and another thing...

why isn't our volleyball team winning more games? we are a very talented team, individually, but it seems like our chemistry (as a team) does not gel. we are the second worst out of nine teams. we'll kill a team the first game and it just unravels from there...sigh. we almost feel like Charlie Brown and his football...or kite...or the little red haired girl. rats!

argh. trying to come down from the beer and wine that i had tonight. as usual (if we play early matches), we'll head on over to Hemingway's and play the last couple rounds of Trivia Face Off. and...as usual...i'll have a couple of beers.

however, on occasion, i'll hang out with our team captain at her house after the trivia. see, our captain, is also our chauffeur on these nights; we have agreed to all chip in and either buy her beers or a tank of gas since she has been so good to let us carpool and meet at her house. and as an added bonus, we can use the HOV lane and not be bothered with the typical rush hour traffic...

so, tonight, we hung out and shared a large (1.75 liter) bottle of wine that she had out. twas good...smooth. she really prefers Bella Sera wine. Sangiovese was the flavor ;) tonight. whew...good thing that i poured more than drank; she didn't have to drive home like i did.

lots of conversation...four hours passed like that (snap). we mainly talked about our families and how it is being the youngest. it's always a good time when i get to hang out and jab with Barb. too bad i have the day off tomorrow (today) and she'll inevitably have to call in sick HEEHEE!

afterwards, it was off to Taco Hell. i just missed out on getting some chili dogs at the Hamburger Stand - their drive-thru closes at 2AM on weekdays. so, my options are limited to:

coming home and making the effort to cook something (ha, right)
going to Denny's (not sure if i can stay up that long)
the 24-hour Burger King (fries and whoppers get old)
Taco Hell (still go there even though i once broke a tooth on a burrito supreme in '99...at least they paid for all the dental work)

the three tacos, spicy bean burrito, and nachos supreme eventually won out in the end. so here i am, trying to type in between shortened burps and mini farts...greaaat. what the hey though. Taco Hell is better if eaten while listening to Style Council (which is playing in my CD right now)...or any other 80's music. it would even taste good with Culture Club... btw, i scored poorly (i.e., less than 50) on the 80's music quiz that Derbs got us all to do last week. anyway, Taco Hell with Eurythmics...Bananarama...Duran Duran, is still better than a bean burrito eaten to the sounds of Metallica or Slayer. trust me, i know these things ;)
