At Angels Stadium last night, there was an ad on one of the screens for a while about Gilette's support of a Prostate Cancer research foundation. And all I could think was, "The best a man can get."

The worry and alternate anticipation of the Pirates redo is really bugging me. What if it's horrible? What if it's wonderful? What if it ruins the classic? What if it's applause-worthy spectacular?

I'm miserable.

I'm worried, too. I guess we can only wait and see. I'm hoping it's something that can be changed back easily if they really eff it up. I saw some artist renderings of the changed on MC and although they looked great, I'm thinking the actual changes themselves will be less than great. It's the Disney way...
The soonest I can get to the park is in Sept. That's a long time to wait...

I know I've mentioned this before, but it's worth repeating. Angels fans suck. Not because they like the Angels, but because they aprantly don't like baseball. They cheer their team on reluctantly, and only when the big screen tells them to. The instant "Make Some Noise!" disappears from the screen...they stop making noise!

"Two outs in the bottom of the 9th, tie game, runner in scoring position, 2 strikes...hmmm....does the big screen tell me to cheer? No? Okay then, I will sit here and politely read the hair restoration advertisement on the screen until told otherwise."

And yet...they find time at work to give me sh!t for wearing a Dodgers shirt. Like I give a crap about some non-existent Angels/Dodgers rivalry that the apathetic Angels fans seem to want to invent to feel important. Bah.

"make some noise" usually results in a group yawn

I'd rather not.

Why oh why do they still put that scene in books and movies where the married/engaged/unavailable man is caught at home by his wife/future mother-in-law while a girl wearing his bathrobe walks out of his bedroom...yet of course he never slept with her and he's a victim of ridiculous circumstance? For God's sake, we've seen it. It was funny the first 3,722 times. Now it is cliche and no longer even partially interesting.

"Oh look, he actually didn't sleep with her, but it looks like he did....how will he ever explain this to his wife/mother-in-law????"

I was attempting to enjoy Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman when I came to this scene. Then I had to prevent myself from throwing the book in order to get away from it.
