The weekend was enjoyable beyond the lack of sleep. Friday ventured to Colonial Williamsburg with a friend. Wonderful food, wonderful shops, so much to see and do. i found this raspberry chipotle marinade at one of the shops that was actually really delicious. They recommend blending it with cream cheese for a dip as well... maybe I will have to experiment with it. We went to an art theater and saw The Orphanage, it was pretty good. It was an interesting experience simply because the room only held about 35 people and only 20 attended. Watching a horror movie in that close of a proximity to so many strangers is very different than the large theaters. Plans to go back for a full day have been made, so many restaurants to try and galleries to see that a day trip will be fun.
Saturday I wandered around Richmond some more with one of my friends. I finally made it to Hollywood Cemetery where I did see Jefferson Davis's grave. Not that I was actually looking for it, it is just hard to miss with all of the confederate flags surrounding it.
The cemetery itself is just beautiful, it is right along the river. There are so many hills and paths to wander through. I think we spent a couple of hours just walking. I discovered its one of three cemeteries in the same span of land, though we only visited the one, perhaps the others next weekend or something. Spent the rest of the day wandering around Carytown, lots of interesting shops. Found a music store that sells vinyl... I am already in trouble. Bought one new album, saw at least two others I had to resist. Finally ate good sushi! and discovered I like saki, although I am pretty sure I wouldn't be able to drink vast amounts of it in one sitting.
Sigh tomorrow... interview, dentist appointment, hopefully hear from first job. Hopefully. I need to go and work out today, depending on the amount of energy I have to do anything. A nap would nice but highly unlikely.
Maybe after morning activities I will consume the purchased alcohol I neglected last night. It was fairly pathetic, I was so exhausted and frustrated by sleep and that damn email- my head was killing me and I was nauseous to a point that drinking was unappealing. Ruined a perfectly good Saturday night.
I really want pizza. Perhaps it was because of the 3 a.m. pizza show I watched. Looked delicious
