All about the weekend

So I never post much on weekends. I'm going to attribute this to me not wanting to sit on a computer over the weekend since I do it so much during the week. And when I do sit on the computer, I don't really want to post anything. I'd rather just buy something over the internet!

But this weekend was a hectic weekend, so I'll share with you all some of the highlights...

On Friday night, I went to see "The Chronicles of Riddick." I read nothing but bad reviews of this movie, so I wasn't expecting anything. But I really wanted to watch it after seeing "Pitch Black." I thought Riddick was an awesome character. And the movie was pretty fricking cool. In any case, I was rather impressed with the chronicles. It was a really fun and entertaining movie. The ending was dumb, but the rest of it was thoroughly entertaining. In any case, if you want something fun to watch, check the movie out.

It was Alli's last weekend in SB, so we got together at Dargan's and had drinks. We were situated in the perfect spot. We were in a back corner that was a little secluded, so we could talk, and we were right up against the bar, so we could order drinks very easily. We got Alli good and drunk. I think she had 11 or 12 drinks. I'm proud of that little girl. She held her liquor! Alli, you'll be missed!

We had a bbq for Carrie on Sunday. She is leaving us to go to Texas for grad school. It seems this seems to be the time that people start leaving. And it makes sense. This area is so expensive. It's really on the difficult side to make a living here. In any case, there must have been something in the air yesterday, because we saw 2 fights at Leadbetter beach. The first fight was between 2 women. I'm not sure what it was about, but I heard them yelling at each other, and a bunch of people separating them. About 30 minutes later, a hippie fight broke out! I have no idea what happened, but basically one of them stepped on a piece of glass that the other guy broke, and all hell broke loose. The cops came, and ended up booking one of the hippies. And boy was he resisting arrest. As entertaining as it was to watch, I ended up feeling sorry for the guy. I'm not sure he instigated the fight, and I wonder if he was used as a scapegoat.

Then we head over to Waldman's for a bbq and to watch the Laker game. 2 bbqs in one day! I think I'm a little BBQ'd out. Michelle grilled up some fabulous burgers while I sat on my fat arse and watched the Lakers get pummeled by Detroit. You know what, I'm going to go on the record. I love the Lakers, but they aren't stepping up. They are not playing like champions, so they don't deserve to be the champions. Detroit is doing a good job clamping down on Kobe. Kobe is doing a good job passing out of double/triple teams, but the supporting cast is NOT doing a good job hitting open shots. This in turn causes Kobe to have no faith in his cast, and makes him take bad shots. I mean really, I'd rather have Kobe taking an off balanced shot, than Devean George taking a wide open shot, given the way he and the bench have been playing. Enough of that. Lakers, step up, or go home.
