Baseball now, sleep later
I will not stay up to hear the Marines sweep the Japan Series. I will not stay up to hear the Marines sweep the Japan Series. I will not...
I decided to forego seeing Sweeney Todd tonight in favor of watching the CRAZY-ASS WHITESOX-ASTROS GAME instead. Oren tivo'ed it and I got there around 8ish. Little did I know that despite the game starting at our 5pm, I could have easily just stayed at home and seen 9 innings of baseball, at least.
Anyway, the funniest part is, the Astros tied it up and they went into extra innings. We hit the 10th inning in our Tivo timeline around 11:10pm, and I glanced at my phone, noticing I had an IM from![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
mdw. Against my better judgment, I looked at it. It was from 10:58pm and said something like "I hate baseball." So I wrote back like "Don't tell me the final score, just tell me how many innings it went to." He said "It hasn't ended. It's in the bottom of the 14th." Knowing that Tivo would only grab *SIX HOURS*, I told Oren, "Quick! Change to the live game! Change to the live game!" Fortunately, we saw that Tivo had decided to continue buffering Fox even after 11pm, so we just skipped the 11th through 13th innings, and tuned in to see Geoff Blum (!!?!?!) hit his home run. Man. What a game. I got home around midnight. Joe Crede is still my boyfriend.
I worked on sewing during the Sox-Stros game. Hemmed the entire yellow square of the banner and the side of the green square. It's funny -- I really can do just about anything in the world if I put my mind to it. But sometimes I have to be reminded.

I'm continually astonished at how few people carry this attitude. It's how I approach most of my home-improvement projects.
