. Some things haven't changed, Brandon still beats me in hockey. We also played some football and ordered a pizza.
Ok, this is the part of the weekend, where i'll never look at Bob Saget the same way again. While we were eating, we flipped through the channels to find Bob Saget's That's Ain't Right standup. You remember Bob Saget as Danny Tanner on Full House and as the host of America's Funniest Videos. Wow, all i can say is that it was shocking. I almost think he was doing all that for shock value. It was friggin hilarious though.
Brandon and I did our usual music swap, and i was on my way back to EB for a quick visit before returning here.
I spent the rest of the evening preparing the studio for paint. Ok, i've spent a little too much time preparing this post, i must get some primer and paint now. Stay tuned for the next installment.
