DPHH, Rehoboth...
After having a "free" dinner at our work, which consisted pizzas and alcohol to our heart and stomach's content, KT, Cliff and I headed to Adam's Morgan for DPHH.
I dunno if it was just the wrong timing or what, but DPHH sucked...big time. There is usually a large crowd of Deafies and usually see familiar faces. I had seen a couple of Deafies here and there before arriving to The Reef and even saw a group standing outside the bar. We went in and went up to the second floor. This floor was mostly the restaurant with a little bar. It was HOT on that floor...I think because of the kitchen located there.
Anyways, the designs were interesting. However, the atmosphere is dark...definitely not Deaf-friendly. Just saw a couple of familiar faces but not someone that you would just HAVE to chat to. Went up the 3rd floor, which was really outside on the roof. Bar and a small dining area and still didn't see any Deafies. Went down the 1st floor and it was EMPTY. Looked outside and no one was there anymore. Like I said, dunno if it was just the wrong timing or the location had been moved at the last minute. Whatever... We finished our drinks and left.
The next morning, Cliff and I got up and drove up to Rehoboth Beach. We could have gotten there sooner but there was a LONG delay on 50. Traffic everywhere! Seemed that everyone wanted to go to some beach in Delaware.
We finally got to the beach in the late afternoon. I was only on the beach for 30 minutes and then I had to leave to help out the committee to prepare for a fundraising event. I couldn't complain about the beach because everyone was saying that the water was freezing.
The fundraising event was alright...nothing special. After that, I went to get Cliff from Cloud 9 so we could head back home. After a little walk on the beach, we finally drove back home. It was freaky driving back. At first, Cliff and I had been chatting about our events at the beach. Then, I started to noticed that there were deers, on the side of the roads, waiting to cross. I thought...oh my goodness, it would be a bad accident if a deer decided to prance across the road and was hit by a car. (I've heard horror stories about car/deer accidents from my dad. He's a nurse.) So, both of us had our eyes on the road, watching for deers. Finally, after we got to the Bay Bridge, we just relaxed.
Went to Chester's for a really late dinner and then dropped off Cliff and I came home just before 4am.
Slept til about noon and then woke up. KT had been doing some things here and there with Jon. He came home and brought me some lunch from Baja Fresh. First time I've eaten something from there. Not bad... KT also bought me a bouquet of flowers. Awwww...how sweet! It was just really nice!
KT's favorite football team is the Denver Broncos. So, yesterday, I watched bits of news about John Elway being inducted into the Hall of Fame. He's the first Bronco to be inducted.
Ohmigod. We had Tivo'd a movie...Jack Frost 2: Revenge of the Mutant Killer Snowman (or something like that). Talk about cheap and cheesy! It looked like it was made in someone's backyard with some cheap props. The dialogue...goodness, was just corny!!! We watched like 10 minutes of it and we were just laughing at the sheer stupidity of the film.
I love watching E! Sometimes have specials about the life of some celebrity. I had mentioned some time ago about Britney Spears and I already love her. Yesterday, we watched one, chronicling the lives of Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen. Did you know they are multi-millionaires? They have been before the age of 10. They have their own production company, DualStar. Besides Full House, they had made their money with direct-to-video films. They've tried 2 other television series. They have launched their own clothing line, which began with Wal-Mart, which have expanded into cosmetics, bedding and many others...about 47 categories. Not only that but their clothing line have been expanded to be available internationally. They're directors and producers and already had their first film. They had a cameo appearance on Charlie's Angels 2.
Yeah, they're twins but they have expressed interests in doing work individually. They will eventually not want to work together all the time...just occasionally. Dang, these women are already set for life! (They've been listed among the top 100 Powerful Women, along with Oprah Winfrey and Julia Roberts. Their empire is estimated to be worth $1 billion dollars!)
They've just received their first "bad" publicity...well, really Mary-Kate did. Mary-Kate announced she was going into rehab for an eating disorder. Well, that is just the beginning... The media is now fully aware of the twins and have just recently began to give them attention.
Anyways...ta ta for now...
