Mariners lose, the weather's too hot, Indian food is good, and so is japanese TV

Oh, um, and for a real update, well, today I hung out with [personal profile] oren. We went to the Mariners-Indians game, which was a real sleeper -- it was just super-hot outside, and I was tired, and the game was pretty boring after the first two innings, which took like an hour. I'd said before the game, "The Indians are going to win," and of course, they did. I think the most exciting thing to happen during the game was when a section a few down from us all got up to sing happy 100th birthday to some lady. I was like, "Wow, she was born at the end of July 1905... that's a long time ago. I mean, like, that's about when Ty Cobb started playing baseball." (for the record: August 30 1905)

Blah blah. Afterwards we went to Oren's place and watched a bit of the White Sox - Orioles game on ESPN. I really just wanted to see Freddy Garcia pitch, but the Sox had to go and bat around the entire lineup in the first inning, so it took like 35 minutes before I got to see the Orioles come up. Apparently the slugfest ended in a 9-4 win for the Sox, though Brian Roberts and Eric Byrnes apparently hit back-to-back solo homers in the 8th, which is cool. (For Byrnes. I still hate the Orioles.)

We didn't see the rest of the game, though, since we watched the first episode of the live-action version of 逮捕しちゃうぞ; it's been about 7-8 years since I saw the anime of that, so I barely remember it except "it has two crazy cop chicks named Natsumi and Miyuki", but the live-action show was actually pretty good; I've always kinda enjoyed Japanese cop sitcoms ever since we all watched 踊る大捜査線 on the international channel back in college. After one episode we went to get dinner of Taste of India. I called Carl and left a message like "Hey Carl, it's Sunday night and Oren and I just watched a dorama and are now going to ToI, wanna come?" Unfortunately, I caught him during Firefly, but we talked later while we were back at Oren's watching another episode of Taiho. Hopefully we'll actually watch all of it eventually, and hopefully Carl will come visit soon!

Then uh, I came back here and wrote another parody song because I am a dork. And now I should sleep or I'll never get up on time.
