Detox

With swimsuit season just around the corner, it's time to shape up. April will look like this:

-NO FAST FOOD (only sushi (one roll) on sundays)
-NO ALCOHOL (Stone, I'll see you in May)
-Gym minimum of five days a week

Robot Party!

070707

With a vacation day on Friday, my weekend started a day earlier than normal. Thursday night was still all about poker, with the added presence of DK, and after a long battle, I managed to finish second...I believe that's my best since we started playing.

Friday I took full advantage of my day off by catching up on some sleep. After I dragged myself out of bed, Brother Chadwick and I headed to Banbu Sushi for some lunch. The prices were a little steep but, the food was great and they gave us a ten dollar gift card to use on our next visit. After lunch, Eli, Nathan, Nate, and I headed to San Diego Brewing for some tasty beverages...BLIND PIG! After kicking around the idea of a bon fire, we decided to go to some crazy Korean place for Karaoke and beer. I can't even put into words what happened next, one of the funniest drunk performances Eli has ever put on...click tracks followed, then sleep.

Saturday we laid down live recordings of the songs we've been working on and jammed a little. Next it was time to get the Dalorean up to 88 and head back to 2007, a simpler time. Even though I didn't make the journey up to Stone, I still reaped all the benefits. By the time we made to the party that night, I decided it might be best to save the growler til I could get it nice and cold. That proved to be a smart decision.

Sunday morning started the way every morning should, I cracked open the growler and tasted the sweet nectar of 2007 (far tastier than 2006). I spent most of the day relaxing and watching the NCAA tournament, until Nathan decided it would be fitting to return to our old sushi stomping grounds (Tokyo Sushi). The food was delicious and we even found our picture from 07 hanging on the wall.

I guess I should include this since it just happened as I was typing-

Japan just won the World Baseball Classic, beating Korea 5-3 on a 2 RBI single in the 10th by ICHIRO! That's how a ninja eats!

WBC

Last night I went to (round two) game four of the World Baseball Classic, Japan vs Korea. The experience was unlike anything I've ever seen. Baseball was the game, but the energy felt more like a quidditch matchor World Cup soccer. There may have only been a few thousand people, each with Thunder Sticks in hand, but that place was louder than any Padre game I've ever been to.

Alright so maybe the 06 Vertical Epic wasn't quite as stinky as I had hoped. I'm not saying it was bad, far from it in fact, it was just a little too dark to enjoy in large quantities.

This weekend was exactly what I needed after a stressful week of having to censor myself around the Grandparents.

Got some good beer, good practice (cut a little short but still good), relaxing afternoon with my Dad up at Stone, watched some WBC, and a nice Sushi Sunday to top it all off. The only thing that could have made this weekend better would've been seeing Mexico beat Korea...oh well Japan vs Korea will still be fun, and you can bet your ass I'll be slamming those thunder sticks!

Waste

I wish that I could say my weekend was a great as everyone else's. I guess it wasn't all bad though... Saturday was packed with enough excitement to still make for an overall good weekend. Is there anything that goes better with a growler of Stone than a condo party downtown(hope Nathan and I weren't too rambunctious for you)?

Unfortunately it was sandwiched between The Watchmen (officially the biggest waste of time and money for 2009) and the disappointment of not being able to go to the zoo.

As much as I wanted to go to the zoo and was willing to blow off family, spending the day with my grandparents ended up being pretty fun and it was the right thing to do.

War Zone

Santee is slowly turning into one giant construction site. At least the Sonic is beginning to take shape.
