Everyday Should Be Like Sunday

Yesterday David, Vic, and I went to Homestead for breakfast. Apparently where you eat for breakfast is like where you are in the "class" structure. Trashy people eat at The Waffle House, blue collar worker types eat at Homestead, and the other classes eat at places like Bob Evans. Homestead was alright. Typical diner fare with reasonable prices and an interesting buffet. David and I had the buffet where we treated ourselves to scrambled eggs, bacon, waffles, potatoes, biscuits and gravy and that sort-of thing. I also tried mush. Yeah....mush...barf...

Later that day David and I drove down to Columbus to shop/walk around Easton. Easton is a very large complex/mall with indoor and outdoor malls. I remembered Easton as being a very cool place with really interesting and unique shops. Columbus is really connected to the fashion world as many of the fashion houses have thier main corporation here. I really wanted to see the United Colors of Benetton shop becuase I really liked some dress pants I bought there last time. Outside of that, it was alright. We ate at a place called bd's mongolian barbeque where you build your own stir-fry. It's somewhat similar to other mongolian grills but, you can have fresh sauces, fresh protein, raw eggs, and basically better products.

After our time at Easton's we drove over to a newer mall called Polaris Fashion Mall. We actually had to stop at Costco for some paper towels and toilet paper for the new place (Costco was across the street). We walked around the mall some and I bought some new cologne (John Varvatos Artisan) and dave bought a new Mark Ecko shirt.

Earlier in our drive to Ohio (and on our way obviously to D.C.) we were discussing the movie Return To Oz. During a later part of our drive we listened to Scissor Sister's first album that has a song called Return to Oz that is actually about the movie version. I did some looking and it turns out that the Wizard of Oz is a very dark series of about 12 books. The movie failed becuase people expected the MGM Wizard of Oz style and this movie wasn't like that. This movie was true to the novels (although you could argue it has it's own failures as a movie). Anyway, point is, I became very interested and found the Return To Oz movie at Barnes and Noble.

After spending time at the mall we decided to head over to a place called Magic Mountain. This is your typical pizza, go karts, putt putt, and video game place. Last night was packed probably becuase the weather was really nice. We bought a round of putt putt and had a good time. There were plenty of good looking people so it made waiting for our turn less boring...hahaha!

After our putt putt round we decided to head home.

Today, we met Vic and Sherry for dinner (supper is later) at a steakhouse type place that I cannot remember the name of. Most of us had steak and chicken dinners, David had to have seafood (which is really weird becuase he doesn't usually order the seafood). Anyway, that was good.

After our dinner we headed over to Walmart to walk around. That was fun. We didn't buy anything, but it was fun to walk around and see local people do local people stuff. Not like standing behind a barrier and watching animals in a zoo, but you know, local people stuff.

After Walmart David and I stopped at Tim Hortons for a mocha. We actually thought they were going to be really lame mochas but, they turned out to be really creamy. Very good stuff. I mean, it's no Starbucks.....but it was really good.

We came back to the house and we all sat outside where Vic, David, and I had cigars and goofed around.

Thats about it. Tomorrow we head to D.C., our final destination. I ordered Internet service today from Verizon. Looks like we can keep our DirecTV as the apartments support satellite service (we just need to figure out how that works).

Okay, I am going to see what everyone is up to. They probably think I am ignoring them. haha

bye!
