“There’s nothing wrong with you Lisa. You’ve got this town in the palm of your hand.”
“Not quite it seems… Goodbye Jeff.”
“You mean ‘Good night.'”
“I mean what I said.”
“Well Lisa, couldn’t we just… couldn’t we just keep things status quo?”
“Without any future?”
“Well, when am I gonna see you again?”
“Not for a long time… At least not until tomorrow night.”

Don’t those away jerseys look awesome. Now if our team was much, much better they would be worthy of carrying on the awesome that is the history of the Baltimore Orioles.
Koji “Kojira” Uehara had a rough night. I think he’ll end up with a high ERA after this game given that he was charged with 7 earned runs in 6 innings. But he’s still 2-0 for the season. Banzaii, Uehara-san!
Thinking of all things baseball. Last night, the O’s survived at the Texas Rangers with Koji “Kojira” Uehara pitching.
It’s funny what you find in anime. Here’s another baseball centric one. It wants to capture the otaku heart as it is about some teenage girls in Japan in the early 20th century. They decide they want to play baseball, but lack the knowledge of the rules or the equipment to play.
Yeah, I didn’t get this from today’s link. I read it on wikipedia.
Dreamed about I.
We were driving around in my convertible Mini Cooper. CapitolSwell, my dad, the FishTank and some other person. We had to go to a restaurant to meet the FishTank’s lawyer. It was I.
She was very fidgety and flighty — talking fast. She smoked. We sat down. She was talking to everyone in the restaurant. She handed cigarettes to some people. She yelled her order at the wait staff.
After signing the contracts. We walked out, and she went to smoke. I said to CapitolSwell, “I wonder if I can get her to give me a cigarette?” I already had one in my hand which I handed back to CapitolSwell, as I asked her for one.
While puffing away together, I asked her how long its been since we’ve seen each other. I kept going on about 15 years. She kept babbling since high school. She was still fidgety. I attempted to hug her, but stopped and asked if I could. She said go ahead. I did. It felt good.
I thought about getting her number. Right as I was about to ask, she puts out her cigarette in a dramatic fashion, says she’s got to get back to dinner with her parents, says great to see me, and goes back inside. I put out my cigarette.
As we walk away to get in the car, she comes running back out. I ask for her number. She says okay. I pull out my iPhone. She tries to grab it out of my hand screaming let me to let her enter her number. I’m waiting for iPhone to wake from sleep. As it does she grabs it and starts jabbing at buttons. She’s very unsuccessful at getting her number on iPhone. She comments about my red wallpaper, “Why’s your phone all red?” With no actual number entered, she runs to her parents as they come out the restaurant.
I walk up and calmly ask for her to give me her number. She gives it to me as her parents eyeball me while speak German to each other.
I then say I’ll call sometime. I run to the car where I jump in the back middle seat. CapitolSwell takes the keys to drive, and my dad had been drinking a soda. The other person joins us in the back seat grumbling about the tight seating arrangement. I say to CapitolSwell, “You sure you can drive stick?” He gets the car going and crunches some gears. At a stop sign, he doesn’t want to stand still so he cuts in front of some guy walking in the cross walk. He sees some dude tailgating, tells him off, and steps on the gas.
As we speed away I stand up into the wind and look back. The tailgater is coming up fast again.

Yeah, Orioles! The worst is that the last championship pennant is 1983. We may be headed for Cubs territory the way things are going on with the team, the division and the leagues.
Every little thing that you say or do
I’m hung up
I’m hung up on you
Waiting for your call
Baby night and day
I’m fed up
I’m tired of waiting on you
Ring ring ring goes the telephone
The lights are on but there’s no-one home
Tick tick tock it’s a quarter to two
And I’m done
I’m hanging up on you
I can’t keep on waiting for you
I know that you’re still hesitating
Don’t cry for me
’cause I’ll find my way
you’ll wake up one day
but it’ll be too late
Madonna, “Hung Up”
Right around starting to watch anime and reading manga, I started to like watching baseball. I think it was the fact that the Japanese like the game a lot, and I just naturally gravitated to liking it too. Not to mention the fact that the greatest episode of Haruhi had to be the boredom of Haruhi Suzumiya where the SOS Brigade had to win a baseball game so that the world did not collapse because of Suzumiya-sama. But I hadn’t read or watched a sports manga/anime. I did read some Prince of Tennis, and picked up in the bookstore Slam Dunk, but those aren’t my sports. What I really wanted was a baseball manga. They just don’t bring those to America, because they think that the game is no longer our national pastime.
So I read about this Cross Game anime that is new this year. And I hit the torrent sites for it. The first episode is awesome. I’m amazed by it, because it looks so simple and for a younger set, but the twists and turns of the story are very mature. It also has zero fan service and isn’t any moe.
I’m hoping you read today’s link and too decide to watch it, because I can’t wait to see how this one turns out.
UPDATE: SPOILERS IN THAT LINK! BEWARE!!
