Topeka Trip
Posted on October 19, 2003 by Ching under Life.
Has it really been ten days since my last blog post? It feels like time is flying by. I’m supposed to be writing a term paper that is due on the 24th but I’m experiencing writer’s block to the extreme. Term paper on hold, what better way to procrastinate than by blogging? Actually, my procrastination method of choice yesterday was online shopping but after having spent almost a grand I thought I’d better find another way to procrastinate before Brian kills me. This writer’s block thing sucks! I better find inspiration quick or else I’m dead.
Speaking of dead and killing, I saw this killer movie last night. Brian (who will be glad to know he isn’t the only one enamoured by Gogo) took me to dinner and a movie. Our movie of choice? Kill Bill Vol. 1, of course. Did you expect us to see anything else? The movie was so Mortal Kombat gory that all of the blood and gore seemed comical. I’d never thought I’d find so much death and dismemberment fun and entertaining. This is going on the “movies to own” list.
Anyway, for more goodies visit the A Band Apart website. I’ve got other business to attend to — that is, sharing some pictures that are getting stale from storage. Enjoy!
This would be Brian on the way to Topeka. We were driving there for the company bowling championships.
Brian at the Westridge Mall food court. He was waiting for me to come out of the restrooms. It wasn’t a short wait either.
This would be me, feeling much better after pooping. I tried to talk Brian into renting a room so I can unload in peace but he said that we would have to pay for the entire night/day even if we were just staying for a few hours (yes, pooping can take hours for me sometimes). I was like, “Whatever happened to them hooker rates?” I guess nice hotels/motels don’t have hooker rates. Brian was like, “What are you trying to do? Get me arrested?”
Not really. I just want to poop.
Brian goes, “I can just see myself trying to explain it to the police officer: SHE’S MY WIFE, I SWEAR!” A night in jail would make for a truly eventful trip. Not that the trip wasn’t evenful enough.
Luckily we found the mall and malls have restrooms. So there I was in the restroom at ten in the morning trying to unload, except that everyone and their freaking dog was in there with me. You’d think that there would be more peace and quiet as early as it was. But no. Of course, not. There was so much racket I couldn’t concentrate. It think it was partly my subconscious too. I hate having other people hear the plop sounds of my turd as it hits toilet water.
Much to my relief they finally left. But then I couldn’t complete my task because I was too warm (I always have to poop naked, don’t ask why). So I had to take my socks and pants off (I kept my shirt on, thank you). I come out feeling so much better a half an hour later.
Word to the wise: Do not grab breakfast at QuikTrip. The gas is good, but the food is not. Trust me on this one. I have the most resilient stomach ever. Brian can attest to this. If my stomach cannot hold it, yours won’t either.
Here are more serious pictures.
Saving the best for last..
Sunset pictures taken during the drive home.
Are you ready for some more? I’ve got so many pictures to share and they’ve just been collecting dust. This next set were pics I took on the way home from Bailamos at Wichita State. A WU-cop pulled Brian over because of the green lights on his windshield washer squirter thingies.
I would’ve much rather not been pulled over but at least he was cordial about it. And he didn’t mind having his picture taken either. So that was nice.
Here are some pics of us at Carrabba’s.
I know I said we were boycotting Carrabba’s but they have good food. What can you do?
And then these are from last night at Sumo.
Dinner and a movie. It felt like we were dating again. Dinner was great, albeit expensive. And the movie was great. Plus we were both looking very stylish with our fashionable clothes and Brian’s new truck. If people thought we were absolutely perfect before, they’re going to be thinking it even more now. Just don’t let them see the condition that our house is in. Because we are truly very ghetto.
Speaking of Brian’s new truck. I’ve got some pictures of it, too. It’s a 2002 Rodeo Sport. I didn’t even know such a thing existed. It’s the first of its kind I’ve ever seen.
The last picture was taken last week when it was sunny and somewhat warm. We rode it top-down. I like his new car a lot. It suits him well.
The last set of pictures are pictures that were taken by Brian to profess his undying love for me. You’ll see what I mean when you see them.

That is a great idea!
P.S. The SUV you see is no longer part of the family. We traded it in last year to get me my first new car – Bebot, the Corolla. 🙂 It has better gas mileage.

Ching, we need the tennis rackets back. Dad and I are looking into tennis lessons, again! Need something to keep fit and moving.

Wow! Wonderful pictures! Love your SUV — perfect for Manila.
Goodness! You and me both, Ching, with public bathroom shyness. By the way, my nephew offered an alternative — the comfort rooms inside the movie theaters are most often used only before and after the showing of the movie 🙂
Have a good day!
