Hope everyone had a good Halloween!

Matt and I had a pretty fun time. Beverly had a party at her place and so it was a good excuse to get all dolled up and catch up with friends I hadn't seen in a while. Matt went as Bling-bling Jesus, complete with $$$ and 'GANGSTA' faux-diamond rings and a big gold cross hung with gold chains around his neck. I dressed up as an angel and finally got an excuse to wear my silver dress for the first time (I've had this dress since high school!). Merima came as a flapper with her boyfriend, John, who was a belly dancer, complete with bra and coins on his groin. Being a bit intoxicated, I thought making up 'coins on his groin' was the funniest thing ever. :)

The rest of the weekend was pretty quiet. We went to the driving range for the first time in months. My arm's sore, but I think my drives were pretty good, considering. Matt hadn't really hit in 10 years and he was able to blast the ball off to infinity and beyond. That got me hot..

Sunday we used the free tickets to Marineworld that we got at Merima's company function a few months ago. We didn't go on any rides, but mainly spent our time in the animal portion of the park. The highlights were the tiger show (they'd throw meat into the pool and the tigers would dive down for them, so cool), and the Butterfly Experience. Matt had a little winged passenger on him who made himself comfy for a while until we left the greenhouse. There was also a pond inside and a huge gold koi fish kept swimming towards us. Cute fishy!

Later towards the evening we went to the Berkeley Marina to let China run around. In the off-leash area, we ran into a guy on his bike and his dog, Gus. China was in rare form, running around like mad, and got the other dog to start a game of chase. At one point, China ran after Gus and poor Gus got caught in the spokes of the guy's bike. :( The guy flipped over his bike right in front of us, doing a big somersault into the air! Gus ran off limping. Fortunately no one was seriously injured.. Gus had a few superficial scrapes and the guy was shaken, but was incredibly nice as we apologized profusely for what happened. It was pretty crazy that it happened in front of us..

We topped off the weekend with 4 straight hours of Xmen: Legends, and lots of Halloween chocolate. Mmm.
