Club Baseball!

I forgot to blog yesterday. I was at the baseball game. It was a concert series game with Ne-Yo. I thought it was going to be as bad or worse than the Ludacris concert.

I don't want to sound like those "fashion experts" or anything, I noticed that when there are concerts people come in strange outfits like they are just going to a concert, and not a concert after a baseball game. This isn't a club! What if there was baseball game fashion police for all the games? Wouldn't that be funny/weird?

Later on there were some rowdy seat hoppers. Which reminded me of a Seinfeld monologue about seat hopping adults who pretend there is a problem with the ticket. Which I can't seem to find online for some reason. I forget which episode it's from; possibly "The Letter"? It was funny when some of them didn't know that they stopped serving beer at the 7th inning.

This concert was also sponsored by Power 106.

I'm happy that the telethon has been cut down in hours. I don't have to watch some lame acts like puppets. It was kind of mean how they booted out Jerry though.

Conan is not Conan

I'm very excited that UTB is showing anime again. They haven't since Lupin the 3rd series III concluded in late September 2010. They are showing Case Closed/Detective Conan. This should not be confused with that other Conan show with Mr. O'Brien.

They are going to show it during their kids' programming. I thought they were going to continue showing the Ultraman series. They showed Tiga, Dyna, and Gaia. I thought they were going to show Cosmos. This is also English subtitled. It's an ongoing series in Japan, so I'm not sure how long it's going to run on UTB.

I emailed the station in June to find out if they were going to show more anime. They told me that they were not going to show anime at 10PM on weekdays, but that were hoping to bring anime in the near future.

At the Angel game there were a lot of as my mom put it riffraff there for the Ludacris concert. I think it might have been sponsored by Power 106. I saw somebody there who looked like somebody from my past. I won't go into detail describing this person. I hope they didn't recognize me if it was them.

I was sitting near this female who was wearing her hair down and it was long-ish. She tousling with it. I hate to sound with my grandma, but it was annoying me! She was tousling with it so much she got relish in her hair from the hotdog she was eating. That's the problem with long hair it gets in everything. I wear my hair down, but I don't tousle it. I remember one time I wore my hair down and ate some messy food and got bbq sauce in it! Gross!

This time my dad did a better job of keeping score this time.

I really wanted to take my Cabbage Patch Doll to the game. He is baseball All-Stars edition and wears a "retro" Angels uniform. It was the current one in 1986. But I decided not to.

We left early and did not see the show. :(

What Terminology?

I forgot to post a blog yesterday

I keep confusing Dan Haren with Dan Harmon. Haren is a baseball player. Harmon is the guy who created the tv show "Community". Let's think about men in ugly shorts, and then cry. J/K ;P

I incorrectly though the giveaway at the baseball game was a concert and not a banner. My dad wanted to keep score. I gawked at the official Angels monkey Pillow Pets for $42! I thought the stuffed Capuchin monkeys were cute. They reminded me of Marcel from Friends.

My dad doesn't get my association with Western Bacon Cheeseburgers and baseball.

My dad was trying to keep score during the game but doing a poor job at it. He couldn't read the names on the screen behind us. I had to and spell out the names for him. I did get to put my knowledge of Japanese vowel sounds to good use.

My dad bought something from Ruby's and it was tiny. He got mad because I was dipping onion rings in au jus sauce. It's good and salty.

When the Angels scored my dad and I missed it because we were buying ice cream. Well I sort of saw it. I was busy watching the tv, and I wasn't ready to order. While we were gone he told m y mom to keep score. (she doesn't know how and neither do I)

For some reason I kept calling baseball helmets "hats".

I got a Minnie Mouse pin as a souvenir. My dad wanted me to get a stuffed money, but I wanted the pin because it took up less space.

My dad wanted me to go to the beach with him. Is he crazy? I'm waiting for a call from that place I applied to. Stupid! Most likely I'd be watching his stuff as he jogged on the beach. :/

Today: I was waiting around for that place I applied at to give me a call. They never did. :(

It's a good thing I didn't cut my nails for the job since I didn't get it. They would have been needlessly sacrificed.

I drowned my sorrows in some Angelfish music.

