The Weekender

The Weekender is back from So Cal AGAIN! My girl Scrappy and I had gone down to Cerritos/Pomona area to visit our two girlfriends. We flew into Ontario and find out there is NOTHING out there. I have to admit it's a very clean re-modeled airport, the size of Oakland Airport but as we stepped out side...COW CRAP! Oh god..I swore I was in Cow-alinga!!! We head for the rental cars and pick up our 4x4 Ford Escape! WOO HOO!!! I have to admit, this is a nice ride and accelerates a little faster than the CR-V. We're buying time to meet up w/ Anime` in Cerritos so we end up driving to Ontario Mills Shopping Center. The first thing I notice is that everything is soooooooooooo spread out. We decide to drive thru the parking lots to window shop...and finally find Hooters to grub at. YES I said HOOTERS!! Ok you know how our Hooters in the City have flatsy girls and not the typical Hooter Girls...well over there...they were your skinny ass blonde/brunette girls w/ big ol' boobage. I swear these girls backs hurt at the end of the day cause of the weight they're carryin on their chest. Well that was an experience though, of course mainly all men in the restaurant on their lunch break. How was the food???? Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaight.... yup..the cobb salad was good but they're supposedly known for the hot wings...NOT!!! Not even hot...

So let's get to the highlight of the trip. Friday evening Anime', Scrappy, Flying Hands and I drove down to Irvine Spectrum. I guess 10 years ago this was just your average mall but in the past couple of years it has totally expanded that when you park your car, you can take a tram to the edge of the outdoor mall. It has a freakin ferris wheel for god's sakes and a big ol FOREVER 21, yes the women can relate to me here. For dinner/drinks we walk over to The Yard House. If you've ever hit one of these, they have the largest selection in the world of beers you can ever think of (supposedly) and you have the option of ordering a "yard" of beer. Literally, they'll serve your beer in a container that's a yard long, along w/ a wooden stand so it can be supported upright on the floor or on your table.. funky huh??? So you know how the Weekender does when she's out w/ her girls... After a skye collins, peach martini, white zin, 3 1/2 pineapple kamikazes... can you guess what happened??? hahahahha At least I was able to hold it all in from Irvine to Cerritos, which is about 20-30 minute drive.. WOO HOO..what a trooper!!! I haven't drank like that in HELLA LONG!!! I'd have to say practically a year ago...

So the next day you think hangover right??? NOT!!! What a trip huh? Unfortunately the rest of the girls were and we were goin to Disneyland!!!!! It's a good thing I paid a visit to the Toilet Buddah!!! So why Disneyland??? It is sooooooooooooo beautiful during the holidays. Anime` stated right before Thanksgiving do they deck out all the X-mas decorations. The decorate Main Street and the Holiday Parade is showered w/ snow, A Small World is all X-mas'd out and The Haunted Masion is transformed into the characters from The Nightmare Before Christmas. I'd have to say it's a must-see!!! Of course all the rides are the same but right now the closed Thunder Moutain Railroad due to it de-railing only 2 weeks after I was there back in August and someone died. And Space Mountain is closed due to renovation till 2004/5 I think??? So keep that in mind folks if you're plannin to go to Disneyland in the Winter..

All in all, we had a wonderful time seeing our girls down in So Cal just chillin and relaxin. No hurry to get anywhere, dashin here and there. Although yesterday we were mad dashing from the rental car to the Southwest Terminal, it was 3:50pm and my flight was 4:20pm. Thank god Ontario Airport is not crazy busy like our own over here.
