So I saw my AN at Target this weekend. She always pretends not to see me or notice me, I hate when people do that. Especially since I was the one that went up and talked to her during freshman year. So much for being nice. I call her my AN and even though there's a negative connotation to it, I dont hate her or anything...i hardly even know the girl. I guess it was just the circumstances back then. And the fact that she intimidates me. But like i said, i don't even know her that well. She can be a really nice person for all I know.
If you don't know what the AN stands for, ask me.

Mmm......sushi deli......

Still working on scrabble pictures...

Went to blacks beach today. Its so pretty there. We were lucky, got there right when the sun was out and left right as the sun did. Water was very warm, after i finally decided to go in. Everytime i go, i go a little deeper into the ocean. I'm making progress, yay! Anyway, it was beeeeautiful down there as it always is when the sun is out. And no sting rays or jelly fish, just this huge...root....looking thing with a long tail that son found.

So amongst all the beach day fun, I did not realize the westerfield verdict was out today until a couple hours ago. So now this guy is found guilty. I don't know about the whole thing, i just don't know. I didn't keep up with the trial enough to say he was innocent, but if he is, then...how sad.

Going back to Scrabble tomorrow, pictures hopefully coming soon!

Ok, just another thing about the scrabble championships:

Here's more proof (for you kristin!) that guys have sex on their minds ALL THE TIME.
This little boy, who looked about 8 to 10ish, played the word "sex."
A man, in his late 40's to 50's, played the word "labia." The first word of the game, and he played "labia." Call it chance, coincidence, "the only good letters he had to make a high scoring word," call it whatever you want.

I am not surprised, merely amused.

Dooooood...
Today I went to the National Scrabble Championships that is being held here in San Diego. I know what you're thinking, and yes, Scrabble IS that big. It's bigger than you can imagine! These people actually study words, dictionaries, probabilities, etc for hours and hours. It's incredible. The competition is hard, but, the winner does get $25,000, and there are a bunch of other cash prizes for different categories. I went as a production assistant helping this guy who is doing a documentary on this scrabble culture. (I was gonna say "phenomenon" but it really isn't since its been around for so long.) It was all very interesting. It's this huge room with tons of tables with scrabble boards on them. During the games it's pretty quiet except for the clattering of tiles being pulled out in a variety of bags, and the occasional "Challenge!" shouted out for words that seem dubious to the opponent. Then a proctor with a gray word list/dictionary sort of thing comes over to the table to check on the word that's being challenged. They play around 30 rounds! It's one of those things you have to see. I'm hoping to go back on Thursday (that is the award ceremony day) and take some more pictures and hopefully put them up on the site soon.
This was as cool as the oscar meyer weiner hot dog car coming to our parking lot downstairs!
