bad case of the sundays

i really do not want to be at work today. not only is it beautiful outside, but i also would have preferred to recover from this weekend (my weekend being friday and saturday). overall, i had a great weekend. it was productive, social, fun. i tried new places to eat, hung out with old friends, met new friends and even squeezed in time for exercise.

the highlight of the weekend was definitely playing basketball. i'm not the greatest player (actually not even close to great, here are my stats from the last time i played dream league), but i just love the feeling of running up and down the court, setting picks, playing d, and grabbing boards. anyways, mike invited me to play with some of his friends, at a gym they rent every friday night in chelsea. i was definitely rusty, but it felt good to be back on the court.

later that night, after i had showered and gotten into bed, monica convinced me to roll out of bed, change and go out. i, of course, then called mike and convinced him to go out so i wouldn't be the only tired one. we were expecting a quiet laid-back night at the bowling alley, but we ended up at coffeeshop for drinks and then dancing at solas afterwards. i was so tired that everytime i heard the word "home" i stopped what i was doing (mid-dance/mid-sentence) and would ask, "oh, are we going home now?"

saturday was at least more relaxing. i spent the morning watching full metal alchemist (which i have gottten really into, but i'm sad that there are only about 10 episodes left), before heading over to gerald's cousin jeff's apartment for lunch. gerald, jeff, susana and francis had just finished attack of the clones in the middle of their star wars marathon (one day, all six movies!).
i stayed for episode iii, and fell asleep in the most uncomfortable position during episode iv (the actual star wars/a new hope). when i woke up the the middle of empire strikes back, i knew it was time to go home.

after attempting to nap, i met with charles and mike for some pre-party drinks, and headed out to earth for andy's birthday where i had a great time and once again was shocked at how many berkeley people are out here.

finally this morning finds me here at work. luckily i didn't have too much of a hangover - just the slight headache that comes from drinking enough that i mis-set my alarm, but not too much to sleep in past when i normally wake up anyways.
