... and i already have baseball withdrawal.
both the cubs and white sox have off days today. why is that? after a home opener (at pittsburgh and at home, respectively) there is always an off day. curious.
there is nothing for me to watch. good thing i have a concert in 2 hours (eddie vedder!!!!) otherwise i might have had to resort to doing my taxes or folding laundry or something else constructive. whew!

UGLY, and beautiful
UGLY is the only word to describe the cubs win today. sloppy pitching, sloppy fielding. they cubs deserved to lose today with all their struggles. 12 innings of back and forth vs the pirates was almost too much to bear. next time cleaner guys, ok? please?
however, on a bright note, joe crede hit a grand slam today in the sox home opener vs the twins. gorgeous! and he even took a curtain call, the first one ive seen him take. keep it up joe! play better so SF will be willing to pay a premium for you and you can show off you skills in the bay area. i'll come watch every week! even if its for a team that lost their 4th in a row today and are now 1-6 on the season. wow, thats bad.
cubs 10, pirates 8
twins 4, white sox 7

bizarro day
these are not good signs. i think the apocalypse is rapidly approaching:
im scared. what's this alternate reality i'm living in?
brewers 3, cubs 6
white sox 2, indians 1
- ryan dempster gets his first W as the cubs defeat the brew crew 6-3
- kerry wood gets his first major league save
- john danks got run support in his first start. this is the same guy who went 0-5 at the beginning of last season despite pitching pretty decent. of course, the universe still hates him, as he didnt get the win. that went to dotel, who pitched a single out. not fair.
- new kids on the block, now into their last 30s/early 40s, are reuniting.

swamp feet
i blew off work today to go snowboarding today. it was hey you's idea. she's on spring break this week, and wanted to get in one last day. we drove up last night, stayed at rustling wood, went to heavenly (the nevada side) and drove home.
it was a good day. the slopes were slushy, but still good. and i feel so much better about myself when im out there. hey you made me do not 1 but 2 blue runs. i made it ok. im still improving. and she was very patient and continued to give me pointers and waited for me.
we stopped at the oliver garden in vacaville for dinner. i had a craving. we had eaten breakfast before we left, and only had some minor snacks in the car until dinner. the restaurant was interesting, to say the least. a vibrant cross section of america. lets leave it at that before i get petty.
walking to the car after dinner, the air in vacaville was nasty, it smelled like manure. apparently vacaville is a cow town. not the most pleasant smell to walk into. EVEN NASTIER, however, was the smell in my car when we got in. i immediately noticed the rankness and thought that maybe we had left monday's chinese food or some cheese out of the cooler. when asked, hey you had an answer right away -- it was her nasty swampy snowboarding boots. how such a gross smell from such little boots permeated my entire car is unbelievable. and completely disgusting. seriously, drop those boots on the insurgents in iraq and call it a day. all the troops can just come home.

horse show
mopey boy and i went down to pebble today, to see hey you's horse show. it was my first time down there. very interesting the people who participate and watch those shows. lots of rich people, obviously. its not a poor man's sport.
and lunch at the club at pebble was interesting. i was definitely the token asian in the restaurant dining room. my $25 open faced steak sandwich was delicious though.
the pictures of hey you are posted on my flickr. i had to practice timing the slow shutter speed of my camera to get good pics. i ended up with quite a few pics of her horse's butt, or approaching the jump. i SO need a new camera.
here's the best picture i took today. unfortunately, its not of hey you. its of a 13 year old leaping over a height of 4'9" on $750,000 horse. no, all my zeros are in the right place there. what horse is worth a 4-bedroom house in berkeley? apparently this one is.
