too much socializing?

[rone]

On Thursday, many talk_bizarre members converged upon haineux's house due to the visit of justjenine and torkington and their two little Torklets.  Alas, 2wanda couldn't come because she was stuck at work.

On Friday, i took my wife out on a dinner date and enjoyed entirely too much German food, washed down with a liter of beer.

On Saturday, Kimmy and i split our time between two parties: racerxmachina's birthday party, and a gathering of Centavo (my Thursday soccer team) for BBQ at Dino's place.  Both events featured somewhat athletic activities; racerxmachina had piñatas and balloon batting, whereas Dino had a bocce court (Dino mentioned that his dad laid down the oystershell bocce courts at the Campo di Bocce in Los Gatos, which i've been meaning to patronize almost since i first noticed it about a dozen years ago).

On Sunday, after community garden duty, we had lunch with sandollar17, her mom, and her Spanish friend Ana, who's been visiting for the last three weeks.  Then we took Ana shopping at the mall... the goddamn mall.  After that harrowing experience, we had to go to Rock Bottom for some beer (BJ's is too damn full of yuppies and other pretty people).

All these damn friends and relatives making demands on our time... it's ridiculous and exhausting.  Life was easier when we were hermits.

How social! Lessee... Friday night we had one of d's friends over and we all went to the fireworks. (Local party) Saturday,there was a parade in the morning with all the grandparents, and then we had a few of his friends over, I cooked, and then we went to the fireworks. Sunday, went to the local party thing with more people, and then I went out to a bar to see Pat McCurdy and i ran into Mark Lippert and a bunch of other people I haven't seen since ... two or three years ago. It was very cool, and while I can't do it every night or multiple times a week like I did when I was "young" I need to do it more often than every few years.

And this friday Everclear and Soul Asylum are coming to a neighboring county fair, so I'M THERE. HONEY, TAKE THE KID.

Semi-hermit.

I totally forgot to mention the midnight soccer game i had after leaving bc & Jen's house.

Pat McCurdy and Soul Asylum... it's 15 years ago! WHOAAAA.

Nah. 15 years ago I was single and a size 12.

Maybe if I start dancing like a spastic at all these shows like 15 years ago. That'd make up for skipping the gym for the past five years.

Just for saying that, I won't tell you the name of a really good German restaurant in the bay area, Mister Crankypants!

That bocce ball place looks fun-- and the food looks good, too!
