last weekend sheena came to visit us. it was super awesome fun time, but i haven't had a chance to upload any pictures, so you'll have to take my word for it.
i DO, however, have a prom-style picture of myself and seth pre-opera. here you go. for your viewing pleasure.
On monday, sheena and I visited the Russian and Turkish Baths (which are absolutely awesome) and finally had the Platza treatment. The Platza involves being beaten (by a very bossy Russian man of Mongolian descent) with olive oil soaked oak branches in the hottest room of the baths (basically a large stone oven). It was slightly uncomfortable because of the being manhandled by this guy while everyone in the oven watched, but it felt so good I pretty much forgot that anyone else was in the room.
On Friday night erin had a beaujolais nouveau party, which josh has documented nicely. Much wine was drunk, things were thrown off roofs, beer was had afterwards. then, (very early) on saturday morning, Will and I made the drive to visit the Mohans again in New Boston. On the way there, we stopped at McDonalds (of course) and ate Big Mac Meals. Might have been a mistake. Might have been why we missed our road and ended up IN BOSTON. No matter, we made it to the Mohans with about five minutes to spare before show time. We went, nominally, to see Hayley perform as the Wicked Witch of the West in her school's version of Wizard of Oz. Hayley was awesome. The rest of the play was not, however, and we didn't even get the payoff of the big line at the end. instead, Dorothy said "I wish to be taken back to my Aunt Em" or some such bullshit. Also, they called the Emerald City "the city of emeralds". LAME. But, as I said, Hayley was wonderful - the only thing on stage with a pulse, as Sheena has said.
the rest of the weekend was nice and relaxing - dinner with the Mohans, poker with Sheena and Hayley, food, football, food, and cookies.
Last night Josh, Seth, and I went to see the Bond movie. I highly recommend it. It was super awesome. Daniel Craig is my new favorite Bond. Definitely.

agreed on the daniel craig (esp. while donning those swim trunks), but did your movie include an impromptu knife fight behind you in the theater? ugh. i missed the whole double cross scene because I was afraid I was going to get shived from behind.
i heard about that knife fight. and i was on my guard, make no mistake about it. thankfully, the only talking was the douches in front of us who may have had to change their pants when bond got into his new aston martin. it was a little unnerving how excited they were.
Yeah, but pretty funny. I personally prefered the '64 Aston Martin because I'm cool like that. Though the new one did have a gun holder in it, which I generally find pretty useful.
I also was amused when the more nerdy douches to my front left clapped when a police car got destroyed. I'm sure those douches are always being harassed by the fuzz.
We saw the Bond movie in taiwan with chinese subtitles! (it was in english) loved it too, and my mind was changed about daniel..hes HOT...and has balls of steel (jackie)