1st of July and Smoke gets in my Eye (because of fireworks)

I'd better acknowledge the Canadians. HAPPY CANADA DAY!

Here is a picture of somebody Canadian: Cory Monteith.

I should stop being a selfish American I can do that a few days from now.

I finally got my food card. Now I'm legally able in California to touch food! The test was so easy! I really didn't need to take 9 pages of notes. Hopefully this will make me more desirable for employers. I could possibly be touching your food!

My hair is longer and I still can't believe that I can still make a tight and proper bun. It looks like something Lilith Sternin would wear. I was trying to hold back a lot of hair. I even broke a clip. It was a cheapie one from the 99 cents store.

I was at the Angels vs. Dodgers interlaegue game. It was intense. I didn’t realize the rivalry was so strong. It thought it wasn’t that strong since Angels are American League and Dodgers are National League. When I went I wanted to remain neutral, so I didn’t wear either team’s color.

For Tony Gwynn they really need to distinguish between the father and the son. This is especially confusing if somebody remembers when the dad played.

It was hard for me to capture the Dodger fans' rowdiness. They don't throw napkins off the side. I think that is due to the construction of Angel Stadium as opposed to the construction of Dodger Stadium.

Some of the anti-Dodger cheers were “Can‘t Make Payroll!” and “Bankrupt Team” I wanted to start a “team debt” chant. I ‘d like to see somebody make a sign or shirt like that with the “D” in debt using the “D” from the Dodgers logo. I made this very quickly in paint. Excuse the sloppiness. I also like the "McCourt $0" shirt a Dodger fan was wearing. Some of the fans can have fun with this.

I have an idea for a funny song. In LA the local games are shown on KCAL, and the commercials have a little song in them. There is a lyric that goes "If you wanna be a champion then you can't wait any longer". I changed it to "If you wanna get paid then you can't wait any longer". ;P

Miscellaneous blog #38

I have a great idea for a relevant Halloween costume that I'm not going to use. Get a newspaper from that day and attach it to your clothes. You can even pick the section. Your costume will be front page news. (lame pun)

I have a tip about costume shoes. This is more of a tip for girls. I know a lot of people see a costume all pimped out with all the accessories and shoes. A lot of people go out and buy those cheap shoes the costume vendors sell. Just get some or use your regular black fancy dress shoes. This is one of the reasons I have many different pairs of black shoes. I don't know how many times they have made my Halloween costume look better even if it was homemade or not all pimped out.

I thought the Grilled Cheeseus episode of Glee seemed to move very slowly. Usually when I watch Glee the hour zooms by.

It's really great that the Dodgers didn't make the post season this year. My dad won't be hogging the computer at all hours following the games and such.

This is News?

Why does a baseball team manager leaving the team after the season qualify as breaking news? What should I expect that station breaks into regularly scheduled shows to show high speed chases.

miscellaneous blog #33

No lazy memoir today.

I have such a hard time shopping. My mom and my shopping styles clash. She is a driver and I'm an expressive. Except when I'm buying electronics; I'm an analytical. I've been sold too many bad electronics. I need to buy some supplies for my Halloween costume. It's already July, and I need supplies. Well the supplies I can get now. I think I might have to pick up a white turtle neck in a few months.

I'm going to post this question on the blog. If you something broke (like a cell phone or such something replaceable) and you didn't have the money at the moment to replace it. Would you "beg, borrow or steal"? to get another one?

I bought some of these gummi raspberries at the mall. I didn't like them.

Have you seen clips of this show Photon? It's freaky. I don't remember this show since it came out in 1986. It looks pretty cheesey. There is not much I can find about the series on the internet. Matt did review it on X-E a while ago. Which makes me wonder what the live action American version of Sailor Moon would have been like? I was thinking about that Sailor Moon episode "VR Madness" (I'm using the dub title). Which make me think about an idea I had a few years ago for a haunted VR/laser tag arcade. Ok, I got the idea from watching that Sailor Moon episode.

Didn't George Stenibrenner find a fitting day to pass away on? The MLB All Star Game, and a year an American League team is hosting. I thought about how he was portrayed on Seinfeld and voiced by Larry David. I was gonna use a quote from "The Jimmy" episode, but it was too long. Here is a quote from "The Muffin Tops" "How do you make that alcoholic chicken?".

