So, the baseball regular season has come to a close. I was out in Chicago this past weekend, so I was sorry to miss the celebration when the Sox clinched a playoff spot. But it was pretty cool being in a Chicago dive bar when the Cubs made the playoffs. I kind of wanted to walk down to the Wrigley area and cavort, but was content to stay at the dive bar and enjoy some K-Lo karaoke.
Congrats to Bill Mueller on securing the AL batting title. Not that we expected any less when we signed him.... oh and also congrats to me for securing two fantasy baseball championships. Wednesday, September 24, 2003
"The traditional alphabet consists of nothing whatever except sillinesses." Mark Twain knew what he was talking about. Every phoneme should correspond to one character. You should be able to look at a word and know how to pronounce it, or hear it and know how to spell it. (But I sure would miss correcting people.) Bah, whatever... it's not like a revised alphabet would prevent another "Laveranues" fiasco.

The only downside about having PollStar.com notify me of my favorite bands' tour schedules is that they tell me about all the cool stuff that I can't go to. For example, the Voodoo Music Experience in New Orleans. DJ Sasha, Blackalicious, Mos Def, Paul Oakenfold, the Roots, Cypress Hill, RJD2 and the White Stripes are all groups that I would go see if they were by themselves, let alone all part of the same festival.
I guess the good news is that I already have tickets for the Strokes and Kings of Leon on that Friday. Friday, September 19, 2003
I think if Pedro and Manny had a kid, he would look a little like David Blaine. And he would be really good at baseball (when he's not on the DL with pharyngitis).

The name of one of the Washington Redskins' wide receivers is Laveranues Coles. His first name is pronounced as if it were spelled "Lavernaeus", yet it is spelled "Laveranues". It's not pronounced "Laveranues". This really really bothers me.
If there's a word for that, I'll give mad props to whoever tells me it. Or my name isn't Baron Von Poopypants. (Still pronounced "Luke".) Monday, September 15, 2003
Congratulations are in order for Alan, who wrote a little something for the Boston Globe last week. He walked the length of Mass Ave from Dorchester to Arlington, and wrote stuff about it. Nice work A-Dog... but why didn't you swing by Jump Street to play some video games?

This just in, the Red Sox are going to win the World Series. I can't really imagine what would happen to Boston if that were the case. Or what would happen to me.

"Toxic Girl" by Kings of Convenience has the exact same BPM as my windshield wipers on the highest setting.

They're sending a wiiiiicked big balloon to the edge of space. All of the UK and some of France are going to be able to see it on its way up because it's so big. That's cool.

Alan forwarded me this quote from an article in today's Boston Globe: "We were literally shoe-horned into the building." It annoys me when words are misused... I guess I point this one out because it's (1) in a respected newspaper, (2) used to mean the opposite of "literally", and (3) just happening way too often these days.
