Musings of a Crackpot

I think that i’m missing a gene…the social scene/party gene. I just got back from Aaron’s house and the halloween party that his sister was throwing. Everyone seemed really cool, but i just feel sooo ackward and at an unease at these things. I just don’t understand how people do it, the mingling and the small talk and the witty banter. I can’t ever seem to do it well..i just feel really out of place…i always have and i hate feeling that way. Overall i guess it was a good time…i just wish that i could really enjoy scenes like that more often…i think that i’m damaged goods in that respect.

my headache won’t go away…

Man, what a busy enjoyable weekend. Friday I got together with Aaron, and played some tennis (I lost yet again, i’ve got to reduce my unforced errors). After playing tennis, we were grabbing some food downtown and looked in the metro and saw that a surfing movie was playing. Down the Line was an awesome movie. The combination of the shots, and the commentary from the surfers in the film was really cool. I had already wanted to learn to surf and this just added to that urge. Some of the waves that they showed in Hawaii were just beautiful and insane. The wipeouts were brutal but sorta comical since no one died.

Saturday was a laid back, get some laundry done kind of day. I picked up some food from Charlie Hong Kong’s, the portions there are huge! I watched some football and then vegged out and played some FFXI for a bit.

Today was pretty cool, I got up pretty early for me and went down to the beach to watch the O’Neill Coldwater Classic. It was my first time watching a surfing competition in person. It was pretty interesting, but i wish that it hadn’t been so foggy. I saw a dude ride a barrel and i saw quite a few people get wiped out…awesome stuff all the way around.

After watching the surfers, I went back to the house after stopping to pick up another ddr pad and Aaron and i played against each other in a DDR showdown for the ages. Actually i crushed him for most of the times but he did beat me twice in a row, we also tried the double mode and had a good time with that. Overall it’s been a good weekend and i’m drained…now off to the shower and then charlie hong kong leftovers for me:-)

Flock is a new browser i’m trying out. It’s like firefox on steroids. It has a built in flickr extension and the ability to update your blog from the browser for starter. It’s in like pre-beta, but maybe people will give it a shot.

I just saw this awesome new adidias basketball commerical with Tracy McGrady in it. By the end of the commerical I have this big grin on my face. It was just a happy commerical. I’m going to go and watch it again..

Yesterday i went out adventuring and bougth games, found a new sushi place, and bought some new glasses and ordered contacts. Buying the new glasses was a mini adventure. The staff was really friendly and used me as their eyeglass guinea pig but i didn’t mind it was a fun time, at least pretty fun for glasses shopping.

It’s yet another beautiful day today, but it’s supposed to rain tomorrow, i’m sure if i believe the weather forecast thou. It hasn’t rained since i moved here, but i hear that in in winter that’s all it does. rain, rain and more rain..but at least it’s not snow:-)
