Is can be tired?
I went to a block party and I'm exhausted! There's this family that's put on a huge party and clam-bake for the past twenty or so years . . . I went and hung around with people, played basketball in the street, played the most informal game of softball ever in the park, and once again attempted to like beer. FAIL on that last point, but oh well, they also had five kinds of pop.

It wasn't a "get smashed" party anyway, there were tons of little kids running around nearly getting trampled. I talked with a guy from LA (nephew of the guy throwing the party) who worked in video games (testing) and is writing a fantasy book. Now I regret not asking for his e-mail addy because, hey, fellow would-be fantasy author, but he disappeared from sight an hour or so before I left, so finally I just shrugged, gathered up my nephew (I'd offered to drive him home since he wanted to stay longer than his mom), and headed out.

I'm exhausted, must have been all the sports. (BTW, basketball? I suck at it. So much.) Also feeling slightly buzzed, which is bizarre because I had maybe, [i]maybe[/i] an eighth of a cup of beer before concluding, yes, it's just as rancid tasting as I remembered, and "accidentally" knocking over the cup. Plus, I drank it, like, five hours, so . . . ???
