I love 3-day weekends, and this one was no exception. It's all a blur now, but I remember lots of baseball, beer and sun, which is exactly what the 4th of July should be.

On Saturday and Sunday, I watched the Sox game on my computer thanks to Maureen's MLB.com TV account. I'm thinking next year I may have to split this with her..it's the coolest thing ever. You just log in and you can watch any game full-screen on your computer. It's not as good as getting NESN on your TV, but it's close. Saturday was spent swimming, followed by throwing back a few Dead Guy Ales while watching the Sox game, followed by amazing sushi at Piranha....very nearly the perfect day. On Sunday, I watched the first few innings of the Sox game and, with them up 4-1, chris and I decided to go on a grueling 10 mile bike ride in the hot Texas sun. An hour or so later, I came home to the Sox trailing 10-1. Argh. I think that pretty much exemplifies the sox season thus far.

Chris and I spent a total of 4 hours in Half Price Books this weekend. on weekend nights, nonetheless. such nerds.

Yesterday I spent the day at the Ticket bbq. i played more water volleyball than I have probably ever played in my life. my right arm is wicked sore and i can't turn my neck to the right, but it was most definitely worth it. good times.

other random stuff...

Excite.com deemed this one of the 12 most important news stories of the day yesterday.


...and this:

"Have you gone out and bought Clinton's new book, 'Mein Kampf'? ... the English translation is 'My Life', but I suppose in German it's gonna be translated into Mein Kampf. It should be a big seller over there ...

"So there it is -- you wanna read 'Mein Kampf', go read it -- I mean 'My Life', excuse me, I keep mixing up the two titles -- of Bill Clinton's and the other fella who ran Germany for awhile."

That little piece of brilliance is compliments of Michael Savage, who compares Bill Clinton to Adolf Hitler. Seriously. Getting a blowjob is comparable to exterminating 6 million jews. I know how the radio business works; he's just trying to create controversy to attract more listeners. but seriously...Hitler?!?
