Remind me that I should just give up on eating stadium food. Ugh.

taogrl and I had fun at the game. I was a bit sleepy, and still am. We started the game off with Mike's Hard Lemonade, acquired food that was all too bad for us, and began to watch the game.

taogrl is well on her project to take bad pictures with a cheap camera. I had my little elph with me too. I began to play a variation of the "yours and mine" game.

Recall that the game is played thusly:
-All the good looking people are "mine".
-All the freaks are "yours".
-First one to inform their cherished friend about the missing link that is their new mate wins the round.

This time, I put my camera to good use. I was taking pictures of the audience, and zoomed in on a concession vendor a few sections away. Finally she asked me what I was doing.

Me, showing picture on camera: See this guy here?
Her: Yeah.
Me: He's yours
Her: Dammit!

Good times.

The game went over 10 innings. There were fireworks, but I was starting to sense a gastronomical rebellion, so we left. For a moment, as we passed the river, I briefly considered tossing some chum into the river.

It's Saturday Morning!

The orders of business:
-make two pies
-attend hair appointment
-actually get out of bed and accomplish the first two items.

The first thing I do when I get up in the morning is turn on the tv, so I don't fall back asleep. PBS has the painter guy. "The Joy of Painting". Remember the guy with the delicate, peaceful voice and the huge afro? Bob Ross is his name. I have no clue if he's still alive. Ooop...I just saw a post-show plug for the Bob Ross Memoral Fund. I think he's parted from this mortal coil.

I really wish he would have dropped acid, and then did his painting show. He needed more angry suns and foreboding trees. And maybe he could have thrown in a dead body on his painting instead of a cute little log cabin.

Geez. It's now time for One-stroke Painting by Donna Dewberry. Today's topic, painting candles.

Lord, I am so not a crafts kinda gal.

Touch, lean and pull.
Touch, lean and pull.
And here we can touch, lean and push.

I was attacked!!!

...by the foulest of winged terrorists.

I didn't realize what taogrl meant when she said I would need to wash my car today. I knew I got hit by a few pigeons, but in the dark of night, I did not comprehend the magnitude of the refuse that was spackled upon my vehicle.

Poor Sta-puft, so noble and dutiful a vehicle should not have been treated thusly.

Sta-puft the marshmallowmobile is no longer a car. It's shit on four wheels.

Time to bust out the power washer again.

I'm bidding on three used cds on ebay:

-Bush, Sixteen Stone
-Fountains of Wayne, Fountains of Wayne
-Mighty Bosstones, Live in the Middle East

Two of 'em I shall get for about a buck plus shipping. Fountains of Wayne I may not win. Some other bastard is outbidding me, no doubt!

Pie

So, tonight's theme for the Platinum Chefs is "Pie". We're each bringing two pies to sample. I am the club DJ, so I will be providing music for our enjoyment. I did a search on iTunes for songs that have "Pie" in the title. I didn't pick them all. Some sounded too horrid. Several songs have the same title but sound quite different. I did NOT include Warrant's "Cherry Pie". It was way overplayed when it was out. No need to beat that dead horse. Here's what I chose:

'Tater Pie -- Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys
American Pie -- The King's Singers
American Pie -- Slaughter
