So i'm home. Atoning for my sins I guess. I slept through temple this am...so there is sin #1. I'm sure I've got more.
This weekend was fun mixed with relaxing. Kate and Justin's engagement party was a lot of fun. There was this beefy dude next to us (not with our party) playing pool at the table next to us. He's the kinda guy that girls may have been swooning over like 10 years ago. Longish hair, big muscles, etc. Anyway he kept strutting his stuff awkwardly by us. Even at one point walking into Kate. He then ended up next to me, and I swear did the "bend and snap"...I was not impressed.
I was going to blog about the sermon last night, but i decided you wouldn't be interested in that. If i can find the link to the organization it was about maybe i'll post that later.

Without sound is always better
Last night at the gym I picked a machine that didn't have one of those contraptions to let you listen to any of the 3 TV's in front of the machines. This isn't such a bad thing since lately one TV is on C-Span, one is espn, and one is WGN...seriously??? those are my options??? I'm much better just listening to my ipod.
Anyway, on WGN last night was wwf superstars, or something like that. Normally I don't like these shows, but without sound it was hilarious. Obviously the wrestlers are just ridiculous and their outfits are crazy. The one thing i was able to notice without sound is that unless gravity was involved noone actually ever made contact with anyone else. You'd see one guy fake a punch and the other guy react seconds before contact. Sometimes they werent even CLOSE when the other person would react. I mean i know its all staged, but its funny to actually see it

Bedtime Stories
Yes, thats right. I actually watched bedtime stories. As you may have guessed I am a huge Adam Sandler fan, to the extent where I even love Little Nicky, Big Daddy, and other generally disliked movies of his.
Anyway we watched it (leaving click and dont mess with the zohan as the only adam sandler movies i've never seen and probably never will). It was......terrible and totally ridiculous. The person who wrote it HAD to have been high. seriously. We kept looking at each other at every turn in the movie going "wtf just happened" -- But we couldn't stop watching. I don't know why, but we had to see it through to the end.
Anyway, dont waste an evening like we did. Go find another movie to watch

Weekend in Baltimore
This weekend I went to Baltimore for the Friday night and sat night red sox games at Camden yards. The games were fun and we won both games. I kinda feel bad for baltimore b/c the entire city got taken over, even all the local stores were selling redsox stuff and not o's stuff. oh well.
We also went to the baltimore aquarium, a place i've been trying to go since the last time the sox were in town. I was super pumped to see the jelly fish, but we never made it to that exhibit. Instead i was forced to go see a stupid dolphin show and watch poor animals in captivity do tricks for food in front of an audience. awesome. Also that is probably hands down the worst aquarium i've ever been to, and i've been to a lot. I wont list the reasons why it wasnt a top notch aquarium, but i will say i dont like the one way flow of the exhibits. You just get stuck, and there were way too many people to even see anything. That being said I will go back just for the jelly fish. The only thing i wanted to see in the first place.

New TV
So last night I watched the new nbc show community. It wasn't what you'd call good, but it has potential. Three characters were good, and funny, and i even laughed out loud twice. The rest of the characters were terrible actors and so annoying, and hopefully they wont be in future episodes. In case anyone is reading my blog that has any say I will spell out what was good and what was bad
Good Characters/Actors
1. Joel Mchale - i wasnt sure i'd like him in this role but he's great
2. John Oliver - I always like him, but he fit well in that role too. I was un sure at first, but by the end he had sold it
3. some dude named Danny Pudi - Annoying at first, but had me laughing out loud once i was use to it
Bad Characters/Actors
1. Chevy Chase - he's alright as an actor, but sucky character in this show
2. The annoying blond girl- she's cross eyed, did anyone else notice that?
3. Annoying brunette - wtf, just stop talking. sooooo annoying. I know the role was to be like that, but i think she went above and beyond and hammed it up
4. Football star - he's probably the worst, and too much of an over actor. Also stop talking.
So i'll give the show a few more chances and we'll see what happens.

Here's the thing
I love bowling. There, i've said it. The weird thing is that i'm totally and completely inconsistent. Some nights I kick butt, and some I suck. Last night was the latter. I didnt break 100 once! Usually I can break 100 most games. I dont know what was up. But i want another chance! so to anyone out there that is interested lets go bowling :)

Back and ready for a full week of work!
I'm back from cape cod and nice and relaxed. It was great. The most exciting part was when we went to look for great white sharks, and instead found out how cute the seals are playing in the waves just a few feet away from people. So adorable! Unfortunately the day we were there one got bit by a shark :( poor seal :(
Last night's patriots game was more than a little stressful. way to wait until the last minute to pull ahead then let the bills have some super crazy play that almost looked like they were going to escape us and get a touchdown.

Things I will do
1. beach walks
2. shopping in chatham
3. mini golf
4. driving ranges
5. movies
6. general relaxation
I'm looking forward to every moment of it.

