Weekend Happy List

[jessipsaloquitur]

This weekend's Happy List:

- Baseball!!! I had great seats to both Friday and Saturday's games between the Diamondbacks and the Marlins. Good games, both, even though I didn't get to see Chris catch either game. *sadface* Misty May Treanor was at the Saturday game and got a standing ovation when she showed off her gold metal. It was pretty cool. It was also pretty cool to see Luis Gonzalez back at Chase Field. He got a huge round of applause when he came to the plate.

- Eric Brynes bobble heads!!! I am SO easily amused sometimes. *g*

- Hanging out with an old college friend at Friday's game who I hadn't seen in almost a year. It's always an outrageously good time whenever Tom is around. Plus we got a chance to have some really good conversations and really just catch up on each other's lives.

- annkiri!!! I got Becca for almost a week and it was so good to just be able to hang out, even though the reason for her extended say was quite sucktastic. She is sadly no longer with me, but will be back next weekend to pick up her car.

- Watching the adorable Matt Mitcham win the gold in 10m platform diving. I was bummed that I didn't catch his medal ceremony, but apparently NBC didn't air it, nor did they mention that he was the only openly gay male athlete at the games. FAIL. I dug around, though, until I found a video of his medal ceremony:

- Finding a delicious new place for Sunday brunch. Mmmmmm. Speaking of yummy food, I can also add a Dairy Queen Peanut Buster Parfait for lunch and homemade mac-and-cheese for dinner. So very yummy!

- Generation Kill. It's by far some of the best damn television I've seen all year. Sadly the last episode aired today, but I did order the book that it's based on and also the one written by Lt. Fick, so I'll have those to read, and I'm sure I'll be rewatching the episodes and bugging nagging encouraging others to watch them(*cough*azewewish*cough*) in the hopes that I'll get more GK fic. *g*

I swear to you, it's on my list of things to do this Labor Day weekend. I shall watch ALL of the episodes and have a marathon of military goodness.

Yaye for Eric Byrnes bobbleheads!!!! I knew you couldn't resist. ;)

Yay!!! I'll probably be watching them all again this weekend too. I've found with all the episodes that I enjoy them even more on the second viewing probably because there's so much going on, military jargon, etc., that it takes me a second watch to catch all of it. Anyway. Yay! I want to hear what you think.

My Eric Byrnes bobblehead is awesome! Also, how much do I love the Phillies right now?

I adore Matt and his constant need to touch himself before he dives, especially groping his own ass. Good times!

The touching was made of so much awesomeness!!! He was just so adorable. Man, I'm going to miss the Olympics. I think we should all make plans to be in London for 2012. *nods*

I agree!!! We have to be in London, so many men from so many countries, all in one place for easy access!!! We're gonna have to freight ship over enough condoms and lube to last us the entire trip. *g*

- Finding a delicious new place for Sunday brunch.

Ooh, where? And have you ever been to Matt's Big Breakfast in Phoenix? I went there a few weeks ago for lunch. My chili was quite tasty, and the girls' huge pancakes were awesome.

We went to Brunchies in downtown Chandler. Great Mexican breakfasts, but also a full breakfast menu. It was YUM!

I'll have to try Matt's Big Breakfast, and also Schnepp Farms as Becca tells me your breakfast there was delicious. My last brunch find was The Breakfast Club in Scottsdale -- I'll definitely go back there. :)

Brunchies rings a bell ... must have read about it before. I love huevos rancheros, so I must try that.

The place Becca and I went was Joe's Farm Grill. It was quite tasty, although I prefer T.C. Eggington's and Cracker's.

I'll keep The Breakfast Club in mind. Thanks. :)

I almost finished "One Bullet Away" on the plane home today. I could not put it down. AMAZING. I heard it's helpful to read before Wright's book. That's up next for me. :-)
