Memorial Day

This weekend was what I would consider a success. It was nice going into it knowing that we had a three day weekend - which helped it feel a lot longer than just one extra day. The work week itself wasn't terrible - but it still dragged (probably because I was excited for the long weekend).

                                           Not a bad view from work

Friday night we went out in Santa Monica to a bar called Q's and just played pool and drank beer. It was an overall good time. The actual pool playing was mainly dominated by Rob as he owned a table growing up and he ran myself and Jordan into the ground in every game we played. I did manage to put my team int he position to win - but tragically, I scratched after putting the 8 ball in the pocket I called. Whomp whomp.

Saturday we got up early, got breakfast and hung out for a while, letting our food settle/digest. Our friend came over and we went to the local bball courts and played for a good 2 and a half hours. We played amongst ourselves some 2 v 2 and eventually some kids who asked us to play 4 v 4. Lots of fun aside - we totally schooled the other team when we played. It was awesome.

Sunday we drove up to Malibu and went hiking in the Malibu Creek Stare Park. It was a good time - beautiful day, no clouds. We saw a lot of wildlife, some hawks, beetles, lizards, even a rattle snake (no, even I wasn't dumb enough to go near it.

And today, we got a group of 9 together and went to a Dodgers game. What made it better was that the seats were only $14 bucks and it was dollar Dodger Dog Day - so I literally gained 3lbs from the game (I weighed myself before and after).

As I said - it was an overall solid weekend. No complaints. And the best part? I only have a four day work week. Hell Yeah!


Oh right....I also got some sun this weekend. You could say I have a bit of a farmer's tan going...
