Semi-Exciting Weekend

This weekend started off interestingly. It snowed on Friday, yes snow in the Puget Sound area at the end of March, this caused everyone to leave work early. The best part was that shortly after it stopped snowing, there was none to be seen on the ground. It was melting as it touched the ground. So it seems that I cannot escape the snow, no matter how hard I try, oh well!

Later on Friday, a friend and I went to B & O Espresso in Capitol Hill (its a neighborhood in Seattle.) It was some of the best coffee (well latte) and cake (German Chocolate) I have ever had! The best part was that they are open late, until 12:00a or 1:00a depending on the day of the week. It gave me another reason to like Capitol Hill...hmmmm. While the eats where great, the people at the table next to us kept on trying to get their waitress' attention by staring at her...creepy...

Saturday started off with getting an oil change, which turned into me test driving a Saturn Sky Red Line. I have been meaning to drive it ever since it came out, but never got around to it. It is impressive. There is quite a bit of power in the engine, and it handles fairly good. Its no Lotus Elise, but it does the job. This is yet another example of how GM is actually turning around and making good products. The dealer was great, no pressure at all. Made for a very comfortable environment. He even told me to "stretch its legs"...good guy!

I test drove with the top down, it was 40 degrees out. Not my best idea.

After about an hour, my oil change and test drive were both over and I headed into Seattle with a friend. We checked out the Science Fiction Museum, it was interesting, a flashback to most of my elementary and middle school years. They also had a music museum in the same building, saw that and then walked around the area (its right by the Space Needle.) After all that sight seeing, we went to go eat. We were nearly done with our meal, when a kid comes in with his mother (or so I assume.) He brings in a portable DVD player, wait it gets better: and a DVD collection. What is wrong with kids these days? (answer this question in the comments section!)He can't even go out to a lunch with someone without watching some DVD...that kid is out of control.

Photo for proof:


Notice hows he is watching a DVD and trying to read the menu at the same time. At least he can multitask, right?

Oh yeah a picture of the Space Needle...enjoy!
