BETRAYAL Sunday, September 26, 2004 |
Okay, Connie and I just watched the Return of the Jedi DVD. And I don't know what rock I was living under, but the whole Hayden Christensen thing at the end was the biggest slap in the face to come out of those bastardized movies.
Connie didn't understand what the big deal was. The best analogy I had was bringing a hot chick home and finding out she's a dude.

SO I WAS WRONG |
This morning, gathered around the laundry room, I had a twenty minute chat with "Bible Lady," our neighbor who lives with her grand-daughter in apartment one.
Turns out that she's surprisingly a Democrat and is scared of the internet. She was pretty nice...I guess I was wrong...

At 3am, I'm officially happy to be in Los Angeles for reasons that are uncharacteristically sappy and I'm far to afraid to open myself up here, but just know they're good.

Hurricane Phil washed ashore tonight. More tomorrow after I sleep.
THAT'S MY GIRL Wednesday, September 15, 2004 |
Between O.C. episodes, the NBC special about Siegfried and Roy was on. And once again, Connie tosses out a mindblowing statement:
CONNIE: I mean look at him. His hair is brown and his eyebrows are black.
DAVE: Well, it's impressive that he's even recovered this much.
CONNIE: Oh, I'm not taking that away from him, but he's such a freak!

DEFEATED Monday, September 13, 2004 |
I could't think of a better title than Ford on this one, so I gave up.
Congrats to Uma and Bruen on their new baby girl (as opposed to old baby girl?) Neela!

THE WISDOM OF LIFE |
Tonight at the Ford's pad, we broke out The Game of Life.
As we all know, the game (the version we were playing was from 1982, I can't imagine it's changed much) forces you to take a spouse at one point. For the record, we all chose heterosexual partners...except Kyle, he brought the game into the 21st century.
Anyway, we were naming our spouses after actors and actresses. I chose Natalie Portman and Connie chose Christian Bale. Then Sarah had a go only to be once again overshadowed by Kyle's out-of-the-box thinking...
SARAH: Who would I be married to?
KYLE: Me.
SARAH: I'd marry you in my fantasy life?

SOFTBALL SEASON: GAME 1 AFTERMATH Wednesday, September 08, 2004 |
Connie had her first Los Angeles Adult League softball game tonight...and so did I.
The team was short on guys, so me, dressed in khaki cargo shorts, cross trainers and a Napoleon Dynamite t-shirt, was reluctantly recruited.
The top picture is my right knee. On my first hit (a boomer to left field), I took off running. Without any good traction, I face planted about ten feet down the first baseline. My palms were ripped up and as you can see, a one-inch strawberry on my leg that bled all over the inside of my shorts. That's hot.
Connie sacrificed her life and mental health to get a foul ball off the third base line. My girl bit the dust, scraped up her legs, but somewhere her father, Claude "Iron Man" Sommerville, smiled.
I can't wait to go back.
THE PRICE WE PAY Sunday, September 05, 2004 |
So we've had a nice cool summer, but it finally kicked our ass today. 97 degrees by noon and it's almost 10pm and we're stuck in the 80's.
We almost made it through.
We almost made it through.
AH, MEMORIES |
Most of you are probably thinking, "Outback? So what?"
Well Los Angeles has a thing against chain resturaunts, so some of the familiar grub we used to get back home it long forgotten. There's a Chili's in Westwood, and that's it. Tonight we decided to trek out to Torrance to get a bit of Outback. So this picture was in celebration of the fact that it's probably been over a year since we've eaten there.
