end-of-september-ness.

orange parasol at santa anita race track's kids area.

i organized a TD outing for saturday, that turned out to be far more successful than i expected. first we grabbed lunch at din tai fung in arcadia - and we had twenty people show up! the food was great, and cheap (for such a large group) and it was a good time. it's nice to see the TDs outside of work, not talking about work. then, about half of us went to watch some horse racing over at the santa anita race track. it was a sweltering hot day, but still a lot of fun. i was able to take a lot of good pictures too!

the rest of my weekend was pretty low key consisting of watching baseball, lilo&stitch, playing around with my new holga at the santa monica pier and cooking semi-homemade meals (thanks, trader joe's!).

the phillies clinched the NLeast, and the brewers got wildcard, which means the dodgers will be facing the cubs first in the NLDS. i'm completely torn, but i've come to the conlusion that i'm okay with the cubs knocking the dodgers out this early in the post season ONLY if they end up winning the world series. otherwise, i'll be pissed. i also hope that whoever loses this series, that they don't get swept, so that i can go to two games in LA. wooooooo - october!
