Baseball Fever

Last night was the first baseball game of the year for me. I bought tickets in my normal section only to find out prices went up $5 for my preferred area if I buy them on the day of the game. Why are day of game tickets more expensive? Seems like the would tend to discourage walk up sales like myself. I sat in my section of choice, the lower left field bleachers, and talked with Sally for a few minutes. Sally is the usher for the section and I got to know her a little bit last year after she accused my of bogarting a seat. I laughed so hard at a 76 year old grandmother using the word bogart that I had know more about her. I was disappointed to hear she was recently laid off from her job and might no longer be able to keep her job as an usher as a result.

I feel like I had a lot of things to write about on here in the last couple of days but I'm drawing a blank when the time comes. I did add another blog in the links section - Rachel is a friend from college and she writes a lot of random, funny, bizarre, and generally interesting posts. She also seems to think she wrote about How I Met Your Mother first when in fact I wrote about the show way back in September so take that! Bam!

I bought wine yeast on my way home from work tonight. I think I'm going to make the milk jug based wine again because it was fun last time and I'm kind of bored. You need sugar, yeast, water, and frozen grape juice for ingredients and a balloon, milk jug, rubber bands for equipment. How can you go wrong with home made wine anyway? Don't answer that.

Between Deadliest Catch, Indecision 2008 (the election coverage on CNN is particularly over the top), and loading CD after CD into iTunes I haven't done much productive besides blog and work today. My "little brother" from Big Brothers/Big Sisters beat me at chess today. I probably should stop giving him a head start but he's gotten much better in the couple of months we've been playing. I think I'm regressing because I'm really excited for school to get over. Maybe I'm getting tired because it's over lunch hour but I would much rather go in the mornings or after work. I'll see how I feel about this next fall when the decision for next year is made. Today's lunch was better, a fish sandwich, graham crackers, and chocolate milk. Once again the fruits and vegetables were passed over but the food appeared edible and that's a moral victory.

So I'm back to the Indiana Primaries. It's 9:49 Pacific and they still haven't called the Hoosier State. I would hate to be counting ballots at 3am but that's just me. I'm excited for this election cycle to be over but I guess I'm watching election coverage myself.
