Can we win in less than 12 innings tonight?

For reals, I had such a fun weekend. Let me count the ways...

First, on Friday night, my two work pals and I went out "watch the Angels game" at BJs. And by "watch the Angels game," I mean, be surprised by our assistant principal and secretary having drinks and gossiping. We reluctantly sat with them and shot the shit for a few hours until they both left and we finally had time to...watch the Angels lose. Our night of girl talk hardly happened.

Second, on Saturday morning, I ran a measly 4 miles and had my "send off" for the marathon, which is this Sunday. It got me all excited and sad because that was our last practice. I actually enjoyed waking up at the butt crack of dawn to run. No, I'm serious.

Third, on Saturday afternoon/night, I went to the USC/Oregon game, whereupon I wore Oregon colors to root for my friend's step-brother on the Oregon team. I've decided that wearing the opposing team's colors to any games besides a Dodger's game or Raider's game is way more fun than wearing the home team's colors. So many people talk to you! Sure, some of the comments were really lame (Go back to Eugene! was my favorite), but most of the people are guys and it gives them a chance to say something smart ass, which I always appreciate. We spent the day tailgating (i.e. drinking too many Patron margies and eating too much bean dip, sitting on the grass in front of the LA Memorial Colosseum), and then watched the game, where Oregon got smoked.

Fourth, on Sunday, I went to a new bowling alley/lounge in Anaheim (Ana-Crime, Ana-Slime) where I paid $10.50 for a margie at 10:00am. Holy hell. Oh, and we watched football, which I love. (I hate watching pro football.) Then I went to my grandma's where I quickly said Happy Bday, ate, and left to watch the Angels game at a nearby dive bar. I'm so glad they finally won to keep themselves alive in this sad series with Boston. I'll keep my fingers crossed for another win tonight.

So many sporting events, too much alcohol, and getting no laundry or cleaning done = fun weekend. Maybe less alcohol next time. I'm getting to old for it. It makes me sleepy. And sleepy is boring.
