Weekend Update! Tokyo soon. Work excitement.

So this weekend was pretty fun. I just worked a bunch. Finished some stuff and played around a lot. I didn’t really go out much. On friday, Chris, Tag and myself went to see Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest. It wasn’t too good or bad - but Cecil’s face was in it. that [...]

Colorado weekend
