Funny article about Red Sox fans finding Anaheim standium unfriendly.
Cry me a river.
That’s what happens when you think RedSox Nation extends anywhere you’re at. Fuck those Red Sux fans. That how it should be. Now, if only the Orioles (and their fans) could do this I would be happy.
Driving home in the rain and a state trooper pulls in behind me from York to Greenspring on Timonium. I eye him wondering why he pulled in behind me. Does he think I’m speeding? Acting weird? Suspicious? Maybe he just wants to get to the on ramp to 83. That is most likely it.
We’re at the light by the Sunoco. Another car pulls in next to me on the right turn lane as the light turns green. I go. So does this car. Except he’s following me across the intersection. Dude thinks that his lane can go straight. I’m fucking surprised. The light rain doesn’t make it any better. I’m moving my car to the next lane over lucky that there is no traffic in the other lane.
The dude goes over the curb. I”m stopped honking my horn. I’m waiting for the flashing lights.
Fucking state trooper doesn’t do shit. He’s just watching the whole thing unfold still stopped at the light. I let this guy go. The fucking cop lets this guy go. Then he’s following me. Me? Dude, that guy just was up on the curb. Light ’em up and ticket ’em. Shit why aren’t you pulling that dude over? Where the fuck are COPS when you need it?

Doing some laundry.
Put it in washing machine at 8:30.
Go up to put it in the drier at 9:30 while watching MLB post season.
The wash wasn’t done. It wasn’t even started. The lid was up on the washing machine. Did I do that? Or…..!
I then let the wash continue. I wonder if it had enough soap or did it all wash away in the first rinse through? At least the clothes are wet.
Opening Day 2009
Penultimate Game, 2009
Caught several innings of tonight’s Tigers-Twins game. Didn’t see the win, but was impressed.
It’s October ball. Can’t wait for next year though…
O’s vs Blue Jays 100309

Here’s your humble host waiting to get some baseball lovin’ from the Toronto Blue Jays before the penultimat game. This is center-right in the bleachers. The Jays didn’t have left-handed sluggers to crush it out here often, although I did get a ball via ricochet. Sweet!
We moved to left field to get some baseball lovin’, but it was rowdy with old, white guys throwing ‘bows as they scrambled for the loose ball. Catch it on the fly.
Everyone loves Pixar. The CGI animation studio can do no wrong. Young, old, babies, kids, teenagers, adults, from the fat to the skinny, Constance to Wendy, all find something to admire about Pixar animation. Granted there are few neysayers. I, myself, find the last few Pixar films to be awkward in striking the balance of the storyline for all to enjoy. Today's link takes you to Todd VanDerWerff's introduction to The House Next Door's Pixar week. It will be a good read, and good to watch for the rest of the essay's on that great animation studio, Pixar.http://www.thehousenextdooronline.com/2009/10/studio-as-author-introduction-to-pixar.html
With the sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays the Orioles end the 2009 season on a high note. We can forget the 13 losses before then, because all is forgiven when you win. So, so long to the Birds of Baltimore. It was a fun season, frustrating at times, but fun none the less. We’ll see you in 2010.
Just got back from the Orioles game. It’s a WIN! They won’t lose 100 games this season. Close, but no cigar.
We went to the game early. Ate at Faidley’s again. Oysters, fried clams, and crab cakes. Plus a beer. Then we stroll down Howard to Camden Yards and get our tickets. I love that we suck, because you can get any seat in the house. I choose center left against the fence.
We get a beer at Pickles Pub waiting for the gates to open. When they do we collect our Orioles tankard, and wish we could’ve joined the Octoberfest festivities in the picnic area in center field. We go shag some fly balls in the bleachers during the Blue Jays batting practice. I get a ball!! It ricocheted off the back wall and into my glove. Sweet! We then switch up and shag balls near our seat. Nothing comes close as they tail off towards the foul poll.
The O’s win! Can’t wait for the last game of the season. See you there!
The Informant! is Homer Simpson. Most everytime that Matt Damon opened his mouth and talked about ADM I was thinking that he was Homer Simpson brought to life on the big screen. The cluelessness and the profound stupidity was all there. Matt Damon can do no wrong in channelling the buffoon, Homer Simpson.
The only problem Matt Damon is Matt Damon. I could not get past fat Matt Damon to imagine the actual protagonist which distracted me all movie long because he was supposed to be portraying a real man. Fat Matt Damon is still Matt Damon rather than the guy who brought ADM ignominy.
The film though was awkward. It was rated R, but I don’t think there was any profanity, nudity, violence, or adult themes to warrant that rating. It was supposed to be a comedy, but wasn’t of the Something about Mary type. It was very Coen-ish. It looked like the seventies, with clothes from the eighties, taking place in the nineties, and funky sixties fonts. The story was rambling. I couldn’t tell the time frame when the actual events took place. Did he meet with the FBI months later? Or was it next week? No idea, because it all seemed to take place in a compressed time frame. One scene wasn’t directly related to another scene in time. Awkward.
In the end, the film sorta rambled then it ends. It’s an ending at least.
2 of 5 stars.
