another sunday, another intense game of kickball. i've come to the conclusion that bitching, beer drinking and shit-talk is as much a part of the game as the actual runs scored and dazzling catches made in the outfield. today's game was only the second time that i've been on a losing team, this season. i did end up making some good defensive plays, redeeming myself for a dropped catch by turning it into a double play at second. i was pretty stoked, to say the least. i got on base a couple of times, but never crossed home plate. you win some, you lose some.

we didn't cook out today. i don't really know what the particular reason was, but i think it involved the fact that rob's car wasn't working and jeremy (his roommate) was in the studio, recording his parts for the upcoming second story man record. this left rob with the dilemma of taking only what he could carry on his bike to the park (roughly pronounced "the kickball"). we made due. we hit the field and played until the sun was a distant memory. if we could ever get the damn parks department to turn the lights on after dark at the softball field, we'd be able to keep the season going well into the fall. once again…win some, lose some.

after the game i skipped the usual trek to the dark star (a local bar that caters heavily to the hippie crowd) for the usal $4 pitcher boozefest, and opted to hang out and home and take it easy. scott had pretty much the same idea, passing out on the couch right around midnight.

i forgot to mention that scott's band (telavet) played their last show friday night. it was a damn good show, surrounded by friend of the band and art. it kinda seemed like they ran out of steam towards the last half of the set, cramming in some not-so-frequently-played numbers, but that's definitely forgivable. you should head over to the telavet site and download some of the demos and such. they were damn good, even for one of those dastardly instrumental bands.

two posts in two days…let's see if i can get back on a normal schedule…
