The Adventures of Edwin and Daniel, Vol 2: Happy Manniversary!

I was so worried about this weekend: my anniversary is today, and no matter how upset she made me for the things she did to me, today is the day I think about the happiest times in my life, which all occurred with Dewi.  I know how I act, and how I react to my emotions, so I was worried how I was going to make it through the day without breaking down.

Enter Edwin and his “Manniversary!”  It has been 2 years since the two of us met, back in the old training department, and we decided to spend the weekend doing all the guy stuff to occupy me.

Yesterday consisted of me starting to play and then being addicted to Guitar Hero III.  I played through a majority of the easy mode… then got down with the Devil Went Down to Georgia and the Mjolnir mix from Halo 2.  (Just writing about it makes me want to go play some more >.>)  Then I started playing and got addicted to Geometry Wars 2 on Xbox Arcade… daaaamn… I want my 360….

Edwin’s wife Jeesely spoiled me with breakfast, and we went to California Tortilla for dinner.  They had some awesome food there, and the customer service is top notch.  Working in a field where I value customer service, they did everything perfectly by my book, and they are probably due for me to write a full post reviewing their restaurant.  (The kicker was the shelf with literally 40 or more different hot sauces available for use on whatever you ordered, rated from 1 to 10 in hotness.)

Then we came home and had Jeesely mix us “coquito,” a very yummy drink consisting of egg nog, Bacardi, cream of coconut, and nutmeg.  Mmmmmm…. I got seriously buzzzed.  And from there, Edwin and I started to play Gears of War on the most difficult (”Insane”) level.  I never played the game before, and it took me a while to learn how to take cover and stop accidentally jumping out into the paths of bullets without shooting at them.

Today:  Jeesely spoiled me yet again with another awesome breakfast.  Then, we went to Dave and Buster’s, so we could take advantage of their NFL Sunday Ticket and watch the Jets-Titans football game.  Edwin being a Jets fan, he got his full gloat on as the Titans 10-0 record was TROUNCED TO F*CKING DEATH by the now 8-3 Jets.  There is no way I can say the Titans ever stood a chance; they never had control of the game.

Then, I followed Edwin faithfully to the Apple Store, so they could unbrick his iPhone.  He let the computer go into sleep mode while he was updating his device, and it trashed it.  Poor man spend all night long trying to fix it.  Their solution?  Hook it to a Mac.  Why didn’t WE think of that…….

And now we’re back at home, taking a look at the music awards before we continue into Gears of War

I will make more individualized posts, hopefully this week, on each of the individual items on this post for more detail, but this was more aimed at my awesome weekend with my friends.

WHERE WERE YOU JOEL?  AT LEAST ANDREW HAD AN EXCUSE, YOU BUM.

PS: Jeesely, is watching the New Kids on the Block on the Music Awards.  How they managed to pull off their “The Right Stuff” dance in their 40’s, I have NO idea.  “Go NKOTB!” Says Edwin.
