Chattanooga

I spent Friday and Saturday in Chattanooga, hanging out with Amanda and had a pretty swell time. Even though Amanda probably almost got us kicked out of the hotel for throwing ice over the balcony and at people's doors as well as me for no apparent reason.

Anyway, we spent most of Saturday walking around downtown and we ate at a rib joint called Sticky Fingers and that food was gooooood! Unfortunately, I couldn't finish it all because I foolishy filled up on their potato skins, but it was still goooood!

After that we stopped by a bunch of other stores before going to see an Imax movie about Bugs of the Rainforest which was pretty cool despite the prescence of about half a billion screaming kids there.

Later on we sat around and people watched and Amanda asked me to explain to her how "THE MAN" is constantly monitoring and harrassing law abiding black folk. From undercover agents to re-education transports disguised as mass transit, THE MAN is always keeping an eye on the people. I'm still not sure if she's an agent or not. So I guess I'll follow the "keep your friends close, and enemies closer" protocal with her. Oh yeah, it was hot as hell there! It got up to 93 friggin' degrees!

Anyway, after a few more hours of walking and sitting around we decided to take off when Amanda's head really started hurting.

When we got to K-town, we ate Ruby Tuesdays at West town and Manda was acting a bit loopy from the Alleve she took. After dinner we went around the mall for awhile and actually got lost! She's from Morristown and the only reason I go to the mall is to watch a movie and go to ONE store. That was fun. During all this time, my stomach was doing cartwheels and I really had to use the bathroom, but there was NO WAY I was gonna do a "number 2" in a public restroom. Finally, we got the hell outta there and made a beeline for my apartment. I don't even think Manda was outta my car when I ran out and barricaded myself in my bathroom and turned it into a LEVEL 5 bio hazzard.

After that, I noticed that Manda was still acting weird so I made her stay at my place until I was satisfied that she was able to drive and a few hours crashing on my couch, she was finally competent enough to drive home.
