today i got an extra hour at work.
That's good.
I have to leave at noon on Friday.
That's bad.
I got paid today.
That's good.
I didn't bring a heavy enough coat to work.
That's bad.
I tried a new bus route as an experiment.
That's good.
I wound up walking forty extra blocks to get home.
that's bad.
Well, it' wouldn't have been so bad if I'd come properly equipped. But i'm a moron, so there go.
When i sneeze, orange spots appear on the kleenex.
That's....uh....dude, go to a fucking doctor.
brook and i celebrated tonight with the long overdue purchase of groceries- we, or rather, I, cooked up two pounds of hamburgers and a pan chock full-o-tater tots. Would you like to come over? Will/can you bring some beer? answer the second question first.
So my sister pledged Tau. that should prove to be a disaster. She's a part of Kuhn's line, and i'm not sure which one of them I should be apologizing to about that.
"I had a rehearsal for Death of a Salesman, only we're not allowed to show death at school, so now at the end we just dance around with sparklers."
"well, what should I call you?"
"you can call me anything you like as long as you're comfortable screaming it out..."
Haha. I'm such a kidder. there's so much humor there on so many levels, many of which revolve around the absurdity of my letting a girl call me Kenny while we're being naughty- bitch'd get punched in the face. (see what i did there? you thought i was going to take the easy route and point out the adsurdity of the idea that I could ever make a girl scream anything out other than, "For god's sake, let my baby go!")
100% pure, unrefined evil.
"So she's directing movies now, and she said she might be able to use me in some of them."
"As long as it's not porn, that's cool."
"Oh, if it were porn, that'd be even better- Starring ken dillon, a guy she dumped in college because he DIDN'T try to have sex with her...SMELL THE IRONY!!!"
This is a couple days late, but i need to get it off my chest while I remember it. I've been following the Detroit Tigers this entire season, initially because i plan to try out for the team next season (hey, i couldn't make them suck any more, and at least i'll play for the league minimum. Plus, at least one member of each major league team has to be on the All-Star team, so if i was decent, say hello to Ken Dillon, All Star...)
As the months wore on, I began to get a sneaking suspicion like i was watching something special in the works. The losses piled up, and the buzz in the air began that history was in the making.
As the Tigers passed the record to become the worst team in the history of the American League, the excitement reached a fever pitch. They needed 121 losses to pass the 1964 NY Mets as the worst team ever. In a way, their ineptitude became almost noble. There was a certain dignity in being that bad, that you couldn't help but root for them to keep on losing.
Then the Tigers closed their season by going 5-1 in their last six games, including winning their last three games of the season, (against a playoff team, no less), and finished the season at 43-119.
Still not a great record, but not the worst of all time. Just the second worst. Instead of capturing the record and a piece of sports immortality, the Tigers managed to turn potentially the most special, memorable season in recent history into just another crappy spectacle of ineptitude.
So I'd like to close with congratulations to the 2003 Detroit Tigers, a team so bad they managed to fuck up fucking up. See you at tryouts in the spring.
