Sooooo Full

Actually made an interesting realization today regarding a new piece of art in my neighborhood. Once I get some pictures, I'll post them and discuss my realization. Hopefully tomorrow or Sunday.

dejesus freak and I went to dinner at a Mexican place around the corner from me that I've walked by a thousand times yet never ventured in to. While sitting at the Starbucks across the street with some Buckies*, the restaurant was given high marks as far as Mexican places go. While the chips and salsa were good, little else was truly tasty. The chili rellenos was actually chopped up peppers and meat stuffed inside some flat, fried dough. Really not appealing. Actually, while the rest of the food was decent, it wasn't anything to write home about (or on a blog really). Yet, I managed to eat a good chunk of it and was completely stuffed (mostly on chips and salsa I fear). After dinner we went to a local pub and were both barely able to drink one beer before having to call it a bloated night.

Before going home though, we took a hike around Wrigley where Sting was playing in front of a huge crowd of 40,000+. Outside the stadium and at the surrounding establishments within earshot, there were several thousand other fans hanging around. It was decent people watching, but we were both so freakin' full, we were just trying to walk off the bloated feeling in hopes of going back to the bar. No such luck.

Softball tournament on Saturday and Sunday, which means only 2 or 3 games on Saturday with Sunday's games (if any) based on how we do. Again we have an undermanned team due to conflicts and this tournament is supposed to be pretty competitive, so if we win any games at all I'll be amazed.

*Buckies are people that hang out at Starbucks while drinking their coffee and reading the paper. You have to do this almost daily to be a Bucky.
