I've had a permanent account on LJ for like three years. Just thought I'd mention that.

Today was okay. Fuj left pretty early to drive back to Canada. I goofed off here for the afternoon -- mostly playing Amplitude for some reason -- then walked down to pub quiz. We suuuuuuuuuuuucked. In a nutshell. The guy ahead of me was registering his team to be "Richie Sexson Fan Club", and I joked that I wanted to make our team the "Pat Borders Fan Club" but instead I registered us as "Leaders of the C Team". Next time I'll do the PBFC, I think.

I forgot to send Carl his birthday card because I was so absentminded last week and ran out of stamps, so I called him tonight. Happy birthday. Now you have to come out here and visit me and Oren!

Queer Eye For the Straight Guy is showing their "Boston Red Sox Makeover" episode tonight (Tuesday), supposedly. I hope I get to see it.

In other Sox news, they got slaughtered by the Cardinals today, and the Yomiuri Giants kicked out Gabe Kapler on Friday because he was sucking too much, so Takayuki Shimizu finally has his starting outfield job back. Yay.

Today was pretty cool. Fuj and I went to the Mariners - Devil Rays game. Due to my intricate knowledge of Safeco we managed to score some pretty awesome tickets in Field seating. It was a good game, too. Hideo Nomo was going for his 200th career win (counting his Japan and America professional games) and Jamie Moyer was going for his 198th career win. Moyer and Borders as a battery are the oldest pair in recent baseball history. It was Little League day and they had a giveaway of an adorable poster of current Mariners with pictures of what they looked like in little league. (It was for kids 14 and under, but I managed to find a stray one.) The stadium was reasonably packed. Pat Borders beat out a bunt for a single. Aubrey Huff pretend to be Ichiro, failed, and dropped a ball which led to the tying run. Moyer struck out 6 guys in 6 innings.

The game see-sawed a lot, with it tied 5-5 coming into the 9th. Adrian Beltre got his 1000th career hit, with a single to right -- and a minute later Richie Sexson hit a double, driving him in for the game-winning RBI. Good stuff. Well, except where Ronnie The Bear got the win totally randomly.

( Don't come around here Nomo )

After the game, Fuj and I came back to Northgate and bummed around the mall a bit. We went to Toys'R'Us and looked through their baseball card sets and bought a few, then looked around the mall for other stuff. Came home, he went to Safeway to get junk food, sort of like how I always raid Zellers for junk food when I'm in Canadia. Then we opened baseball card packs like the dorks we are, like "woo! I got a Hideki Matsui rookie card!" and whatnot. The Topps Cracker Jack cards really annoy me.

Went to Applebee's for dinner with Tanya, Charlie, and Keevon, which was neat because I haven't seen them in ages (well, before yesterday at least). Then we watched all of season 4 of Trailer Park Boys, which Fuj brought down on DVD. Goddamn that show is hiiiiiiiilarious, especially the "Ricky-isms" feature on the first disc.

I am so sore.

Okay, so after getting 3 hours of sleep last night I woke up at 7am today to go do the 5k co-ed walk in the Race For The Cure. Heidi and Cory picked me up, and we went downtown, and registered and stuff, and caught up with Megan and Katie and Jessica as they were finishing the 5k womens-only run. Then we started our walk. It was pretty cool. We walked from the stadiums up to the Western Avenue exit of I-99, all along the highway, first on the bottom side, then the top side. It was pretty neat and you got a great view of the water. I took tons of pictures.

The only thing is, since I did leg workouts yesterday with Megan and Heidi, my legs were JELLY when I was done. Still, it was pretty neat. The cool thing is that it turns out my brother also did the Race this morning, except that he actually ran the 5k. So I called him and we talked for a while and it turns out he's coming out here the day I have tickets to the Mariners-Mets game! Whee!

We went to breakfast at Minnie's cafe afterwards and got way too much food, but it was fun to chill out with people.

I came home, changed clothes, and then headed out to Marymoor park for

megami and

metroid23's party picnic thing. There were a whole bunch of people there I hadn't seen in a while; Kiefer and Fire, Laura, Fuj, Minwiz, DJ, Tanya and Charlie, Steve, Keith.. I called Edgars and he showed up after a bit too. We had a barbecue, and everyone else was playing bocci or however you spell it, the weird lawn bowling game. After a while we had a game of Ultimate frisbee, which was pretty fun, and oddly enough I found myself to be in better shape than several of the other people playing, even if I suck at throwing frisbees :)

There were these Amtgard or whatever people in the field next to us playing with big padded swords. Eventually they kicked us off of our picnic tables since they actually had the site reserved. We went and hung out in a field throwing around frisbees and stuff for a while. Keevon showed up, and Chris Foy, too. Around 7pm I realized that I'd been up for 12 hours on 3 hours of sleep and decided to drive home.

I nearly fell asleep on the way home, plus I am REALLY FUCKING SORE from doing the 5k and then playing Ultimate. So, sadly, I decided to just stay at home for the evening because I was worried about either falling asleep at the wheel of the car, or about not being able to actually walk. I've been in the Jorvik blockade on PP, and oh man, is it painful. Fuj should get here soon, he's gonna crash here and we're gonna go to the Mariners game tomorrow and watch Trailer Park Boys. Fun stuff.

I have cool pictures from today but I don't feel like playing with them yet.

Anyway, I do want to apologize to

theadana,

datavore, and

loree for skipping out on parties. I have the worst timing with everything... I always wish I was invited to parties, then when I am, I go kill myself and can't go :(
