RED SOX WIN!!! .... and nobody cares.


I tried real hard this year to pay attention to the Baseball playoffs. And after watching a lot more baseball than i have since the Anaheim Angels of Anaheim won the pennant in 2002 over the San Francisco Giants of San Francisco. With the Redsox sweeping the series, i was watching, not realizing it was Game 4, and in the 8th inning, I decided it would be more entertaining to play xbox than watch the BoSox win again. None the less, I have again come to the conclusion... Baseball sucks and is boring and unwatchable.


Things I remember from this year's baseball season:
  • Barry Bonds ties record, then breaks it. Then gets shown the door.
  • Diamond Backs win the Division.
  • Rockies make a huge run and then beat Padres in sudden death play-off game.
  • Arizona fans are so uninterested in baseball that they struggled to sell out the first game against the Rockies. This results in a lot of advertising and promotion to let us know there are still 4000 tickets available for Game 1. Sad. They did eventually sell out, but half the fans showed up late.
  • Rockies sweep the D-backs.
  • Lots of bugs in Cleveland. This leads me to believe that contrary to Drew Carrey, that Cleveland does NOT rock. Oh. And the Injuns blow a 3-1 series lead.
  • Game 1 of the world series, I opted to watch Kid Nation and Bionic Woman.
  • Red Sox win.

Transformer Costume

A few months ago, I wanted to be a transformer for Halloween. But that would be way too much work. Look at how creative some of these guys are. They actually Transform.

Halloween Ideas


I was thinking of my next Halloween Costume. I did Wolverine for a couple years, and then I was Luigi for 2 years. So while I don't actually have anywhere to go this Halloween, it is still my second favorite faux-holiday of the year next to flag day.

So. not wanting to invest much time and/or effort, my last minute costume is going to be the McLovin Fake ID. I'm going to blow this card up and paste it onto cardboard or foam-core, cut out a square where the picture should be, then walk around holding the card.

It is really inspired by the National Lampoon's Vegas Vacation movie, where Rusty gets his fake ID as Nick Papageorgio.
