It's May 7th. Do you know where your cake is?
I guess I'll rant more about the Mariners game yesterday to the baseblog sometime, maybe. But yeah, that was the big Thursday thing -- worked on a puzzle a bit and then went to the Mariners game in the evening, with the Fords, and Zach and Jess, and Mike of course. I got there a lot earlier than everyone else because hey, Colby Lewis was starting for Texas, and the last time I saw him pitch he was on the Hiroshima Carp. But the obnoxious hecklers at the bullpen yelling in my ear really annoy the crap out of me. Telling them to stop swearing at Lewis and go yell encouragement to the Mariners starter Vargas only made them more rude. I hate the entire booing culture here, and it's kinda hard to make myself care about the game again.
The highlight of the evening was having an usher stop me like "Hey! You're like the only person besides me that I've seen here in like 5 years wearing a Shigetoshi Hasegawa jersey! Cool!"
Well, the Mariners won, but really, we were sitting in the upper deck and it was so empty, I felt pretty disconnected from the game. Justin Smoak is pretty cool, that's about all I learned.
Friday was semi-officially the start of CAKE WEEKEND OMG (because well, now it is Saturday and it is my birthday). I spent the afternoon basically doing laundry, baking brownies, and writing a puzzle for today's PH meeting (which I got people to playtest and which was fun enough, at least). Brownies were instead of cupcakes because they're so much easier to transport, see.
Oh, also, while I'm at it, I basically came to a working agreement to start working at Tagged on May 16th. Which means that yes, I'll be theoretically doing the Seattle->SF commute for about 6-8 weeks until they get the Seattle office opened. Well, we'll see how it works out. I'm still somewhat in disbelief, but basically I guess next weekend Andy and Mike and I will go down to SF for the Shinteki:Aquarius puzzle event, and then they'll all come back to Seattle and I won't for a few days more. It also means I have to get my boxes OMG OUT OF BALLARD in the next week or so, because I hesitate to put this project off if I'll be out of town a lot.
But I should probly be bothering people in CA more...
After PH meeting, we all (well, me Mike Andy Ben Adam and Rehana) went to dinner at Cheesecake Factory! Mike and I split a sandwich and I had sweet potato fries, so we also got cheesecake and brought it home. CAKE WEEKEND PART TWO!
After dinner we took Ben and Andy back to MS to sober up and watch Youtube videos and hung out for a while longer than planned. Whatever, it was fun.
AMAZINGLY, the May 7th Hosei-Rikkio game was broadcast live on Sky-A, and someone had it on justin.tv, so I get to watch it without waiting a week! The starters were, as I predicted, Kazuki Mishima for Hosei and Masato Komuro for Rikkio. Komuro is one of my new favorites... but Mishima's birthday is ALSO May 7th. I even sent him a birthday card, though I have no clue if it got there. Sadly, he got kinda beaten around by the Rikkio batters and was out in 3 innings. What a crappy way to have a birthday. On the other hand, Komuro got his 5th win, so I can at least be happy for him I suppose. The hero interview was Komuro, and Yusuke Yamada. I've been a fan of Yamada's since 3 years ago when he was in high school and finally met him at opening weekend this year. So, yay for him. :) But poor Mishi.
My friend Kobayashi's collecting doubles of all the Big 6 weekly thingies they give out at Jingu for me, and said she'll send them to me at the end of the season. It was very much like "We still have an empty seat for you here, you know"...
