ほら耳を澄ませば聞こえてくる 内に秘めた祈りに似た叫びが
Sep. 26th, 2003 02:12 amToday I finally wore my Yomiuri Giants shirt around. It was pretty funny, one guy in the elevator was like "what, are you defecting to the NL west now?" and I couldn't figure out what he meant until a few minutes later, when I was like...
1) dude. it SAYS yomiuri on the sleeve.
2) it's a Yoshinobu Takahashi #24 shirt.
3) even if you don't see the name Takahashi on the back, the SF/NY giants retired #24 for Willie Mays over thirty years ago. DIDN'T YOU GET THE MEMO?
Takahashi is cool though. I was reading a random webpage on Japanese baseball the other day and they were like "If I could pick my Japanese-born all-star current baseball player team... outfield is easy, Hideki Matsui in left, Ichiro in center, and Yoshinobu Takahashi in right. Michihiro Ogasawara at first, and..." I thought that was cool :) I like Ogasawara, he's like the unsung hero of the Nippon Ham Fighters or something.
Yeah, anyway. Brent had a party for his old team today and invited our team. There was beer and food. Colin and Aaron and I went, and we ran into Ann, and now I'm trying to convince her she wants to defect to our group, to up the CMU quotient. I ducked out of the party after a while and went and tried to do more work, while not being distracted by the Phillies officially eliminating themselves from the NL Wild Card. I was at work until like 8:15pm and then I grabbed a bus downtown, ate a 6" Subway sub in the time between transferring buses, and came home.
All I really did at home from 9:30pm until 1:30am was play ( that goddamn game. I joined a new crew! )
Oh yeah. I decided that if I'm gonna keep babbling about PP, maybe this is a good excuse to get rid of an old LJ picture (and then when I get sick of PP it'll be a good excuse to get yet another new picture). So, bye bye "変な外人", hello Janthina-the-puzzle-pirate. Ain't it cute?
