Aah, the beach. I so love the beach, with its beachy smell and its beachy breezes. I'm so glad that Marti Maraschino gave me a last-minute phone call. (Seriously, people, I love the last-minute plans, because I HATE planning.) I had just pulled out all of my geocaching stuff and was getting ready to go check some out, but the beach offer was much more tempting. So I whipped out the I'm-too-big-to-wear-this-in-public-but-I-will-anyway two-piece bathing suit, got a bag of stuff together, and waited for Funk and Marti to arrive.

We headed off to Nantasket and spent probably 2.5 quality hours at the beach. There was some laying around happening, with Marti reading us ridiculous sections of her most recent fashion magazine (gah, really). There was some submerging in the frigid water where I almost lost my prescription sunglasses in the ocean (oops). And I was clever enough to bring a frisbee so Marti Maraschino and I got in the water and threw the frisbee around and gabbed while Funk napped on the rocks. And yes rocks, because the tide came in so much that there was no beach left! Ha ha, Nantasket, you are so weird.

I'd put on a ton of sunscreen before I left and I don't think I got a single smidge of color, which is sad but oh well. I got to play frisbee in waist-deep frigid ocean water, so it all evens out. Good times.

Movie Club saw The Hidden Blade which is SO not a movie I would ever have seen on my own. I mean, it was okay and it wasn't terrible, but I really was just waiting for it to end by the end of it. Parts of it were funny and there was a flying body part, but yeah... not the best $9.25 I ever spent. Afterwards we went to Cambridge Brewing Company where we had such terrible service because we were a party of seven and the gratuity was going to be included. I HATE THAT. It took us over two hours to eat, so we all had to pay for extra parking (the movie theatre validates for 4 hours). Grrrrrrr.

I got painfully little sleep last night so I'm going to call this one an early (yet still eventful) Saturday.

And I can't believe I spend so much freaking time with my coworkers. I am SO WEIRD but they are SO FUNNY.

While fun, the game last night was so, so painful. The Sox were just losing, losing, losing. They were down 7-2 in the 7th and by the time the 8th inning came around, the A's just kept scoring runs. So frustrating. When the A's had scored 6 runs in the 8th, we decided it was time to start ambling out of the park. And as we walked out, they got 2 more. *sigh*

It was kind of sad to be at the game last night. I've only ever been to two Red Sox games without my dad in my entire life - last night's and one time in 1998 with this dude from grad school. The last baseball game of any kind that I went to was when Jen and I took Dad and Grandpa for Fathers' Day in 2004 - Dad's last Fathers' Day. It felt weird to be there without him. I could just picture what he would look like there, what he would say to the players, how he would clap and when. I imagine him tossing encouragements to the godawful Sox last night, and every so often I would hear echoes of him throughout our section. "Come on, Manny, hit one for my kid," or "This is his time, he's due," or my personal favorite, the heckler of an unfortunate A's player named Perez who watched his batting average go from .098 to .095 throughout the game. "A 95 batting average? WHAAAAAA?!!?!?!" Poor Perez.

That was definitely a "for the television" game for sure, with the sticky humidity, the hot temps, the lack of breeze, and the dismal score. Not to mention the lack of Dad. But hey, it was a good time anyway. I sure can dig some baseball.

Heading off to the beach with Coworker Marti Maraschino and Coworker Funk. I think it's awesome that Marti Maraschino is all about calling people last minute to make plans. I can dig it. Also, Movie Club tonight. HIIIIIIII-YAH!
