My parents had Wayne and Pam over last night and cooked some delicious food that I was able to eat after I got off work.
First off let me tell you that I laughed a little bit when I typed that title. So, I started playing GTA San Andreas the other day and I realized that I liked this title the best out all the ones available. I just liked the idea that you were a gangsta rather than a gangster I supposed. Anyway, that was just my little blurb about that...
I, ROBOT Erin and Sammy came over to hang out with Matthew and I last night. We decided that a film would be the logically thing to watch on the television screen.
On Sunday I worked all day and began to think of weird things that I could do. The one I came up with was to create an alternative universe in which NBA teams knew the amount of potential each player had before drafting them. An example of this is during the 2000 draft, Michael Redd was drafted 43rd overall. In retrospect he should have been a top five pick. I decided I would create an alternative universe where I called the shots on who teams drafted and traded since the 1999-2000 season. I will also weigh how each team looks on paper and use that as a basis for their record. I will also factor in injuries and such that can occur. But this being an alternative universe the injuries that may have occurred in real life may not happen in this one. I will use a random number generator and other such devices to create alternatives injuries and statistics to a certain degree. A lot of this will also be my opinion on how I think players would perform amongst other players.
Yesterday, I worked all day. After work I decided that I was too tired to do anything other than sit on the couch. So, I asked my father if he wanted to watch the Hangover with me. He said he had heard that it was very funny and thought that he ought to see it. He loved the character Alan potrayed by Zach Galifianakis. I think Alan is what makes that movie hilarious. I mean, all the other actors are great but Alan puts this movie over the top.
Today I woke up at 8:00 am so that I could get to QFC by 9 am to do some more training. Turns out I could not do it because I worked a full 8-hour shift later that day, so I had to go home... Darn. But I started work at 11:30 am.... It went very well, I believe, it will just take some getting used to that is all...
This weekend was really spectacular, especially Saturday. Saturday morning started out like every single other, with the opening of my shut eyes. Kelsey and I decided that we wanted to hang out with Tommy and Savannah, so we met up with them for lunch. Savannah and Tommy invited us to go along with them to Yakima for Savannah's brother's soccer tournament. We accepted the invitation and were on our way to the said location. We ran into Tony the Tiger at the event as well as watched Savannah's little brothers run around and be rambunctious. We decided that when we got back to CWU that we were going to have a movie marathon or something similar to that. We watched Madagascar 2 and Anchorman. Some closing thoughts that were somewhat interesting to me on this day were the importance of film in our culture. Movies have an interesting way of connecting with an audience for two hours and then abandoning them. I wonder if watching movies has an any correlation with abandonment of friends or family. We are so used to the constant flow of entertainment it almost seems like when that doesn't translate with friends and family we are more often than not going to spend less time with that person. Why do we love or lust for entertainment? 
Well, yesterday was a real blast. It was mother's day, hints the title, so my sisters and my father made breakfast for my mother...they let me sleep...which I did not complain about. Then we went to church which was another fabulous Sermon from our interim pastor. For her day, my mother wanted us to work in the yard, so we did just that. I cut down too many blackberry bushes, while the sisters did some weeding. Sapi began to limp on her paw yesterday. The poor girl was not herself at all yesterday...She moped around, and eventually quit walking on the paw all together...
Anyway, Sapi slept on the lawn while we worked in the yard. Then the whole family began playing tether-ball together. It was a lot of fun though some cheat...maybe I am just a sore loser. Watching mom and dad play was pretty fun too. We went to Five Guys for burgers and fries in Marysville on our way up to Bellingham. Overall, I really enjoyed my Mother's Day with the family.
The goats would get the grass right out of your hands. That was pretty neat.
