Frances and Jason's Visit to DC

This past weekend Jason came to visit, also bringing Frances. It was good to see Frances again, after a long hiatus. She’s always interesting to talk to and she likes to ask thoughtful, occasionally jarring questions. At least talking with her makes me think harder about stuff. Jason…well Jason was just being Jason. At one point, he became a duck and started quacking nonstop at the lunch table because he saw it on Scrubs. We watched a lot of Scrubs this past weekend. It was a Scrubs themed weekend.

Highlights of the trip – going rock climbing AGAIN at Galyans/Dick’s. The guy who worked there that time looked like Scott Bailey Wolf, cute boy. A bit young for me though. I tried the next hardest route after the beginner one. I couldn’t make it to the very top. Frances is so athletic. She breezed through the same course. Jason wasn’t able to make it to the very top either. So essentially Frances kicked both our butts.

Another highlight was playing tennis after they left. I am starting lessons with a friend of my parents’. He’s very good. He has given me some good pointers. He told me that I have some power in my swings, but I need to work on control and consistency. Also, I tend to run away from the ball and thus making it difficult for me to hit the ball at the “sweet spot”. Tennis is starting to grow on me. I really enjoy and respect the sport. I guess I have my sweetie to thank for introducing the sport to me in the first place.

Oh yeah, we went to see Miami Vice Friday night. Wow, sexy Gong Li really heated up the screen with a retro-werewolfy Colin Farrell. Gong Li is probably pushing 40 at least, but she has aged really well. Aside from the love interest and some gruesome scenes of violence, the movie was only decent. Both Frances and I liked it for the hotness of the male lead more than anything else.
