Down to Downey
I'm calling it an early day and heading to Downey in an hour with my brother. The trip is long overdue, because a) it's simply been a while since my last trip, b) I haven't seen my cousins yet, who are staying there for a few months, and c) it was my mom's birthday/Mother's Day last week. Lots of family stuff to which to attend. Hopefully I'll get a chance to hang out with friends, too, but it's a short trip.
Ultimately, this was the best weekend for me to head down, but there's a fair amount I'll be missing out on up here (damn, three prepositions in a row...that's gotta be a record!):
Lisa's Graduation - The JD is finally done, and Lisa gets to lead the class procession for being a badass. How cool is that! Congrats, Lis! Wish I could be there.
Drew's Visit - Drew was planning to come up for the weekend, but I think I partially ruined his plans. I guess we'll just have to hang out down there instead. How about coming up for the long weekend? We'll barbeque, watch some hockey, and catch X3. I'm sure it won't disappoint like...
Da Vinci Code - The company is paying for 20(!) showings, and based on the reviews, free might be the only way I choose to see it. I thought this movie was a sure thing, but now I may choose to just stay away.
Potential Softball Win - This may not sound like a big deal, but trust me, it is. Our team royally stinks. I mean, I'm not sure I've ever been on a team this bad in any sport, and I've played on a lot of teams. But this weekend we're playing the other crappy team in the league, perhaps our one chance to win all season, and I'm out of town! Sigh...I sure do miss winning.
A's Game - Hubert got tickets to tonight's A's/Giants game, and hopefully he gets to witness Barry hit 714 (and 715), but that will just make me bitter for having missed out on the history. I hope it happens anyway, but I'll never hear the end of it.
The Rain - What a wacky weather year. Looks like Storm Watch 2006 is back on, with rain in the forecast for the next four days. Craziness! This is one I don't mind missing, and it might negate the previous two as well. So long as it doesn't slow down stadium construction. Speaking of which, the stadium webcams have been down today, and I'm starting to get the shakes. I need my fix!
Enjoy the weekend!

Have fun! Tell your family and friends in LA I said "hi"! And an early congratulations to Lisa!
I was thinking that I could only see one movie before my test, and I thought it would be Da Vinci Code... maybe it'll be Over the Hedge now :)
congrats lisa! g/l on the bar.
M:I 3 was pretty cool
dude your softball team sucks...maybe you need a new pitcher
that's it jer, i'm taking you one on one.
barry blew last night :(
Actually, not to make Hubert's head swell, but our (his) pitching is the strong point of the team. It's everything else that's a mess.
Speaking of softball, enough with the suspense. Did we win???
we won a game!!! we should've won both, but i guess ayeh was right. we were only destined to go 1-5.
hehe, you would kill me. i'm terrible at soft/baseball...can't hit, can't throw. that doesn't really leave much
