My weekend, in pictures

FOOTBALL! Yes, we lost. Horribly. But we played USC. So whatever. I'm just so glad football's back.

BEER! I drank quite a bit of it.

DANCING AND SILLY SUNGLASSES! I don't know what to add to that.

COOKING! With habaneros that I grew. As it turns out, the sweetness of corn — whether in kernel or bread form — is not enough to mute the incredible hotness of these peppers. Even when seeded. Also, my friends throw good bbq's. That was this weekend's overarching theme.

THESE GUYS! I just wanted to include this picture because I love it. Also I hung out with them a lot this weekend.

Also: TV IS BACK! One Tree Hill watchers: if you saw it, let's discuss. I won't say anything here so as not to spoil. Gossip Girl was pretty meh. I have high hopes that the snappy dialogue and over-the-top salaciousness will be back very soon. Season premiers almost always disappoint. Unless you're One Tree Hill.
