Wow, I really haven’t been updating, have I? Sorry ’bout that.

It’s been a really, really busy week and I’ve been doing all kinds of cool things. For example, I attended a Giants baseball game, which I enjoyed a lot more than I expected to. It probably helped that the Astros totally humiliated themselves on several occasions, thereby providing me with entertainment and enabling me to pretend I knew what was going on.

“Hey, that guy tried to catch the ball, and dropped it, and then fell down. Boy, they sure suck!”

I also learned several amusing things one can say at one’s first baseball game to sound as dumb as humanly possible. Thankfully, I only said them as part of a “hah! At least you’re not so new to the sport that you’d say this!” discussion.

• “Are we on the Giants’ side of the field, or the Astros’?”
• “Does that mean they’ve scored a point?”
• “Where’s the goalie?”
• “Do they get to try for a field goal now?”

Of course, there were plenty of only marginally-stupid things for me to say. “Why are they playing the Chicken Dance song?” for one.

But at any rate, it was fun. I’d actually be willing to attend another ball game if the opportunity presented itself. I just gotta remember to dress more warmly if it’s a night game. I was wearing three layers and still wasn’t warm.