I actually watched part of the game. I really wasn't planning to. I only wanted to see Amber Riley/Mercedes from Glee sing the national anthem. Too bad Gwen didn't do it. She is an Anaheim native. After all these years the National League team won an All Star Game. They hadn't won since 1996! I was 12 back then.

Fathers and Jurors

I do have to report to jury duty on Monday. :( It sort of reminds me of when I missed the 2002 parade because of Grad Nite. I should say I was recuperating from staying up all night. I slept through the whole thing. I hope there is a tv there or something.

Also in 2002 I missed the Angels' parade because it was a long bus ride home from CSUF.

I'm still trying to figure out what is considered contraband. I won't be taking my metal pencil cases. I'll probably have to take off my grommet belt like last time.

I was going to take all 7 Tokyo Mew Mew manga, but I decided to start off with 5. I'll try to keep myself occupied with writing and stuff. If I have to go for more than one day I'll bring the rest of Tokyo Mew Mew, and my Sailor Moon manga, and probably my Mister Ed book. For the 3rd day I'll bring the thick book from my memoir class.

Got another call from Career Advisor. Those people seriously need to fall off the face of the earth. They are trying to trick me by using different phone numbers. I stupidly answered a call. Now they know this is a live one. Once they say it's them I hang up the phone.

I can't believe my dad liked the gift bag I decorated for him for Father's Day. Perplexing.

Miscellaneous Blog #23

Let's see if I can crank out this blog. I'm only saying this in case the power goes out. It is really windy out there. I'm still thinking about coming up with a Halloween costume. I have some more ideas. One idea came to me while I was watching tv yesterday. That costume is a secret. Then I was thinking if I dress as Shirley that costume will be annoying to my cousins. If they see it. Maybe I'll make a strawberry costume with that red poster board I have and some gold glitter paint. I found my colored hairspray I have a pink can that was from my pink haired Gwen phase. Anyway I was testing out one of the cans to see if it still worked and I ended up spraying my hand. It was stained pink for like the whole day. It was really funny. :P

Here is something non costume related. You know who is singing the national anthem at game 3 of the World Series? The cast of Glee. Great promotion Fox! ;P I wonder how this will go over? I just love Glee though. It reminds me of high school. My school didn't have a glee club. We had choir. They took anybody and I mean anybody. Somebody even wanted me to join. I just have to say that I'm not exactly choir material. If anybody has heard me sing they know that. Since the town they live in starts with the letter "L" like the city I went to high school did. They say about being "Lima Losers". I wonder if they say that about people from the city I went to high school in?

Have you seen that Snuggie for Kids commercial? It's so stupid. Especially the line "It's Snuggie time!" WTH?! @.@ The kids in the commercial look like idiots, and I don't mean because they are wearing the Snuggie. Look at that one boy doing some kind of Macarena Cabbage Patch dance.

Loss! :(

So the Angels lost to the Yankees today. I'm sad. Now the World Series is going to be comprised of eastern teams Philly and New York. Or course the Yankees get home field advantage since the All Star Game counts now. The American League has been so dominating in that game. You know what is funny I think I know more Yankee haters than fans. There will not be a freeway World Series maybe next season...

Silly Thoughts

I tried posting this earlier, but I was having problems with blogger.

Ok so I was thinking about my other DVD volumes that I have and they are all cartoon series. I have Heathcliff, My Little Pony season 1 (80s series), and Chip 'N' Dale Rescue Rangers volumes 1&2. What if there were Terminator ponies. Like those Apocalypse Ponies from Robot Chicken. There could be liquid metal pony and a T-888 pony. Try and coaxing the kids into kissing those ponies like they did in the commercials. You know what I put in "terminator custom my little pony" and look what I found.

I can't believe the Angles pulled it out. For a while in that game they were looking bad. What about that fountain guy? I can't believed they showed him on tv. It reminded me of something somebody would do at a tennis match or something. Or maybe even a soccer game. They are still behind with 2 games under their belt. Well who ever wins the American League Championship series can guarantee there won't be a Floridian boy band singing the national anthem this time. Who's your Philly game prediction? I'm going with Boyz II Men. "Thank You". It would be cool if the Angels win and get Gwen Stefani to sing the national anthem. She's an Anaheim native.

