jianantonicMontana was great! The bridge tournament was fun, if not highly successful. Harvey and I made the overalls each session, but never very highly. And we got curbstomped in our KO match, which really shouldn't have happened. It was a little frustrating because I felt like I was playing really excellent bridge, and my partner was kind of phoning it in. I like Harvey a lot, but he's used to playing against very low-level players, and his bridge game is full of habits that are advantages against weak players, but really detrimental in tournament play. So it wasn't the most fun for me. Not that I didn't make my own mistakes. Anyway.
I managed to work out every day that I was there. The first run I did was a rude awakening -- I'd forgotten that Whitefish is at about 3,200', and I felt like SHIT during that run. It's really discouraging to go for what you expect will be an easy workout and then just drag ass the whole time. But then I remembered the elevation and I felt less awful about how awful I felt. We'll see how I feel when I work out here at sea level later. I'm going back to BodyPump tonight, and will run tomorrow, I think. I haven't tried on the bridesmaid dress again since the last time (when it was too tight), but I'm pretty sure it's fine now. I ate a lot of homemade cookies a the tournament, but I've been pretty disciplined and I'm pretty sure I dropped a few pounds.
I watched the first two episodes of the new Arrested Development season. I've been looking forward to this for YEARS. My initial reaction is that it's disappointing. It is funny, but it's not the same. Obviously I didn't expect it to be the same, and I can't really explain what I don't like about it, but I'm going to hang in there and see where it goes. The show has to do a lot of catching up with seven years gone by, so maybe these first two episodes were just too burdened with bringing the story up to date, and it'll start to flow better when I get a few more episodes into it. It's a shame we'll never really know what could have been if it was never canceled, though. I maintain that this show is the best thing ever put on television, including the 2008 election returns. It's just so fucking brilliant. So the bar for season 4 might be impossibly high. But I'm glad there is a season 4. Even if I decide it totally sucks, I won't let that ruin the first three seasons for me. Like season 9 of Scrubs.
I work today and tomorrow, and then tomorrow night I have a red-eye flight to Virginia for Emily's wedding weekend. I am so unbelievably excited for this! As far as I know, it's the only wedding I'm going to this year, and it's going to be a fantastic reunion of friends and family. I'm also really excited about having my hair done all pretty and taking lots of professional photos with my little sister and me looking all fantastic.
