• This weekend was supposed to be a busy weekend, but has not been. My
  plans on Friday night were canceled, so I decided to rent a couple of
  movies. I finally saw Brokeback Mountain, which I did think was very
  good. The movie I was really looking forward to, though, was Syriana
  and all I have to say is "huh?" I couldn't be anymore disappointed, not
  only was it a bit confusing, but it really didn't seem to have much of
  a point, which is ok for a simple movie like Clerks, but not for
  something more complex. Although, I have to say, the scene in which
  George Clooney had his fingernails pulled off was different and
  painful.

  Yesterday was first the Cubs-Sox game at my house and then the bbq at
  Mark's house. As for the game, it was just John, Keith & Heather
  (plus their son, David) and Scooty and Kris. I'm just going to pretend
  that the game ended after the 8th inning and end it at that.

  After the game, I rode with Keith and Heather over to the bbq. We
  stopped off at Dominicks to get some shit, mainly ice cream and Oreos.
  Does it get any better than that? While walking in the store, I had my
  Cubs jersey on and Heather had her Sox jersey on. A man who did not
  have any baseball stuff on to me "you know, the Sox won today" to which
  I replied "Really? You know, I hadn't noticed" and Heather said "yeah,
  because the Cubs suck" and I quickly replied "really? Hmmm, I hadn't
  noticed." Damn fucking Cubs, look what they have made me resort to?
  Telling pointless story about how I try to live in denial about my shit
  ass baseball team.

  The bbq was fun. I really wanted to have a beanbag tournament, but it
  never happened, although we did still play. I did all right, but the
  highlight game, for me anyways, was a game in which Dave and I were
  playing Keith and Heather. We were down at one point 16-7, but managed
  to cut it to 18-12. I then got hot and we wound up completing the
  comeback, winning 21-19. Now, if only the Cubs could do that.

  ::sigh:: I've got a story that Craig told us last night that I really
  want to tell because its funny as hell, but I won't tell it for his own
  sake. Which really sucks, because it was funny as hell.

  Almost forgot, was supposed to go to the Taste of Chicago today, but that didn't happen either. Damn.
