As my mom has probably noticed (and Kent too, who I haven't heard from in YEARS), I haven't blogged in a while. So, like cheesy 80's movies - such as Rocky - I am going to do a montage to catch us all up.
Okay, got home. Check.
Interlude - the loudest cricket EVER is doing his thing right now. Seriously, it's deafening. Sorry, you're probably not interested.
Right, so got home. Nothing happened. I found myself surfing, reading the Bible, and watching US Open tennis. I'm living with a guy who seems to always be watching tennis. And so when I am not surfing or reading, I find myself watching tennis. And I get into it sometimes. There's a really cute girl who's name starts with W that is doing well. That's my US Open tennis update.
Okay, the Full Moon Party happened. My friend, Lee, who watches tennis, DJ'd the party, and was absolutely awesome. Had oldschool turntables, played a very eclectic mix ranging from funk to, well, something a long way away from funk. It was super fun. And I don't want to tell on the town or anything, but someone showed up with a bunch of mushroom tea, and a good portion of the town had a least a few gulps. Of course, I didn't. But, I did end up in a pink wig, wearing a dress, going commando, while dancing behind (and on - yeah) the bar. But I repeat, I did not have any mushroom tea. Here's a pic of Jenny spinning some fire, one of three roommates at the turntables, and a picture for your enjoyment and future blackmail or extortion if I decide to run for office.
Okay, other things: Scott, Randall, Sean, Shilka, and I watched Costa Rica lose to freaking some team in blue the other day in the World Cup qualifiers. While the game doesn't mean a whole lot to me personally, and I generally don't like watching a lot of soccer, we had an absolute blast (at least until the freaking blue team scored in the 90th minute). It's fun when you decide to just go all out in cheering. Here's a pic of us having fun.
Jeni's gone again. That's sad for me, but she'll be back in a few months. It's kinda strange just not having her around, as she was kinda my go to friend to do pretty much anything. I'm very much getting used to people coming and going. There are actually very few people in town these days.
I bought a new board! Down to a 6'4"! Which is strange, because I am actually considering going back to Oklahoma for an extended period to regroup. We'll see.
There's a great surf tournament going on in Oeste this weekend! Gilbert Brown, Jason Torres, and our hometown hero Cali are all competing, as are some good amateur friends that are just enjoying the waves and surfing with these guys that you have probably never heard of. Today was absolutely beautiful. Jake and I spent most of the day watching the competition, hoping to catch some waves late, but never got around to it.
Oh, yesterday though, Jake beat the break and swam around our boards for an hour as Pat, Brett, and I surfed some nice waves out front. Every 20 minutes or so I invited Jake to take a break and climb on my board with me (I borrowed a longboard). I'll need a special board, but Jake will surf within the next two weeks. Mark my words. Here's a picture of Jake at the tournament today, so you all know he's still alive.
I'm ridiculously tan. Nobody has ever been tanner than me. All of the ticos look yellow next to me. Two months of vacation in Costa Rica does this to people. Oh, and I don't think I have swine flu. It seems it's just a coincidence. Or is it?
Okay, that's all I got now. There's some US Open tennis on that requires my attention. Has anyone seen my razor?
