Out with the crowd

Tonight was our company's annual trip to a baseball game. A-girl was there with her grandparents. Another girl from the office, S-girl, couldn't leave me alone. Here I am trying to make points with A-girl and S-girl kept interrupting. I don't know if she has a crush on me or what but she just wouldn't let me go. I moved seats and she moved next to me again. Here I go again, attracting the wrong girl. I hate that.

I was perfectly fine, doing my own thing before the game and S-girl sends me a text message that I need to come pick her up at the office. She had previously mentioned that she might need a ride to the game. So I obliged... and she got drunk as hell at the game. Mabye that's why she was so clingy.

Amazingly enough there were a few people there who had never been to a baseball game so I tried to explain as best I could the rules and finer points of baseball as I know them. It is at this point I will tell you that I am in no way, shape, or form a baseball fan. I can stand the annual game we go to and maybe one or two more. I don't have 'a team' and I don't watch baseball on TV. So here I am explaining the rules to a young lady from China and one from Taiwan. Don't ask about the designated hitter -- I don't understand that one.

Earlier in the day I had received a call from G-lady who, with the rest of the team that I had previously traveled with, was sitting in an airplane before takeoff. They all expressed their regret that I wasn't traveling with them on this trip but I told them that I didn't need to go. It was always the plan that I would run with them and train the guy who was with them now. Still didn't change the fact that they missed me.

L-girl (my 'work wife') and I are getting together on Sunday, probably for lunch. She asks me "what do you want to do?" and I laugh slyly. She didn't say 'no'.
You have to understand that L-girl and I have never kissed, held hands or done anything considered even remotely controversial. But everytime she (or any other woman) comes out with a statement like that I just have to laugh.

It's late and I'm going to bed now.

Top 10 Cartoon Duo's

This time out the subject is Top 10 Cartoon Duo’s. I was only going to make this a Top 5 list but I had so many entries to work with, I added the last 5. Here’s the list is no particular order – wait, that’s not right… 10. Ren & Stimpy: Call this entry the ‘Odd Couple’ of the group. A cat and a dog (I think) living together and making their way despite their obvious instincts to be sworn enemies. I have to admit that this cartoon was hard to watch sometimes because of the ‘gross’ nature of both characters – pooping and boogers a big part of the vernacular. “Oh, Re-e-e-n?”, “Yes, Stimpy!” 9. Inspector Gadget & Penny: An uncle and his niece go around solving crimes against Dr. Claw. It was actually Gadget and his dog, Brain, that tried to solve the crimes and Penny that actually solved them. She would tell Brain the solution and that crazy dog would expend a great deal of energy trying to make the Inspector understand the solution. Finally, when Inspector Gadget would ‘stumble...

Thanks, giving, and the weekend

Seems like anything that goes on in my life happens over the weekend. I had another date on Saturday. The one word to describe this woman is “wacky”. I think she was trying too hard to be light and funny but it almost bordered on the disturbing. This is sort of what she looked like. Her hair was a little curlier. We ended up having a lengthy talk about movies (no surprise, her favorite movie genre is ‘comedy’), which wouldn’t be bad, but I kept wanting to move on and she kept droning on about movies. I swear we talked about movies for half an hour – which is a LONG time to be talking about something on which neither participant agrees. Next came music. Okay, now I can talk about some music. Here again, we didn’t really agree but we didn’t discuss this for a very long time (something I was ready to do). I think it was pretty clear early on that we weren’t going to work out… there were too many lulls in the conversation. I don’t know about her, but I had to work hard to come up with topi...

Another Run

Well, after my last successful date, I figured we ought to try it again. In fact, at the first date I told her that it wasn’t up for debate – that we WOULD go out again. And we did. It was the Saturday following the first date. She had been out with a friend of hers on Friday night and they must have gotten a little wild with the drinks because she appeared to be “hurtin’” come date-night. I suggested a couple of places and we settled on a laid-back little place where we could just hang out and talk. Before we get to the date, I have to explain what I was doing beforehand. Superman had invited me to a corporate function of his wife’s work. It was given a renaissance theme. That was fine but the woman who was doing the announcements had a very screechy voice… AND she was amplified… AND she was yelling. We ate the obligatory hot dog and hamburger and generally made our presence known – then got the hell out of dodge. I think if it wasn’t for the screeching woman we would have stayed long...
