Well ... it was a fun beach filled weekend. Saturday I was at the beach in Aptos for a meeting with the new soccer team I just joined. I am extremely excited about joining the team and the next few months of practicing and playing together, and then to put the cherry on top of it all, we are going to a tournament in Italy! :) Anways ... so at the the beach we a good time romping about playing a game of about 7v7 beach soccer. Its so nice to finally play with skilled players, which are not so easy to come by here in the U.S. After messing around for a bit we had a meeting about team info and specifics and such, followed by a few rounds at the bar ;) That made for a quite relaxing evening at home.

Sunday morning I returned to the beach for a bit of surfing. Unfortunately I had a pretty piss-poor day of surfing and basically never really found my rythem, but I was happy enough with the final ride of the day and it was such a beautiful day that you certainly didn't hear me complaining. After freezing my ass off for a couple hours, man was the water cold on Sunday, we decided to stop at the good old Ideal Bar and warm up on the deck with some lunch and beer.

Now ... Sunday night I finally saw Matrix Reloaded, and to put it bluntly, I thought it failed miserably. The whole time I was waiting to be wowed by something as unique and creative as the first film, but I regret to say that moment never came. Anways, I'll gather my comments into a review very soon.

The other tragedy of the weekend was my xbox. First off, it doesn't seem to be fast enough to do the mpeg4 playback I want to do ... so that is lame. Then after that it decided to commit suicide or something and now my gentoox linux install seems to be screwed, so i'll have to start that over again :/

anyways ... good times.
