The Weekend

I had a nice, relaxing weekend. Friday night I played a video game that David and Crystal loaned me - Eternal Darkness. I especially like that characters can not only lose health and magic, but they can also lose their sanity. When they lose their sanity, weird things in the game begin to happen. Quite fun.

I also watched Hoop Dreams Friday night. It was the same director as Stevie, which I watched a few weeks ago...one week ago?...who can keep up. Hoop Dreams was LONG - almost three hours, but it made sense because you followed two boys throughout high school. It made me think a lot about when I was playing basketball in junior high. While it was a lot of fun, I remember being under an amazing amount of stress. In fact, I remember more stress than I do having fun. It was so competitive and I was so afraid of messing up. I'm glad I'm not 14 years old anymore and that with age came confidence. Hoop Dreams was so good that I almost watched the entire movie a second time with commentary turned on. Though I fell sleep before I got to the end of the commentary - it was 4:45am at that point anyhow.

Saturday morning I cleaned house and got ready to have people over. The weather here was gorgeous so I had all the windows and doors open. It must have been high 70's. Spring is coming! Saturday night I had a handful of people over to play poker. Ben won again. He may not be invited next time...just kidding. I got knocked out early but Ian loaned me a few chips and I made a comeback. I ended up getting second...though second doesn't really count when I already lost everything. Anyhow, we managed to polish off six bottles of wine and eat a lot of guacamole. Josh and Jill brought homemade guac, which rocked! After poker we played Ben's Wii. The Mario game is a great multi-player/party game.

Sunday I spent most of the day hungover from too much wine. I spent most of the day playing video games. It was exactly how a lazy Sunday should be.
