Day 322

Holiday Monday, and a day full of fun. Carly and I had decided we'd have a movie day. I got up early to go out with my Mom. We got to Costco and saw it was closed, and then we went to the grocery store, and Starbucks before heading home to meet up with Carly. At 2:15. her Stephen and I were in the theatre watching "Dinner for Schmucks". It was pretty funny. Not like "Step Brothers" hilarious...but definitely some great parts.

By the time we got back, we didn't have time to relax before my cousins showed up. Hagan and Caldo came in, we said hi, and then the 7 of us walked down to the beach for a gelato before dinner. We made a few stops - at the pub and such - on the way, and once we had our cups and cones in our hands, we made it to the benches along the front. We sat and talked, and I had a cuddle with Hagan. When we had all finished, we walked back up to the house, and ate dinner.

At about 7:15, Carly, Stephen and I headed out again to see "Inception". My friend Brad was coming straight from work, so after getting the seats, I went outside to get his ticket and wait for him. He got there, and we walked in to watch the movie. Stephen and I already knew how amazing it was because we'd seen it. But for Brad and Carly, it was a whole new experience. When it finished, Brad had to leave right away because he was so tired and needed sleep before work. Carly and I dropped Stephen at home, and went to pick up an old friend of mine at a pub on the front. - The place is a bit of a dive. We got Chad, and headed back to my house to collect Stephen. Carly came in for cake first, and then we were off to Jimmy Flynn's. People were clearly worn out from the long weekend, because it was pretty much just us and others from the industry hanging out tonight. We closed Jimmy Flynn's as usual, and then headed to Charlie Don't Surf. After everyone's drinks, we headed to the OB where the music was actually good (without the DJ being there), and the dance floor..no, the building...was almost empty. There was probably only 7 other people there, and I think they too, were a part of the industry.

When the bar closed, Stephen, Carly and I headed back with Chad, to his hotel room. We hung out there for a bit and I watched them play cards, but not before being picked up by the SAME cab driver who almost ran Carly over the other night, and going to McDonalds for a great laugh - Stephen put on a fake voice to order his food - and then we stopped at Shell to get some candy. It was 3:30 when we decided to head home, and although I was tired, I went downstairs to Stephen's room so that we could watch Blades of Glory with Carly. Not far into it, I was falling asleep, so I came up to bed. xx
