august-ness

august is gross in dc but there are a few good things to note:

1. my birthday. i know, too easy - that's why it's #1. unfortunately, must wait until the very END of august. but being the pinay that i am, you should never be afraid to party early and often.

2. kids start going back to school - which translates to fewer family trips (aka tourists) and, while i personally have nothing against tourists in general, having tourists in the summer in dc... is as bad as it sounds.

3. pre-season football! woo-hoo! which means, just around the corner i will be able to witness yet another season of wishing my niners back to glory. but really, the toughest part of football season in dc is that my sleep schedule gets thrown out of whack because there is Monday Night Football and now, SUNDAY Night Football.

i look forward to NBC and seeing my kooky uncle John - Madden, that is. while watching the game between the raiders and eagles sunday night, they described the process of making of the busts for the hall of fame and kooky uncle john talked about how he thinks the busts "talk to each other" when there is nobody else around. no one else can get away with that kookiness...

true, most kids nowadays only know him for the video games and as a sports commentator but i am happy that he was finally inducted into the football hall of fame. although i am a niners fan, i respect his accomplishments as a coach... and he grew up in daly city, california.
