Whoosh.
Relatively boring day I guess. I wanted to go out and experience the lovely weather, except I noticed that my car tires were looking relatively wimpy, so I experienced the lovely weather by going to the gas station and pumping air into my car tires. It may explain why my gas mileage has been (relatively) low (for a hybrid). The two tires on the passenger side of the car were in the 15-20 psi range, when they're supposed to be 30-35. Oops.
Ran some errands, then went over and played volleyball. My arm is fine but now my neck aches. I can't win. I did overhand serve quite a bit though and did fairly well at it, but it was mostly a last resort because I was sick of hitting the ceiling serving underhand. BG has returned after a several-week hiatus, but I avoided being on his team all day so he only got to tell me what I was doing wrong in hindsight once.
After vball I wasted the evening! Wheeeee. I watched another episode of Brother Beat (how I can enjoy a show with no plot so much is beyond me, but I do), and sang some songs, and wrote a parody of "I Hope I Get It" from A Chorus Line about Spring Training, and I think I should work more on my Vegas pictures so I can put them online, or something. Oh, and I should go to sleep at a reasonable hour. I hope.
I'll lj-cut the parody lyrics because I'm nice and I doubt anyone out there actually likes baseball AND is familiar with A Chorus Line, although I suppose the chance is higher on LJ than it'll be on Marinerds :) I really ought to get back to working on Moneyball The Musical.
God, I Hope I Get It
(to the tune of the opening song from A Chorus Line)

Let's do the whole combination, take your positions in the infield. From the top, a five-six-seven-eight!

HARGROVE: Okay, let's go back to the outfield and do some running. Half of you line up there, half of you over there. Go! [Coaches stand there timing the players as they dash across the field.] PLAYERS: God, I really blew it! I really blew it! How could I move as slow as that? Now they're gonna cut me! They're gonna cut me! He doesn't like the way I throw. He doesn't like the way I hit. He doesn't like the way I... HARGROVE: All right, let's see how you guys swing those bats. Just take it easy and hit the ball. [Players take batting practice as the coaching staff take notes.] PLAYERS: God, I think I've got it. I think I've got it. I knew they'd sign me all the time.
