kodalaiSo, I had a wonderful weekend.
My birthday weekend more or less coincided with Tassa's, since hers is the 15th and mine is the 18th. On Saturday night we went out and did karaoke till we dropped. Dave and Doug and Hikaru and Ruby all came along, so therer were enough people and rowdiness to fill out the otherwise pretty desolate undecorated karaoke booth rooms.*
Also on saturday I gave Tassa her birthday gift, which was simultaneously a gift for her, a gift for me, redeeming a promise I made way back in September to the rest of her housemates; in lieu of paying rent for the 3 weeks I stayed at their place, I would buy them a grill. So that's what I did. I was worried for a time about waiting so long into the spring season to give it to them, but the weather seriously only just now got nice enough to make cookouts enjoyable, so it worked out.
Which meant that on Sunday night I got a delicious birthdya dinner of grilled steak, marinated chicken, and smores. Mmmmmmmmmmm. The weather was seriously gorgeous, high 70s the whole weekend. (And yes, I got my first sunburn, walking between the hardware store and my car.) There was even some kind of street fair going on down on University and 45th, although that turned out to be more of a nuisance than a treat because we had too much else going on to check it out.
And then we went to see star trek. Awesome movie! I approve of the AUness.
So all in all it was a fantastic weekend, and I haven't even gotten any presents yet. :)
*Seriously, the only reason that place gets away with being "seattle's best karaoke" is because they are Seattle's ONLY karaoke, only booth-style anyway. Their prices are very high, their rooms are completely undecorated, and their equipment is going on the fritz steadily more frequently over time. Oh, and they don't allow beer or serve food.

You made smores on the grill???? How did you keep the marshmallows from sticking? (This is why I don't cook).
