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...

Lunch with a side of awkward

Last week I was sitting in my office wondering what to eat for lunch since I didn’t bring anything to eat. I happened to be in our break room and saw a collection of restaurant menus and began thumbing through them for suggestions. I came across a place that I had heard of but had never been to, so I decided to go there – mostly because of how close it was to the office. I walked in and looked around. The place was empty. There was a table of 4 ladies in the corner who looked like your basic bridge-playing women. Sitting in the booth next to them was another couple that looked like they were wrapping things up in order to leave. Finally a server appeared and seated me at a table across the aisle from the foursome. By then, the other couple had left. As I looked around, I noticed a lot of the place was made of or covered in wood. It’s the kind of a place you might find overlooking a body of water, but all that was outside this place was a parking lot. The server was tall, thin, dark hai...

Left Undone

Currently, there’s a meme traveling around Facebook entitled “25 Random Things About Me” where you list 25 things about yourself and send it to 25 friends. Then they send theirs to 25 friends (including you) and so on. I don’t plan on doing this myself because everything about me is random. Instead, I plan to explore 10 things about my life that I’ve never done. This is not to say I will never accomplish these things but, as yet, I have not done these things in my life to this point. I admit some of these are unbelievable – the fact that I haven’t done them but, to the best of my ability, are true. So, to this point I have never: Ridden in the back of a stretch limo – I have been to several weddings and funerals where one of these vehicles was present. I have looked in the back of a stretch limo but never ridden back there. At a party one time a limo was ordered and I thought to myself “this could be it” but it was basically a modified Lincoln Towne Car and would definitely not qualif...
