masterofmidgetsas pre-emptive 4th of July celebrating, my dad and I went out to dinner at the diner in town, and then to an Isotopes game. Sitting outside watching baseball, full of chicken-fried steak and mashed potatoes and reading a book about comics in the 40s, I could only have felt more American if I was eating an apple pie in one hand and punching Hitler in the face with the other. While wearing an American flag bikini. It made me feel very patriotic!
Baseball game was awesome, from what I know of baseball, which is very little (hockey being the sport of my heart). We were playing a team from Memphis whose name I do not know, but their blue uniforms were very nice. We don't have Manny Ramirez anymore, since he went back to the Dodgers, but I don't really care about that. And they led us 4-0 for six innings until we had the most epically awesome inning - 7 runs in one innings, including a grand slam, all of them after we got our first two outs. It was exciting! And we won, of course.
Tomorrow I am getting up painfully early to go with my dad to work, so that I can go apply for a job at a call center. Fan-fucking-tastic. Depending on which clients he's working for, he's either going to let my find a quiet corner to plug in my laptop and mess around, or leave me at the big Barne and Noble by the downtown mall. Or something. Whatever, I'm still not looking forward to it.
