No score and seven days?

Its been an interesting week for this here body. Last weekend we went through to Cambridge after meeting some souf efficans online at amaboston.com. A delayed view of the Tri Nations final ensued, followed by many beers and a braai of great beef indulgence. (and some fish)

Sunday was spent having a wicked breakfast, playing Warcraft 3 on US East (doing OK atm), arbing around and just generally watching time pass with ease.

Last friday, I was bitching about the social templates, and like a true sheep I followed my shepherd to 3 functions in one week...

On tuesday, we cracked an invite from some of the edocs goons to go on a booze cruise around Boston harbour, sponsored by BIMA and Google. 200 people on one huge yacht, free booze, excellent company and some crap music. We popped thru to an underground pub / cigar lounge thing afterwards, I obviously wasn't drunk enough. Then followed by some Chinese food, now normally I'm quite hesitant to try anything oriental, but these dishes were superb. A great way to end a kewl evening. Got back to the hotel at 2AM. *heh*

Today, at 5PM or so, we're heading thru to my first baseball experinece. The Sox are playing Detroit at Fenway Park, the mecca of all baseball fans. Should be a thrashing. Lets hope the baseball isn't as boring as it is on TV :D

Then on Saturday, we've got two colleagues from SA joining us for some work over here.

Gym is really helping at the moment. 'Been going 3 times a week (minimum). Feeling more confident, energetic (when I don't go to sleep at 2AM :P) and just healthier.

Stop press. Went to my first baseball game with some colleagues from the office. The Sox were playing Detroit, so we scalped some tickets after a few beers at a pub just down the road from Fenway Park and tried to watch the game.

The baseball itself was really boring, but the atmosphere was amazing. The hot dogs were greasy, but just what the doctor ordered after a few pints and double shot of tequila. :P After the game (a convincing win apparently) we took the 'T' into Boston's market area to check out the nightlife. We ended up in a great irish pub called the Black Rose and listened to an Irish Folk band play some great music (maybe I was pissed?). At 12:10 we had to high-tail it back to the train station to catch the last train home. Got back "home" at 2AM.

Mandy and Simon, another two colleagues from SA joined us today. Go team!
