To catch everyone up...

So the BBQ was an amazing success!! Arianne was able to stop by so that was great. Hadn't seen her in ages! Got to see a lot of other people I hadn't seen in quite a long time as well which is always great. I've been so ridiculously busy with school these days that I seem to forgot exactly how neglecting I can be with friends so for that I'd like to issue a sincere apology. I hope in the next month or so before fall quarter or so we can all, on way or the other, get in touch and catch up!!!

Stacie, Fawn, and I went and saw Talladega Nights last night--crazy funny. I am not a fan in the least of NASCAR and this pokes fun at all the trashiness of it which makes my day, but it is also just plain out funny in the normal Will Ferrell fashion. He holds back against pretty much no one--Tom Cruise, Oprah, and the Lord baby Jesus. Ah, good times!!

My little sister Fawn moved in with me last week and will be starting Cuesta next week. She just graduated high school this year and pretty much epitomizes naive. I'm fairly nervous for her and have entered into hyper protective mode and am trying desperately to draw the line between older sister who doesn't want her to screw up her life and apathetic roommate. It's a terribly fine line to walk and I don't think I've found that balance quite yet!! Working on it though.

My boss gave me tickets to the corporate box at the Angels stadium a few weeks ago for the game against the A's. It was literally one of those experiences for a baseball fan I can't really articulate well. I have seen a dozen or so baseball games recently and NOTHING compares to this. It was catered for us--free food, liquor and a waiter who was at our whim. I had 10 tickets and with those tickets we essentially had free rein of the whole stadium. We could get into any section of the park we wanted--we were VIP. Seeing games any other way now is going to be awfully hard!!! I even got to meet Huston Street, one of the relievers for the A's. Awesome.
