Weekend of soccer, chicken coops and music. I think it was a productive one, yeah? We saw the Earthquakes play a friendly against Tottenham on Saturday afternoon. We actually played pretty well, a lot better than I expected. Granted, playing well is relative after a summer of the World Cup, but they definitely played a good game. Was a little frustrating. They had plenty of good opportunities to get the ball in and missed them. Tie game in the end, but still fun to watch. We're contemplating getting season tickets next year.

Came home and helped Oppa and James build a chicken coop. Yeah, James's wish to raise chickens might actually come true. With the raccoons in the area, though, I'm not sure if it's going to end well. Kind of nervous to find out.

Went to Oakland last night and met up with Dinah to see the New Pornos and The Dodos. It was a fun show. They're kind of fantastic live and I really need to see Neko Case once. She was so amazing. Was trying to write something up for the other blog. Not much is coming, so I might just crank something out at some point and post pictures.

Now I'm tired. I've discovered that I actually did finish grading all the Writing Competition entries. I didn't really get much of anything else done. Really need to start cracking with journal. Gah. So tired though. I'll save that stuff for tomorrow.

Also I got my Treasure Island ticket for the Sunday show. So expensive.
