I haven't written much here lately. I guess i'm depressed or something with the job search. So maybe i should write about the good stuff. Like meeting people; Kim and i met mezdeathhead and
schwa242 over Thai food in San Francisco, together with Mez's sister
grrjessi and her boyfriend Justin. All too short a meeting, as i had to take off for soccer back in the South Bay. Some days later, after i had a job interview at UC Santa Cruz, Kim and i met
solipsistnation and
stophittinyrslf for lunch. It's a lot of fun to hang out with couples who have a good dynamic and obviously like each other (and i don't mean gooshy stuff, although i have no objection to that), and all of the above qualify.
Soccer's still good. I took a shot in the nuts the other night, and my cup wasn't able to protect me, so i spent some time on the ground groaning. I've been getting a lot of compliments on my improved play, all of which really started after i went to the park one weekend to learn some fundamentals. Funny how little things have big effects. I still can't get my teammates to reliably and quickly set up walls on free kicks, though.
Last week, Kim and i went to see allannah's daughter perform as part of a choir. Afterwards, we went out for Mexican food, and
allannah and i decided to have a premium añejo tequila flight with our meal. The first had obvious vanilla overtones and burned all the way down (now that i think on it, it was AsomBroso); the second had definite butterscotch flavor, although not quite as strong as the vanilla in #1. The third was free of any foreign flavor and was my favorite. I mentioned this to our waiter and he offered me a taste of a reposado that he recommended. It was superior by far to the añejos, both in aroma and flavor, which surprised me a bit. I'm not really a liquor drinker anymore (excepting soju, which is distilled but only comes in at 24% or so), but it was fun to give this a try. And i was glad Kim was driving, too.
