well since going down to the city on friday.. we decided that it was so much damn fun that we'd go down again saturday and sunday!! actually.. saturday was my cousin's wedding (reception... he got married a couple weeks ago in hawaii) so.. that was huge fun. actually... it wasn't. i was happy for him and all.. but other than eat.. there wasn't much to do. i dunno... im just not a jump-out-onto-the-dance-floor-and-shake-my-ass kinda guy. so i ate.. and sat.. and watched as they went through the obligatory motions (speeches, and jokes and dances and throwing of various objects). once the stupidity was over.. they really got down (and loud and obnoxious) so i grabbed some fresh air and joined the intelectuals (and smokers) outside. we left shortly thereafter and eventually got home around 1 ish.

sunday was the last day that my dad's aunt would be in the area.. so we had a far more casual get-together at my aunts house. there was a myriad of different foods to be had. we brought pasta. someone else brought popusas.... (i dunno what their county of origin is) but they are kinda like tortillas or flatbread with cheese (and beans and meat if you want) baked right into the middle of it. theyre kinda greesy.. but they are really good. someone els ebrought some very good fried chicked. and someone else brought lumpias. so as i said... lotsa food to choose from. now thats my kinda party. and also, since there was no defening loud music or whatever... there were actual conversations to be had.

yesterday, after an afternoon of anticipation, my aunt and uncle (who also happened to be in the area... they came up for my grandma's birthday) decided they were NOT going to visit, and instead invited my mom out for dinner and a drink. thats nice. thankfully they decided to visit afterwards and we got a chance to talk and walk and whatever.. good times.
