Full Weekend

Friday night we ate out in downtown Lancaster at Character's. From what I've heard, it's a relatively new place, and it's really nice. The atmosphere is nice, the sandwiches were delicious and the dessert happily over the top. After that, we watched Ocean's 12.

Twelve was certainly not like Eleven. And that's a good thing. I was very happy with the sequel and would rate them as equal as far as stories go. However, 12 was much, much funnier than the first and had better cuts and edits. The story was also a lot more layered than the first. Eleven had one basic story all the way through and that's pretty much what you got. This one had a lot more going on that kept you interested and wondering. Highly recommended. I'm also anxious to own it on DVD.

Saturday we drove up to State College to watch some men's basketball. Pitt played Penn State and, except for the few seconds when Penn State led by a point, things went as expected. I didn't think that there would be that many people there, but then we found out that it was 2-for-1 ticket sales. So the four of us -- we went with Nelms and Emily -- managed to get in for $10. Awesome considering the same tickets at the Pete would have been close to $40 each. Not that I know.

Saturday night was a birthday party for Amy that was nice and quiet and a good way to relax from all the driving around Pennsylvania. In case you want to keep score at home, I go 38 MPG on the first diesel tank and 39 on the second. I think this third one will be the best because of all the highway miles.

Sunday we hung out, celebrated my dad's birthday and then went to a wedding over in Harrisburg for a family friend. Nothing exciting to report there other than the mediocre food and small allowances of cake. I'm not sure my Brandon-and-Amy Wedding Cake Piece Record of four pieces will ever be broken. So good. Yeah, it was the ice cream cake/sponge cake combination. Best thing on earth.
