at about 2p I made it back from my weekend with the nerds, Pat and Elena. goodtimes were had by all, especially for those of us who were sober enough to enjoy Fallon, yet drunk enough to laugh at everything he had to offer. no pictures this time, so instead here's my top 10 list:

10) driving around for an hour in Bloomington to find a restaurant that is a) open past midnight, and b) not Denny's. hint: they don't exist.
9) Pat leaving the keycard in the door after bringing in his swag.
8) 12:48p: I order a Jack Daniels cheeseburger, cooked to medium, sans onions.
7) 12:49p: Pat orders the EXACT SAME THING.
6) Mario Party. at least I beat the gamecube.
5) everyone forgets where the car is parked on Saturday morning.
4) amaretto and Jennifer Garner
3) watching Pat fail at defending himself against Elena's attacks. repeatedly.
2) 'Jacob? it's Ehren from nohomers.' 'uh, that's cute.'
1) spending the weekend with two awesome nerdfriends.

also tonight, I suffered severe burnination from the grandmother as we were out at a moderately priced restaurant. it seems she and my aunt had gone on a cruise off the Florida coast and since she was in the metro area she wanted to get the fam together for a big meal. as it turns out, she has souvenir swag to distribute, like any good grandma should. when it came time for me to get mine, she asked me to stand up and receive it. and, unfortunately, unlike the Florida merchandise mine was much more embarassing. it turned out be a twist on those dinosaur sponges that was in the shape of a two inch tall busty woman, labeled 'Grow Your Own Girlfriend'. shocked and mortified, I slunk back to my chair while everyone else shared a jolly laugh at my expense. I then turned on the iPod and tuned everything out till my aunt sneezed and spewed saliva all over the table in front of me and everyone finally decided to leave. my grandma and aunt later apologized for the ill-timed joke. I'm just glad I didn't just weep into my chicken, because I sure as hell wanted to.
