The weeks continue to improve! Last week, my friends and I went to an Oakland A's baseball game. I have very little experience with live professional baseball, but I have come to the conclusion that Diamond Seats are remarkable! A friend of mine was able to get Diamond Seats. Diamond seats are awesome, but to be front row center Diamond Seats???? Holy Cow! Yeah, that's right. We sat right behind home plate. We had a great view of everything! Including the players' butts! Not that I noticed...
We were on TV the whole time! I was glad I didn't pick my nose! However, we were all shoving food in our faces the whole time! I mean, hello???? The food was free! Every section had their own server! The menu was right there so we had to order right? It was amazing. Walking in, we saw Matsui!!!! He was right there walking past us! In butt grabbing distance! That's how close he was. I couldn't believe it! It was Matsui!!!!!!!!!!!
At any rate, we had first rate parking and even the other Diamond Seats were envious of our seats! As I was a few steps from the ladies room, a guy coming out of the men's room asked me how we were able to have those seats. It was crazy! Did I mention we saw Matsui??? The food was nothing to write home about, it's a ball game after all, but still, it was a great time! We felt like royalty! I was not rooting for the A's, but it was fun! I liked the part where the A's got stomped! I am not a fan of LA teams at all, but I am not an A's fan. Besides, Kevin Frandsen (he is not ugly) and Hideki Matsui were on the Angels, so I was okay with rooting for them!
On Friday night I went to see "Kites" with my friend Diana. It was my second time watching it and I loved it both times! It's a Bollywood crossover film. It's not the best movie you'll ever see, but watch it for the fun of it! There were some really funny parts! It's more of an action chick flick type movie. Mostly romantic, but with some car chases in the mix, and some Mafia type stuff as well. I liked it. I also liked Hrithik getting down on the dance floor. He's got mad skills! At any rate, after the movie I met up with some other ladies and we attempted to go roller skating in Milpitas. It closes at 11pm, but they stop letting you in at 930pm. We were all a bit miffed! Almost had our own skate party in the parking lot, except we would have all had to share one pair of blades between the four of us!!!
Saturday was jam packed! I had to get up early for my test in San Jose for school. I thought I was gonna get a ride from my cousin, but he never came home from the night before. So then I was gonna take a 2 hour and 50 minute bus ride to SJ for my test! I was not happy about that! Fortunately, as I cried to Carrie about it, she said she would drop me in SJ. I was so grateful! My four hour allotted time for the test only took me 59 minutes! Mattius and I were gonna drop over and play some basketball with some peeps before our bike ride at noon, but my buddy needed help moving. So, Mattius and I went and helped he and his wife move.
As soon as we were done moving things we headed over to Lake Almaden for a bike ride! Mattius and I met up with Clayton, and Susanne. It was awesome! It was a nice casual ride and good conversation. I forgot my water bottle, so I was not too thrilled about that. Fortunately, there are drinking fountains along the way! We passed by the ol' Camden building and I remembered all the many years I spent going to church there, then hit the wall at the end of the trail. With that, we turned around and headed back to the car! It was an easy ride. I think we might try starting the trail a little further out next time! Allegedly, it was 91 degrees, but we didn't feel it. There was a great breeze coming through, and the sun was at our backs! We took the southern route as well and the area is so beautiful that we just enjoyed the ride and the scenery. Enjoyed a late lunch at La Vic's and then parted ways for a bit.
Susanne and I drove up to Fremont so I could grab my clothes for my house sitting stint, then rushed back to meet up with Mattius and his girlfriend to drop in on a friend's birthday party then head over to the Poor House Bistro for a blues concert! John Garcia rocked it! Actually, all three guys rocked it! There were three acts. They all came together for the last set and it was amazing! Can't remember his name, but the guy on stage left was awesome! He was more along the style I like a lot! All of them were good, but I preferred his style. He was kind of like a slower, bluesy version of Chet Atkins, kinda. He was a country blues, but really clear and clean. Chet Atkins but different? Yeah, that.
It was a good time and the food there at PHB as always, was outstanding! Go PHB! We'll be back! The hostess said I should come back for open mic night and do stand up...not sure I will, but it was flattering.