You know why I think a lot of people can't really get into that show Community. I think it's because they have never been to a community college. They just can't relate. I think a lot of the jokes and stuff in the show ring true.

I'm still working another blog. I just need to write the captions for the pictures.

Out Of Material!?

You know what? I have no material! Can you believe that!? Ok well actually I do have material, but it's for The Rant Blog it just hasn't been all typed out yet. There are a few interesting antidotes. I do have some ideas I just need to scan some stuff.

Ok well I'll just comment on Shirley's latest facebook entry. You know my RSS feed to her facebook notes isn't updating again. Ugh! She wrote about the movie Where the Wild Things Are. Some people were saying that movie is for hipsters, and I guess kids too. Saying Shirley is a hipster is insulting to her. I liked the book as a child. I'm still curious how different the book is from the movie. Think about how different Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs was.

My bottled up emotions led to an emotional breakdown yesterday. I've gotta stop bottling up things.

So the Angels and Dodgers have the same post season record in their respective League championship series. With one win. Can they come from behind?

Happy Birthday Shirley!

Shirley Ann Manson was born on August, 26, 1966 to Mitchell and Muriel Manson in Edinburgh, Scotland…

Um…we already know that.

What have I been doing to celebrate? I’m wearing my hair in braids. Shirley braids. ^-^ I watched my “Absolute Garbage” DVD, ate some leftover cake and some Ferrero Rocher candy, and listened to Shirley music you know Garbage, solo stuff and Angelfish (not that listening to her music deviates from my normal daily activities). Oh yeah and I left her a birthday greeting on facebook. But I mentioned that I was working on it for a while.

Shirley even posted a note on facebook thanking the Noirings for all the birthday messages she received. I had a feeling she would do something like this. Shirley is not arrogant.

Also a birthday shout out to Adrian Young from No Doubt. Tomorrow it’s Tony’s birthday who is also from No Doubt. Ok now I have a mnemonic device for remembering my aunt’s birthday. It falls between Vince McMahon’s on August 24th and Shirley Manson and Adrian Young’s on the 26th. It’s like how my cousin gets mad because the only reason I remember his birthday is because him and Gwen Stefani’s fall on the same day and month, but not year. The only reason I remember one of my other cousin’s birthdays is because his falls on the same day and month and Tom Dumont’s from No Doubt, but it’s easy to remember Tom’s birthday since it’s the day before mine. I forgot if you are a fan or either Pat Benatar or Sal Mineo then you can remember my birthday since I share it with them (day and month only) :P
Here’s some Shirley fan art. I’ve posted this somewhere else before. I think this is one of my favorite pieces I’ve drawn. Someday I’d like to give it to her in person. Oh yeah I forgot to mention the brunette with the bun is suppose to be me. It’s a parody of this Tokyo Mew Mew picture.

Here is a bonus blog because I’m feeling generous.

Baseball is Fun

If you know I’ve been feeling a little down lately. Ok maybe a lot down. I just feel like there are all these mixed up feelings inside me and I don’t know how to get them out. I don’t know the repercussions if I do let them out.

I was invited to a baseball game yesterday. To celebrate my aunt’s birthday. That’s why I had posted my last blog so early in the day since I knew I wasn’t going to have time later.

I have to say something funny. I had wanted to go to a baseball game this year and I got to go. “Chaotic randomness” was bestowed upon me and I got to go to a game.

Since it was an Angel game and I haven’t been to one since the 90s. I think I’ve been to about between 3-5 games in total. Including the one I just went to. The only games I had been to were day games.

Here is a funny story that happened to me when I went to an Angel game when I was really little like 4 and I went with my dad. It was one of those surprise things he would like a little adventure if you will. Anyway he took me into the men’s bathroom because he had to go. There was a grasshopper in there, and all these grown men were freaking out about it. They were spraying it with like Binaca or something. It was really funny.

