I am too lazy to sort
After the post about looking for sneakers, I had stopped by Zappos.com to check out if they had the sizes I wanted. I did find what I needed there, but didn’t buy anything. You know zappos does you well by not charging you shipping for your shoes you buy especially if you had to return them. Except now at every website I visit, Zappos.com is taunting me with the shoes. Seems they’re following me everywhere I go. I guess the only way to stop this is to buy a pair.
I really don’t have much to say about the latest DVD I received in the mail from NetFlix, Fantastic Mr. Fox, but I need to. The movie is good. It is a Wes Anderson movie through and through. The triptychs, the kid, the heists, the plans: it’s all Wes Anderson.
Why I decided to write a post about the movie is that Roald Dahl wrote the book was married to Patricia Neal who sadly died over the past weekend. Very coincidental if I do say so myself. She acted in The Day the Earth Stood Still and A Face In the Crowd. Watch those movies, because I liked them myself.
How can The Rolling Stones' "Exile on Main Street" be their best album if I haven't heard any of the songs on it?
I like to use my blog as a dream diary.
This morning I had another dream. Sorry to describe it to you, but I must. It’s been 13 hours so the only details I truly remember are she is sitting seizu and we are watching television. I think I tried to snuggle up with her. Details are really fuzzy.
That is all.
Never could stand white sneakers. Unfortunately, white is their predominant. Yeah, it makes it hard to buy sneakers, then. I don’t like white sneakers, because once you get them dirty, they become ugly.
But I can’t stand black sneakers, they make your feet look tiny. Black is also sneaker’s second most popular color. The set of sneakers I can buy gets smaller and smaller as I shop.
I went sneaker shopping today and bought a pair of grey Adidas. Now there’s a color to like. This pair are running shoes. I looked at some casual Sperry slip-ons, but no size 9. They have 9 1/2, which were a tad too big. I would’ve liked to have compared the 9 to 9 1/2 just to see if they felt better. I then found the Adidas (9 1/2) that I bought, but I am completely underwhelmed with them. I still bought them as I like the brand and the color, but I kept searching for another pair.
I checked out tennis shoes. What a difference! They fit and feel better than running shoes. I’ve been deceiving myself all my life. Because tennis demands white, all tennis shoes are white. They don’t have another color except black — the two colors I can’t stand. Yet, now I have to get a pair of white tennis shoes because they feel so much better than the running shoes that I’ve been buying.
My prejudice has been arrested. White it is.
Even though they still rocking the worst record in baseball, the Orioles manage to be .500 when I show up at the Yard. In fact, I’m also on a four game winning streak starting with that amazing win against the Marlins, then the final, sweeping game against the Nats, onto a delicious extra inning win against the Rays, and last nights bombastic nine inning awesomeness versus the Angels. Maybe things are looking up?
I had originally wanted 75 wins from this team. Now, I’m just happy for them to play some competitive baseball. No more rolling over and not making a game of it. They’ve got to go out and make the rest of the season fun.
This is what to watch from the team for the rest of the season. First, our young pitchers need to step up. They need to pitch into the later innings and keep the team in the game. Next, the batters have to start hitting to their potential. These guys are probably average hitters, but so far this year they’ve been below average. The Law of Averages is gonna kick in. Our bats just need to hang in tight. Third, defense has to be solid. They don’t have to be all Brooks Robinsons, but they need to minimize stupid blunders. Finally, the bullpen has to be solid. They need to hold leads and shutdown rallies.
That all sounds easy. Let’s hope we finish strong.
Man, is this even legal?
I hope the Carp are doing well.
