travis' brain dump

I have to say this past weekend was probably one of the best I’ve had in a long time. I actually didn’t mind getting up this morning. I hurt from snowboarding for two days, but it’s a good hurt. 🙂

For the record, I love 4-day weekends. Especially those with lots of activity and lots of uselessness packed into them. LOL Between shutting out the world except my family, playing FFXI for stupid amounts of time, two days of snowboarding, catching a movie and eating some incredibly good food it’s been amazing.

We got a lot of time in getting Amanda’s character up on FFXI… I need to get in there and get mine going again. I’ve been so focused on getting her up to speed I’ve neglected my own character greatly. It’s good though, she’s doing great and has a ton of key components to start moving forward. I was also able to get a couple things done for myself as well in-game so I did get *some* progress.

Aside from being lazy and playing FFXI and getting some much needed mountain time in Amanda and I went to go see Jumper this weekend. Pretty good flick but the ending kinda left off to abruptly for my taste… they left it open but it just felt like you didn’t get any kind of closure from it. Maybe they will make another one, who knows. After the movie though was the highlight of the weekend… we hit up Rodizio Grill here in downtown Denver. WOW is all I have to say about the food *and* the deserts in that place. You get there, you get seated, get a bowl full of appetizers (the Pao de Queijo and Bolinho de Arroz rock!) brought out and you’re turned loose on the salad bar… By the time you come back there are a couple plates on your table for the meat and oh man is that some good stuff… They constantly come around with meat on skewers cutting you off pieces at your request. You have a little device on your table that you either have with Green up (for them to keep coming to your table) or Red up (so they know to skip you while you’re taking a break)… Needless to say our’s stayed Green up for quite some time, lol. If you’re ever in the mood for some serious beef, chicken, buffalo, fish, etc… that is definitely the place to get your fill. I definitely recommend the Rabanada for a desert personally. 🙂

Well… it’s back to the craziness of work so I need to end this here… I’ve got to get a ton of stuff done today so I can drive up to Rock Springs, Wyoming tomorrow to fix some problems we’re having up there… oh the fun.

You would think we were gone for a couple days or something. LOL 🙂
