Scooterin'

I got a scooter!!! I'm in love! It's a 1985 Honda Aero - gets up to almost 40 mph. And the beauty is, I don't need a motorcycle endorsement on my license - just had to get plates and tags for it and I was ready to go!! It runs great, but is a little bit of a fixer-upper. Someone must have had an accident on it on the left side, as the left side body panel is missing. So...I'm working on tracking one of those down. We already replaced the left turn signal and brake handle for super-cheap.
This is a picture of the same scooter I have, but one that this random guy restored:

Birthday Shenanigans

Went to the Voodoo Lounge for my 23rd b-day! Weee! Rented out the Blue VIP Room...blue walls, carpet, couch, pillows, and a 200-gallon fish tank with a black light. Drake made cheesecake, we ordered many drinks and yummy food. There was a bachelorette party happening in the Red VIP Room - Heather and I took a peek at the stripper, but he seemed to take forever getting his clothes off and we lost interest.
Phil got drunkenly riled up when he saw a patron showing a video of a dog fight to the bartender (yeah I don't get it either).
We then moved on to Southpark and I tasted the best drink EVER: Mangopolitan. I highly recommend it. Then Phil started talking about Coke Stevenson and how he's the founder of Texas...but he did it VERY LOUDLY and wouldn't SHUT THE HELL UP. He apparently thinks the story is pretty amazing. But I just wanted to eat my fried chick peas and hummus and not listen to Texas history.
It was a super fun night and I wore really uncomfortable shoes..and they were red. Yay!
