"super kawai."

kawai(i) = japanese for cute. it really has nothing to do with what i'm about to talk about...i just like the term haha. while about 20 of my friends are gone for the weekend celebrating a whole lot of birthdays in vegas...dennis, pat, christian, fred, matt, kp, jen, arthur, and myself went down to san diego saturday night to visit ana and check out barona ranch.
it wasn't vegas (we technically were in an oversized barn) but we all definitely enjoyed ourselves and laughed a lot (a lot of laughs at my own expense wah wah). it was really nice to chill with ana and catch up with her. after struggling with dinner choices (from pizza to ramen), we decided upon sushi and ate at sushi time where joe (ana's friend) works. good sushi at a good price...well done, ana. after getting lost a bit and going through many freeway changes and a winding road, we arrived at barona. it's a quaint little casino ---> i was diggin' the vibe of it. some of us played slots, some played poker, and the rest were playing black jack. all-in-all, a good experience. while pat, christian, kp, jen, and arthur left for the hills...the rest of us delayed our return home and decided to get toll house cookie dough and milk at a nearby wal-mart. we ate them at ana's place while watching family matters. it was late into the night and very random but dennis was right...it's not every day we get to chill with ana down in sd (and have cookies and milk with her at 3am in the morning). i know i always talk about having awesome times and good nights...but tonight was especially awesome and it was especially a good night, a standout in recent memory. it's been a long time since a big group of us went out like this...quite nostalgic (and i'm hoping for more in the near future). i miss ana already...hopefully she's enjoying the cookies she tried to give to us on our way out haha.
