sleep?... I forgot... so let's catch up
so i catch up a bit, but before i do, here's a moment of naked (what is a moment of naked you might ask, well, a moment of naked {is it time to copyright or trademark that or something?} is a sort of confession kinda thing where i open myself up and share something that might be considered rather intimate, at least by human standards, and it might even be rather suddenly because it just pops up in my mind or experience while i may be doing something else, ok?)...
i spontaneously cry, kind of like a narcoleptic might fall asleep suddenly, at random times during the day or night while in the middle of doing something else because i think about something and it brings on enough emotion to bring on tears... sometimes it is a happy emotion, sometimes a sad emotion... tears are not always sad, tears are, for me at least, a release of emotion... when any emotion grows to a certain level of intensity, tears flow...
and now back to the entry already in progress...
catching up on the weekend (or week?)... well, the schedule is right there on the side of this page, so you could already know what i've been doing... fun...
monday we went to see Leatherheads and enjoyed it, though it was a typical sports movie romantic comedy... a calzone before and fried wontons (stuffed with cream cheese and crab, so they were actually crab rangoon, but not called that because we were in The Cheesecake Factory... and then a chocolate mousse cheescake...
tuesday we went to Bergamo's, an upscale italian restaurant with a circular stage in the center that has a grand piano... waiters take turns singing italian opera and american show music... overpriced, mediocre service, excellent food, small portions, music too loud, so that'a one star from me, though it's probably higher rated by the pros...
Wednesday night we went to Mykonos for greek food... good food, excellent service, large portions, reasonably priced, storefront atmosphere, so three and a half out of of five stars from me...
thursday night we played softball and it was the worst pitching i've done in weeks so i walked about four or five and hitters were hitting and out hitters were not hitting so we could not overcome the errors people made, though i tied the game up 12-12 in the sixth inning with a two run double (so i am 5 for 6 and 2 walks and a sacrifice fly in the last two games in that league), but an error in the next inning gave them several more runs and we lost 16-13... it was the most runs we gave up, mostly because i was not making their hitters hit poorly by pitching well... bummer, so we now ar 2-2 and in third place out of six teams... if we won we'd have been tied for second... i think it's a 12 game season, so we've just gotta play better...
friday we did an all night walk-a-thon for the american cancer society and thankfully one of the people i enjoy talking to showed up and we decided to be walking partners and i think i mentioned this in a previous post... it went from 5pm to 8am...
saturday i napped a couple of hours and met a new group at a picnic and as it happens with new meetup groups, i knew half of the people who showed up from other meetup groups... the organizer who threw me out was there and she didn't look pleased that all the members of her group were talking and playing with me (we played sand volleball, she sat and watched while her dog sniffed in everybody's bags and begged for everybody's food)... as usual, people asked why i am not in the group anymore and i explained, which couldn't have been very comfortable for her even as she feigned ignoring...
after the picnic was a game night with another group (and my walk-a-thon partner showed up along with a lot of other game-friends) and we had fun until the place closed (we were trying a public place that has space for game players and they sell games and cards and stuff, instead of someone's house)and afterward we went to the Ale House for dinner cuz we didn't eat before (cuz at least two of us napped, but i'm not sure about the others reasons)...
and sunday was another softball game, the last game of the season for the sunday league... this is the team of players who may never have played before and have no fundamental ball skills at all and we lost our first seven or eight games... our last game was against the team we beat and we needed to beat them today to tie them so we'd finish ahead of them technically cuz we'd have beaten them twice... the good news is i was pitching one of my best games, struck out several and walked only one... the bad news is the fielding and throwing behind me, so after i struck out the first two batters, four runs were scored on multiple errors (no hits, technically)... i really ought to keep track of the stats since i love playing with numbers...
anyway, we came back and it was tied by the fourth and we took a 6-4 lead by the fifth (as i said, i was pitching one of my best games and was able to make batters hit poorly so we were holding them)... a long fly over the outfielder's head (he was playing way too shallow and we told him, but he wouldn't take direction from me or the coach) tied the game at 6-6... we scored a run in the next inning and held them scoreless to win 7-6, so we finished the season out of the cellar in spite of our lack of fundamental softball knowledge and poor skills catching and throwing the ball... they are improving, but some are still missing fundamentals and not taking direction/instruction too well...
after the game there was a party for the league at a local club biut i stayed to watch another game in another division because the coach of that team was also our coach and they were in second place and playing the first place team and if they won it would force a playoff... they won and then won the playoff game so they won the championship of their division... the even more special thing was they were almost late (which would have been a forfeit) because earlier in the day they played in the championship game at a Disney sponsored tournament (19 teams from around the country) and won that, then drove like crazy to get to the game in our league...
i went to golden corral for food afterward because i was tired, did not want to cook, and it was sort of on the way home... and then, it's now... and now, here we are... Rasputin just went out to Steak 'n Shake and brought me home a chocolate shake with extra hot fudge... i won't imagine how much weight i gained this week, in spite of the activities...
still hoping that good healthy influence comes into my life and cares enough to want to try to change my habits cuz that would be a big help, but then, i know i can do it all by myself (don't wanna be, aye?) and i'm just being lazy and self-indulgent and want a cheerleader partner inspiration muse and oh well, i am having fun being decadent and social and this is the american way and life among the humans, so when on earth, do as the earthlings, ya know?...
and now you are caught up, at least for the past week... besides working every day, which is a whole 'nother list of activities and events, but i really ought to consider sl;eeping now, again)... thanks for being here and caring...
so what's going on in your world? :)

spontaneous combustion of narcoleptic tears down your face digging trenches of ... i lost my train of thought.
a whole lot of nothing happened in weekend sesshin over, well, the last weekend.
I cry too, a lot actually, but I guess girls can cry without anyone really giving much notice or attention cuz we are supposed to be all emo and everything.
Back from No. Cal, to So. Cal., and the whole time I was freezing cold up north only to return to the south to find it overcast, damp and cold here too. Such is the way it is. But I took a lot of pictures and got some work done and learned a lot and found myself with some more work to do at home designing logos and websites and some other stuff.
I wonder why the Golden Gate Bridge isn't golden.
I started to wonder why I was giving a run-down of my week when I suddenly remembered you asked and so I was answering, right?
Anyway, here's to hoping for another week of fun and stuff for you...and hugs all around too :)
giving run-downs of your week even when not asked (such as ric's practice) is much more advanced than sitting around pondering the meaning of IT all and which path to choose, sufi, aramaic, brahmatrancendental, cavitylunking and so it goes.
brrrrr, it is friggin cold and i know who's fault it is, my dad and his wife left 4 r0m@nia today and they were very depressed the last couple of days to the point the sky is crying with them.
forgive 'em for they know not what they do ;)
i can't believe i butchered 'whose' oh the grammar nazis will mince meat me.
eeekieeeki bangbang, that's the sound i wanted to make in closing. i watched 'whale rider' yesterday and i cried me another river. some grrls have it hard.
Do they want to move to the US?
Thanks for filling me in and keeping in touch and adding to my wonderful world (cuz life is beautiful tonight for no particular reason :)
not really, but it was 1st time for his wife and so she was sorry for leaving so soon. goes to show you the relativity of soon cross cultures, because they were here for 70 days.
maybe they want to go around the world in eighty days... i hope they are all better now :)
