Someday I'll Get Back to Paying Attention to Current Events

Things I like about baseball:

Ok there's not much right now because most of the time I have no idea wtf is going on and I refuse to believe that the game is as slow as it seems. There's GOT to be something else going on in order to keep a hundred gahzillion people interested in it.

But I LOVE listening to the Pirates commentators on FSN. I'm completely confident that baseball is a sport that I could adequately call on both TV and the radio. Tonight's game featured the Buccos against Milwaukee. The game of baseball is so obnoxiously slow, the 2 guys calling the game started talking about the different hats that people were wearing in the crowd. Then they switched topics in the same inning and said, "Some day, I'd like to see Yankee Stadium."

Dude I could totally talk about fashion and traveling on TV intermixed with something like "Oh... and he hit the ball! LaRoche actually hit the ball! Its in the air. Aaaaaaand... oh the other team caught the ball. So LaRoche is out and Morgan's back up to bat. You know I like how he wears his socks on the outside of his uniform instead of inside. Its way cuter and totally more baseball--player like. If you go back in history, all the best players wore their uniforms like that. Uh Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantel. Roberto Clemente. I think if more of the players on the Pirates wore their socks outside, then they'd definitely win more games."



Go ahead and think Legally Blonde but I'm telling you, I can fill space with my voice like no one's business.

Look at Nate over there on the right. He's such a wannabe emo-kid. He just looks like he's thinking "God I hate my life, I hate that I have to wear this and stand next to the guy who wears his socks on the outside but I'm making a bagillion dollars and on a team that can barely make it to .500! God I hate my life, just take the picture. I'm going to be different and not put both my hands on my hips because I want to look like a male model which is what I really want to do. Baseball is gay, I want to have my own A&F ad."

He's totally thinking that, look at his face!

The other night one of my guests gave me a box of Betsy Ann chocolates as a thank you gift.
It looked like this:


It was also totally unexpected and so super nice. I've never had Betsy Ann chocolates before (I know, shut up!) but holy mother of god are they amazing! My hot-as-balls boyfriend had never heard of of them so I set him straight and tried to save a couple for him but after tonight, yeah that's not going to be a possibility.

Sorry!

Twitter has become an educational toy. Somehow, the Executive Chef at a new restaurant close to my hotel managed to find and start following me on Twitter. I'm not quite sure how all this came about exactly but he seems like a pretty nice guy. One of my regular guests was talking the place up the other night and saying how he knew the vocalist of the band that performs there on Friday nights (small world, right?). So, I decided that since Friday was my hot-as-balls boyfriend's birthday and I needed something nice to do for him that night, we could get cleaned up after work and jaunt on over to enjoy the music, some nice hors d'oeuvres and a cocktail (or 4 if you're me).

Here's the catch. My boy doesn't drink. This hasn't been a problem in the least for our relationship. If we go to dinner and I order wine or a beer, he's fine with that. And although he never says anything, gives me a look or an air or vibe... I always feel guilty ordering alcohol whenever he's paying for me. It feels disrespectful, so I don't do it.

I sent him a text last night that simply said, "I want to get trashed one night and let you take advantage of me." Friday sounds like a good night for that. I hope he puts up with me.

My Executive Chef friend says his restaurant has some really great non alcoholic beverages. I might have to put his mixology knowledge to the test! Hash House a Go Go had a GREAT drink called a Ginger Lemonade (or was it a Limeade?!) that they ended up getting rid of because it wasn't popular.

UNBELIEVABLE!

Hmm we'll see in any case :) I can come up with some pretty insane things if given the chance. And I think I might have my opportunity here. I should go back to school for mixology. That'd be a blast!
