After a week of early mornings and hot yoga, I paid my body back with late mornings and alcohol. Probably too much... but what are weekends for.
Friday, March 28 - My two month anniversary in Seattle! I celebrated by... completing forgetting about it. Friday was my friend, Matt's, last day at work so we celebrated with a dinner with friends. Pulled pork tacos with brie on a buttery tortilla - amazzzing!!! Add in some wine, great company, a beagle, and an adorable (nearly) one year old and it was quite an enjoyable night.
Saturday, March 29 - With a long sleep behind me, I started my Saturday afternoon with a cooking frenzy. This was definitely the healthiest thing I did this weekend. Everything turned out great!
That night, I got a wonderful surprise and was able to go to the Sounders Game! My friend, Ben, was one of the first season ticket holders so the seats were incredible - front row! It was a rainy night, but we had a great time despite their (ridiculous) loss.
Sunday, March 30 - My roommate, Matt, had an extra ticket to this year's Comicon. For the novice, Comicon is Seattle's Premier Comic Book and Pop Culture Convention.
Now, I was incredibly excited to people-watch and try to snag a glimpse of Karl Urban. Little did I know, the 1/3 of Karl Urban that I did get to see (lovely) was going to get blown out of the water. Upon entering the exhibitors section, I asked Matty, "Do you think The Oatmeal is here?" That's where it all began, folks. We found his booth, bought a book, and stood in line for Matthew Inman's John Hancock. I focused on not having a (South Park) Stan moment. We got up there and he was friendly (and handsome, of course) but clearly wiped. He said that by day three of a conference, he's "barely human." Regardless of his exhaustion, my day was pretty much made.
Remaining highlights of Comicon: Intricate costumes, old arcade games on free-play, and Lego replications of Rivendale from LOTR and a quidditch tournament from Harry Potter.
Ok, so the only dinosaurs were the ones on my shirts this weekend, but if you know me, you know I love my dinosaur shirts.
