Dude, I forgot to mention one of the strangest (yet profitable) occurances of the weekend! On my way to pick Silvia up to go to Vegas, I ducked into Lens Crafters to pick up my glasses (the lenses had a flaw in them which produced these large teardrop shaped cracks right down the center of my eyeline). When the sales assistant was cleaning what were to be my fixed lenses, I noticed that the problem had seemingly happened yet again. Frustrated (but at this point keeping my cool) I noted loudly that this was an unacceptible situation, as when I walked out their door, I was leaving the state. The lead technician comes out from the back and sits down in front of me and starts to do the typical customer service schtick: "I am terribly sorry for your inconvenience and this shouldn't have happened...blah...blah...blah..." Upon reiterating that I was leaving town, he began to ask where I was going and what hotel I was staying in...As perplexed as I was, I obliged him the info. He thus offered to ship me my glasses, but that was a bit extreme. I was able to bargain my way into an extended warranty on my glasses which took the edge off my irritation and allowed me to settle to pick them up on monday. At which point, the tech asks me if I like to go clubbing. I was somewhat appaled that this dude was not only trying to save his ass over his company's heinous oversight, but that he sounded like he was asking me out! (not cool...) I think it was at this point that he realized how his question came across (perhaps it was my furrowed eyebrows that gave it away) and backtracked very quickly to say that he works for Club Vegas in Costa Mesa and he wanted to give me 4 VIP passes as an extended apology. He gave me his name and told me if/when I go to ask for him and he will hook us up...I took the passes and said my thanks. Just before I was ready to leave, he looks at the tray that my glasses were in and notices that what are supposed to be the old lenses looked to be the new ones. He goes into the back, switches out the lenses and low and behold they are fixed...all that aggrivation for nothing...I left for sin city with new glasses, club passes, and a cup o' coffee from starbucks...

On another note, last night I went to dinner with Eric, Yvonne, Dustin, Andy & Thomas as a farewell to those who were Europe-bound. I went to put my purse in Luis's room when we got back from dinner so it was out of the way and it felt so weird...Up until that point, I had missed him tons, but at that moment, I missed him even more...I hope he is having an amazing time in Colombia and I can't wait to hear all about it! :-)

Tonight: "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom"...
Tomorrow: Need to study for the notary and buy my books for the marketing class I signed up for yesterday...
