Thursday night I made myself some good burritos with the new groceries that I bought at my local grocery mart. I love that little place - it's a quaint, Mexican-American owned produce store combined with a smoothie shop named Senor Mango's. And it's pretty cheap, too. Can't beat that. When the only thing you can spend money on is food and bills, you make sure you get every penny's worth out of both. Thursday night I went with Chad and Kim to bowling, met up with Sammer and Bethany there. I didn't have the money to bowl, but Kim and I went back and forth for the second game. I did awesome things with a bowling ball. I believe I got a spare every frame (no strikes though... odd).
Friday I worked quite a bit getting Pleenk stuff done and some work on my new online portfolio (ya I'm going to try and get some more freelance work or a part time job somewhere... and probably looking at getting a car in a month for that - there aren't a lot of people to hang out with around these days so not having a car makes it even more difficult to get out). Friday evening I went with Stef, Tiana, Eric, Roscoe, Colleen (Roscoe's wife), and Jeremy Morgan to Tokyo House in PB. Sushi. mmm Wasabi. Good tasty deliciousness. After PB we met up with Michelle, Chelsea, and Renee at the Triple Crown Pub near my place and played ping pong for a couple hours then turned in.
Saturday morning I went with Eric to the church to help Jamie Gates move a bunch of books from a storage unit that a guy in a community we've done some work and conferences with, donated to us. Boxes and boxes. Literally. It took two trips and we thought Jamie's van was going to blow its tires. So that took a good couple hours and then we went to Cotijas for burritos. Deron met us there and we discussed the research he's been doing recently on the migration of the Nazarene church from homeless/poor ministry to middle-class suburbia. Interesting for sure. Especially after Deron was telling me he found some early documents with slang words such as "darkie" and "coloreds" in them. That afternoon I played tennis with Matt while Brenda shopped. Saturday night (ya, that's last night) I went out with Chad, Dave, and Steve to the homecoming basketball game at PLNU. We left a little early, but we were whooping up on MNU when we left, so we felt secure in a victory. We were planning on meeting up at a Mediterranean Cafe downtown with some girls, but it took them forever to call back and they were getting down there late - the guys decided they're too old now and didn't want to go. So we watched the Variety Show video with Tim and Shauna as the hosts (very funny DRB documentary on the break up of the band due to Cole's playing of the Cajon) and then watched SNL - hosted by Luke Wilson, musical guest U2. The music was the best part. And seeing Bono hump some lady on the front row of the audience was just an added bonus. I spent the night out in PLNU at their place and then came back here this morning for church.
After church we had a meeting about the use of the church as a shelter during the rain in the next few months and then sat around for a little afterwards. Scott and I played some tennis this afternoon and then I rode my bike back here to write you all about it. So there you go, and here we are. We're having a church service at 6pm for the local congregations (nobody from Mid-City knew about it until yesterday or today) but I don't have a ride and dont' feel like freezing myself on my bike again. Guess I'll be passing on this one. What comes next for the exciting life of David? You'll have to continue tuning in.
Oh ya, and I burnt the spaghetti today so we had smoked noodles. The sauce rocked though.
