sorry for the lack of postings these days... i've been really trying to catch up on my contracting at work in between training the new staff and stuff, so not much time to play online.

however, one excellent thing has happened-- my earthquakes have gotten themselves another trip to the mls cup! they had another come-from-behind win (this one much more stressful than the last, because they weren't playing with nearly the fire they had last week) to beat kansas city in the 27th minute of overtime. landon donovan, who didn't do much all game, had the game-winner. liz from work, jessica from my soccer team, and jessica's friend imelda came to the game with me. jessica and imelda are probably going to make the trip down to LA this weekend with me to see the quakes beat the fire in the cup. yay! i also talked to my cousin steve, and i'll likely crash at his pad in LBC.

bad stuff: leaky ceiling in my apartment from my landlady's bathroom sink... which means i currently have a hole in my ceiling as the guy is in the process of repairing it. also, i got a california rolling stop traffic ticket on friday night! argh! evidently i rolled through the stop sign two blocks from my house. i'm going to try to fight it, because it's a stop sign i know (and adhere to) well... plus i don't want to pay for a stupid cop who has nothing better to do on a friday night in a busy city than pull me over for a rolling stop in an empty intersection! love seeing my tax dollars at work. ugh. and people wonder why cops have a bad rep. sheesh.
