If everyday were Friday, there'd be no Saturdays.

The Doctor Is In?

Why do I get the feeling that all of my co-workers' "doctor's appointments" are actually "job interviews"?

Whatball?

This sounds like an "any press is good press" story.

Softball attendance has been sagging lately, I hear.

Condition/Response

Went to see Dogville on Monday with fetz, and had the unfortunate experience of sitting right in front of a couple of chatterboxes. Even during the quiet, dramatic moments these two would stage whisper to each other.

And since I'm from passive aggressive Seattle, I didn't just turn around with my index to my lips and "shhh!" them.

No, I decided to train them. Each time they spoke, I sat tall in my chair. Waay tall, like straight-back, head to the ceiling tall. When they were quiet, I'd scrunch back down into the seat, out of sight.

Up, down, up down. Throughout two of this movie's three hours I pogo'd slo-mo style, hoping the people behind me would get the hint. Instead, they probably just thought I was restless.

I was.

After the movie, I said, "Gee, fetz, did you have to talk throughout the entire movie?"

"What? I didn't," he exclaimed.

"I know," I said, and turned and looked at the couple behind me.

They left quietly.

Add another address to the list.

Happy Birthday, Charlie!

To pay you proper homage, tonight I'll hopelessly pine for the leading lady.

If asked, I'd have to say that my favorite moment during my internship at Almost Live! was when I had to throw an empty beer can at John Keister's head over and over and over.

Nailed him each time.

I was driving through town and on a whim I popped open the ashtray. The guy on the corner holding the "Nam Vet - Need Food" sign heard me yell out:

"YAY! CANDY!"

I felt a little guity after that, so I gave him some starbursts.

I'll sometimes look at my hands gliding across the keyboard at 70 words per minutes, making mistakes only because the brain makes them, and think:

"Why can't these fingers play piano?"

Stupid Baseball

Tomorrow's Mariners home opener at the Safe is an afternoon game, which means that my lovely little out-of-the-way $3 parking lot suddenly becomes a $30 per car if-you-parked-any-closer-you'd-be-on-the-field parking lot.

Yay.
