Interleague play

So it looks like were heading to LA to see the Padres play the Angels, which is sweet. I've heard a lot of great things about that park and haven't made the trip to check it out. Also, I'm probably gonna go to all three games when Seattle is in town, if anyone wants to come with. I'll most likely just get the cheapest tickets possible and then move to better seats. It's mid-week so it shouldn't be too crowded.

Live long and prosper!

What a crazy weekend! I think I spent less than four hours awake in my house all weekend.

We played some early poker under the sun on Thursday, since we were going to Star Trek, which was amazing. Friday night, we did some beer bong time trials on Ryder before heading up to Justyn’s to end the night with little Dorothy. I still can’t believe Martin weighed in with a two second time. Saturday morning felt more like a Sunday since we woke up early and headed to the field for some baseball. For some reason I had more fun this time, probably because Justyn was able to come and we played on a better field. After baseball, the only logical thing to was head to the beach to escape the Santee heat. This proved to be a bad idea since the beach was cold, overcast, and windy…still not enough to stop one of us from swimming. We tossed the football around a little and then headed back to Santee to shower and head to Stone. I was pretty excited to go since I hadn’t been in about 6 weeks. However, my excitement quickly disappeared after standing at the bar for ten minutes without being served. Oh well, at least I still got my growler filled. I ended up heading home fairly early so I could get up early and do something nice for my Mom. Sunday, my Mom wanted to go to the zoo and whatever mama wants, mama gets, on Mother’s Day at least. After a fun day at the zoo, we got some sushi and then Nathan, Kate, “Walty”, Sean, and I went to see Star Trek…just as good the second time.

Trekkies

Star Trek premiere tonight! I wish we had costumes uniforms.

Hello May

With April over, it’s time to reunite with an old friend I like to call beer. I underestimated how low my tolerance would be after only a month of abstaining but, that paired with seeing friends that I've missed just made the experience that much more enjoyable.

I think we’re taking a week off from Sunday baseball for Mother’s Day. Hopefully, it doesn’t make the entire thing fall apart…fingers crossed. I’m growing quite fond of beginning my week with tender muscles after a fun day in the sun.

As I’m typing this, I can feel the sting of my sunburn, which means summer is just around the corner.


P.S. What happened to the Padres *sigh*

Pandemic?

The stupid “Swine Flu” is pissing me off. “You don’t have it and it’s extremely unlikely that you're at risk of contracting it!” For the love of God, STFU!

DCFC

The Death Cab show last night was awesome…nothing compared to seeing them headline Bumbershoot in Seattle but, still good. The venue was nice and intimate and the lineup was solid.

Ra Ra Riot was the perfect band to open the show. I’ve always enjoyed them but would’ve probably never paid to go see them so; it was a bonus to have them play the show.

Next on stage was Cold War Kids. This is another band that I’d never seen play live but always wanted to. As soon as they hit the stage, the familiar odor of marijuana instantly filled the room…for some reason this surprised me. Their set was quite a bit shorter than I would’ve liked but, I guess that’s what happens when you’re not the headliner.

Before seeing them in Seattle, I really wasn’t a Death Cab for Cutie fan, AT ALL. However, they put on a live show unlike any I’ve ever experienced. The set was nearly two hours longs and was filled with one great song after another.

Baseball

This weekend was pretty much completely centered around baseball. Friday night Nathan, Eli, Garrett, Ruben, and I took the trolley down to Petco to see what would turn out to be the only Padres win of the weekend. I ended up getting duped on the hot dog deal but the game was really good and we even got some bonus baseball. The "Friarworks" that followed the game were nothing to write home about, but were still pretty cool, especially after a win.

Saturday we ended up playing catch and a game of over the line at the park for about three hours. After the park, we headed to Boomer's to hit up the batting cages...even got in a little DDR session. As day turned to night, we headed to Ranch 99 for some dinner. The spicy garlic shrimp I got was really tasty but I wasn't really in the mood to eat a ton of it.
I won't even go into detail about the stupid theme party that followed, because it sucked, just as predicted.

Sunday I got up early and went to look for a new glove so I could sell Lucas my other one. Then, a surprisingly large group of people gathered at West Hills Park for a full nine inning legit baseball game.

Other than the sunburn and my arm feeling like it's going to fall off, fun times.