Pedro!!!
Last night peter and I went to the phillies nats game to watch pedro pitch. This blog is not about pedro in the least, but about the crazy phillies fans.
Our seats were above the phillies bullpen, so as soon as we got to our seats we knew that we were in phillies territory, but they were all around our age and seemed cool so it was ok. (as opposed to last time when we had a lot of redneck phillies families around us).
Infront of us were three guys and one girl who all seemed pretty cool and quiet and just wanted to watch the game, and all had phillies jerseys. two rows behind us were fat annoying girls in jerseys with loud smokers voices and were yelling/cheering at everything. One of the girls had kool-aid dyed red hair and eyebrows even. she was the loudest.
At one point peter got up to get my dippin' dots, and just as he left they started some weird "t-shirt toss sponsored by [someone's] sausage", and just my luck one flew right at the empty seat now next to me. I kinda pretended to try for it half heartedly, but the guy in front of me turned around and got it. darn ;). At this point the girl with kool-aid hair started obnoxiously yelling "give it to the little kid!". This was the first time I noticed a little kid was even in our section. The guy that caught the shirt said "its going to be tripple xL what is the kid going to do with that???".
The guy then unwrapped the T-shirt to see what it looked like (white with a tiny wording on the front saying "welcome home" with the nats w) and out came a sausage wrapped in tin foil from the center of the shirt. The guy threw it up to the kool-aid girl and said "do whatever you want with it"
So the Kool-aid girl gave it to the kid....but the kid wasnt looking and ended up hitting the kid in the head with a sausage as she tossed it over to him. At this point the dad got mad and got the section security over there.
The security goes "do you want the sausage back? the kid doesnt want it" and the girl said no, and for some reason the security guy asked again and the girl said "I dont eat meat, so blow me". The security guy goes "watch your mouth this is a family environment" to which the girl replies "what? I didnt swear!" At this point he kicked her out of the ball park and all of section 101 cheered.

My long weekend
so many things happened this weekend!
1. Joe and Erin "got married"...ok so they were married before...twice, but this was the ceremony and party for friends. It was at a farm out in perciville va and was gorgeous. The ceremony was infront of a cute little white house with columns, and the party was in the middle of the farm on a hill in tents.
2. Peter and I visited harpers ferry. It was kinda pretty at first, but then we walked up to the top of a hill to see jefferson's rock which was said to be the most beautiful sight thomas jefferson ever saw. It wasnt that amazing to me.
3. We accidentally stayed at the inn at charlestown which happened to be the hotel portion of charlestown races and slots. The action was NOT hot there. They had a lot of old school slot machines, and it was entirely smoking, so we lost 6 dollars and came out smelling of smoke.
4. We went to 4 vineyards. 2 of which i'd been to before and 2 new ones. it was a lot of fun and very pretty.
those are the main highlights

Adventure land
We bought adventure land b/c as i've mentioned before I like everything with martin starr, and peter had heard that adventure land was good.
It was alright. I wouldnt hate on it, but i also dont htink i'd recomend it.
1. It could have been funnier. They had a great cast including kristing wiig, bill haeder, martin starr. They just didnt have any moments where i was laughing out loud really.
2. The story line wasnt really all that original or interesting.
that being said it did hold my attention for the whole movie. So i dont know, its a wash.

Red Card
Check out 2:30-2:37 ish to see the replay of the red card and how wick gets in the ref's face.
Its that time of year again!
This post is mainly for Leslie, but although we are talking on IM right now I figured I'd post it here for all to share.
During the Halloween-Christmas stretch candy is at its best.
Hershey's kisses really branch out during this time. They experiment with all sorts of flavors like cherry jubilee, mint truffles, candy cane.
Yesterday I was at target and I saw the first sign of these new flavors appearing. This year's flavor: Pumpkin Spice
Its actually really good

Red Cards make soccer even more fun!
Last night Peter, Allan, and Allan's friend and I went to the DC united vs Seattle Sounders US Open Cup game. Seattle won, but the game was still super exciting, and I'll tell you why.
The game was 0-0 for most of the game, until this one little dude with shaved stripes in his hair scored a goal on us. As he scored he also fell to the ground. Next thing i know he's writhing around in pain. I look to the tv screens to see the replay and it looks like he scored, fell to the ground, then someone running behind him couldn't stop thier momentum and accidentally tromped on him.
The ref then appears with a red card! Ok, i could understand a yellow card, but red??? lets see that replay again.
They showed the replay but this time from a wider frame where you can see where the person who couldn't stop their momentum came from. It turns out that the guy scored the goal, fell down, and then the goalie who is now just standing still decides to take a running jump onto this guy's hand/crotch. Thats just like I always say, jump on their crotch while they are down, and make sure you are wearing cleats!
I will try and find a vid and post it later

Weeds
This season has only been so so. Half way through the season we were wondering why we were even watching, and i decided that it was because we were too far in to stop.
The season finale on the other hand turned everything around. I cant wait for next season. Although i wouldnt mind if they wrote the entire hodes family out. Well except issabel. she can stay.
The sons are getting to be good characters again. Season one shane was my favorite character with all his bear hunting, video making, and all around crazyness. I think he has been the subtle best character the entire series really. Silas is actually getting to be a likable and responsible character too which is cool especially since nancy is so totally the opposite.
