still feeling a bit low today. i guess it's just natural when you're on vacation and have a constantly present social outlet, and then you go back to the regular asocial grind. just feels a bit weird, that's all.
i played basketball today. we played several 3-on-3 games, and i forgot how tiring man defense is. we start out playing zone, and they were housing us, so we switched to man. lots of chasing around and stuff! in the end, i wimped out after a few games and decided to quit, forcing everyone else to quit as well.
anyways, world series tonight. i hope the astros win at least one game; it's so embarrassing to get swept. here's to roy oswalt pitching a good game. yeah, i know, i'm not really into baseball (unless i use it to take a nap), but it's the world series, so my interest is slightly piqued.
my mom is in bad shape. i had no idea how bad it was until my dad told me that she can only talk when she's in bed, i.e. getting up makes her exert so much energy that she can't carry a conversation. i'm really worried about it, and knowing that she's going through (and i can't help her) just makes me very sad. poor mom. :(
on a brighter note, did i tell you that i'm going to the depeche mode concert? i ordered their cd from amazon, and it arrived a few days ago. i need to start listening to it to get familiar with their new stuff, as i suspect they'll be playing a lot of songs from the new album. i hope they play a lot of their classics, though. it should be fun.
you know what i'm getting sick of? poker on television. i think the subject is burnt out and overexposed, but they keep showing it on the tv! at first, it was pretty interesting, and i thought it was cool how they made poker mainstream, but now, there's just too much of it.
has anyone seen the new _wallace and gromit_ movie? is it good? i used to be a big fan of their stuff, but i haven't gotten a chance to see the movie yet. it looks cute (esp. gromit, i love the animation of his eyebrows)! since the characters are made out of clay, i shudder to think how long it took them to make this movie. it just be a painstaking effort!
what about _domino_? i saw that it got a large number of horrible reviews, but i really like keira knightley. of course, in this movie, she is a bounty hunter, so you gotta wonder how believable that is. i was supposed to see this movie a few weeks ago with T, but he bailed on me at the last minute.
anyways, movies are good escapes. seeing how bleak my life is, it's good to escape now and then. :/
