Amateur golfer, party animal

Amateur golfer, party animal

Apparently I won the British Amateur golf tournament this weekend. I celebrated today by watching a movie, then by washing my car and doing some laundry.

This weekend I also worked, went to the beach and watched Lawrence of Arabia in 70mm. And that was just Saturday (in addition to winning that tournament, obviously). Sunday was my sister's birthday and a party celebrating mine and Jessie's engagement. The following are some highlights (and lowlights).

 
The happy couple.


 
Jessie facing down our superhero friend, The Irritable Jake.


 
Our gracious hosts.


 
Me mid-bite and D minus 30. The 'D', you see, stands for drunk.


 
Jessie with our friend, Julia.


 
A photo of the engagement party crew.


 
Our cake, made with much love and little skill.


 
Momma, I'm 'unna be a star!


 
Drunken Beastie Boys karaoke. The cornerstone of any fine soiree. That's our buddy, David spitting rhymes next to me.


And that was the weekend in a nutshell. Pretty busy. It's actually kind of nice just to sit around and watch a movie, wash a car, do the dishes, do the laundry, run the errands, finish my book, plan tomorrow's movie binge, have dinner with a friend...

Oh, wait.

  • "The Wire - Season One"
  • "Millennium - Season Two"

    Lawrence of Arabia cycles into the American Cinemateque theaters every six months, hoss. You want me to send you an email for the next one?

    And, yes. She IS way too hot for me.

    is there going to be an Illinois party thing for your wedding?

    I'm not sure. There'll probably be some sort of bachelor party, but we probably won't be in town for too much time before the actual wedding. "In town" in this case refers to Wisconsin, actually, because that's where the wedding will take place.

    If something DOES happen, I'll be sure to broadcast it.
