yar.
i don't think i'm gonna bother watchin' the world series.
today another guy commented on my Kiltie jacket. said he was from pittsburgh, wanted to know why someone on the street in Seattle had a Carnegie Mellon coat.
hey, I played DDR tonight at Sunset for like half an hour. Did about 10 songs, with the arch support thingies in my shoes. My feet don't hurt now. I'll see how they are in the morning. I even played stuff like Xenon and Sync Oni and Vanity Angel and stuff to test the resilience of my feet. It wasn't too bad, although my PA seems to be down a bit, not sure if this is getting out of practice or if it's the same problem I had when I first got the sneakers.
i had this awful thing this morning where i was supposed to be in at 9:45, and i went out to get the slightly-after-9:17 bus at 9:17 and it was going by. sigh. so i waited outside for a while and the 9:33 never showed up. got on the 9:48, got to work at like 10:10, sat in US1 for a while, did the interview thingy, then went to lunch with![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
pauldf. We went to Westlake and I got a cheesesteak and you know, it's just not the same.
Found out on PP that they plan to launch the new ocean on Oct 27th or so. My crew's trying to figure out what we'll do then. Spinn said he was going to train me and Jamshid to be officers before the switch, so we'll see what happens.
Shortly after that I was hangin' out withdvarin in the game and we were like "Yarrr, we need someone to take a ship out for us." I asked around and eventually just decided to job for onetwolittleb's crew. Har! The officer on board, Evie, let me nav... and let me run sea battle... and pretty much let me pretend to be an officer all evening. That was fun. Except I couldn't tell the ship to sail. Grn. Anyway, we went off looking for skeletons for a while. Now here is the lame part. There was a gang of people who were basically chasing the skeletons around the whole time. Like we'd go to an island... and this same group of people would be fighting the skeletons. And we'd go to another island... and the SAME group was fighting them. Finally we decided to just wait at Papaya. Eventually we got to fight them! It was so exciting I forgot to take a screenshot. Oh well. Yay skellie-chasing. Aside from the ship running out of cannonballs and my Sea Battle standing going down from a few lost fights, it was a pretty good evening, I guess.

But still: two star pitchers started the game, it was tied up late, and we had extra innings. I don't think I've been this worked up about a baseball game since the '96 Series where the Yanks were the underdogs.
And yes, I wore my Yanks shirt to the office just to piss off my Sox fan co-workers. ;)

Interestingly, NBC is betting that the World Series will not be as popular as the playoffs, now that the Cubs are eliminated. NBC had been planning to air several reruns next week so as not to compete with the World Series, and now will replace them with originals.
Fox executives made no secret that they were openly rooting for the Cubs. The Cubs have more fans than the Marlins, and their long championship drought was a more compelling story for casual fans.
Researchers at Initiative Media estimated that a Cubs-Red Sox World Series would generate a 16.7 average TV rating, while a Marlins-Yankees World Series would only get a 12.4. That's a difference of more than four million households tuning in or turning off, a significant impact on Fox's business.
The Marlins have little following outside of Florida. Although the Yankees are in the nation's largest media market, many viewers outside of New York are tired of the team because of its recent run of success, an Initiative analysis said."
