brief update

i've been busy. I did some cultural anthropology over at Starz (friend's bachelor party), volunteered at the local animal shelter, and watched the MLS all-star game / Beckham promotional extravaganza. Here's what I learned:

• new language. My favorite phrase from my night out w/ the guys was "he was hard on 'em". the phrase refers to a guy being good with the girls, without remorse. As an example, my friend told the following story (roughly verbatim): That Sean, he was hard on 'em. One time, we were living together, and I was trying to get with this girl, taking her out, you know? But behind my back, Sean was hitting it. When I talked to him about it he said, "hey, when your game is tight, it's tight." Hard on 'em.
  
• animal shelter training is fun. (really)
  
• The MLS all-star game was a long promotional tool for David Beckham. A first-tier star in a third-tier league, the nauseating announcers could not stop talking about him. remember, he's on the sidelines in a suit, but the following exchanges were common:
  [during a free kick] "This is the kind of situation that David Beckham loves." [shot of him in the stands, looking bored]
  [after a cross into box] "That's the kind of thing we can expect to see from Beckham when he makes his GALAXY DEBUT" -their emphasis, not mine [shot of Beckham in stands, staring at nothing]
  There's 22 guys working on the field, and announcers are fellating a player in the stands. thanks, guys. great work.
