BEAT LA

I finally made it to a Giants game this season. Friday my undergrad alumni group did a get-together with decent seats. Due to brain malfunctions on our part, the wife and I forgot to bring our tickets. Fortunately, we don't live far away, called the curvy upstairs neighbor to check if they were on our dresser (they were) and made the short drive home to pick them up. Even better, our overpriced parking spot was still available when we returned so we re-parked without being extorted again! We missed the first inning but that's not bad.

The game itself was sloppy, but we won. I'm still a bit hoarse from yelling "Beat LA", "Dodgers suck", and other endearments.

The rest of the weekend...

Saturday we drove to the East Bay for sci-fi movie night at Hakeshouse. Fun chattage, good food, and people we don't hang out with all that often (mostly because they're on another side of a bridge). We started with Robot Chicken Star Wars, and then Serenity. The votes were in favor of Galaxy Quest, but Rowan vetoed that movie as she doesn't like it. We brought Free Enterprise, but since no one else had ever heard of it I think it got one vote. Home after midnight.

Sunday we got up early-ish and drove back to the same area at 10 am to help ysabella_dolfin make sausages for Investiture feast. More good chattage and food. We got a lot chopped, mixed, and stuffed. I have two long bungs of (modern) nduja to cold-smoke and hang. The lamb-jam was also fun and tasty; I steamed green beans and garnished with lamb bacon. syele took a hilarious picture of Rachael and I evilly holding up bungs, but I can't find it.

Tired and uninspired for work today, though.