What is the best music to listen to when you are going to an Angel game? No Doubt anyone? I think it’s fun to listen to No Doubt while you are going down the freeways of Orange County California. But that it not the only or “purest” way to listen to No Doubt.

I was also afraid I was going to get lost in the park. Since I’m not very familiar with it. I can find my way around Dodger Stadium since I’ve been there so many times. While I was looking for something to eat I ended up walking around half the park. I started at about left field and ended up near home plate. :/ As I was wandering around the other side of the park looking for hot dogs and candy. I saw some kid that looked familiar. Then I noticed it was my cousin and his family. I wasn’t really paying attention at first since I was thinking about what I wanted to eat. I wanted something meaty or sweet.

I ended up going with sweet. I needed a nice sugar high to say awake. My baby cousin was there, and we were passing her off down the aisle. We wanted her to get on camera, but they didn’t show her. :(
Here is a picture I took from where I was sitting sorry if the quality is bad.

I noticed I picked up some of my baseball eating habits from my dad. He doesn’t really like to eat “meals”. He’s like a scavenger grazer or something. See? Not everything I write about him is negative.

I’ve also include my list of “baseball foods”
Cracker Jack/popcorn
Hot dogs
Ice cream with a wooden spoon (it‘s just not the same without it)
Some type of meat snack
Western Bacon cheeseburger (although I associate that more with Dodger games)
Peanuts
Candy (especially licorice)

Miscellaneous Blog #15

I have a blog ready to go, but it was sort of small, so I decided to make it another miscellaneous blog.

I wrote about going on a Twitter diet. Which I still sort of am even though I made like 4 tweets within the past 2 days. I don't know it's just really spammy. Maybe the novelty has worn off?

I decided that I’m using twitter too much, so for the past few days I put myself on a diet. I’m still debating if I should exploit twitter for more blog traffic. I’m going limit checking it down to about 2 times a day. I won’t tweet as much either. I will not be closing my Shirley Manson group. I’ve already racked up about 180 tweets. I mean know there are people that join it, and rack up 1000+ tweets in like 3 days.

I don’t even really look at the trending topics anymore. Cause all they are is this “Make $100000000000000000000 a day using the Internet #trendingtopic“ or “Marbreka is such a a bitch #trendingtopic”

I'm still working on my blog about boba. Which should be finished really soon.

I was watching the MLB All Star game today. Remember, it counts now. There is this really cute commercial with little kids as baseball fans. Actually I sort of forgot it was on today. Usually the game happens around my half birthday. But that was on Friday. I still want to eventually throw a baseball themed half birthday party. Who would throw a baseball themed party in the winter? Unless you really like baseball.

Of course to celebrate the All Star game I ate a lot. The decadence of processed beef jerky and shrimp dip. I like to dip jerky pieces in my dip. It's great when you get a little shrimp piece scooped up on your jerky. Nothing like double meat.

As I'm typing this the AL won again! WOW! They are dominant. Which is a little funny since an NL team won the World Series last year.

I forgot to add this. This idea came to me as I was watching the game and I was eating some Crunch n Munch. My dad chose a good box. It had lots of "clusters" in it. You know where there is a big chunk of peanuts and popcorn in a huge blob of caramel. As I was licking it like a lollipop. Which make me think what if there was like a candy like a lollipop on a stick of caramel and popcorn and peanuts. You know like those See's caramel pops, but bigger. I think it would be a great seller at like a carnival or a fair.

I just have to admit I love covered popcorn like Poppycock, Screaming Yellow Zonkers, Cracker Jack and that flavored popcorn you could get in the mall like back in the 80s. I loved rainbow popcorn!

Miscellaneous Blog #11

With all this talk about the Laker parade not happening and then it got private donors. Which made me think how much chaos would the city of LA be if the Dodgers won the World Series? It's been a while since they won it.

I was going to write a blog tomorrow, but my dad hogged the computer all day yesterday...
I'm going to write a "nice" blog about him for fathers day. I should post the one I wrote last year comparing my dad to 3 tv dads in my archives blog.

I started a twibe- a twitter group. It's about Shirley Manson since I felt there was not really a group presence of the fans to gather on twitter.
