I got a little too involved in the Rockies/Padres game last night to post. I don't really feel so badly about it, because that was an excellent game. One of the benefits of rooting for a crappy baseball team is that I can pick teams at random to support during the playoffs; this year, I'm going for the Rockies and the Indians.
If neither of those teams win, I will cry. I will probably be so despondent, my coworkers will confiscate my shoelaces and belt. I'll probably start listening to lots of Morrissey, not the later stuff, which is listenable, but the early stuff when no one was sure about his sexuality. I'll eat nothing but Hot Pockets (NOT Lean Pockets) and I'll be too depressed to throw the cardboard pocket-sheath away. Literally, my bedroom will be filled to the brim with pocket-sheaths. I'll watch Dead Poet's Society a lot, maybe writing a little fan fiction about the Ethan Hawke character. I'll cover my neighbor's collapsible pontoon boat (or whatever the hell it is) with Sylvia Plath poems and, when confronted about it, I will put out a clove cigarette in my own arm. I'll buy a lot of weird liquor from Eastern European websites and drink it all, while staring at Grady Sizemore's stats page and sighing meaningfully.
What happens if one of those teams wins? I'll eat some Skittles and watch some Telemundo or something. Play-off baseball: feel the heat!
In other news, this weekend confirmed two separate things. First, it confirmed that I am a certified tapas maniac. I'm not exactly sure that's the correct term for what I was eating at a certain lady's birthday party on Saturday night, but I'm going to act worldly and say that yeah, those were totally tapas. They also seem like they'd be fun to make, because they're so tiny.
Second, this weekend confirmed that I really have no idea on this golfing thing. For the past several months, I've been confusing a 7 iron with a loft wedge; for the record, the little icon on the club could be an L or a 7 or perhaps an uppercase gamma.
