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.

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...
