Howdy all. Just wrapping up another weekend. On Friday I went with Corey and Carlos to eat at this new fast food Mexican place called Qdoba, kind of an odd combination of Taco Bell and Subway, but they specialize in huuuge burritos, pretty damn good too. Afterwards did a lil shoppin on Target to blow away a new paycheck....got a couple b-day gifts, and the new Korn greatest hits album for myself. All met up at Carlos's and watched the Twins lose their second game in the best of 5 series against the Yanks. On Saturday helped my dad paint his garage for a few hours as we listened to the Twins blow a 5-1 lead and lost game 5 to knock them out of the playoffs the third year in a row.
Oh yeah, I saw Smackdown, and was surprised as hell to see the new Carlito Cool guy win the US belt from John Cena in his debut match. But I guess it kinda makes sense since he's a heel. I just don't get it that Cena spends damn near 2 months in a best of 5 series with Booker T to win his title back, and when he finally wins it back he only holds it for 2 days before dropping it to Razor Ramon-lite. Maybe the thing will work, only thing that appeals to me about Carlito is his uber-awesome fro that should make Ben Wallace jealous.
After that I met up with Chris and we checked out to see if there was anything else worth buying at Best Buy.....saw Rocky Legends which was tempting, but the developers decided to take out online play at the last minute so now I have no reason to purchase it for $40. Maybe I'll wait for it to drop to $20. Afterwards dropped Chris off and picked up Jarod & Dawn and got another round of Cosmic Bowling going on. We got 4 games in but I didn't do too well with scored of 77, 85, 93, and 98. Dropped them off and headed home and tried to play as many of my new games as possible. Got about a good half hour to an hour each of the following games: NASCAR 2005, TD: Eve of Destruction, NBA 2K5, and Fable. 24/7 is starting to get addicting, and I only got past the part where your town gets burned down in Fable, but it looks like I'm gonna be in for quite an adventure. Browsed online for a while and picked up a couple of things off half.com....the Eddie Guerrero DVD set for only $15 brand new, and ....Boys and Girls...the only teeny bop movie I actually liked until the recent Mean Girls. Its bare bones lack of extras DVD release was going for $7-9 used, but the used VHS was only 75 cents so I got that instead.
Sunday was all about football......after 8 straight losses including the preseason this year, the 49ers finally win one in overtime against the Cards 31-28 in overtime. They came back from 28-12 with only about 5 mins left in the 4th quarter. Wadda comeback, Big Play Rattay threw for over 400 yards, and broke a team record with 38 complete passes, one more than the legendary Joe Montana. Eric Johnson got me a lot of fantasy points as he got 12 catches for over 120 yards and a TD. Unfortunately, Julian Peterson tore his Archilles Tendon and will be out for the rest of the season. About damn time they won! I didn't think they'd make that dramatic of a comeback, but damn what a way to win. The Vikes almost blew a big lead over the Texans, they were ahead 21-0, but the Texans came back and made made the game go into OT at 28 all, but the Vikes held on and Culpepper had one helluva game too....well their offense anyways.
After football, celebrated my father's 64th B-Day with Joe, Ann, Jane, and Shawn. Went to Wild Wings to grab some dinner, and bowled a couple games where I got scores of a weak 77 and an ok 109. Chipped in on a DVD player for my dad, and got him Leathal Weapon 4 on DVD too. That wraps it up for me this weekend, only work 2 days this week before I start a 5 day break? Why 5 days? Because I had 14 Personal Hours I had to use before the beginning of the X-Mas shopping season that starts up in beginning of November. Hopefully I'll be able to catch the T-Wolves preseason game.
